https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Trump

Freddy T was born in new York - in the Bronx
- he was despised by many..
- Woody Guthrie wrote a song about him..

PS - the forensic results of Don Drumpf's ongoing IRS (mandatory) inspection should be interesting..

well his father apparently was born in Germany, and if he was never naturalized then Trump isnt an American.
Putin also worked in Germany. Coincidence? I think not

Hey I just invented a conspiracy that's more plausible than the pizza -ring.
Eh I know you're saying it part in jet but that's still false btw. Anyone who born in the US are qualified to be naturally born citizen. Else Obama wouldn't be the previous president. Trump was born in New York, and that's the only thing that matter regarding that particular qualification to hold the President office. It doesn't matter even if his father was an Alien born on Mar. ;)

In fact, that particular piece of law had caused quite a few griefs, and there is a not so small number of people want to see that change.

Damnit, you are right.

What if Trump was born.... in ...Russia? In town "New Siberia" instead of New York

Can't breath. Too funny.

https://babylonbee.com/news/joe-biden-a ... ead-of-tsa
But..

I like Joe.

I'm largely a Conservative on many issues. When Obama was elected, I girded up my loins and kept on keeping on, despite the fact I was not happy about some things. (Like his "Foreign Policy" among others.) I, too, laughed along with a few on Biden's continual stream of gaffs.

But... After awhile it kind of became clear to me that Biden isn't a buffoon, he's just "genuine." Further, buffoons tend to expand their buffoonery until it eventually exposes their distasteful flaws, if they have any. I really didn't see any there after eight years of gaffs.

But, here's the thing that might really be of concern to you as a fairly strong Conservative - There are elements in the Democrat/Liberal caucus of power-movers that are pushing Biden's overly-enthusiastic-grandpa image "over the edge" on purpose, IMO. The accusations against Biden are, in my opinion, frivolous. It's not like he touched women on their "no-no spot" or manhandled them in a hallway or anything. Any rational, sane, observer would likely note he was expressing affection, camaraderie, etc... Like an "overly enthusiastic grandpa" rather than a "handsy Uncle."

But, there has been what appears to me to be some pushback from the Dems/Libs against Biden and, again just my opinion, some promotion of these accusations. I think they're an attempt to deflate his bid in favor of not splitting support off from other candidates. And, those other candidates may be far more Liberal or Progressive than Biden. Goodness knows there's enough of them out there as it is and, surprisingly enough, the Dems seem to be using these "accusations" to push support away from Biden, who appeals to a rather large spread of people.

I think the Democrats/Progressives are looking to use the backlash and anger that Trump's administration has caused in certain segments as an opportunity to promote someone who's own agenda/platform is far more radical than what would otherwise be politically be possible. The idea being "They'll vote for anyone as long as it isn't Trump, so why should we support a "soft Democrat" when we can go full tilt and promote a radical Progressive?"

- yeah, sure - it's just a beauty contest - where only easily lead morons are allowed to vote..
- they're not allowed to think, are they..??

- never mind the increasingly alarming number of "acting" officials in the current executive..
- never mind the lies and gerrymandering during the campaign - forget the "office-stuffing", as the "fraudulently" installed president..
- never mind that by withholding full access to the Mueller Report, Trump Inc. is playing fast and loose with the Constitution of The United States..
- after all it's traditional to completely bullsh*t the electorate..

- that's why Trump exists, and it's how he "achieved" office - it's how he's continuing to hang onto it by his fingertips..
- it's how May got her job, and it's how she'll keep it, too..:evil:

- it's mostly lies and cheating..
- you can have it any colour you like - as long as it's "Konservative" or Replicant..

- Big Donny's got you by the b*lls, and none of you can do anything about it..!!

The man with the Most Punchable face in politics... His picture is in the dictionary under "Tool." If "condescending" had a face, his would be it. I've heard him talk a few times and there is an unmistakable sound of a thousand infants screaming if you listen very closely...

The rumor-mill is running around saying he's one of the forces behind Trump cleaning house in DHS, etc. If there is someone that lies more than Trump, it's this guy. That's probably what Trump likes about him.

Democrats are not my circus and not my monkeys. For what it's worth I don't think Biden will be their nominee. They would have to back away from the extremism and the identity politics they have turned up to 11 to run him. Apart from the weird touchiness towards women and children he is unremarkable. It is going to take a total madman to have a chance to defeat President Trump in 2020.

Just so you know, Cortez isn't running and can't run, because she is too young. Warren probably won't get the nomination, because frankly, she is uninspiring.

But, no matter if one is traditionally a Republican or Democrat, we all want the "Best Choices Possible" running campaigns, right? That's the kicker... Being traditionally in favor of Republicans, I was extremely disappointed, in the extreme, with Trump as the nominee, especially versus Hillary. I was actually a bit surprised that Hillary got as much support as she did, even though I was more surprised that Trump won. :) No, I am not expected to be rational in these things...

Let's say the Dems do what they want and nominate Sanders or a Sanders-Clone candidate. (I think there's too much pushback against Sanders via the whole Sanders/Clinton debacle, so cloning some of his platform is needed to grab his old support base.) What is then the possible outcome if it is revealed that Trump actually has eaten and survives by eating babies? If the outrage is palpable enough, then we could be looking at a Sanders-Clone in office.

That's why the nominee of the party that one doesn't like is important, overall. One doesn't have to necessarily dwell on it, but planning for the worst outcome can be helpful.

I dislike judging people by their appearance. But, in my defense, this guy would have a very different sort of image if, in fact, he was a very different sort of person than he portrays himself to be... He is "that guy." He's the guy most likely to betray you when you sit down with others to play a game of "Risk." He's that one guy that always slowly creeps to Australia every_darn_time. He's that one guy that has "friends" who never smile when they're in his company... unless they're always talking about how much they screwed over someone else, then it's all laughs.

I just get an atmosphere of "cringe" emanating from the television screen any time this guy makes an appearance. I don't know why. Mabye it's some primal survival instinct kicking in or some natural aversion to his phenotype left-over from when Ooog got swindled in an arrowhead deal back in 20,000 BC or something?

I'm not really at that point. If democrats want to go full socialist let them do it. Their endgame is going to involve presenting the American working class with a bill. The last time they did that with obamacare did not go so well for them. America has a way of correcting it's government back into the proper path. When you put emotions aside about how great your policies are you end up with convincing people who work hard for their money to part with it to pay for your schemes. Again, let the democrats demand whatever they like. If they want to do stuff that isn't in my best interest then they can go pound sand.

keep 'em poor - then we can just buy everything they can't afford..
and they will be completely helpless at election time..

- simple, really..

- the people don't matter - it's good that WE are in total control..

I haven't found much of anything that a politician has said is in my best interest to actually be "in my best interest." So, the scale for judging that is kinda bent no matter if it's Democrats or Republicans stating it.

Do you think a Democrat can have a good idea?

Serious question. And, no, just as yet-another-disclaimer, I ain't no Democrat. :)

Could a Libertarian or Independent have a good idea?

And, if "No" could be the answer to those questions, what's with candidates who switch parties?

Honestly, I think that politicians have decided that the most important thing they can do while in office is stay in office. Capitol Hill is friggin' "Amway." There's no end to it. There doesn't appear to be a "goal" anywhere other than "winning votes." It's "win vote first, something something complete, second..." That means they have to come up with things that "appeal" to voters. Except, now it's a lot easier to tell the voters what appeals to them.

"I gotta great idea! Let's invent problems that we have solutions for that the People will love hearing about!"

"But, what about-"

"F' that! That's just a mess of problems that would take too much work and I have an election coming up in a year!"

"OK, so for our campaign platform, we're going with-"

"You got it - We're going to implement new regulations that will fix that bit of waxed string on packs of Life-Savers ™ that never works right and makes the consumer have to peel them off the top with their fingernail which removes the foiled paper so it can't be used to keep dirt away from the Life-Saver ™ on top, which means that one Life-Saver ™ is a... HEALTH HAZARD! We'll certainly get a wide selection of people who are against health hazards!"

"But, they don't have any health insurance 'cause it's too expensive. So.."

"Exactly! Why do you think they're so concerned about health hazards to begin with? Am I the only one who does any real thinking about here?"
