    Doesn’t it? Nobody is 100% at 80 years old. Also they won’t have to live with their decisions.

      Nikki Haley was (hopefully) right, that the first party to replace their old white guy would win

        Honestly I was worried Trump would nominate Haley, given the way CNN and MSNBC keep trying to paint her as the “reasonable, moderate republican”.

        We dodged a bullet when Trump’s campaign started shitting the bed, but Kamala keeps trying to run back to the cold, dead embrace of the Biden campaign that brought him to 37% approval rating.

        Well he’d be a billionaire leading the American empire, so imperialism, but more competent, kinda like Obama.

          • Trimp isn’t a billionaire
          • America isn’t an empire
          • Imperialism, yeah probably, fair enough
          • Trimp is not competent
          • If you compared Trimp to Obama directly he would cry and try to have you arrested

            Trimp isn’t a billionaire

            He probably is, but in any case, he’d both the representative of capital and a member of the capitalist class.

            America isn’t an empire

            Sure, we just have 800 military bases across the world and unequal trade with so many poor countries by chance.

            Trimp is not competent

            No shit. But Trump at 100% would be a more competent evil.

            If you compared Trimp to Obama directly he would cry and try to have you arrested

            Of course. Trump wishes he could bomb >10 African and Middle Eastern countries, do a bloody coup in Honduras, send the national guard in to put down protests after police murdered another unarmed black person, bail out the banks that just halved black wealth, deport 3 million immigrants, and still be remembered fondly by libs.

          That “kinda” is bearing a load the size of the Earth. It’s a galaxy of presumptions rolled up into five letters. If it had a name, it would be “Atlas”.

      Yeah but like, on the list of things that should disqualify him his age is somewhere in the 200s.
