    Right now i'm pretty sure obiden is going to step down in the campaign, if not >the presidency. Especially since obama went public with saying he should drop
    it and other vocal 'movie stars' voiced their opinions.

    It is sad that celebrities get to dictate what we do.

    This country is shit, i just hope trump wins and people can eventually drop this culture of division that the democratic party has pushed since obama.

    If Trump wants to unite, he will also have to drop a lot of the division practices that he also is guilty of. No more mean social media posts (he should quit posting, period... Obama was the first to do that and, while
    not near as prolific, he used it to divide, too) and no more appealing to
    the most radical of his supporters.

    We're headed to a civil war.

    I don't think it is that bad yet. Now, let him lose again and, even if it
    is clear cut legit, if he acts like he did last time then yeah we will have problems.

    I don't think trump has division practices.
    i think obama and the democrats started it and they are still going strong wit
    it. he has issues with politicians on both sides but he does not cause the american people to fight one another. he does not create names like 'maga republicans' etc for people to focus their hate on.

    He may not have created "maga republicans" but I know plenty of Trump supporters who identify as just that, so I am not sure we can blame that on democrats, either. Many of those "MAGA republicans" are just to open to
    ideas that don't align with their own as your typical leftists, i.e. they
    are not at all open.

    Obama sure went head-first into division politics, but Trump has said and done alot to put targets on people who don't go along with his way, i.e. "RINO," which has helped keep at least Congress pretty divided.

    I don't think it is that bad yet. Now, let him lose again and, even if it >> is clear cut legit, if he acts like he did last time then yeah we will have >> problems.

    trump acted like that because he trolled his way into the office.
    it was very effective for him. that being said, he made a lot of excellent executive orders and mad a lot of improvements in the country.

    He had a lot of successful policies. He should have stood on those instead
    of the "they stole the election" mantra that has been at the front of
    things for the past 4 years.

    There was no reason to act as he did when he lost.

    this is while the media spent their time attacking him 100% and the democratic
    party doing nothing but attack him. they even neglected their legislative duties because they were always so focused on him.

    Initially, the press was pretty much on attack but he seemed to be able to
    work some with the Democrats. Something happened that changed that. IIRC, someone made fun of Pelosi and Schumer after they worked with Trump on something, Trump also poked fun at it, and they got pissed. It would be
    more logical that it was something more significant than that, but it
    happened at the same time.

    now he's a felon and it means nothing. he probably won't get prison time but who knows.

    To his supporters, that means nothing. To Democrats, Independents, and other never-Trumpers, it does. To how many Independents and undecideds it makes
    a difference to, I am not sure, but I do believe that will determine the outcome of the election.

    mean tweets. big fucking deal. dude handled other countries well and those trump years were great.

    See above regarding to whom that would be a big deal.

    Financially, if you had your money in a 401k with less volitile
    stock choices, you probably made out like a bandit during 2017-19. You may also have in volitile stocks, too. If you were real smart and decided to move a lot of the money out of stocks and into safer things that guarantee a return (albeit a much lower one) at the first sounds of COVID, you probably also did well.

    Since 2020, you are probably back to breaking even, at best, just like you might have been (if you were lucky) under Obama. Folks who say they are
    doing better than they were 2017-19 are either really lucky, really good at moving money around, or they are in the "no more meant tweets = better" crowd.

    i hate sounding like a trump fan boy because i'm not. i just hate the other guys so much more. i'm not even into politics. i'm just sick of living in world of shit.

    I am not a fan of anyone right now. Never was, but I did think Trump
    didn't do a bad job as President. It was what he did immediately after
    that I find very questionable.

    Somewhere south of Green Bay, near or maybe in Appleton, someone had a picture of Trump painted onto the side of their house or garage. It wasn't out in a rural area but was actually right in town. As of Summer, 2021, it was still there.

    I never saw it or heard about it.

    I did hear about a mural that showed Trump kissing Putin, though....
