2024 ELECTION THREAD
The next presidential race will be here soon! Please see current Bovada odds. Thoughts?
Here is my take on the names that most often thrown around:
Kristi Noem -- I don't see it. If Trump chooses a woman, it will be a woman with the right resume, not a woman who graduated from college at the age of 41 and who is the governor a state that Trump surely perceives as inconsequential.
Vivek -- No chance. He has the required energy, but Trump has no interest in a VP who will compete with him for oxygen and who, in the breach, would choose self-interest over loyalty.
Tim Scott -- Tim Scott has said all the right things, but I'm guessing that he reminds Trump too much of Pence -- that is, a religious person who Trump can't fully trust to do the wrong thing at Trump's request.
Elise Stefanik -- She's young for a VP candidate, but she probably checks the other boxes from Trump's perspective -- blue blood education, energy for the fight, largely unprincipled, and smart and ambitious enough to play the game (but not smart or ambitious enough to knife Trump at exactly the right time and step over his dead body).

Don't forget Tucker
D2; I was referring to rickroll but only because of his self-proclaimed expert status through antidotal life experience only in the recent post. I don’t believe they are the same person.
Excluding the ones that actually worked in the Trump administration and saw first hand how incompetent he is.
They still love this SCOTUS and understand how that matters much more than everything else combined.
The worst possible republican president who nominates federalist society SCOTUS judges is a lot better for a republican than the best possible democrat human being that nominates Sotomayor clones, like not even close.
That's because SCOTUS HAS A LOT MORE POWER THAN POTUS and the appointments are for life.
a veto that can't be overrided by any other entity, on the totality of the legislation both of congress and of all states, and all the executive actions of potus or any governor, including everything that already passed in the past.
Lifetime power vs max 2x4y years terms.
Maybe in leftwing terms the power isn't equivalent, as if you want to change society in a novel way introducing something, that's quite hard for SCOTUS compared to POTUS (or congress). SCOTUS would have a hard time deciding financial resources should be spent for X if they aren't already (with some exceptions).
But in terms of controlling what other entities with power can do, which is the main concept of power i use, SCOTUS is completly unmatched.
Having the last word about what anyone with power is allowed to do with that power with no exception and nothing above you is quite absolute power in that negative sense.

The president has profound influence over foreign policy. The SCOTUS exerts little or no influence over foreign policy.

Helluva guy 😀
Takes a real sicko to believe that people and governments are capable of lying.
Careful Luckbox, if the feds find out you know the truth about Sandy Hook they are going to bundle you up into a van and disappear you off to a black site. All that will be left of you in this forum are memories and whispers that you knew too much. So, for your own safety, probably best you don't post on the topic.

I'm not actually paranoid like that believe it or not. Remember I travel in places most Westerners are too afraid to go.
What if Lucky figures out that 2p2 was a psyop this whole time?
it would be pretty naive to think that some three letter org doesnt have access to everyone's posts here.
i'd still bet she endorses him prior to the election. she's playing tough now, but she'll kiss the ring. and we'll have another ted cruz photo where she's calling voters for him.
The only way that happens is if she wants and is offered secretary of state
But otherwise she is rooting for biden

I'm sure the NSA have their elitest hackers working round the clock on... figuring out how to read a public forum.
I'll let you into a secret, Vic. You also have access to everyone's posts here.
