This is beyond sick. Kristi Noem shot and killed the family's 14-month puppy because it couldn't be trained

204. I use to wonder that too. No more.

The way that Trump can get so many votes after all he has done, and the way he gets such emotional support has shown me how.

Throw in some untimely inflation, or credit crisis, and a suspect person gets elected.

The first time with Trump, it was due to his persona as a celebrity executive.
The allure of a businessman for a leader instead of a politician.

So, there are multiple ways to get one elected. And even when they are somewhat known, like Trump is, their charisma and populist type propaganda can get them across the line when given a little help from unfortunate fate.

There does not seem to be a way to make democracy a sure thing.
There does not seem to be a way to make peace or kindness a sure thing.

I agree, there's no mystery left!
