You sound a lot angrier than me. All i am saying in a calm manner is that he failed and will fail again. Lets even see if he survives 4 years as president as im not sure he will But that's merely speculating at this point. None of us know what he intends to do. Its not like the current administration in america hasnt done some strange things either. Im juat merely saying we survived four years with him before and we probably will again. Its not armagendden like alot of these posts on this forum. It wont be great but its not great now is it? A world war is very close under bidens watch right now so we can't exactly say we are safe at the moment either. Its lose lose - what a mess Yes that's my point. I've seen you get very worked up over things yet you seem incredibly calm about Trump trying to end democracy. It's odd. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems like a very shit attempt when you spray 8 shots and miss the guy you are aiming at yet hit everyone around him. Would like to know how likely that outcome is from the situation, maybe a 1% chance that he misses Trump completely? Everything I read last night before crashing said the shots were taking from about 500 feet away. Have yet to read any news this so morning so this info may have changed overnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the thing: with the damned Electoral College he can win without getting the majority of the votes. He already did it once Same with Bush in 2000. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be four horrible chaotic years and then the Democrats will spend 8 trying to set it right again. This is against a man who refused to accept the last presidential election and who encouraged an insurrection. And now has a alt-right supreme court to go along with what he wants to do. If he wins all bets are off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And his people are already quite publicly planning how to contest this coming election should he lose https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/13/us/politics/republican-election-campaign-2024.html?unlocked_article_code=1.7E0.bRMp.ZZ1MLxVHYzVz&smid=url-share Quote The Republican Party and its conservative allies are engaged in an unprecedented legal campaign targeting the American voting system. Their wide-ranging and methodical effort is laying the groundwork to contest an election that they argue, falsely, is already being rigged against former President Donald J. Trump. The campaign involves a powerful network of Republican lawyers and activist groups, working loosely in concert with the Republican National Committee. Many of the key players were active in Mr. Trump’s attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election. But unlike the chaotic and improvised challenge four years ago, the new drive includes a systematic search for any vulnerability in the nation’s patchwork election system. Mr. Trump’s allies have followed a two-pronged approach: restricting voting for partisan advantage ahead of Election Day and short-circuiting the process of ratifying the winner afterward, if Mr. Trump loses. The latter strategy involves an ambitious — and legally dubious — attempt to reimagine decades of settled law dictating how results are officially certified in the weeks before the transfer of power. At the heart of the strategy is a drive to convince voters that the election is about to be stolen, even without evidence. Democrats use mail voting, drop boxes and voter registration drives to swing elections, they have argued. And Mr. Trump’s indictments and criminal conviction are a Biden administration gambit to interfere with the election, they claim. “As things stand right now, there’s zero chance of a free and fair election,” Mike Howell, a project director at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, said at an event this week. “I’m formally accusing the Biden administration of creating the conditions that most reasonable policymakers and officials cannot in good conscience certify an election.” The legal campaign, which has come into focus as Republicans prepare to nominate Mr. Trump at their convention next week, has been quietly playing out in courts, statehouses and county boards for months, and is concentrated in critical battlegrounds.

He also managed Bob Weir (of Grateful Dead), which lead to Hanson joining Weir onstage a few times over the years. Not with GD, of course, the other guys who never have stood for that Weir, on the other hand, has no shame Edited July 14 by Nor-Cal Villan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
