    I interrupted him this morning while he was slaughtering cattle on Minecraft, so he was in a bit of an aggressive mood. He said there are so many assholes of all sorts ( both attacker and “defender”) saying stupid things, I’d be wasting my limited remaining lifespan calling them all out. He also said the phrase “calling them out” is “so nineties”. He gets some sick pleasure out of calling me old.

    So I won’t be wearing your ribbon anytime soon.

    For the party of fiscal responsibility the majority supports a candidate that is costing taxpayers huge amounts of money.

    Taxpayer money being spent on Lawyers who have been working on the fake elector/find me votes schemes. The 1/6 riot which was scary at the time but even more scary now seeing what the investigators have uncovered. Classified documents in unsecured locations which were not turned over to the government despite requests and demand cost an enormous amount of money to get them out of Mara Largo to a secure location. .Increased security costs in law enforcement to guard those who have been threatened by Trump, as well as cities where rallies were held. Increased cost of fencing and other barriers. Court costs. FBI investigators, secret service costs, and so on.

    The amount of money that has been spent is astronomical and the trials haven't even started yet. Plus many people are fearful for themselves and their families being targeted by kooks who truly believe they are defending a victim by going after his.perceived enemies.

    And to think that Taxpayer money could have been spent on our aging bridges, mass transit, increased benefits for veterans for example. Or lowering taxes or shoring up Medicare.

    I'm late coming back to this thread, and am not going to read all 208 pages of it, but the reason I can't vote Republican is they are all warmongers.

    DeSantis tried edging away from funding the Ukraine war, got pounced on, and quickly backtracked.

    Vivek, the only one I've seen signs for in NH, wants to stop funding Ukraine but only so he can try to provoke a war with China. Haley is running lots of ads, also rattling sabers at China.

    It was very refreshing to hear Kennedy advocate for peace, but digging deeper I found out this is apparently a vanity campaign. There are no attempts to get him on the ballot in Massachusetts. You only need 2,500 signatures which for a Kennedy in this state is nothing. The state campaign manager told me they won't do anything until after NH has its primary. I pointed out that is in 2024 and the Mass deadline is in December 2023 and she blocked my post.

    I left the Kennedy groups, took down my yard sign, and sent a message to the Williamson campaign asking if they plan to get on my ballot. No answer yet.

    Only D, R and L have primaries in my state and the Libertarians told me they won't have one.

    Cornell West is another option for the general election.

    I really like Cornell West. I'd have to know more about his platform, but I'd be interested in learning more.

    That's funny, my son was suggesting him as the only candidate he could think of, too.

    According to Snopes, this is a fake. Tell us again who will believe anything.

    Didn't check it out because it is something he would say. Originally he was a democrat so it made sense. But, you are correct, I should have checked it out and it is false.

    I think that’s what the media refer to as “too good to check”.

    Has nothing to do with the media. trump has said many documented stupid things that were hard to believe. Sadly, nothing he does is surprising any more. We can only hope he gets out of the spotlight soon (no matter how). It was great when he could not twitter and was quieted. I look forward to the day when he is just a memory.
