l'm pretty sure its in this Michael Moore doco that the tesla plant bragged about being run by renewables to be shown that the plant was still connected to the grid and run off the grid
its a real b@st@rd when they start eating there own kind LOL

The USA is the world leader, period. Sure there needs to be focus upon domestic issues, but the really big game needs to be played more on the world stage. It all takes energy and just as a transmission apportions traction to the front or rear right now it looks like the ratio is all wrong in favour of the domestic side. It must be very hard to focus upon foreign policy when everyone is ankle snapping back home about gender and silliness, and intelligent adults should surely realise that this is the time to elect an intelligent adult who behaves accordingly.
Priorities for my vote, if I had that honour would be:
1. Unify the nation to disempower the silly extremists on either side.
2. Enact domestic policies to strengthen the nation in the short to medium term; you can't build big dreams when you are broke and broken.
3. Enact foreign policy to nip expansionism in the bud with a stick and carrot approach in equal measure. There is nothing more valuable than a soverign world nation that benefits you and is afraid to hurt you, even if they don't like you.

Zuckerberg realised that FB is just one I from FBI and decided I better come clean.

Another one that suffers from MSM indoctrination and limited vision.

First time I've ever been accused of that BUT you're missing the point ENTIRELY.

If even I, who considers himself pretty savvy when it comes MSM, think this way then I would say that at least 50% of the right think this way. So there goes a huge chunk of the Republican vote. Please by all means put Trump up again, whether you think I'm right or wrong the Dems will remain in power.

We have to face the fact the Trump had great policies and was one of the very few that put America above party politics but he is simply unpalatable to the vast majority of voters. We live in a world where people vote personality over policy. You and I may not like it but that's the simple truth.

Don't go down the same path where your love for the man kills any chance of getting Dems out. How many voted for the Dems purely to not vote for Trump? What you perceive as limited vision I perceive as the only way to achieve goal number one: Get the Dems out!

Are you willing to risk the Dems destroying America for a further 4 more years because you love Trump so much....................??

I agree!
Many people hate Trump in the same way a lot of us hate Hillary Clinton.
The undecided "middle of the road" voters decide elections. A candidate must be palatable to those middle people to get their votes and be elected.

A question or two I have asked myself and I think everyone should asked themselves too...

If ( and this is a huuuuuge "if") the Dems were running the country well and not corrupting the youth etc etc and were doing a good job, would you vote Republican because you identify as a Republican?
If you would vote Republican in this scenario then you're part of the problem as you put party above policy/country. That's called party politics.

Would you vote for / against an individual because of who he is but he has sound policies and doing a good job? If you would then that is identity politics and you're part of the problem.
We rightly blame those that voted against Trump because of identity and not on policy. But the flip side of that coin is elevating one candidate because of his personality which MIGHT / PROBABLY cost an election when there is an equally good candidate that would slam dunk that election (De Santis et al).

It should always always always be country first and party/personality second no matter who is in power. If the country is being run well and sound policies are adopted etc then who cares who is in charge.

I somewhat agree with you. However, on key issues the democrats vote as a block regardless of their personal beliefs. So regardless of how good you think am individual democrat is, when it comes to important matters, party leadership tells them how to vote, negating any value in the individual representative.

 

[Zambezi]

Agreed. I was posing a hypothetical. We know the Dems are lead by the nose ring.

In the upcoming election it will be the undecided middle and a few Dems that are not nutters that will swing it. Why jeopardise with an unpalatable Rep candidate.

 

[wesheltonj]

There will not be the COVID ballot harvesting in 24 and other BS. That’s how Biden won. In a reasonably fair race Trump will win.

Chris Pratt is on our side - stays publicly apolitical and vocally Christian.

That's just a goofy face Pratt made when he was in the show "Parks and Recreation." If you've never seen it, I highly recommend that you download a few seasons to your tablet and watch them on your way to Tambo and back.

Nick Offerman does a terrific job of acting like a curmudgeonly libertarian. IRL, he's pretty lefty. A testament to his dedication to his art. He leaves his personal politics out of the show.
