just because top leadership comes out and says we support harris,trump or jesus dont really mean much, would you vote for someone just because your boss says so, well i guess some of you wimpy sheep would but most are still gonna vote for who they want to. Of course they will vote as they're told to do. They will all fall in line for the Party. A chief distinction between them and the right. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. . . . Power is not a means; it is an end . . . not power over things, but over men. 40% of Union membership have historically voted Republican. I'm pretty sure that number was higher in 16. 20 not so much.

Money has always bought the Presidency. You need money to compete these days. You didn't have an issue with the Presidency being bought when Trump was bragging about the millions his campaign raked in after the conviction or when it was reported Musk was donating $45 million a month. It didn't get Jeb there........ Not that I would have supported him but Jeb probably should have sat a cycle or two out.

Sounds like money can buy happiness... and a presidency... if you believe these pages. I have always been happy.. Well the last few years with my ex wife and the divorce were iffy.... But in general... I am as happy now as I have ever been...Whomever was in the whitehouse.... Has never affected my happiness, ability to earn or buying power.... I voted for Trump in 2016..... Only because I thought it would be entertaining if he won... It was...It was also entertaining when he lost...... Then it got pathetic and a little sad....
I really do not care who is in the whitehouse.... Because it has never affected me... Other than causing me to make adjustments.... Frankly it affects very few people.... But people like to get worked up over it....
Frankly... My Dream Campaign would be Larry the Cable Guy versus RuPaul.... Can you imagine the entertainment? I can....

Doesn't really effect me in those regards, but I think a person would prefer one party/direction . And should vote for what they think is best for the Country.

Those Harris kneepads are going to be a big seller. If she gets that Hawk Tuah girl on the campaign trail we could be in trouble.

Right now.... the House is completely broken.... Technically the R's have control... But they do not... because of infighting and lack of unity.... A small number of crazy folks (they are entertaining) are keeping the R's from getting things done....And Doogy Howser is speaker...
The Senate is extremely marginally better..... But we have Schumer and McConnell as party leaders... They should follow Biden's lead... and step down and fade away....
If we had a functioning congress... Which we do not.... It would not matter who was in the whitehouse.....

I dunno. I think the President has power over a lot of things, at least to a certain extent. Just look at the border issue.

How did that work out?

" But Harris did not keep the $6,000 from Trump. A spokesperson told the Sacramento Bee in 2020 that she donated the money to a "nonprofit that advocates for civil and human rights for Central Americans" in 2015, by which point she had been reelected and was launching her bid for the Senate. " Didn't know you could use campaign contributions for that . But I doubt she endorsed and handed any Trump checks over to them. She may have shifted or just donated funds to the non-profit but could probably claim they came from anyone. Of course this is just a spokesperson's saying this. Where's the publicly available documents ?

And the darn spokesperson should have a name. You ain't nobody's spokesperson if you ain't got a name. Not that I care anything about the money.
