I know right? He’s long past his prime. Donald 20 years ago might’ve been a halfway decent president (not a better fascist though).
Don’t give the universe ideas. We’re barely surviving Dollar Store Mussolini as it is.
Maybe I shouldn't have said 'stupid', he is talented at certain things like being a sociopath , winning elections with populist charisma and having tremendous social experience but he is certainly a very poorly educated man without much of a political vision.
This is the opposite of the 'scholar officials' of China for thousands of years and the standards of education/refinement required to operate in the Chinese Communist party or in Russia for that matter.
The American Putin would be like if the CIA was to train an Agent for years to replace a failing ruler, and then kill all political opponents for him until he retires at the age of 82, and then replace him with another hand-picked/trained candidate to be dictator for life and so and so on..
Putin, and Xi (Xi Thoughts) both have established and much more sophisticated political doctrines and visions for the future.
Project 2025 is dystopian partisan junk from what I've seen.

I haven’t really kept track of any of this, so it’s all new information to me. Honestly starting to sound a bit like those "mysterious window falls" in Russia, just with less media attention.

At the age of 14, Giuffre reunited with her father and returned to live with him. Her father worked as a maintenance manager at the Mar-a-Lago property owned by Donald Trump, and also helped Giuffre obtain a job there.[13] She attended Royal Palm Beach High School.[26]
Association with Jeffrey Epstein (2000–2002)
In mid-2000,[27][28] Giuffre met Ghislaine Maxwell when working as a spa attendant at Donald Trump's private Mar-a-Lago club while reading a book about massage therapy.

Last week was Obama Treason Week, now it’s Hillary Email Week. Next week’s probably Pizzagate. Where are the Epstein files?

Anyone who is similar to Bernie Sanders will likely not even be nominated by the Democratic party.

It's way too early, but I'm calling Newsom (or Buttigieg) vs. Rubio. I don't think Vance has the charisma to win over voters and his politics are too bland to fire up the base, hence Rubio.
Also, Bernie will be 87 in 2028.
EDIT: Oops, I misread.

I listened to JD's entire Rogan interview (for about 2 hrs IIRC) and was unimpressed with him. He repeated MAGA/Republican party boilerplate & culture war agitation.
He came across as a hardcore social climber with no original ideas of his own. For instance he seems to have joined the military mainly with wanting it as a status symbol to pad his resume, get veterans' benefits (college tuition) and not out of desire to be a soldier. Also I do wonder how a college student from humble origins was able to attach himself to a billionaire sponsor so easily and secure such high level patronage. Thiel sponsored his whole career, helped him get a major book deal (the political/pseudo biographical/fictional ) in college, and then funded millions for his Senate seat years later. Thiel essentially treated this guy like his son.
How JD did this is more interesting than anything else, because without a billionaire sponsor he'd probably be a nobody.
As VP all he does is act as Trump's lackey.

On the bright side, the agricultural sector has no shortage of job openings.
