    He may be doing it to stir up the base and give the media something to run with if the election is stolen. "Trump never really was that popular." Besides: $$$$$$$$

    That could be true as well but Trump seems to be more popular with more people everyday including the big dollars and Democrats running away from their party like their pants are on fire.

    I don't think Obama is at the top of the progressive food chain either, but he has probably been led to believe he is. Very likely, the people at the top are names we've never heard of. But this is a Fetterman thread. He's still a liberal Democrat, but his brain seems to be getting better.

    I have trouble with the label "progressive" because I doubt they are anything of the kind. I tend to distrust "conservative" almost as much and I now consider both completely vacuous labels, little more than trade names like Coke vs. Pepsi. More team BS to keep the cattle in the corrals.

    Not being able to identify them is far more dangerous.

    Obama is a Muslim from Kenya who doesn't believe America has suffered enough. He wants the U.S. to become a third-world country so we will know what the rest of the world feels like.

    If that's what he wanted, his hope for the US is coming true. Electing him along with biden was enough torture, which they didn't have to lift a finger to do, which is exactly what they did, to help destroy the US. And that's thanks to those who willingly, or blindly voted for them.

    He seems to have turned out better than Mehmet Oz would have been.

    I don't recognize that name, but I didn't want a guy named Barack Hussein Obama for a US President after 9/11, I mean better safe than sorry, since I don't care who was all for him! I'm not a racist, just plain anti-terrorist.

    Interesting that Fetterman could sit for over 2 hours with Rogan, but Kamala cannot. :rolleyes: Sadly, the effects of his stroke are still very much apparent. He is still following the liberal playbook.

    Jacob I understand why you feel this way, so do I to a certain extent, but one of them is poison, imo of course, the other one is at least not acting like a Marxist Cuckoo Bird.

    I guess I was thinking "Progressives" aren't really progressive in their advocacies, and "Conservatives" aren't averse to every change.

    To my understanding, "progressives" are known for their strategy of continually progressing toward their ultimate goal. While their progress might slow when Republicans control the Administrative branch and both houses of Congress, they still progress toward their goal through the court system or with help from fellow travelers in the GOP. As we have seen, they move faster when they have the power to do so, running roughshod over the opposition and the law. Conservatives, on the other hand, are always on the defensive. Rather than pressing their advantage when they have the majority in both houses of Congress and the Administrative branch, they accommodate the other side wherever they can and are too often satisfied with slowing the progress of the progressives. While members of his own political party severely hampered him, Trump threatened the progressives in that he intended to advance another agenda, which was not necessarily a conservative agenda but one that was in direct opposition to the global progressive agenda.

    As for John Fetterman, I don't know what to think about him. For a moment there, it seemed like he was getting his brain back. But no, it seems that he's still a Democrat.

    My favorite democrat strikes again. :D:D

    Fetterman Slams Nancy Pelosi for ‘Blaming Biden’ over Kamala Harris Election Loss: ‘You Got What You Wanted’

    "Fetterman, who continued to stick by Biden even as donors for the Democrat Party and several of his Democrat colleagues began calling for Biden to step aside, added that Pelosi was “still blaming Biden.”

    “People like [Nancy] Pelosi, she really tried to — what’s the word I’m looking for? — she embraced this ‘she’s the godmother, she’s the enforcer,” Fetterman told the outlet. “And now she’s blaming Biden. Well, you can’t have it both ways. You got what you wanted, and now you’re still blaming Biden.”

    Man without a country.

    And Pelosi has filed her intention to run for reelection...she's 86 years old.
