My ex-supporter friend still hates Trump.

Do I smell a schism in the Republican party?

[delphonso]

More likely a "Squad" group of /real/ Republicans who believe in real freedom (read, White Supremecy) within the party seen as resisting the establishment Republicans but still gathering votes.

Cruz is Right AOC.

[LordBaal]

I predict Trump's health, mental or otherwise, is going to start tanking in the next couple of years.

This always seems to happen with all your presidents. Omaba seemengly aged like in dog years, more so in the second term. At the end while 8 years passed in real time, oval office time droped like 30 on his face.

[Frumple]

Part of that has to do with actually trying to do the job, though, instead of fucking off to golf every two or three days or whatever.

[voliol]

Part of the reason Harris has a chance of becoming the first female president even before 2024. If Biden is supposed to age twice or thrice as fast he'll be nearly 90 come 2024.

Yeah but the Americans don't have a control group. They ought to elect someone in their 30s-40s and see if they look like the raiders of the lost ark scene after 4 years for reference

[Frumple]

See, if you hadn't included that 40s it would have worked better. Both Obama and Clinton were in their 40s when elected

[LordBaal]

And got out of office looking like late mid 50's or very healthy early 60's.

Dunno about Trump but it does seems a lot older too.

Jesus, the White House really is that cursed

[nenjin]

No, being responsible for Americans is that cursed.

[Lord Shonus]

The United States is a nuclear-capable superpower with a dominant economic, political, and military position on the world stage. A Presidential fuckup could result in a famine that kills millions or a war that kills billions. This is before you deal with the domestic realities of trying to shepherd around 400 million contrary and stubborn Americans around, plus 51+ subordinate governments and a whole bunch of possessions.

The wonder isn't that the job ages people massively - the wonder is that anybody actually trying to do the job doesn't leave it feet-first.

Well we did.
But it was too much of a mind-blowing experience for him

I mean, yeah, now that you mention it, if something goes really goddamn weird in the next few years and I end up POTUS, having a water slide installed on wherever you finally leave office from sounds like an amazing idea.

... actually thinking on it, also having, like, a jungle gym obstacle course installed in front of the oval office and meeting rooms and such also sounds great. Learn to clamber or send your grandkids to jabber, old people.

Tammy Duckworth says no

[Frumple]

I'd bet money tammy could clear the monkey bars

... or... whatever those dome things are actually called. Just realized I don't know if they have another name.

More seriously there could be a second entrance for folks that actually have trouble along those lines, or I could just go to them instead. The rest of them climb!
