Put the country before himself - yes, finally, but he’s done it.

Please God let my country be ok.

One recent change is that n one in the US is taking this kind of hyperbole seriously any longer. Even the tops dems are privately admitting things are not as bad as they pretend, regardless of who is elected.

Untrue. I know how worried many, many people in the US are.

Cool that you found out what 'the top dems' are privately admitting though.

It was in the news. 🤷‍♀️

I fear this. Republicans have paid the long game with the court. It really isn't unthinkable, but it is terrifying to me to think about.

Part of the Supreme Court mess was the arrogance and stupidity of RBG who, had she stepped down would have been replaced by someone Obama chose.

Yes Stacey Abrams would be my choice, i really respect her

Oprah blew any credibility grifting over Lahaina.

As Obama said at the last Press Dinner about the upcoming 2016 Election
" Your choices are meat or fish. Now you may not like meat or fish but those are your only options, Meat or Fish'

Interesting discussion about this now.

Same people that ousted Joe. I’ll try to find it again. Was this morning before the news about Biden pulling out. Someone on the D side said big donors were privately saying it isn’t as terrible as they say publicly.

Rosscameasdoody · 21/07/2024 21:51

So George Clooney for president then.

RogueFemale · 21/07/2024 21:53

He's out because the donors wouldn't fund him. Next in will be the one the donors will fund.

I don't really see how donors (I assumed you meant senators or reps by 'top dems) can foresee how Trump II will play out.

Trump has legal immunity, no guard rails whatsoever, no moral compass and Project 25. Nothing to worry about, eh?

Saying people aren't worried is demonstrably untrue.

The black population was the second largest part of the population after white Americans for decades. Now it's Hispanic/Latino by a long way.
The values that the Hispanic/Latino population largely ascribe to (if not necessarily live by), family and religion are better reflected by Trump - who is terrified of the alcoholism that killed his disowned brother - than Biden who has indulged Hunter.
The settlers on the Mayflower weren't religious missionaries, they were fundamentalists who wanted to create a country that fitted their extreme beliefs.

No elected person is truly worried about anything beyond their own seat. The big donors make the decisions here. You can dismiss their opinions, but I won’t. They are the ones that decide who gets to run.

I don’t think God blesses genocidal maniacs. Bless the Palestinian children he helped murder instead.

I never said she was. I said it’s a lazy critique often used against women in positions of power. She’s got a degree in politics and economics and is a qualified lawyer. You don’t get to the position she is in by being thick.

You tend to get into those positions as a result of being from a privileged background, she certainly has that going for her

Emmanuelll · 21/07/2024 21:58

Anthony Scaramucci is saying that nobody should underestimate Kamala Harris because she hasn't had a chance to show what she's capable of. He thinks that she's capable of putting together a winning coalition like Obama did.

Keep the nuclear button well away. Please?

Like the drivel about Trump doing away with term limits, the use of nuclear weapons isn't down to just one person; there's a very thorough process involved, so while many of us are worried about Trump being elected it seems a bit pointless to scaremonger

AInightingale · 21/07/2024 21:59

Could someone please tell me what qualifies Michelle Obama to run for the presidency? She hasn't been a congresswoman, or a senator. She spent two terms as First Lady. The US president is not a figurehead, the incumbent occupies the most powerful and responsible role in the free world. Trump had no political, military or diplomatic experience, did that end well? I can't understand why her candidacy would be seriously considered.

Emmanuelll · 21/07/2024 22:00

At the end of the day, if Trump gets in again, women can say goodbye to their reproductive rights and America will be run by white supremacists.

But it wasn't donors opinions about who was running that you were talking about - you said that 'top dems' weren't worried about an extreme right Trump II presidency.

You're just changed the topic of conversation?

Hedgeoffressian · 21/07/2024 22:00

Why isn’t Michelle Obama running for it? I thought she’d be good and is very popular.

Oh my goodness. Then we’d better listen!
