It all started in a little 5000 watt radio station in Fresno, California…

I'm guessing he's pulling off a great number of actions that a significant portion of his voters did not expect.

And for the record, the US does not and has never had a "democracy". It's a representative republic, and the representatives, or at least the Speaker, is willing to cede representation.

Well that's unfortunate, and a kinda silly presumption, donchathink?

It was my understanding that texts were considered higher priority messaging than calls or emails, due to their brevity. I don't see how promptness corresponds to promiscuity at all. But then, much of society now baffles me. Thnx!

Serious question from an oldster who doesn't own a smart phone & subsequently, doesn't text.

In contemporary mores, is one expected to respond to a text message immediately? Moreso than an email or phone call? (or telegram, semaphore or smoke-signal, in my era)

Seems more cumbersome than a call.

A familiar face on screen for decades, may be best remembered as the Morning Shift Manager in this memorable McDonald's advert...

...yes, until Trump declares a bogus National Emergency and signs an Executive Order postponing the mid-term elections.

He's already making inroads to invalidating mail-in ballots.

A lot can happen in the next 14 months...

...and I hope I'm wrong.

Correct.

Just as with the incident in Butler, PA in 2024; if it was legit, he would've bragged about surviving it, humility not being a strong point. Instead: absolute silence after the raised fist "fight" photo op & his miraculous healing ear.

This lot can't even lie well. Johnson in particular.

Correction: he wanted the worm brain's voters during the campaign.
Now that he's a liability, Trump will throw him under the bus.

Right...
This is from the same playbook as Elvis working as a DEA agent.

Well, at least Vance can speak whole sentences structured in a subject/predicate/object form. I think he might even be able to read, so there that much…

Okay, you’re right; it’s not enough to coast on — he’d be just as bad.

With the American obsession with celebrity, why not?
Frankly, he's far more electable than Newsom in the public eye.
Thing is, he probably can't past the Democratic Establishment influencers who decide what a frontrunner is...

American politics has degenerated to the level of so-called Reality TV.

It's a poor man's idea of opulence.
Just as Trump is a weak man's idea of a strong-man.

...and, while we're at it, orange face-paint is a pale man's idea of a rugged tan.
