JSO is 60-70% right about Trump. His hyperpartisan bias keeps him from accepting that there were good things that happened under the Trump administration. Cloaking his hyperpartisan bias in word salads of quasi-logic doesn't make it right and neither does his junior high science fair prize.

Mr. Irrelevant strikes again. Just 11 days late this time. Why don’t you root back into the Cap’n Cat era and find something fresh?

Re: 2024 Primary
Well, she clearly ISN’T planning on running. SD legislature has a bill prohibiting vaccine mandates in SD, similar to what has been passed in other red states, and she won’t sign it.HI54UNI wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 7:00 amSD Legislature passed a bill requiring athletes to participate in sports based on their gender at birth and she had previously indicated she would sign it.

She didn't technically veto it but she sent it back using language that is intended to be used to fix typos or other bill drafting errors. People are pissed.
She was on the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show yesterday. Buck was directly asking her about refusing to sign the bill, and she kept trying to obfuscate, laying out her conservative bonafides, and he wasn’t having any of it- Kept asking her, and she kept spinning. It actually got a little testy

Re: 2024 Primary
Tiptoeing the line between appealing to the base to win the primary and appealing to the masses to win the general election can't be easy. Signing those bills appeals to the base but could costs votes in swing states in the general election.BDKJMU wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 11:01 amWell, she clearly ISN’T planning on running.

Re: 2024 Primary
That’s not what I said. Reading is fundamental.
I said exactly what I said. Tiptoeing won’t win the primary.
And it shouldn’t. I don’t want a tiptoer.

Re: 2024 Primary
What you left unsaid (italicized) is why ideological purity/loyalty to Trump is more important.
You can believe that it won't cost the R candidate votes in swing states but I disagree.

Are you sure about that? Obama was arguably the last functioning adult in the office.

I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but I’d take Obama in a heartbeat over this tree stump. i may not have agreed with his policies (at all) but at least he was all there mentally.

Taking Obama over Biden is an easy call but what about Obama or Trump? Obama was a functioning adult and Trump wasn't/isn't.

Re: 2024 Primary
That says a lot considering your disdain for Reagan.
What are the parallels between Reagan's mental capacity at the end of his Presidency compared to Biden at the beginning of his?

Reagan was a Mensa candidate at the end compared to where Biden is now.

Re: 2024 Primary
Is it too much to ask for us to have a President that loves the USA and has the nations best interest at heart, with full mental faculties and analyzes actions on their own merits?
