Because Kamala

[DKTanker]

From now on I'll refer to the mainstream media as "Bob" as in Baghdad Bob.

As entertaining as Bagdad Bob was, the ignominy of Jeffrey Toober er Toobin and the dumber Cuomo Brother is far more compelling....

BTW, are you digging the Kammi?  Are you?

Well I'm holding off till I see who she picks for VP and what kind of campaign she runs. But realistically I'll probably vote for none of the above again.

Anyone else amused at all the crazy conspiracy theories from a week ago of Biden being dead/incapacitated... and now that it's clear they were all hogwash folks are just continuing on like nothing was said?  What's even better, that won't stop the next wave of crazy conspiracy theories from coming out.  🤣

Kind of like those crazy conspiracies that Trump faked the assassination attempt, and cut his ear with a professional wrestling tool.

So just two days after stating he'd be thrilled to be debate Harris anywhere anytime, The Donald has seemed to have caught a case of cold feet.

What I am amused by is that the Democrats have a President that so excellent at his job that the party forced him out of his own campaign, pushed the VP into that same campaign, tried to take the funds from Biden's campaign, called it grass roots and does not have the integrity to 25th amendment Biden because he's so mentally compromised. Biden doesn't resign in his address,  that is too clearly a proper path, so now we ahve this shadow presidency or regency that's not even proper for the rule of law in this country. 

Yeah. Amusing as hell. You guys have the GALL to complain that Trump is too old to run when BIDEN is STILL in office as president and apparently non compos mentis? If he was ANY other family member in this nation, folks would hae taken the car and house keys away and put him in assisted living OR hired a full time caretaker/nurse.

Hey, remember when the SecDef went on medical leave and no-one knew? Remember when the transportation secretary went on Maternity leave for 2 months and no-one noticed for over a month? 

It's like the democrat leadership just phones in from home like they've still got covid and don't need to go to work to run the country. But they campaign on GOOD and excerpt leadership. 

Your amusement is hilarious and disconnected from reality.

IT wasn't a crazy conspiracy theory set, it was a set of extrapolations and concerns and folks clearly pointed out it was all very uncertain. 

But do go on about your standards with the incompetent president that's too old and befuddled to be charged but still holds the seat of power in the oval office.

Here is perhaps the greatest difference between what motivates the left and the right.  Currently the left drinks kool aid from the pitcher labeled "Leftist ideology", it doesn't matter who is "the leader" so long as the ideology is moved forward.  Currently for the right, it's wedded to drinking kool aid from the pitcher labeled "Cult of personality."  Which, do you suppose will, in the long run, reign supreme?

No one on TN posted anything of the kind. Furthermore no MSM posted anything of the kind, where as “proof of life” calls were repeated on Faux News. So no, those things are not at all equivalent. Weekend at Bernie’s Biden was a mainstream conservative rumor repeated here by by multiple members; false flag Trump assassination was never mentioned until this post by you and I challenge you to link to a media outlet that proposed it.

To DKTankers point - there does not seem to be much of a platform or ideology binding the GOP once Trump leaves office or loses the election. If he backed out of the race tomorrow like Biden did, what would the Republican Party do? Who would they rally around?

Please show me where I made any of those claims to defend your strawman. Also, why would I defend fox news? Fox news is at best controlled opposition.

Skywalkr noted that there were people theorizing Biden was already dead or incapacitated on this board and that none of them mentioned it again after his speech. You posted a random weirdo’s conspiracy theory as a counterpoint, which I took mean there were left wing equivalents. I am merely pointing out there are no such equivalents, either on this board or in MSM.

Actually, I think it speaks to my point that for several days there were posts here that were just... out there about Biden's status.  Now, not even a week later, folks don't even remember it.  Probably makes it easier to come up with the next batch of batshit crazy ideas to post about.

For real what a bunch of nut jobs. I dont know why those nutjobs that were gaslighted for over 5 years now about Biden's mental acuity and who are are now being gaslighted about Kamala being border czar by the same folks would have serious distrust of any narratives those folks put out, and participate in speculation about what the truth actually is.

For me its, policy, SCOTUS appointments and smaller government. His personality is not the key thing. 
 

Even for my father who’s not a sophisticate at politics, but a life long independent businessman, the personality is just the sauce on the brisket of policy. Yes he likes the personality a lot, but if it was all over nothing then he’d be less enthused. 
 

Maybe best to describe Trump as Burnt ends rather than brisket?

Did you not wonder where he was? Did you feel the same about the SecDef going AWOL? Or are you entirely ok with a President who's not functional after 3pm and gets up at 11 am? Can't finish an 18 minute speech pre-recorded at 6:10 PM, aired at 8pm, can't attend meetings on time and can't make a 2 minute Debate challenge without 18 edit cuts?

Oh, I QUITE remember it. I also remember when CNN was on tenter hooks when the President was admitted for medical conditions and EVERYONE waited to see what was up. This goes back to the 80s CNN broadcasts. But now, The president can be absent for nearly a week and you're OK with that. So's the lefty media. 

Funny that. 

So, again. I'll ask. Why is Biden Dropping out of the race? Why hasn't he been 25th amendment'd? 

I think it's HILARIOUS that you keep dodging around that and seemingly think it's reasonable as a current state of affairs.

what part of Trumps last term was smaller government or less spending?

For starters the part where he did not try to use the government to force people to get the vax or lose their means of making a living.

That's a pretty big one right there.

Last sentence first. The left will almost reign supreme until the return of Jesus Christ. What we are enduring now was foretold in the Good Book.

For the beginning of your paragraph I agree with you on leftest motivation, but not for the right. The right is rightly concerned over the ever rising evil power of the federal government over their lives. Trump is the man willing to combat this wretched over reach of the federal government.
