Would like to hear more here. You really think if the MSM promoted a third party candidate, people would vote for them in large numbers? The political machine is to blame. A viable third party candidate from either the DNC or GOP would never run for fear of splitting the vote and handing the win to the other party. That leaves us only true third party candidates who are always wackos when you drill down.

Hell, after the last few months, I would welcome Obama back.
Obama was a functioning human being. Trump was a narcissistic buffoon and Biden is an elderly man going through cognitive decline in front of our very eyes. This is what happens when we elect people too old to even be elected Pope.
That is only part of the problem, IMHO. The biggest issue is that Congress is inept and has no desire to do their job. So people elect a President that says that they will do the job that Congress has declined to do in-favor of getting rich. People naturally are drawn to the type individuals who say they can fix things and get the job done and it is Congress (and the parties) that are pushing more and more power to the President as they (the position) are the easiest to blame and replace without affecting their positions (and income streams). We, as the voting public, have noticed that and go along with it as it fits our baser desires to have our personal beliefs implemented. It is why the who election process has become a cult of personality.

It is much deeper process than mere age being the primary contributor but it is the most visible one.

It was worse than that. That was an order that had to come from VERY HIGH up. 3 days AFTER the strike, here’s the woke, lying Gen Benedict defending the indefensible, calling it a ‘righteous strike’ & the intelligence as "still valid."

"Secondly is we know that there was secondary explosions. Because there was secondary explosions, there’s a reasonable conclusion to be made that there was explosives in that vehicle. The third thing, as we know from a variety of other means, that at least one of those people that were killed was an ISIS facilitator."

Sec Def, Gen Milley, and that other 4 star in charge of the Aghanistan debacle testified in front of Congress today. Anyone catch it? I see a headline that the generals & Sec Def contradicted Biden, saying they recommended some troops remain (2500), after Biden claims he was never told.

General McKenzie made sure in his answers that there would be no wiggle room for Biden. He was in the room and Biden heard every word.

They advised Biden and Biden chose not to take their advice, because like Donald Trump, Biden knows more than the generals.

BTW... Gen McKenzie is a graduate of The Citadel, Class of 79.

Message is just land. If you try to come legally, they will stop you. If you just come in, they'll put you up in a hotel before driving you to a US city to be released.
