Of course you will be alive "much" longer. After all we have the cleanest water, air and coal in the history of history because Donny made it happen. Soon you will have the greatest health care in the history of history. Donny said last week it will be available in a few days. So maybe during his 4th of July KKKlan rally he will let us see it. MAGA. Thank you God for sending the Donald. God be blessin, the United Staaaash!

If I were to vote in a presidential

Guess you don't eat Doritos now either. Funtatlaguy Jun 2019 #81
I never did like Doritos. Original Fritos for me, stoned or sober. MineralMan Jun 2019 #84
Dude, you gotta use the scoops Fritos for dipping. Funtatlaguy Jun 2019 #86
Not for that can of bean dip. You scoop too much. MineralMan Jun 2019 #88
OMG, you are bossy...bet you were picked last for dodgeball. Lol Funtatlaguy Jun 2019 #89
Just my personal preference. MineralMan Jun 2019 #90
Love Rebl2 Jun 2019 #123
I know. I rarely eat them now. MineralMan Jun 2019 #124
What is that, a cilantro leaf? Presentation is everything! Beartracks Jun 2019 #126
I think so. I just ate it out of the can, MineralMan Jun 2019 #132
As it should be. Beartracks Jun 2019 #134

Sure. If we select a nominee for President who cannot MineralMan Jun 2019 #8
Thanks. I appreciate your post. Politicub Jun 2019 #9
We also need a Democratic Congress desperately. MineralMan Jun 2019 #11
Another area in which we agree! Politicub Jun 2019 #15
Yes-in-deedly-dee! calimary Jun 2019 #109

I don't think there's only one person who can beat Trump- dawg day Jun 2019 #22
No Offense, but that isn't very blunt. bluewater Jun 2019 #23
Well, Biden, Warren, or Harris, for example, could work. MineralMan Jun 2019 #37
Thanks for being forthright bluewater Jun 2019 #43
Yes he was caraher Jun 2019 #46
Yes, thanks bluewater Jun 2019 #49
Harris was under 10% until this weekend. It's still early. (n/t) thesquanderer Jun 2019 #47
That is a valid point. bluewater Jun 2019 #54
I really want the wee fucker to be beaten by a woman. dixiegrrrrl Jun 2019 #144

Not at all. MineralMan Jun 2019 #33
re: "Anyone the Republicans can hang a 'Socialist' sign on will not win. And that's a fact." thesquanderer Jun 2019 #42
The label did not stick to Obama. MineralMan Jun 2019 #45
I know a Republican who likes Biden who still thinks Obama is a socialist. thesquanderer Jun 2019 #48
Well, I don't worry much about what Republican voters think. MineralMan Jun 2019 #56
They're not going to call anyone a socialist. Mr.Bill Jun 2019 #68
so everyone then qazplm135 Jun 2019 #62
re: "she lost in three states we had no business losing. I know why. You know why." thesquanderer Jun 2019 #38
There was much anti-Clinton and anti-Bush sentiment in 2016 MarcA Jun 2019 #82
True. There was specific "anti-dynasty" sentiment as well as general "anti-establishment" sentiment, thesquanderer Jun 2019 #85
Hillary lost because of the Russians. Full stop. stopbush Jun 2019 #50
Yes, that was a major part of it. MineralMan Jun 2019 #58
