    Why not a combo of both? A bunch here still buy into conservatism because their church school demands it.

    I had a conversation just last week with some West Indian geech who tried to bothsides the two parties in a Black family's house (I was a visitor as well). Was probably pearl diving for White greeks on vaca before his fam scraped up enough money to send him to school here with one change of clothing and some fish jerky

    For real, though... Some of the self-selected immigrants can be a thorn, believing their whole banana boat culture to be superior to Black Southerners. But by the time they've been here a couple of generations, they see the ceiling up close and finally, they know what time it is.

    So we’ll have not one, but two indicted candidates in the GQP primaries?

    Newsom is also suggesting kidnapping charges after FL flew immigrants to Sacramento under “questionable” actions.

    We need the GOP to be as crazy as it can be, for as long as it exists.

    Not that I am a huge believer that supposed 'retail politics' skills matter that much in the Oval, but i do believe key skills for any modern leader are communications, empathy, charisma etc

    How can such a human grut stain effectively lead the country when he is so repellant?

    At least with Trump, you can see an authentic, charismatic, star quality. Reagan had that. Clinton had that. Bush had that (the guy to have a beer with). Obama had that. Trump had that.

    Biden I think it is a little different due to the circumstance. But he is still very much a national figure, perhaps more in the Merkel role as protective patriach.

    Ron is a mean spirited arsehole, and not in a good way.

    Biden you don't see cause he is old but he is old school. He is better at pressing the flesh, shaking hands, kissing babies than all you just named.

    1) There is that congressman who tweeted about how his kids were home but wanted to meet him so he told the congressman let's do a video call right now.

    2) if you remember when he accepted the nomination in 2020, one of the people that announced for him in the video was a small kid who had learned to get over his stuttering because Joe met him somewhere in New England or something and gave him his personal number and said I used to stutter too.

    3) I remember in an interview, Obama said I can work the rope as well as any politician. But there's been times when I have been towards the end of working the rope and there's Joe halfway back still pressing the flesh and shaking hands taking more than the time that they recommend us politicians do to meet and greet the people.

    Ron is that forward that looks great behind a dominant pack. I was telling rugby friends he is more Sam Broomhall than Kieran Reid.

    Of course in DeSantis' own state he pushed DeSantis into the background when meeting people affected by a storm.

    We know that the MAGA legal frame is unconstitutional, unless you invoke some bizarre ancient doctrine, like the bible:

    It really needs to be said that this tells a lot of things. But if you told me that Biden was taking that woman out for drinks and dinner later I'd believe it.

    I would be shocked if those actions don't violate some state or federal laws.

    “After days of silence, officials in Florida confirmed on Tuesday that the administration of Gov. Ron DeSantis had orchestrated two recent charter flights that carried groups of migrants from New Mexico to Sacramento,” the New York Times reports.

    “The flights had generated an immediate outcry from leaders in California, who promised to initiate criminal and civil investigations, saying that the migrants had been deceived into boarding the planes.”

    This reminds me of a quote I've always been fond of. I wish I could remember who it's from:

    "I contend that we are both atheists; I simply believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you don't believe in all the other gods, you'll also understand why I don’t believe in yours."
