I find it infuriating that some decrepit Australian Mr Burns or his creepy son gets so much influence in the choice for Republicans for Trump or DeSantis so it must be way worse for Americans, Or that Fox News move everyone to the right to compete with some other stations but now they have killed them feel ok to move from far right to hard right or whatever.
Succession isn't exactly the Murdoch's because the premise of the show is that the patriarch was self made (Murdoch wasn't) but that episode in the last season where the rich guys were choosing the candidate should make people think...
Make America Great Again, Again!!
Looks like it's actually "...make America great and glorious again..."Quote:

I don’t think Faux has the influence it once had. Two years is an eternity in politics. We all knew Trump was running. No surprise there. Two years is very early to announce but it will motivate his opposition to find something to arrest him on so he can’t run. As far as I know DeSantis has not made any kind of indication he’s running for president. I find the whole thing odd. Could be Trump and DeSantis are playing a game to see who in the Republican Party are loyal to Trump. If those two got together they could start their own party. Why stay in a party that is against you? Anyways interesting dynamics at play here.Quote:

Trump and DeSantis will run together. DeSantis will be VP for 4, then President for 8. Making and KEEPING America great again, this time.Quote:

Wouldn't be the first Republican to lie about where he lived to run for office. Chimp & Cheney were both living in Texas in 2000, but the DICK put some old Wyoming address on the paperwork. Of course that was just BCE tradition.... Poppy called himself a Texas resident for years while actually living in Kennebunkport Maine.Quote:

Far as Trump being indicted - much less convicted - for anything, I'll believe it if it happens: anytime anything seems to be headed Trump's way, it gets inevitably gets bogged down in lawyers and there's never a moment of reckoning.
DeSantis easily won re-election, but he had a weak opponent whom (full disclosure) I voted for. I can't really say how DeSantis is playing outside of my state, but DeSantis is in lockstep with the ideological concerns of many Trump voters. Although charisma-free, that could be a plus, in that DeSantis is also comparatively drama-free when contrasted with Trump.
Who knows? All I can say for certain is the Trump voters I know had zip to say today one way or another re: Trump's 2024 announcement. Could be that Trump's act is getting tired and not necessarily packing the punch it once had. The candidates he backed/endorsed for 2022 didn't fare well at the polls, so much for the Midas Touch.
The economy is in a downward plunge. It’s going to be the main issue of the 2024 election and hopefully we avoid a world war by then. Lot’s of stuff in play right now because the world doesn’t have good leadership anywhere. When you have rampant corruption and no accountability it has a negative impact on everything. Everyone is going to be looking for the savior on the white horse.Quote:

Shit. Fucking with DeSantis is bait. It gets attention. Trump will never go away because the public and media fall for his publicity tricks over and over. At least he isn’t trying to sell sheets and pillows every time a camera is on him.
But if it wasn’t for Trump. What would those hags on The View have to squak about?
I will give Trump credit though. Usually the ugly showbiz people go into politics. Ugly Trump made it in television before he ever got into politics. But we really are a nation of retards. We will vote for someone just because they are a celebrity. Oh yeah. Let’s vote in Arnold Swarzeneggar for governor. Let’s make the “You’re Fired!” Apprentice guy president. Ha! Ha!
There pretty clearly was some mutual hatred starting in 2018 and they hate each other more than ever...Quote:

We might well have a recession but it's mainly gonna be a self-fulfilling prophecy...Quote:

Whatever dude. Where did you get your MBA in finance from? I worked in investment banking for 15 years after I got my MBA. You must be smarter than my former co-workers at Goldman Sachs and Allen & Co.

The core of the GOP doesn't want to fuel energizing the Dems with the anything but Trump sentiment. It would be disastrously stupid to do so with a far better field of strong candidates willing to run.

The overreaction to Covid with senseless lockdowns and other bad miscues and environmental nightmares is leading their economy to be "rotting from the fish's head". It's both concerning yet reassuring. They can fuck the world economy but they also won't be taking over everything anytime soon..
That's kind of like saying 'back when I worked on the Death Star'. :)Quote:

Love the side-by-side images - some of the originals don't even have the watermarks fully erased.
