Unlike Dave, I read all the comments. I also respond.
1. I did use Amoral Scumbag to refer to Trump. Jason stole it to refer to Robbie.
2. Dave was not going to sell HHR or allow it to continue as it was. I asked and he refused.
3. Dave referred me to this platform, which was the same one he used for HHR even though it looked and operated differently than what he used in 2003.
4. I hate change. I wish we he had the old HHR back. Both can be true.
5. I am open to suggestions on how to make this site better. If somebody can make it better or wants to restart it on a different platform, I will shut this site down when it is up and running.
6. I don’t take the suggestions or criticisms personally. Dave is an engineer and project manager. I am a lawyer. It shows in the current product.

The DPP anti-CCP party won the Taiwanese presidential election through paper ballots, no machines, persevering through all kinds of CCP intimidation and threats. Much like here in the US, with lawfare running roughshod over a candidate they didn’t want to win, so was the plight of Taiwan in standing by their candidate of choice, William Lai. A spokeswoman for his election victory said their inspiration was the U.S. American First party and their leader, Trump. Furthermore, these elections took place with threats from XI saying he would invade Taiwan should they go against the CCP endorsed candidate, have blockades for trade etc. But, unlike another country bullied by a neighbor, Taiwan did not cancel their elections, have not banned churches, a free press or imprisoned (possibly killed) an independent journalist posting dissenting opinions about a government in power.

I want to do a bit of counterintelligence on JeffP’s analysis of Trump.
He was a silver spoon kid, but an atypical one. His strong father had a work ethic encompassing climbing the ladder from the bottom going up, learning the building trade from the perspective of the worker rather than the CEO. That’s where Trump learned a simpatico with the common worker, often elevating them when he was boss, regardless of gender, through merit rather than credentials. He raised his own kids in the same fashion, learning the business trade on site rather than from behind a big desk. This same skill set is what sets him apart from the ordinary ivy leagued politician, making him a far more relatable person to the people despite being a billionaire.
Ironically while Trump often magnifies things from accomplishments to crowd size, he rarely talks about a side of him who personally wrote checks to families having loved ones held captive, had medical expenses, mortgage problems or were down and out in life. Over his years in office others would share such cameos of kindness through interviews or articles that never reached the interest of the MSM. He has written letters, met with families of deceased military, and generally taken a keen interest in ordinary people. He took no salary while in office, and actually donated assets back to the treasury. When he was being investigated by Mueller he cooperated fully in a timely manner (except for a sit-down), and after supposedly losing the 2020 election he put together a transition team to interact with Biden during the entire time he fought the integrity of the election. This included all the research done to effectuate a successful Afghanistan pull-out. Biden rejected everything and instead constructed his withdrawal around a 911 speech he wanted to make elevating his own image.
Finally, Trump is petty and thin-skinned especially when it involves disloyalty or untrustworthiness. When he experiences such from people he is relentless In exposing these vices in them. However, far from finding him insecure, he seems very comfortable being who he is, whether or not it’s politically correct or acceptable to the elites around him. I also see him as very intelligent – probably with a high IQ – which is mostly shaded by the use of common, street language employed in public settings. His native intelligence though sometimes gives him an edgy, impatient demeanor, as he simply sees and comprehends events on a totally different level than most.

I read some of the stuff posted here, though, and it’s so slanted, biased and untrue that I feel compelled to add corrections.
As for that lopsided 4 out of 44 cabinet members story, what it indicates is that these high ranking positions were filled by people who didn’t work well with him, or were suggested by others as an internal means to curtail or control his agenda or policies. As a novice in 2016, Trump had little beforehand knowledge about these cabinet people. Should he have a second term he will have more familiarity and experience in whom to surround himself with.

2016 had a Democrat caucus unlike this year, but add in the weather effect and Haley’s lead is almost certainly being overstated – big time.

Even if Trump and RDS mended fences (and I don’t think the bad blood is that bad), they can’t be on the same ticket because they both hail from FL and RDS can’t change his registration, and I doubt Trump would do it again.

Jan – That’s absolutely untrue. The Republican party is made up of more than just the Trump supporters. There are a lot of suburban folks who were once staples of the Republican party who like Haley. You forget, she was a Tea Party darling when she came from fourth place in the primaries to win the Gov of SC race.
There are still a lot of Republicans whose first priority is the military and supporting them, no matter what the Pauliac wing tries to push on the party (cowards all of them). There are a lot of voting Republicans who value foreign policy, much like Reagan did (in fact Foreign policy was one of his, and Nixon’s greatest strengths).
While I don’t agree with her statements on BLM, and some other topics, overall, a good number of her policies are very Conservative. She’s intelligent, knows how to lead a government (being Gov of a state), and is better than most of the candidates that were in the field.
This idea that only the “wealthy donors” and people who care about giving money to Ukraine like her is absurd. If she somehow got the nomination and won, she would be a better President than Biden, or anyone a Dem would nominate.
I am not defending her, but we have to be realistic. We have to govern. This is a country of 300M+ people, and whomever is the President, is the President of all America, and has to govern that way.
They need to govern as a fiscal conservative, while also realizing a complete destruction of the federal government would lead to chaos. They have to govern as a social conservative, while understanding its harder and harder to do when so much of the country is morally bankrupt.
