He is age 67, just a young whippersnapper when compared to the two creaky old likely candidates.
I am frantic to think the major parties are presenting the SAME TWO UNSAVORY CHARACTERS as the last time around.
Democrats, here is your chance, send some money Jay’s way. Give him some momentum. Show him love.
From what I’ve heard… voting for a no label candidate that you describe is as good as giving trump the win. Don’t ask me to elaborate ‘cause I didn’t pay close attention to the reasoning. That being said, I also think it is unwise to vote for a candidate you know will never win … as discussed in previous threads.
I can't tell you how sick I am of abusive, combative, political bullies. That line alone would disqualify him for me.Quote:

What, exactly, do you find unsavory about Biden?Quote:

I certainly wish that we had 2 younger viable candidates running. However, the last thing I am going to do is help trump by voting for a third party candidate.
Me, too, Jane.Quote:

The whole laptop thing was dismissed as a BS hit job until it morphed into an “invasion of privacy” without so much as a backward glance.
I know it's important to some to believe that the laptop isn't Hunter's, and that whatever documents such as emails, instant messages, etc., have been modified for political purposes. The problem with that is that he's admitted that the laptop is his and all those documents exist elsewhere such as in the accounts of various senders and receivers.Quote:

Or, why after 170 suspicious activity reports from various banks, no one has expressed interest in investigating them.
It sure seems likely to me that Hunter and the big guy are interchangeable, that Hunter's entire career has been based on being a conduit to his father's influence, and willing to work with any foreign entity willing to spend a few million harnessing that influence. I think that anyone who doesn't at least consider that is not paying attention.
No, JP, I do not think Hunter and daddy Joe are interchangeable.Quote:

Is it the foolishness about President Biden sniffing someone's hair? Manufacturers go out of their way to make shampoos smell good for a reason. "Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific" was even a brand sold by Jergens. I guess that's the worst people can come up with, given our burgeoning economy.
Do you think I care about memes of Biden sniffing peoples hair? Are you serious?Quote:

The real travesty is that he is just being charged with crimes. The bottom line is that it doesn’t matter who’s in power if the election results are honored. As history has shown we will have both parties in power at different times as it should be.
What would you prefer?Quote:

I am an old person who is ageist. We need to get rid of these ancient creaky politicians.The world is laughing at us when they arent concerned about a superpower being run by a bunch of dotty oldsters.

Totally agree IL!!!
When asked what he thought of another Trump/Biden contest, Bill Barr said “I’ll jump off that bridge when we come to it”.
It must take a certain kind of ego to convince yourself that you are better equipped at 80 years old to handle your extremely important job than anyone else around. I agree with you. If it winds up being a Biden/Trump contest, I will vote for Biden, not because I am pro-Biden. I'm pro-environmental policy and I don't see any candidate from the Green Party winning the election, and I certainly don't want to revisit the days of Trump rolling back 100 environmental regulations, inviting his business cronies to head the EPA, and removing protections from forests and indigenous sacred lands.Quote:

The heat is getting hotter on President Biden and I now think there’s something “there “there.
NY Times seems to have quite a bit of coverage of Hunter.
Lots of good recipes too.
Have at it.
Yes, but have they expressed any curiosity about the identity of Robert L Peters or JRB Ware? I'm not a subscriber so can't check for myself.Quote:

The recipes though, very nice stuff.
I searched the NYT for both names: Robert L. Peters and JRB Ware. Nothing.
There is coverage in the NY Post, MSN, Newsweek and The Hill. Can't reliably search the Washington Post or WSJ.
It’s a shame for republicans that Archer’s testimony last week was such a dud. But I suppose just as we had 342 pointless investigations into BENGHAZI!!! BENGHAZI!!!!! BENGHAZI!!!! we’ll have endless sham investigations about Hunter biden. And of course in the meantime republicans will continue to be completely unconcerned about why the Saudi’s gave Jared kushner $2 billion.
So, one of Hunter Biden’s legal charges is a federal gun charge. I have not been paying much attention to the Hunter Biden story, but this makes me wonder what the gun control crowd thinks.
I understand that if the brothers in St. Louis with their illegally held guns aren’t being prosecuted, I wouldn’t much expect Hunter Biden to be prosecuted, but, that can’t be a universal point of view, right? What do you gun control folks think about this? Don’t you think we should enforce the gun laws we have? Piling on more gun laws isn’t going to help any situation if we aren’t willing to enforce what we have on the books.
