What does it take to be a good President?

[rampart]

Voting for senile Biden or his politics - certainly isn't helping the USA - but it's the only thing one can do, to prevent a scumbag from totally screwing up the country.

I was going to just put a few quips in to show you that you are wrong, but I'll post the long version in case you are from Britain or some other non-US location.:

Trump's presidency was a miracle in itself, the biggest upset in US election history. Hillary and the DNC actually colluded with and paid Russians for "dirt" on Trump, aka the "Steele Dossier". Obama used the power of the DOJ, FBI, CIA and other Federal agencies to illegally spy on and setup Trump for failure. FBI operations Crossfire Hurricane and Razor, the Mueller Investigation, Russian Collusion Hoax, the MSM's constant 95% negative coverage and "fake news", Never-Trump Republicans, the Lincoln Project, globalists of every stripe, the entrenched Deep State who all oppose Trump's policies, the planted leakers and whistle-blowers, and the RINOs who'd rather shill for K-Street than work for main street. Then add to all of that the outright hatred shown by the House democrats toward Trump, to the point of "non-crime" Impeachment Articles, twice!!

Then during the 2020 election the high-tech oligarchs (Twitter & Facebook), et.al colluded with the FBI to cover-up the Biden crimes and buy the election; google “zuckerbucks” as an example. Not even investigating why 2020 had about 30m more votes than expected. Trump got 10m more votes in 2020 than in 2016 and lost?? Biden got 81m votes my ass. When Elon Musk bought Twitter the truth came out. Now the Soros DA in NYC is indicting Trump for a non-crime. The Durham Report confirms that the FBI & DOJ are NOT upholding the LAWs of the United States, the US is on the verge of becoming a Fascist state, especially now since Trump was indicted for mishandling “classified” documents and the Biden crimes are being covered up, including cocaine in the WH.

As for Biden using a teleprompter for long speeches, fine. As for ONLY using a teleprompter and NEVER doing a real press conference taking all questions on wide-ranging subjects demonstrating your total grasp of the details we both know "they" don't let Biden do those because he is too senile and too stupid.

That is quite a story.

Great question OP.

 

[Stormy Daniels]

Your options are ridiculous, and The People decide nothing.

They're presented with numerous horrible non-choices by the two criminal gangs and must vote while trying not to vomit.

Why are you so defensive over a simple question?

A cynical, defeatist point of view that is driving us into a hole.

Why are you so defensive

^ Idiotic/irrelevant/fallacious.

over a simple question?

Your question is moronic, not simple.

Simplicity requires skill, stupidity none.

Try again, and maybe a useful conversation will ensue.

A correct point of view.

And the hole we're in was created by the oligarchy; don't blame the messenger.

You seem almost offended by the question. Why?

I don't. I blame all the idiots who follow the "lesser-of-two-evils" con and knowingly vote for bad candidates.

 

[MinTrut]

Nope.

Why?

Irrelevant/fallacious.

 

[dblack]

Nope.

Irrelevant/fallacious.

Yet it has captured your interest. Hmmm.

 

[MinTrut]

I don't. I blame all the idiots who follow the "lesser-of-two-evils" con and knowingly vote for bad candidates.

You blame the victims of the two criminal gangs.

There are only bad candidates put forth as non-choices by this criminal coalition.

 

[MinTrut]

Yet it has captured your interest. Hmmm.

Not really, and not for much longer...

 

[dblack]

You blame the victims of the two criminal gangs.

Indeed. Victims often accommodate their abusers willingly.

There are only bad candidates put forth as non-choices by this criminal coalition.

No, there are others. But people voluntarily limit themselves to the two shit-parties. All we have to do is stop.

I do. Accepting a dismal status quo gets us nowhere.

Someone who doesn't F over Americans by siding with millions of ILLEGALS would be nice.

Every four years we watch a parade of people who want to take on the big job, and the country argues over who is best to do the work. But what makes someone a good option to be President of the United States?

You need a third option: No. 1 combined with love of country, solid grounding and agreement with the founding documents establishing classical liberal/libertarian (little "L") values, appreciation and dedication to the concept of unalienable rights, rule of law, understanding that money is the property of the people and not the government, and strict adherence to the letter and INTENT of the U.S. Constitution.

 

[MinTrut]

Indeed. Victims often accommodate their abusers willingly.

Yes, as Jill Stein has said.

No, there are others.

Correct, but the game is rigged completely against them.

But people voluntarily limit themselves to the two shit-parties.

Some may recognize the futility in supporting candidates who cannot win due to duopoly criminality, but it is sad.

All we have to do is stop.

Easier said than done.

But ACTUAL choice would be great, yes.
