Congratulate the cat for a sharp poll, even though the answer is obvious.

I can not understand never Trumpers or those with DTS. One would think they at least have to recognize some of his achievements.

DTS sufferers are that way because they've never been either actual liberals or conservatives, they've always been Leftists secretly in their ideology, er indoctrination. They've always been the true racists, the upper crust that is made fun of in Caddyshack. except the media helped solidify that by becoming captured by CIA via mockingbird. These people can't accept they've been lied to and are the Nazis our parents warned us about.

I think they don’t believe they’ve been lied to - I think they hate being embarrassed and/or shown to be irrelevant. It seems they have been (happily and comfortably) playing roles their whole lives and just don’t want to give them up. They do believe in comfort and status. Does aging have anything to do with it? Maybe seeing younger people more capable - like Pressler, Musk, Kirk, Vance and DeSantis doing substantive things that others admire and appreciate- just gripes them to their bones. Does writing about or talking to others about one’s opinions count as substantive? Exactly what has Liz Cheney - picking one - ever accomplished in her life? She’s not exactly aging yet, but still ain’t done nothing as far as I know. I’d still like to know what Charles Blow ever did to get his the NYT gig years ago, except being black I mean.

Here I am, just writing an opinion. I do agree there are lies in abundance. New ones and old ones being propped up.

Estee Palti subtly mocked her wrinkles in one of her send ups. Kamala has some very mean lines in her neck.

I could care less about how people look. That said, from all that has come out of late about Kamala, it is clear that she has only been about climbing the ladder, leading an instrumental life...i.e., who and what can help her get to the next step.

Harmeet Dhillon's interview with Tucker elaborates on this, as do some of the comments of Jeff Clark (who is trying to find transcripts of the few--8 or 9!--cases where she was first chair as an attorney). Her "experience" is quite thin on the ground. She would NEVER be where she is if not for having come to the national stage from CA.

Old ones like the twin towers fell from jet fuel? The very moment I witnessed them collapse & fall within seconds into their footprint (perfectly) from my living room, while being home with my toddler children at the time, I knew the demolition was going to have to be explained away as something else. I never thought how bad it would be. The BIG LIE is that our entire government is a corrupt mafia extorting the middle and lower classes to launder their money printing and wealth theft. If you are connected to the top rungs of this evil you get the double standard, unitl you become a liability. Trump is the biggest liability EVER because he knows the game and is willing to die to expose it. My only fear is he will never give up the 9/11 hoax. I think the very upper echelons of power are all behind the Patriot act to control us plebes and that BIG LIE will never die until blood literally sheds in a Civil War to take our country back from the Elite Evil bastards that have killed our republic in the name of Democracy.

The never Trumpers I know are all Washington DC veterans. They’re either left-overs from the Bush administration or current/former staffers of old school senators/reps. All either still live in DC or all their friends/cronies are still there. In some cases they made a ton of money from their former positions. I question all the time why they are so blind (one is 30 years old!) and I’ve concluded that it’s DC. DC is very very democrat. The “republicans” who remain just aren’t exposed to anything except the echo chamber. They are stroked (paid?) by K street. All their friends are never Trumpers. They will likely be democrats at some point.

It’s all about the money. All the grants Congress passes out are payoffs to their friends. It’s a money laundering operation. Success in these agencies is never about the outcome; it’s about spending the money. Money which is granted to friendly groups who then funnel some of that money back to campaigns. It’s perverse.

The older Obama gets, the more he looks like a closeted old queen. His lisping delivery is now even more off-putting than it was when he was merely a middle-aged queen. Just as with Walz's faux, mincing masculinity, Obama's hectoring is guaranteed to turn off a few male voters who may have, at some point along the way, thought about voting for Harris. Funnily enough, in both cases these "men" are not truly masculine in either appearance or demeanor. They are what left-wing feminists imagine "men" are like. Truth to tell, real men are like an alien species to these feminists; something to be feared and reviled. At root, the feminist antipathy toward men is based on their unspoken but very real knowledge that men are actually superior in all the ways they wish to be, so since they cannot become "men", they strive for the next best thing, viz., to eliminate or emasculate them.

Your points are well taken, Steve. Feminism encouraged women to compete through ego and while it can bring outward success it rarely brings complete satisfaction. In the early days they even dressed like men and some never have changed, their idol of course, being Hillary. They wear their inner masculine attributes on the outside rather than using them as strengths. But they only succeed in becoming ‘2nd rate men’ and they do indeed hate the Alpha male. This was blatantly displayed during the debates between The Donald and Hill. It was painful to watch bc these women are not authentic in their being.

OTOH, DJT never pretends. He has the rough edges of a fighter who has lived through the wars and he never surrenders. He’s smart and he gets the job done. He builds and fixes things that are broken. He is a protector, and never afraid of showing his inner compassion and generosity when appropriate. And men and women love him for all of that. Although never famous, my dad was that kind of man. He never let me down.

Now I’m not saying that women can’t be happy professionals but when they relate and develop relationships through their feminine essence rather than ego (a man’s domain), I have seen real satisfaction. One of my oldest friends is a glowing example of this principle. She climbed the ladder as an accomplished retailer, serving her clients. When the winds changed she transferred her skills to real estate and in a few short years has found fantastic success. She treats her clients so well that they become life friends. A more generous, giving human being would be hard to find. As the song says, ‘she’s always a woman’ but this one uses her internal (one could say male) analytical strengths to make life better. She’s honest, kind, spiritual, elegant, a ‘hostess with the mostess’ a talented cook and I’ve never seen her in a pants suit.

TeaPartyGal's avatar

Wonderful comment, Patricia! I agree. Especially liked "these women are not authentic in their being". We all need to ratchet back on the stereotyping and warring over this. I so honor and respect men who so well demonstrate the primary male traits, but also see them as solid-er and more grounded when they can temper that side of themselves with various so-called 'feminine" qualities, like being awake to the dimension of Love, and able to enjoying fulfilling connections with people, and appreciate the necessary role of nurturing in a society.

I also think women have some inherent qualities that are marvelous, and that women are also well-tempered when they can combine the Love and sensitivity with clear-headed thinking, rationality, and ability to perform competently in many occupations and the public arena.

We should not be at war with eachother. In the end, we're all just people, and each plays a valuable role when they can develop in a grounded, balanced manner.

TRUMP will support free speech and shut down government misinformation. Elon has the tools and technical competence to do this.

I figured it out. The real reason people will vote for Harris is not her character, leadership, charisma, or record.

And they are largely undereducated, intellectually incurious, which makes them ign’ant by choice and thus, gullible and led like rats behind any flashy, charming, pied piper.
