    Gates, Patraeus, Milley, Mattis, McCaffrey, Kelly...you discount them all, all of them career, distinguished leaders, all lifelong republicans, all normally stoic and reserved, all telling you essentially the same thing in their own emphatic words..

    how do you reconcile that overwhelming message from such credible people with your reality where none of them could be correct because if one was, they all would be?
    '
    Same for election denialism. republicans doing the counting told you it was real and it was valid. 1 - 65 in court cases. MAGA leader djt demands you agree that it was stolen, facts be damned.

    Contra, just another brilliant post. Thanks for taking the time to compose that response.

    Read very carefully. I said I wasn’t familiar with most on the list. I’m more of a Gator sports fan than someone who is an expert on politics. So you’ve made a good point. But why do you keep avoiding my comment that 92% of Kamala’s staff was fired and or resigned?

    My point is correct that the evidence has to be considered official business.

    But, yes, the corrupt Supreme Court wrote it in a way to give Trump's lawyers every possible loop-hole to make sure he is not held accountable for his criminal activities.

    Because approximately half of them didn't publicly call her "unfit for office", a "child", a "******g idiot", or something similar.

    Joseph, to that point I would counter with this. Biden has been a career politician of 50 years plus. He has built a staff of close friends and confidants over the years. People that he knows well and trusts and many who have spent years in government. Harris was a DA, Attorney General of California and a senator. I think most fair minded people would think that she had been in politics long enough to form a staff of her closest confidants familiar with her management style.

    Trump on the other hand was a builder, developer and business man with no experience in politics. I’ve got to believe it is a huge task to put together a governmental staff for someone with no previous experience in it. How many of these people that he fired were longtime Swamp creatures. Like I said before, I don’t know. But again, I don’t see Trump making the same mistakes again. But I’m sure that he will find people that will jump at the chance to join his cabinet. Many were on his VP short list.

    Source?
    Do you want me to provide you the bios of those names? Even a casual political observer should know those names so feels like trolling. Dismiss them and claim willful ignorance?

    Good lord, am I going to have to ignore you like I do Gatorjo? Answer my question about Harris having 92% turnover all the while being a lifelong politician. Of course before she hung around with Montell Williams. Maybe you would like to explain that to me too?

    That's a whole lot of words.

    So you're throwing your support behind the twice-impeached, convicted felon, adjudicated sexual assaulter, admitted sexual assaulter, serial adulterer who got election help from Russia, and who enacted a criminal conspiracy to overturn an election?

    Good to know. Bizarrely, that is an option in today's America.

    And in this thread dating a celebrity long ago is very very bad.

    But I bet if we asked, we could get a 2,000 word post extolling the virtues of hosting a crappy TV reality show. And banging porn stars while Wife #3 is home with the newborn.

    I would never block you. I’m just waiting for you to answer my question and apparently you have no answer. Take your time. I’m going to bed. Have an early tee time tomorrow morning.

    And also......

    Ironic.

    Gaslighting with a pleasant tone is still just gaslighting.

    If I am hearing your correctly, Trump will “fix” his “mistakes” by hiring those who “yes” Trump, rather than those who are well-regarded as the premier leaders in their fields? And this is from the same Party that loathes DEI, because they demand meritocracy (save the nepotism and cronyism exceptions).

    Is that what you really want? As for me, I’d want someone to provide solid, fact-based, experiential-based counsel, regardless of whether it is what I want to hear.

    You're responding to a guy that excuses Trump's grotesque hiring record by invoking the term "swamp creatures."

    At this point, it would be interesting to see whether there are more former Trump officials who would still support him, versus who have appeared on Dancing with the Stars.

    Under Trump’s economic policies the marginal folks were beginning to gain abundance and now the middle class is struggling to gain abundance. Discretionary spending for the lower middle class is basically over especially for the marginalized consumer.

    I think Trump is clearly the better choice. I look at the issues, and really I don't even think Kamala knows the issues. She just knows woke.

    Trump thinks the issues are low flow shower heads, stoves, sharks vs. electrocution and Hannibal Lecter. His brain is mush.
