Hi Mark & Joe, I think most of us realized Biden was old, but I also think we were somewhat dishonestly misled about how bad he was getting. Old and demented as Biden might be I still believe he'd be better than Trump. Unfortunately it is that shallow belief that blinded me to the reality that he is old and demented and no one I should have supported in 2024. I too think Biden would be better than what we have now; hell, just about anyone would be better. IMO the real crime is the cover-up of Biden's condition. I think the up-coming Jake Tapper book is going to be very interesting reading. And, when we talk about those who hang on way too long; let us not forget RGB, she got us Trump's three picks on the Supremes.

Aren't You Glad You Voted For Trump

Hi folks, The list of those who have been or will be shafted by Trump gets longer & longer: Across the rural Midwest and West, plenty of farmers still fly Trump 2024 flags over their barns, but quietly worry his latest trade war will bankrupt them. Low prices and Trump's trade war are pushing these Northwest farmers to the brink : NPR Jerry Baumchen -
Hi Bill, Just to show people how stupid the MAGA-World is, Jill Biden has doctorate in education, not medicine. Jill Biden - Wikipedia Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, Just saw this: Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, which has metastasized to the bone Joe Biden diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer : NPR A very, very good friend, who I knew for 70 yrs, died earlier this year with the same diagnosis. His doctor gave him 6 months; he lived 5. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ken, In the world that you & I live in? Yes. In Trump's world; who in the hell knows. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, Last year, I posted that I did not think that Biden would make to 85. Looks like I might have been onto something: Joe Biden diagnosed with prostate cancer, his office says Jerry Baumchen

Hi Folks, Re: federal law enforcement also announced charges against an Iraqi man accused of casting a ballot in the 2020 election Trump's DOJ focuses in on voter fraud, with help from DOGE : NPR I am of the opinion that this is the first steps to having Trump's gov't overturn the 2020 election. He still tries to argue that he won in 2020. Now, only a fool would believe him. But, Trump is too thin-skinned to ever admit a defeat. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ken, THAT I 100% agree with. Re: the failure of anyone in the party to stand up Very similar to the failure of the GOP-types to stand up against Trump when they know what he is doing is ruining this country. As to what is/was worse: That answer is very subjective. It was about 40 yrs ago that I read an excellent article on why the Belt-Way Types refuse to give up the prestige & power that their offices give them. Or so they think. I wish that I could remember where I read it; probably TIME magazine. As Wendy says, we need an age-out req'ment. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ken, Do you actually think what Biden did is in the same time zone as what Trump is doing? Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, This far more serious than some incoherent speech. The speech is entertaining & does show his thinking [ or lack thereof ] process. Go back 10-15 yrs, who would have thought someone so stupid, so thin-skinned, etc, would be our President. Maybe Comey is on to something -> 86 47 Jerry Baumchen

Hi Bill, The real takeaway is that he is dumber than a doorknob. But, we all knew that. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Nigel, That one is my all-time favorite. What a f***ing idiot. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, You were saying: On X, Randy, who identifies as a "Former democrat now only vote for REAL Republicans," wrote, "We all know how amy coney barrett going to be voting. She will be officially joining the libtard team at the SCOTUS. Wonder which path roberts going to take." Ratso, whose X account is littered with attacks on Muslims, agreed and wrote, "There is nothing worse than a traitor among us. Americans hate them with every fiber of their being. Justices Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts are such people." Now, if we all could just be a little more open-minded. NOT!

Hi Keith, Here in Oregon, there is a political party named the Independent Party. I am not a member. Here, I am a Non-Affiliated voter. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, Looking back on 61 yrs of voting, I think the only 'good' choice I had was in 2008 & 2012; I voted for Obama. I still really like him. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, That reminds of when Bush 41 saw a scanner at the check-out counter & did not know what it was. Some folks really need to get out & really see the world. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Mark, George Foreman had 12 children — five sons and seven daughters. His five sons are George Jr.; George III ("Monk"); George IV ("Big Wheel"); George V ("Red"); and George VI ("Little Joey"). Jerry Baumchen

Hi Keith, My Pie-in-the-Sky is that we get rid of ALL political parties. Everyone would run on their own name & what they stand for/against. I know, never gonna happen. Hey, one can dream can't they? Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, ^^^^^ This; and, nothing but this. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Keith, Thanks for the website. It did not look like any of them on it were over 70. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Nigel, Well, this seems to be real news: Mexican security chief confirms cartel family members entered US in a deal with Trump administration And, it sure as hell is not The Onion. Jerry Baumchen
-
Hi folks, Slowly, but surely, the truth emerges: Biden's family and closest advisers seemed to operate in a "fog of delusion and denial." Book claims to outline Biden’s cognitive decline, staff coverup : NPR IMO this type of stuff supports Wendy's assertion that politicos should call it quits at 70; which I agree with. Jerry Baumchen PS) IMO it is too bad; because I think that Joe Biden is a quite nice guy. It comes with old age.

Hi John, IMO not 'playing dead' as in they are the walking dead. A perfect case is Sen. Ron Wyden, [D] Oregon. He was a young, very energetic US Congressman; but, he would never gamble on a US Senate run. Until it became a sure opportunity. I have always supported him & worked on his first run for the US Senate. However, today all he is, is the same old tired stump speech. IMO he knows that the young sharks are after him. He is now running scared; as he should be. It is time for him to go; along with Schumer, Murray, etc. Jerry Baumchen
