Celebrates his hero's what? (I kid, I kid)

Really? The orange man looks to be in better shape

Trump appears hale and hearty. Biden appears frail. Biden unfortunately comes off as someone getting close to being in need of assisted living. I'm not saying that to mock him. I'm saying that because he's running for four more years as president when he's clearly deteriorating both physically and mentally.

They both need to step back. Nobody should be president while 80+.

Agreed. That's why I'm rooting for DeSantis. I predict that those who hate Trump, will hate DeSantis more. And if Trump is convicted, DeSantis can pardon him.

No way, at least in my case. I don't care for a number of DeSantis' policies, but he seems to be an okay guy. I could put up with him as president. (I'm still rooting for Haley.)
My problem with Trump is his character, and I would prefer a moldy turnip as president over him.

If you think people hate Trump just because he's a Republican, you might as well have been living on another planet.

DeSantis? Not even once. He's a Trump clone (self-aggrandizing, petty, vindictive, etc.) only he'd be more competent at getting his bad policies through. I might vote republican if the candidate isn't one of those two, if only because I think a republican president might calm the extreme right down for a bit.

It's certainly possible I could change my mind about DeSantis as I see more of him in the presidential race. I can't imagine him being worse than Trump, though.

The ONE advantage of DeSantis that I see is I don't think he has delusions of kingship (or ULTIMATE POWER MWAHAHAHA).

Agreed - there should be age limits both in the Presidency and Congress.

It's a sad day when we have a Commander in Chief who pays more honor to people of specific sexual persuasions (except not heterosexual) than the men and women who fought and died paying for the right for them to have free expression.

We will not forget, even if the Commander in Chief does.

I don't know about that...when I've talked to various democrats, the takeaway I've gotten is that the dislike Trump more on a personal level, but view DeSantis as a bigger political challenge. (which isn't quite the same as hatred)


If Trump is planning on DeSantis giving him a pardon as a "backup plan", he's not doing a very good job of hedging his bets by constantly attacking him the way he has been.

I guess there are no substantive disagreement with President Biden's policies so the right needs culture war nonsense like this thread.

You can agree or disagree with the right's various culture war stances.

...but I think one could make a reasonable case that the "culture war" was started by the left, and the right's response was reactionary to what was happening around them.

In a nutshell, the left pushed a myriad of cultural issues too far, too fast, and when the right (and a large number of centrists) reacted, and harshly, then all of the sudden "it's petty to focus on the culture stuff".

My memory is that the Right started the "culture war," when Republicans started being heavily influenced by the Religious Right. I'm guessing that many in the homosexual community will claim their interest in politics came about with the Religious Right and, specifically, the Reagan administration's (pushed by the Religious Right) response to AIDS.

No. I'm old enough to remember Pat Buchanan's speech in the 90s.

The right wing thinks this sort of stuff is a winning strategy for them.

One could argue that it goes at least as far back as Nixon's 1968 Southern Strategy: Southern strategy - Wikipedia

So, the purpose of this thread is to express "faux" outrage at Biden using some friendly hyperbole towards LGBT.

Hmmm, OK.
My eyes are typically directed towards the Indictment of Trump these days, but this was some light releif.
