For unintended humor, try this:

THE BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION’S HISTORIC ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Here is a sample of the watershed achievements that are all but invisible to the naked eye

THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT
President Biden signed landmark legislation to bring down costs for families, lower prescription drug prices, and make historic investments in American clean energy jobs and manufacturing. Every single Republican in Congress voted against it.

currently, the administration has launched a massive effort with unlimited budget, to find, hold and experiment with the magical and wondrous unicorn whose horn is said to protect against diseases and poisons when it is ground to a powder with a pestle in a mortor or even used as the vessel from which to drink a common beverage

to date, sightings have been few but reputable persons have reported the existence of this animal by a Mr. Fauci who is said to have reports from China dating this creature as viable even in this very century

a virgin is being urgently sought as it is said that the unicorn does respond to this rare creature as both the virgin and the unicorn are trusting and gentle creatures and enjoy each others company. Biden's son is said to be entrusted with this undertaking, at his personal request.

I don’t get all this information about democratic politicians. Who cares what they did? The thing is we need a Republican candidate who is not a felon like #45.

If this was correct the election would have been overturned. Any other Republican candidate would have beaten Biden.

Trump has them all hypnotized and so they wont figure out what he's done to the Grand Old Party until he snaps his finger... and then he'll laugh and laugh at them like the Joker on Batman and then they'll remember what he said about fifth avenue.

I'm not arguing gun control one way or the other; I'm just debunking the ridiculous notion by the SC that bump stocks don't essentially convert semi-automatics to automatics.
So, If I was the ATF; I'd would have at least tried to argue that the movement of the trigger after its initial engagement was a single continuous automated function. That's debatable.

I think Justice Thomas' writings selectively applied Newtonian mechanics as well, and that bothered me.

When you see protesters burning our flag, remember that Senator Biden wanted to throw people in jail for burning, trampling on, or damaging the flag in any way. “Our diversity naturally pushes us apart, not together…It is the flag that unites us.”

It's ridiculous to assume that people who will vote for Trump are merely blind supporters. Actually, it is liberal supporters who blindly follow their party. That's why an invalid was elected to the senate from Pennsylvania.
Its an Invalide less worth, then an criminal?
What is strange, then in your big country you have such less alternatives to Trump ore Biden. I can understand that you dont like support the democrates with there program.
Is the politic in our country depend from the program of the Party or from the person.
A president should have an idealcharacter.
How you can vote for someone who lyes, cheats and deceive? Only because he is rich or a good speaker?
Finaly I believe that God is giving someone in his position to lead a country.

Show me a person who doesn't lie and I'll write their name in.
It's a practical matter for me. We have 2 choices. One I can't vote for and one I can. Ideally we would have better candidates, but you can only play the hand you have been dealt.
Also, I believe Trump is actually a good candidate for the times we live in. Sometimes a blunt instrument works better than a finer instrument. And it's hammer time in America.

Politics in the US seems just as broken as it is in the UK. A lot of people are politically homeless.
That's an interesting observation. But I don't think it's so much broken as corrupted. If the corruption is rooted out, I believe much of what appears as broken will be straightened out.
Don't give up on politics. You may only cast one vote, but you can cast countless prayers.

I don't think people are being reasonable if they think you can have politics that does not get corrupted. I ran for the school board, I was asked to run by two groups in the city and although I felt it unlikely I would win I did want to sound out a word of warning. So I agreed. I met great people who gave of their time and effort and money for this campaign. I always wondered how they could be so selfless, but eventually learned it wasn't "selfless". Everyone was hoping to win something or gain something from the election. It is not all that unreasonable, the campaign was given several thousand dollars, some people put in many hours of labor, it seems reasonable to expect that they will get something in return. We had five people running for two positions. When I look at the other four candidates it was not hard to see that they all had something they were hoping to get, other than the obvious. In every case it seems people and organizations were funding campaigns and vying for the position.

However, I knew even if elected I would be one of five school board members and the other four would be controlled by the NEA. Not only in this city but in cities across the country. So why does the NEA want to control school boards? That is obvious, the reason this is a national organization that is very powerful and influential is because of the school board members. They control budgets, they control policies, they control purchases.

I came to the conclusion that the Public school is incurably sick. No one is going to heal it by electing a few school board members. I believe this is of God. People hand off their children to the public school to teach them and train them, so you reap what you sow. You are in no position to now complain about what your kids have been taught or trained to do. You gave away your authority to control their education. Homeschool is the only solution.

Wanting to influence is corruption. Knowing someone's platform, agreeing with it, and supporting it is different.
Public schools are not corrupted beyond repair in my opinion, nor anything else. But it is beyond a quick repair unless God intercedes. You live in New York. But Zeldon almost won there and the last few election cycles have found more Republicans winning. The same is true in California.
I still believe all things are possible.

Of course, but behind the scenes everyone running was looking for a financial benefit. One woman was certainly quite concerned about the school and her own daughters experience. But she was a real estate broker and a bank had put 15k into her campaign, that was double anyone else's campaign, and guess what, the school system was going to need to build schools in the near future. I made it very clear that I didn't care if I won or lost, my goal was to speak a warning and I wasn't a salesman. Everyone I told this to in our campaign all nodded, but as soon as the election was over they wanted me to be a pitchman for various products and when I refused they were offended.

I didn't care if I won or lost, but suppose you did? I and all the other four candidates would certainly feel beholden to the people who helped them. I didn't pay anyone and I suspect no one else paid anyone, but there is no way I could have done everything without a whole lot of help. Even if there are a few extremely altruistic people out there they are the extreme minority, and all these ones who are donating their time for free expect to get something in the event they win the election.

I got enough of a peak behind the curtain to understand. There are some very good people, well intentioned, believe they are doing the best, but in the end they are all playing the same game with the same expectation that "to the winner go the spoils".

For example I know how you can get 100% reading literacy by the sixth grade. This has been proven scientifically in over 100 studies. We have known how to do this since 1980. It doesn't cost any more than what we already spend, in fact we could easily do it for less. Yet in our city 50% of the kids are not reading proficiently by the sixth grade. That is not accidental. That is not because we just don't have the right people in place. That is a very clear goal by the ones steering the ship. Everyone else is a useful idiot.

Take my word for it after three decades of Republicans ruling Texas the corruption don't magically end just because their name has the big "R" after it...
