Quote from: JakeL on August 17, 2023, 05:56 AMHowever, IMHO I think the president should know when to keep his mouth shut.

yeah, probably, but I have to admit that it's kind of endearing to have a politician who actually just says what he is thinking, as opposed to those who say what they are told to say. These press secretaries, are just about worthless in my opinion no matter who they work for.

Yeah, except for Kayleigh McEnany, she brought receipts/binders and was very easy on the eyes.

Quote from: Newbeeee™ on August 17, 2023, 07:15 AMOhhhhhhJakey....You can tell me.
Did those mean tweets hurty you?
:lol:


Didn't hurty my at all, but obviously it hurty enough people to not get the guy reelected.   :yes:

Just seems like a bad move to run your mouth if you're a "person in power"

I agree with beej, I'd rather have someone who says what's on their mind rather than what people want to hear. However there are ways to say what's on your mind without being rude.

I used to say "it's not mean if it's true" I've come to realize that's not a good way to look at things.  :baghead:

You mean, telling one of the other candidates that his wife is ugly isn't becoming of a US President? :lol:

I get what you mean, to an extent. He could handle somethings with a little more grace. John McCain's death for example. He could have said, we had our differences but he was one hell of a fighter. that might have got him a few more votes in Arizona, where McCain was well liked.

Noooo! I'm pretty sure that if you criticize someone's political beliefs, you are criticizing their skin color and\or gender and\or looks, and are therefore racist, homophobic, mysogynist, etc. Come on! it's in the Geneva convention!

I'm not saying I think the election wasn't bogus...
I am saying I don't think the government or big corps. are coordinated enough to lie to the public and get away with it.
