    I didn't trust him because of some of the cretins he picked to run in his cabinet. most of which made no sense. And the way he's pushing the jab on folks now, I'm not 100% certain he wouldn't have supported mandates. But he was by far the lesser evil, and there was no doubt the opposition relentlessly against him was the establishment and that's a sure sign to me he was definitely the lesser evil.

(I'm not saying 'never ever' because someone might try to claim some event in during the civil war matches the description)
      Not this century, huh? Does 2018 count? I mean it was so very long ago. Not the process for the president (which IIRC was only delayed a few hours) but a Supreme Court Justice (causing a delay of two days). And while in January 6th, in spite of AOC's histrionics, no Congressman was ever in any danger from the raging mob.


      Contrast that to the Kavanaugh confirmation where a couple even forced their was on to an elevator with a Senator refusing to allow the Senator out or the elevator move until the coerced him into asking the FBI do one more investigation of the allegations against Kavanaugh. They were praised for their actions on the evening news broadcasts and CNN.

      Prior to that you had several of the "usual suspects" in Congress urging people to confront their Congressman and let your voice be heard. The same sort of rhetoric that you accuse Trump of using that 'incited' some to acts of violence and severe stupidity.

      • Out of curiosity, in terms of dollars, how much damage was done to the Capitol on January 6 versus the damage done during an average BLM/Antifa "peaceful protest" from 2016 to 2020?

            Old Joe has virtually no supporters (he got votes for not being Trump) and a couple polls show that of those who voted for him, those who regret doing so is already well into the double digits. Folks are removing Biden 2020 bumper stickers out of embarrassment. OTOH, Trump increased the number of votes he got in 2016 including in minority communities (miraculous after 4 years of an incessant drumbeat of accusations that he is a virulent racist) and still has a loyal core of supporters (something the demented duffer certainly lacks).

            More and more people are realizing that a competent rude lout beats the snot out of having a senile, thoroughly corrupt bumbler who has massively screwed up everything he has touched while in office. That doesn't mean that they now want to vote for Trump in 2024 (if he runs), but will be voting to flush old Joe out of the White House and into a nursing home.
            LOL @ people peeling Biden bumper stickers of cars while you remain the only set that drives around with large dopey Trump flags. There is no equivalent, and you know it.

            That most people prefer a “thoroughly corrupt” man and who belongs in a “nursing home” to Trump says tons about Trump’s epic failure as a statesman. Best opportunity ever blown by textbook narcissism and gargantuan incompetence.

            That you’d throw someone into a nursing home for reaching Biden’s level of “dementia” says a lot about you, as well.

              That word should be past tense to be more accurate.

              a “thoroughly corrupt” man and who belongs in a “nursing home”
              That part was covered up by the very complicit liberal media, but it's becoming more apparent all the time.
              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                I wouldn't throw him into a nursing home, I'd lure him there with ice cream.

                  Could this be a sign that he doesn't plan on running in 2024?
                  He is such a snowflake at times, he needs to get over himself...

                    He will always push the jab. Warp Speed was his baby, and he will never admit any flaws in the truncated development process, or the resulting vaxes.

                        It doesn't "bother" me as much as I find memes, in general, annoying. I remember back in the 1980s there was a meme circulating around of "where's the beef?". I guess it was popular because of a double entendre. But I cringed every time someone said it because I thought they were being useful idiots, giving free advertising to the hamburger joint that coined it. I understand what "let's go Brandon" is about, and I was amused for maybe five seconds.

                          There are an amazing amount of Trump-Pence billboards and other signs still up in Missouri. I attribute it to the owners losing all interest in removing them due to their depression.

                          You believe Biden has all his marbles? If so, that might say something about you as well.

                              Which word is vulgar in "Let's Go Brandon"?

                              And if you want to go with it being a euphemism for one I hope you are just as willing to condemn those who say "heck," "darn," "drat, "fudge," and "shucks."
