Better than Pence I hope.
I still laugh at when people wanted Trump out. Pence would have been 10 times worse. He is an actual conservative and VERY old fashioned. Trump is a '90s democrat. I guess people just follow whatever the media says. That fly sure did love him though.

I hope.

I'm learning a lot about Vance ...vicariously from Vivek.



I understand WHY now. Vivek wasn't gonna be picked. I think with more media attention, and "likeness," I think he'd have a position somewhere in the actual White House.

I am NOT going to ignore the previous comments in 2014-ish. For now I'm just gonna be a bit optimistic.

I want Vivek to be the press secretary just to screw with journalists, he would make them all look like the idiots they are :haha:
 
Sadly a lot of liberals are following communist dogma now. Not good!
I’m starting to realize this applies to conservatives too. I brought up the shooting with my conservative dad today and he started arguing about how there are at least some good republicans but there are no good democrats and he accused me of being too liberal when I’m actually a moderate.

I wish that more of these people would separate the ideologies with the political parties.

That isn't communism, that is your dad being a boomer :haha:

A lot of people don't understand either where the "party lines" even are. Labels mean nothing. Both parties have been corrupt for decades and people just wanna live in denial of it.

I was talking about my post you quoted before my other one you quoted just now. I merely quoted your post about liberals following the communist dogma out of convenience and to notify you.

My brother also accused our dad of being a boomer when I told him about this too.

That is not everyone. I think what you experienced is the outlier. Conservative/Republicans are mostly chill.

Its the Rinos you gotta worry about in the Republican base. They are the alt-right/far-right of the party. Much like the far-left vs moderate dems.

My brother doesn't understand that there is a split on the Democratic party. I UNDERSTAND there is a split in the Republican party.

You're right. But your dad is the outlier. Your dad is old fashioned. I venture to think he is comfortable with the old guard Conservative/Republican party.

Problem is, the Democrats today....

IS. NOT. THE. SAME. PARTY.

NOT the ....

90's Democrats.

No she understood. She's right. Your dad is the boomer.

The assassination attempt story gets even worse... The cops knew about the man on the roof for 26 MINUTES BEFORE HE TOOK A SHOT.

I hope the wife that lost her husband, the daughters that lost their father... I hope they sue the city/town/area and demand they all be persecuted in this man's death. If all those cops standing around Floyd got charged all these cops should be charged for allowing this to happen. I am sick of incompetent cops getting people killed.
