Damn near everything that the left holds over trump has been matched by biden in terms of character issues. Trump is a bully, Biden is a fool. Neither would even be worth mentioning except that they are our choices and they both stink, but I will take the one that will put Americas prosperity first and has proven such the last 4 years.@JimmyinSD said:
You know you don't mean that. Biden isn't a perfect candidate. He's doddering, he's old, he sometimes gets things mixed up. But you can NOT compare him to the incompetent pig in the white house. Biden is not an imbecile. He's not a conman with the morals of a snake and an ego the size of the empire state. He's not going to be retweeting white supremacists or giving advice to teen hollywood from his toilet seat.@purplefaithful said:
Both are pieces of shit, just the color of ties they choose to wear. Biden is by no means a virtuous candidate to waive in the faces of trump supporters. It will once again be a hold your nose and vote election.@MaroonBells said:

His base didn't seem to understand that he was insulting them when he said that, but he was right.@MaroonBells said:
Jon Gordon, best-selling author and leadership coach to the Clemson football team, LA Rams, TX Rangers and Dell Computer outlines the characteristics of great leaders.
• Small ego, big mission.
• We before me.
• A lot of love and accountability.
• A lot of grace and truth.
• Demanding but not demeaning.
• Loving but not enabling.
• Shout praise. Whisper criticism.
• High standards, low tolerance for excuses.
There are millions of leaders in American business who have most if not all of these qualities. I've seen them. I work with them. How is it we managed to elect to the most important leadership position in the world a man with literally none of these? It's not worth the key-strokes unless this is a healthy way for you to vent?
Honestly, I believe Trump when he said he could kill a man in broad daylight on 5th avenue in NY and not lose a vote amongst the base.
Yeah, there might be some venting in it, but I also think we need reminding just how nuts it is that million of Americans actually WANTED this man to be our president. I think many of them mistook his doltishness and lack of any real leadership skills as the "fresh voice of an outsider."
It's OK to want someone who isn't a career politician, but if you take it too far, THIS is what you end up with.
Its a similar refrain in our household...
My wife fumes about POTUS, way more than I do (even though our vitriol for the man, his value equation and his policies are equal)
I tell her he is who he is, it's very transparent. But my dear, your anger is pointed at the wrong person. Be disappointed and upset with those that actually voted him in. I'm not convinced they got what they were hoping for either.
We'll see where the chips fall in November.
Trump is an embarrassment to the history of this once proud nation. The sooner our long national nightmare is over, the better for all of us.
It's not the presidents job to make sure the rest of the world has it as good or better than Americans do. it's not his job to make sure that its Uncle Sam to the rescue no matter what happens. It's not his job to make us feel warm and fuzzy. It's his job to strive for what's best for the majority of the country first and foremost and to work to make it the best place it can be for all Americans and that's in no way a reference to skin color, or anything else somebody might try to twist it.
If that were true, we wouldn’t have 130,000 dead Americans. Trump was more worried about his fucking re-election chances than protecting Americans. Where’s his federal plan for Covid - oh there is none, it’s the state level problem now. Still no healthcare plan? Infrastructure plan? Republicans have spent 11 years bitching about Obamacare but STILL can’t even come up with a better plan.
At some point the koolaid has to wear off, right? Nah some of you boys on the SS Trump-Titanic will just continue to deny hitting the iceberg and think the water around your ankles is just a little leak ... by the time you’re bobbing up and down in the Atlantic like frozen popsicles with red hats, you’re going to continue to tell us Trump’s MAGA plan for swimming back to NY is totally better than using the Democrats lifeboats to save your dumb asses.
