Maybe if they weren't destabilising the world, their citizens might feel happier about bringing children into it.

I know what the point was, but Biden is included as if he is part of some political dynasty. He was VP. A very normal situation, 19 out of 49 have run for president. It's like being promoted through the ranks until you get to the top. Isn't that kinda normal in most careers?

So why is it "insanely improbable" for Biden, someone who qualified for the job over decades, to be "chosen" as opposed to anyone else.

We aren't talking here about how much cash it requires to become president which raises the bar above most people's head.we are taking about political dynasties.

So I say again, including Biden as if it is some statistical anomaly or stranglehold on politics is disingenuous, especially if you exclude Harris.

Her situation of running for president after serving as vice president is EXACTLY the same as Biden unless you want to split hairs and say he served 2 terms and her only 1. So if you want to say Biden was given a silver spoon, so was she.

Biden is not a dynasty. But if you insist he is, so is Harris, and that makes the original premise flawed.

I don't think it's really fair to include "Biden" alongside "Bush" and "Clinton" and NOT include "Harris", just to make a point. The point is the Bush and Clinton represent two people each, a dynasty as it were. Biden is just one person. You might as well add then Harris since she has served as VP just like Biden, or Trump but I get the feeling this is intended to somehow make the statement that Harris represents a new breed of politics, a break from the old. That may or may not be true, but it doesn't hinge on this meaningless metric.

"since 1981 there has never been an election without a Bush, Clinton, Biden, Trump or Harris."

The problem with conservatism though is that their voters will think this is a good thing. Taxes are bad full stop, so these companies are clever by lowering their tax bill. They don't see that the salaries are obscene. Then they complain about public services and infrastructure being bad.

I love to see free speech absolutism being so unshakable.

How about a compromise . An execution style murder.

I'd buy that for a dollar

Why stop at the supreme Court. Maybe all judges should have this "protection".

Oh wait but then Donnie would be in jail.

Just be honest Don. You want to jail anyone who disagrees with you.

Surely the day is approaching where enough Americans have been personally affected by gun violence that there are more that have than haven't. I often wondered if the reason it persists is because it is something that happens to other people so there is no feeling of urgency to put it at the center of politics. But it happens every fucking ~~month~~??? ...wait, I just checked and I'm being too generous with "month". They happen almost every day. We only seem to hear about them once or twice a month outside America. You guys have them more regularly than sports games.

Better hope you don't have a small dick, or you'll tick all the terrorist profile markers and be in jail before you know it.

Ah didn't realise you deleted it. It was in my inbox in sync and I replied directly there.

Reading lips is a visual representation of a sound. A teacher teaching you to read lips is only the relationship between two visual representations. Written word and moving lips. I think my point stands.
