I have a good idea who will be throwing him a big birthday bash on a mega yacht.

Is it OK to hope he doesn't? 

Asking for a friend.

Given the flawed system allowing lifelong appointments to the Supreme Court, hope is justified.

Well, Trump was just indicted this evening.

That should pump some life back into it.

Imagine being naive enough to believe that the Biden Bribe evidence and Trump indictment happening the same day was a coincidence.

Yeah, and the Biden bribe "evidence" isn't really even evidence.

It's  document from some shady FBI informant that alleges Biden was involved in some bribery scheme.

And of course we know what ol' Joe calls it....

"A buncha malarkey!!!!"

Personally I detest both Biden and Trump and the current state of our politics. I think the Republic is in grave trouble.  I will go with a third party candidate next time around.

True. But the timing of it was to distract the rest of the country away from the "it wasn't me" smoke calamity caused by a negligent socialist regime in Canada.  An un-apologetic piece of sh!t in Trudeau, who knows year after year of Canada's penchant for forest fires, is currently down 15k firefighters, keeps revisiting whether Canada should create a national firefighter service, and does nothing. Mind you he'll blame climate change, but this has been going on since before the industrial age, so, no excuses, just more lip service.

This should get people posting again...

You have absolutely no evidence for this statement and quite frankly, it’s just a bizarre world view.

Are you truly looking to pivot to Canada being in on some climate conspiracy because your man is had a real shot at going to jail for espionage?

Seriously wackadoodle!

I like Biden the man, who is by his own nature and instincts, an old-school moderate centrist.

Unfortunately, the reality of politics means that the extreme left elements of the Democratic Party voting base are able to succeed in pulling him over towards their side on some issues, just like the extreme right wields similar power over Republican leaders. 

But Biden has managed to get some good bipartisan things accomplished and that is a noteworthy achievement in today's world.

I would love to see the rise of a viable, centrist third party that was equally comprised of moderate Democrats and Republicans sick of all the extremist nonsense, and whose membership was big enough to seriously challenge the other two parties.

There is something afoot with a group calling itself No Labels, but I'm not sure if it's legit or if it's a ruse by conservatives to draw voters away from the Democrats.

very good points.  except that the Red & Blue will never allow it.

contrary to what y'all might think of me or how I think, I did tell fellow Trumpophiles when he was running, that he should've picked Sanders from the other side of the aisle as VP.  If he was really an outsider, then pick the guy that went up against Hills and throw a wrench into the Washington machine.  Instead, as you indicated above, he was forced to cohabitate with a GOP right winger in Pence.  So much for innovative ideas.

Half the stuff I posted above was in jest.  But at least people are posting.  No one really cares about airports and trains except for about 5-6 people here...

I was just reading about them.  I am a moderate Republican. … a dinosaur with no party in this day and age. Tim Scott is who the wife and I are pulling for.   Biden the Centrist would have been Fiume with me.  I thought Bill Clinton was a very good President.

Is owning personal property illegal in Canada? No? Then Canada isn't a socialist country. But then, you already knew that. You're just parroting MAGAt propaganda as usual.

oh, I'm just assuming that because my liberal ex-gf was telling me how great Canada was and what's the big deal about socialism since that's what they have in Canada.  Well, then that's on you guys; that's what you preach to voters to fool them into thinking that socialism isn't all that bad, i.e., see Canada.  It's true.  I've heard it more than once.  Canada may not be socialist per se, but Trudeau is.  But I don't know what you're getting all defensive about.  You're American, aren't you?

both parties changed in 2008 and it went downhill from there.  We would have been better off if Hillary became president instead...blame the Kennedys...

It is more of a democratic/Scandinavian social democracy. Definitely not socialist or classical liberal like we (pretend) to be.

If we can avoid Trump winning in 2024, that would likely (hopefully) be the last time we'll have to deal with him.
