If the only things that are are accomplished by this administration are balancing the budget and removing woke nonsense from government and government funded entities, picking Trump over Harris is a no brainer. Failing to address the staggering debt amassed by the US is not an option. It may be possible to avoid catastrophe by a complete paradigm shift, but it is going to be painful either way. We've been whistling past the graveyard for too long. Gender change can wait until one reaches majority, at which point who cares? On children it amounts to child abuse and deserves treatment as a felony. The discrimination in DEI is both unconstitutional and immoral. Having said all that, Trump is a truly awful human being, and such things as his take on Ukraine are simply jaw dropping. If we can balance the budget, put woke to bed without supper, and keep Trump from fucking up anything else too badly, perhaps having the nauseating sonofabitch around for this term will be worth it. At least he's an improvement over Harris, but that's not saying much.

The debt alarmists won't stop beating the war drum no matter the explanations. Speaking of war drums, if you go back 250 years of American history and make a national debt graph it becomes obvious that the most expensive thing in terms of national debt we've ever done is get rid of the Indians. Probably nothing we can do about it now, I reckon.

You think that's going to be accomplished? Massive LOL.

Mr. we could use a man, like Herbert Hoover, again

I'd say the side that added more debt is more responsible. Both republican and democratic presidents have presided over wars; in the long run it averages out. The one thing that does NOT average out is the republican tendency to cut taxes and increase spending.

It's not your regular cruise. Thoroughly recommend.

One weekend at Perris Cap't Hooks Sky Pirates were practicing their 10 man speed stars and told everybody that after they got together anybody else could come in on their formation, I got 4 20 man's in a row that day, there is something to be said about "the good old days".

So did we. National Geographic Explorer. Didn't see you there.

They do good work. We went to the Antarctic on one. During the pandemic, and they had everything planned well. Wendy P.

A couple of years ago my aunt posted on FB asking if anyone had any good BBC video recommendations. My ex being Aussie was horrified and asked my aunt if she had meant to post that publicly:) Very funny seeing the acronym have 2 very different meanings

Hi John, That'll teach her to be a woman. Jerry Baumchen

David, You are the future and you are right for the task. When you actually have the real ability to change things most of us here will be long gone. Please take that responsibility seriously. Joe

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-supreme-court-declines-let-trump-immediately-fire-agency-head-2025-02-21/ Here’s a sliver of hope for you and your beliefs. It’s not over yet, but at least the SC didn’t roll over immediately.

Everyone has priors. And yes there is media hijacking to influence and propagate stories. You can search the payments on government websites for internews. Maybe they were paying $490 million for something other than directly influencing and censoring media narratives, but it looks pretty damning. Especially in light of the internet censorship that we saw 2016 to about 2022 coupled with what Zuckerberg himself has stated was done to meta to get them to comply with censorship. Also, Elon but you probably don't believe the Twitter files story. In addition, on Reddit, every single subreddit, including ones not related to politics, were completely spammed with Kamala and pro DNC messaging.
