one of Georgia's Senators, they will look like Einsteins by comparison.
As my Dad would have put it, "That man couldn't pour piss out of his boot if the instructions were on the heel!"

(38,458 posts)Democrats were doomed because republicans were just so dominant.
Didn't work out too well for them.

(21,596 posts)I went to the doors, while unvaccinated during a pandemic, to get out the vote to get Warnock & Ossoff elected.
We Georgia Democrats, of all races, colors, ethnicities and genders, are resolved to re-elect Senator Reverend Warnock in 2022.

Thank you for your GOTV!!!!!

(15,942 posts)Never in my wildest dreams would I have predicted what is happening. However, seeing how trump manifested himself within the public view, I knew we were in trouble after declaring himself as a candidate for the presidency.
I would never have thought that he could "win" but the fix was in.
I blame "reality tv" and sports and beauty pageants for the situation we are in. Never watched any of these but have seen clips ( I did watch beauty pageants and sports growing up, but gave up on the pageants in my teens )
America's Funniest Home Videos: created to make us laugh at people who hurt themselves and win money for the videos, while people vote on their favorites.
Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous: showcasing rich people it gave us trump (this is where he became a household name as far as I was made aware).
As for sports
WWE gave us trump: people saw him and loved his "tough guy" persona.
Beauty pageants gave us trump, ladies feel for his "charming" persona.
Well that's my roundup!

(6,539 posts)This was the most recent incarnation of his act. People thought this guy was a legitimate businessman. People who had followed him before that knew better. One only needed to look at his handling of COVID--flipping it off his shoulders like dandruff--to recognize Obama's assessment as true: he was unfit to be either president or a businessman. Real businesspeople take things seriously. Trump never took anything seriously. In fact, he had contempt for everything.
But he does have a sort of weird incest thing going with Hershel Walker. Hershel Walker played on Trump's failed football team. Then Walker had a weird success in the NFL. When the Dallas Cowboys traded him to the Vikings, the Vikings got worse, and the Cowboys got draft picks who became good players in return. Prior to the trade, the Cowboys were bad, but this trade made them a dominate team, winning three Super Bowls in the 90s.

I never watched anything with him. Just the Lifestyle show and seeing clips made me ill even back then. He's a repulsive one.
