    He's signed spending bills. Not actually any bills that actually change anything. He's only got 51 votes in the Senate. That's all the incompetent moron can manage. Big whoop. Ain't done squat that I can see. And inflation is only accelerating. When does his magic spending solution kick in? 2027? And I haven't seen anything happen with my drugs.

    No, inflation and drug costs aren't good. Only an idiot would believe that and only a bigger idiot would think anyone serious would say that.

    Being a bully is not strength though.

    I mean elected by the electors (the people don't vote for President).

    Trump is a proper noun. Proper nouns are capitalized, no matter how much the media has brainwashed you to hate the man.

    "The people" don't vote for President. Electors do, as a result of elections that select those electors. Trump won the 2016 election.

    No he hasn't (see above). Additionally, there was no 2020 election (it faulted due to election fraud). Biden was selected, not elected.

    Trump was elected by the electors. Trump is not a fascist. You seem to be unaware of what fascism even is.

    Biden was not elected. He was selected, as the electors in several states were never chosen due to election fraud.

    You're welcome.

    I would like a leader, elected or not, that steered the Titanic around the iceberg. If he/she was weak, elected and hit the iceberg, what a load of crap they were.

    Life is not sunshine and rainbows, but we seem to be overwhelmed with snowflakes.

    I know the will of the people doesn’t mean a whole lot to those that cannot win that will because their ideals are so distasteful they have to lie and manipulate the system to force it on others.

    Again, your honesty is refreshing

    Leaders are full of crap.

    Followers are morons.

    Economists can't talk about planned obsolescence in automobiles half a century after the Moon landing but we are supposed to solve the global warming problem? LOL

    I gather that elected means democracy. Would selected by a group of experts still count as elected? Or does elected only count if it's your version of democracy?

    I'm not at all sure what strong and weak means in this context. Effective? Unconstrained by countervailing forces? Has conviction and pretends to be strong?

    I know the constitution of the United States doesn't mean a whole lot to people like you, but it is a big part of what made the USA great.

    At this point, things are so utterly desperate, we need a strong, intelligent, America-loving LEADER, no matter what his pedigree. If we can actually find such a person to elect, then so much the better. If not, then we will have to take what we can get!

    If I'm right, we may be in the fight of our lives before too much longer. If anyone doubts it, take a good, honest, objective look at the kind of inept, half-witted, politically-driven, 'woke' **** we have running both the White House and Congress right now! We haven't had an intelligent, capable president since Bill Clinton -- and, NO, I wasn't particularly a fan of Bill Clinton! But even he was an order of magnitude more intelligent and capable than Idiot "W" Bush, Idiot "Messiah" Obama, Donald Trump, or this distracted, brain-dead moron we have littering the White House today!

    I had to think about the poll for a few moments..... but I finally went with "Weak elected leader - I lean conservative" because I would love to see the supposedly fairly elected Biden impeached and / or indicted and see President Trump back even if BigMedia has a total meltdown!

    Trump for all of his many flaws is actually far, far, far, far, far more LIBERTARIAN than Biden... who is actually ruling with an iron fist.... in comparison to Trump. So I could say that Biden is "stronger" in terms of being so arbitrary and dogmatic in his leadership style. Biden only listens to whoever passes him the script he reads..... but Biden listens to nobody else and will not even answer questions by the media.... who he has total contempt for.

    Biden also seems to have total contempt for the genuine wishes of the American people who want him to visit the Texas - Mexico border..... but rest assured that Iron Fisted Biden WILL NOT visit the border!

    All that exists now are 47 individual States, 3 oligarchies (this includes Washington DC), and a dictatorship.

    Trump is an evil man who only cares about himself, and enriching his family at the expensae of taxpayers. I have 0 respect for him, and very little for those who continue to support him despist all the evidence of his criminal actions.

    Our Constitution is THE greatest document EVER written by man for men.

    So, first of all OUR President must be elected in accordance with OUR Constitution. Then, "I"/we can only hope that he is a humble honest man dedicated to his oath of office. That will enlist and appoint good honest people to help and advise him. And THEN do his best for ALL AmeriCAN's.

    Washington DC is now an oligarchy.
    New York is now an oligarchy.
    South Carolina (I'm surprised too) is now an oligarchy.
    California is now a dictatorship.

    Who are the Oligarchs/Dictator? I think, if you'll check, D.C. has a duly elected Mayor. And, all of those States have duly elected Governors.

    In California, Gavin Newsom is the current dictator. In Washington DC, the Biden Regime are the oligarchs. In New York and South Carolina, the state governments as a whole are the oligarchs.

    Those areas listed are no longer following their own state constitutions or even the federal constitution.

    Here in Wisconsin, we are thankfully still a republic, although Governor Evers got a bit tyrannical during the COVID nonsense (hence my new name for him: 'Tyrant Tony'). Our State Supreme Court eventually told him to follow our State Statutes, and since then he has returned back to following them.
