The only reason that Gabbard & RFK endorsed Trump, was to give the big middle finger to the Democrats for how they were treated for not toeing the party line.
Reread what I said. I am voting for every Republican down ticket.I think your comment was aimed at me albeit backhanded... But, that's okay...LOL.. I have yet to hear arguments from anyone here on this forum to date who is so intelligent and well-informed that is qualified to deem anyone else's comments stupid...
I don't believe I have ever made a derogatory comment about anyone here for making an emotional decision, but I certainly have questioned their purpose and even pointed out their hypocrisy... Nobody gets the right to bitch and complain unless they are active participants in the process...
I would never question your honor or morality... I sincerely believe both have been well-established...
However, you have stated to me directly in past exchanges that if Trump was the republican nominee for 2024, you would not vote for either candidate. I called you a hypocrite for it for the exact reason I stated above...
If you mind has since changed, I am glad to hear it... But you need to own it because you did indeed say it...

I suspect that they are rightly concerned that if Trump is election that exactly what you happen. I suspect that both of those two companies have excess "Market Power" and are ripe for breakup. Facebook would be an easy break up. Google would be harder, but You Tube would be an easy spin-off.Zuckerberg is concerned with the government regulating Social Media. Both sides of the isle have discussed it. After the damage is done. He now wants to pretend to be fair and balanced.
Google and Facebook are a huge threat to democracy and are now more influential and powerful than either of the 3 branches of Government.
Now team up rouge government agencies with Google or Facebook and it’s not hard to see where we are headed. Total surveillance. Total propaganda, totally F’d
Break them up now !
Beef consumption in 2021 was 30 billion pounds. I don't think there is that much deer around to replace it on a sustainable basis.When they finally figure out how to raise cattle like chickens and hogs. The price will come down. Why are people complaining there are plenty of deer to eat. Over population of wild geese to eat. Lakes are full of fish. I really don't know how they can sell any of that mushy expensive beef. I wouldn't even butcher one when I raised them.
What sort of an hourly wage would an unskilled labor person would have to make to replace the $15 Walmart shirt made overseas with one that costs $30+ that is made here? Not to mention that $30 price would go up even higher if wages went up.If we were to have everything made here, we would have to have a serious discussion between skilled and unskilled labor in this country. And we would have to quit paying people to NOT work. That latter would solve many of our societal ills.
I have a slightly less positive view of Gabbard. I can see why the Trump campaign might want to have a “Democrat” endorsement, but she is not someone who I think many take seriously.I'm going to give Gabbard the benefit of the doubt. I don't think she's suddenly become a Republican nor really even supports Trump, but I do believe she sees how batcrap crazy the Democratic Party has become. I believe her motive is to pull them back towards center. Even if she is a bit left of center for my liking, she has my respect.
RFK....meh....not sure...who cares.....it's a net benefit for Republicans.
In regard to Ukraine policy and what it might lead to based on statements made and record I'd say Kamala as POTUS is something we can recover from much easier than Trump throwing Ukraine to Russia. Just mentioning the lessor of two evils....
No @Tanks I would much prefer Trump lead us on the World Stage. I cannot believe you can honestly say you would support Harris. You are correct that she will come for your money....

In regard to money grabbing, already had an hour-long discussion with my banker at JP Morgan Wealth Management looking at possible scenarios and associated strategies. I'll have strategies in place the moment election is over, and we know more. I actually care more about GOP controlling the Senate than who is POTUS.
You think Biden was competent enough? At least aid was flowing to Ukraine until the House Chaos Caucus put a hold on it for about 6 months. I have more confidence on Kamala following at the very least the Biden policy than Trump especially because it is Biden policy.There is a big assumption on if Kamala will be competent enough to actually handle the Ukraine/Russia conflict, this also assumes she stays the same course and Ukraine/Russia continue the same ROE.
So who of you agree with Trump to cut off ALL aid to Ukraine..?
Come on now, dont be shy..show your support for your great leader..
so you would forego the border, taxes, energy independence ect ect..........to side with ukrauine ...You think Biden was competent enough?

So far it has been "if the other side is for it then we are against it" policy from both sides of the aisle in regard to domestic and foreign policy in regard to most issues. I am with Trump in regard to border, taxes, energy independence etc., etc.. Where I differ is Ukraine and because that is my red line I'll go with Kamala and hope for a GOP Senate to stop her other initiatives.
