I think jeolousy weighs in a lot. He's got everything they don't: Power, money, influence - many of the signs most people attribute to "success". And for now he is calling the shots and they have to take them. Reality sucks sometimes.

May I offer some friendly advice? Disconnect for a day or two. It might help improve your mood.

And there are far less successful people than Trump to fixate on. Unless, of course its just jealousy.

Sounds autistic to me.

And despite all his faults, Trump is one of the most successful Americans in history. Reconcile that.

Once I made nearly every investing mistake in the book, I did - twice. Once in Berkshire, the other in my own businesses. Both worked very well.

Blake, that is a sensible approach. But it is important to recognize that the investing part is what will make the largest difference in the long run.

Agreed.

Yeah, did we stop making them?

I dunno, Border Security and The Abraham Accords are but two examples that transcend Presidential terms separated by Democratic chaos. And in the infamous words of Gene Wilder playing one of my favorite all time movie characters, Willy Wonka, "So much to do, so little time". Didn't realize how popular Weekend at Bernies really is with the Left but a burial is always required unless you prefer corpses to remain on top of the ground.

No tuition charge for you, Cubs!

Never said you did. And I agree- name calling is childish.

Lately a lot of big money names like Florida. I wonder why..... could it be complete rejection of left-wing nonsense? Maybe we should start charging admission to more than just theme parks. Double for those who identify as non-gendered and triple for those without ID. Call it a tuition expense.

Kind of like "Orange Man"?

Chatbots are entertaining.

LOL, the US didn't start any wars. Your comments evoke a comical image of the US saying F-U to everyone but China, the ally we really need and want for the long run. Meanwhile if any country wants to forego assistance from the US they would likely receive little in the way of pushback. Let us know when that happens.

Look no further than the Middle East. And if you believe allies have been lost, watch them go it on their own - could be quite a show.

So true. Look at the UN - it took Arab countries being bombed by Iran for 135 countries to finally sanction Iran after 5 decades. Never mind that they have been arming terrorists for the entire duration and given a free pass. The most useless organization of all revealing its true colors once again.

I guess that helps explain Biden?

He's never held accountable? He's been held more accountable than any politician in history, especially given his short time in politics. Don't mistake overcoming and prevailing with being held accountable. Prosecutors, judges, juries and the electorate hold him accountable. Admit it, you just don't like the outcome.

They value their own lives and aren't willing to die for "the cause". Ideology can be blinding.

No allies have been lost. In fact they are being gained by the day. And as for relinquishing power through less welfare, it's called growing up and personal responsibility by the rest of the World. Unless you are one of those parents who has to support your no-good kids for their adult lives, you're happy to "relinquish" such "power".

Oh, you mean paying disproportionately for everyone else's benefit? How about the usual metrics like GDP, crime statistics, border security, return to capitalism, military strength and zeal?

By what measure?

I think the issue here is much more clear cut. Liberals want to focus on essentially one person - all day every day. Conservatives, at least for the most part want to discuss policies.
