    Maybe we just give up on your vote.

    You will if you count on me to vote for the likes of HC. It cost you the last election, and it will likely cost you this one. But, we'll see.

    Fortunately JL yours was not the only vote cast, and the dufus victory was not at all that overwhelming it cannot be overcome. Especially after 3 or 4 years of his antics.

    Don't forget - Dufus lost the popular vote by almost three million votes.

    And that was back when voters thought electing a canny and successful businessman would "drain the swamp" of greedy political insiders.

    2nd day of shutting down the airports in Hong Kong and the cops are cracking down. Stock markets in US going up after the dufus says he will ease sanctions on some Chinese products, the day after the markets plunged after another dufus tweet. Ya' think he should shaddup, or is this manipulation?

    Epstein still dead and his stuff is getting seized, and Barr says heads will roll over this.

    I estimate that the Reds will need to send in 100,000 troops and do some Stalingrad door to door if they think they can subdue the protestor . This is not wide open
    Tiananmen Square .

    Trump's words are uninspiring . Clearly he is being coached by his swamp critter advisors to not aggravate Xi . Too late .Xi has already made us his enemy . It is time for the US to stand with those in Hong Kong who demand liberty and freedom.

    So you advocate US troops on the ground in a face off with the PRA

    No troops but the dufus could be hitting not just China but his BFF Kim, Vlad, and a few others with human rights rhetoric, but then he would be a hypocrite since he doesn't speak for freedom and liberty anywhere.

    So you think emboldening people to rebel is the way to go, when in fact, lifting your sanctions and not stuffing with the world economy would do so much more. You keep forgetting Hong Kong is part of China so what you have is a case of civil disobedience

    Why should? Like Xi and Kim, Vlad is his buddy who he needs to get re elected. Proves he can keep his mouth shut when he wants to.

    I think in large part the dufus didn't want the Chinese to get ahead of us, and maybe the Russians were seeing the same thing too. That treaty was so outdated it wasn't really worth the paper it was written on, but the fallout is another arms race so back to the good old days except now everybody and his mama has a nuke and missiles to put them on.

    Vlad downplays his latest Chernobyl event though, and bet he's scrambling for a cover story. I heard they canceled the evacuation, and going with iodine pills. These are the worlds super powers folks acting like the 3 stooges.

    I think he would do better with a solid plan instead of his helter skelter gut impulse. I thought he was going to surround himself with the best and brightest minds, instead of yes men brown nosers and parrot sycophants.

    I expect you have to take what is available and appointing people of opposing views gets you nowhere

    If he weren't such a nasty control freak he might just get some good competent people. What reasonable person would want to work for him since what he wants is just some yes men, brown nosers, and parrot sycophants in the first place.
