I think they should all be paid like teachers and have the same perks.....it's not about money for those guys...if they didn't have it they couldn't campaign to begin with...it's about power and influence and what it buys after the job that seems to be the goalpost.

Teachers should also be paid far better.

Yes, for the vast majority of leadership we get now those are absolutely the goals. There is no other reason to do it.

We'd be far better off to give good, smart people more incentive to serve us. As it is, they are far better off becoming an investment banker or getting into tech... Far better reward without having to compromise as much on your morals.

Who has classified documents at their residence?
 
Classified records pose conundrum stretching back to Carter

Kidding aside, after the whole Hillary email server debacle the above article is about what I expected for the true handling of these docs by members of our government. It's basically the honor system. If nothing was compromised and it was an accident then nothing will come of it. Biden is fine since he's president of course, and Pence will get a pass. Trump's actions still seem nefarious and that investigation should only increase. Doubt anything will happen from it though.

If anything, there needs to be new protocols on the returning of confidential documents at the end of a president/vice president's term. How and when they are returned. Where and where not such documents are allowed to be taken.


It looks like for Biden and Pence papers just got mixed up, but that's still very irresponsible. If a crime is found it should be handled as such.

Trump committed a crime and his case should be handled as such.
 
"The way Joe Biden used extreme MAGA Republicans against the rest of Republicans to force them ALL to agree with him was one of the slickest political slights of hand I've EVER seen. This is a masterclass," tweeted lawyer Exavier Pope.

...

Grant Stern, executive editor of political organization Occupy Democrats, wrote: "Dark Brandon gets Republicans to cheerily promise not to cut Social Security and Medicare live during the #SOTU speech!"

...

Praise for Biden was not confined to Democrats, with former President Donald Trump offering an unusually positive assessment of the speech on his Truth Social platform despite earlier criticizing Biden's address.

"Look, he worked hard tonight ... you've got to give him credit for trying," Trump wrote. "I disagree with him on most of his policies, but he put into words what he felt, and he ended up the evening far stronger than he began."

"Give him credit for that," the former president continued. "Many things weren't mentioned that should have been, but that's for another time."
 
I just don't see how he can run at 82 in 2024?
He doesn't need this shit he should retire and enjoy his family. Its a job for a young experienced person, in my mind.

Right? Why run that old? Same for Trump? Retire, enjoy the time you have left. Why are so many politicians bent on dying of old age in office.
 
Sarah Huckabee Sanders actually said it's a choice not between right and left but between normal and crazy.

Her definition of normal includes Trump, George Santos, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Paul Gosar who spoke at a literal Nazi rally, white supremacist Nick Fuentes, Hitler admirer Kanye West, and Alex Jones.

And freedom, which she repeated about 400 times, means freedom to ban books, outlaw being trans, force pregnancy and end marriage equality.
 
Biden lies to us as often as Trump did. Anyone who believes a word Biden says, is as big of a fool as anyone who believes a word Trump says. Period.
 
I'm sure Biden doesn't alway speak the whole truth and like most all politicians, he sometimes speaks in half-truths in order to make a point (see the SOTU address in the link below), but to try to somehow draw a parallel of honesty between Biden to Trump, is way off the mark...apples and oranges

Exactly. Ratt posts a ton of generalities but ask for specifics, silence. I am not in love with Biden, he was maybe my 6th choice, but he is fundamentally a decent person. Comparing him to Trump isn't apples and oranges, more like apples a bit mushy and toxic waste.
 
So, I should believe people who have shoved their heads that far up Biden's ass...

Not likely. Neither a Trump supporter nor a Biden supporter care how fucking corrupt their candidate is.

As biased as they are, Why should I even listen to a word either of their supporters say?
 
So @Road Ratt, if someone asks you to justify your own statements, we have our heads up Biden's ass and you need not listen to us.

If you can't back up what you say, why should anyone listen to you?
 
Biden’s Populist Speech Can’t Cover Up Capitalist Crisis

https://popularresistance.org/bidens-populist-speech-cant-cover-up-capitalist-crisis/

The president’s approval ratings have dropped in recent months, hovering at 42 percent — one of the lowest ratings for a president entering his third year in office — after recovering slightly from a sizable dip over the summer. A poll released a day before the SOTU speech showed that just 37 percent of Democrats support a second term for Biden. And while inflation may have cooled over the last six months according to certain metrics, it is still high, the Fed is still raising interest rates, and nearly all economists agree that an even more rocky economy lies ahead. To control inflation, the government must make sure that workers’ wages don’t go up — meaning that in the past year, the wages of the entire working class have been devalued at a rate not seen in 40 years. A whopping 59 percent of Americans disapprove of Biden’s economic direction.

The truth of the matter is, Biden lied to us in his speech. America is in way worse shape than this lying piece of shit will ever admit.
 
Still waiting for @Road Ratt to give a specific example of lies in SOTU. Asking for the third time. Gotten insults and repetition.

If you can't back up what you say, I have no reason to consider it credible.
 
Biden is not nearly as bad as Trump.

Biden is still steering the wrong way.

But Trump was rigging it with C4.

Same here, Joe is/was never "my guy" so when I voted for him it was not so much a vote for Biden, but instead as I saw it, a vote against Trump.

Trump lied over 30,000 times while in office.

Biden lied in the dozens by his first year. If he keeps it up, he may break 100 lies by his 4th year.

If you’re not able to determine the difference, then I don’t know what to tell ya. Biden and Trump are about as different as humanly possible.
