    Nothing Democrats do, or have done, is any worse than the lies & exaggerations you use in your post to denigrate those you disagree with. I can see why you support Trump. The two of you have much in common from a behavioral perspective. :(

    Don't take it so personal. If you don't have good counterpoints to disprove what I said then you should do more research. :dual:

    Being one who was at the "Bay of Pigs" I couldn't agree more.

    I would start calling him "pandering Joe". Already his lying donkey ass is pandering with his apology for Anita Hill. He needs to call AOC and get his next marching order.

    A lot of people will lose their jobs to Robotics and AI, but, twice as many jobs will be created. The difference is that people will have to be retrained in different professions. Many college degrees will make good toilet paper, so, if one doesn't want to be left behind they need to find out what are going to be the next hot fields of employment. All this feel good and "everyone's a winner" education will not work in a real competitive job market. Those who didn't get a education or thought it wasn't important will be left behind. There will always be those who will be willing to work the trades and succeed if they work hard. The economy will always need lower skilled workers, but, many of those jobs will disappear.

    Hello, I never knew JFK. He died many years before I was born. I don't know if a candidate from another era should be the model of the president today.

    Could be Andrew Wang
    if he can just get noticed.
    And be fawned over by Hollywood as JFK was.

    At this moment the media is choosing for us
    and seems to be supporting Biden, even before
    Biden announced!

    If Ike could be resurrected from the dead just as he was, I'd vote for him in a heartbeat. Hands down.

    Your post gives me hope that there are candidates who might actually find a way to bridge the growing gap between both sides of the aisle. :) I hope.

    Hey Moi, I know that Yang spent time doing a lot of work trying to get recognized. He's done interviews, speeches, and what have you. And yet most people have never heard of him.

    Yang is hoping to explode in popularity before the big debates. But I can easily see him losing that if he doesn't join the stage with some of the more popular candidates. He could end up on a day that is boring and no one watches him.

    I'm somewhat surprised to see the media concentrating on candidates that are already active politicians--and male ones at that--rather than covering the entire field of candidates to give us a better choice. They are treating Marianna Williamson the same way as Yang. That's not only unfair, it's narrowing the choices for everyone.

    The Kennedy boys [including Robert] were horny dudes. That kind of immoral behavior wasn't confronted in those days.

    Buggered if I want a JFK (et al) incarnate as POTUS. In another Thread I posed the question.....what President do you reckon was a good bloke?

    Most mentioned Carter. A bad bloke (a prick with no regard for personal integrity and morals) is never capable of being a good Leader.

    Your system ensures that (despite the propaganda) no 'common man' can ever become POTUS. They must either come from wealth or at least some wealth and political heritage. Australia can toss up just about anyone to be PM who has been in the system long enough to bubble to the top despite no great wealth and zero political ancestry.

    JFK would never be elected in the #MeToo era.

    No it was a legitimate investigation and the fact the FBI hierarchy did not pursue it is deeply suspicious. Meuller cleared Trump of all collusion and the American people seem set to re-elect him.

    Tribalism no longer exists in either of the areas thanks to the malign influence of colonialists.

    Please elaborate on your imaginary "twice as many jobs will be created" allegation.

    How many robot polishers do you imagine will be needed?

    Will AI need therapists?

    What are these imaginary jobs of yours?

    Every POTUS should have leaderships skills like vision, communication and motivation which is what JFK had in abundance.

    It is unfortunate that those skills rarely appear amongst politicians who strive for the Oval office.

    Yang is currently a grass roots candidate.

    If the media does notice him I expect that will change just like it did with the mayor from ND.

    Ike was one of our smartest presidents without any doubt. He also only took the job because it was handed to him. He did not seek it out himself.
