Trump’s been sued so many times and run companies into the ground yet walked out of the wreckage every time. Is he a good person? I don’t think so but he is absolutely a businessman. These sort of people can have lawsuits, the cops, ex wives, ex business partners, shakedown artists chasing them and they’re unfazed. Trump is tenacious, he’s smoother than a gravy sandwich, he has many desirable leadership qualities… I can’t believe I just wrote that but it’s true

I do not see the inane meanness in bidden that I see in trump. I will be honest, I guess I have to look up (and wonder why) to anybody dumb enough to take that job. Since I retired, I have been running away from responsibility or commitments. I wouldn't survive the lime light or want it. I would however vote for a tin can before I would vote for trump. I lived though his first term and figure I would a second unless smoking killed me but would never volunteer for it. Biden is no trump, thank god.

In my opinion Biden is a corrupt, war mongering neo con liar who is dangerous not only for the U.S. but the entire world

Only because he doesn’t play the Washington game.
I tell you who I do like is Dennis Kucinich, and I like a lot of what RFK jnr has to say, he seems reasonable even though his views on Israel are worrying. I think he’d be able to do a lot of good and he’s open to having his views changed, even when it comes to issues like Israel.

Perhaps I am too far gone with a bit of a hate on right now. I have a few times in my life voted republican but am giving them no break now cause they tried to steal from me and they protected trump and tried to help him steal from me. Trump says we should get rid of the constitution. He should be disqualified for that alone. The republicans got rid of their political platform and decided it was just to support trump and they did this officially at the last republican presidential convention. I was not super familiar with JFK jr but he went before the republican house committee as a witness and I have written him out of my book of life. I could name a few other reasons but typing is too hard for all that.
I see all your guitars in your picture are electric. What genre music do you like playing most?
PS Trump can't play the Washington game cause he doesn't know it. He is the dumbest president I have lived through and got a job he can not do. He thinks he knows everything but knows almost no history and his thinking he's smart is the most dangerous thing about him.

All valid reasons to not like Trump 
Genre? Rock and roll all the way baby I jam with a friend and his son, last jam we played some AC/DC, Powder Finger, Danzig, Pink Floyd, Led Zep, the Stones, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, stuff like that, but I’ll play acoustic songs on the Tele too.
So many Led Zep songs start out acoustic and end up with an electric at full noise, so we need to compromise hey. What are you working on these days?

Trump said he'll only pay his taxes when the system makes him, and that he's smart to use the loopholes allowed. Trump university was just marketing.
Art is interpretive, and the art of the deal shows that having failed businesses isn't a mark of the man.
Money talks. Trump is good at showboating.
He has a gravy smooth surface alright.
Like gravy off a ducks back.

The Georgia prosecutor has warned trump she is going to sue him for defamation if he doesn’t retract his claim that she had an affair with a gang member.

I only half purposely take threads off topic. If it is offending, I apologize. I have a cheap electric but just use it unplugged for practice quiet enough to still hear the tv. Plus the fret board feels a little different and I figure that could be helpful. Mostly acoustic even if trying rock. My rock is more like Amie or since you been gone. I do try and play rolling stones wild one. Some cat Stevens though I am not up to speed on the piano parts that I try and pick with a pick cause the finger picking is not as clear. A whole bunch of old stuff Sweet Caroline and such. Some country like strawberry whine or you gonna miss me when I gone (B&D) I know some of the licks for a little lynard skinnard but no leads and believe it of not the strums on those screw me up.. I have quite a few song put to memory but when ask to play get blank spots on which songs I even know..
I have no imagination an can not come up with strums that sound right on my own and so just try and plagiarize by looking at ten of the same song lesson on you tube and combining what I like from them and just doing it over and over till I get it close.
I should be so much better then I am but almost always play alone and have played a few times with guys that are good and it always lets me know how lacking I really am. Better then three years ago but not as good as I should be since I have tons of ten hour days of playing over them three years cause it is all I do. I probably average at least 3 hours 7 days a week (retired) and I suck if that were counted as normal for somebody with a little natural skill. Oh yea, My guitar is a cheap acoustic. Sorry for the book

Sounds exactly the same as Kerry Packer when he murdered a room full of Senators with words when he fronted a Senate enquiry. I was just out of hospital at the time and turned over to the ABC by chance and watched the whole thing, Packer brutalised them. This is only a short clip with his comment on taxation at the end. If you get the chance to watch the whole thing one day I recommend it.

Front page of the Australian Citizens Party weekly Alert.
This is how they fund the party, with these weekly newsletters, no corporate backing, zero, it’s funded by everyday Australians 👍

Ahh you align with the Citizens Party? Sounds right up your alley - they're the people who believe that climate change and indigenous land rights movements in Australia are a conspiracy master minded by Prince Phillip as a plot to depopulate the planet calling it a "Hitler-Nazi race science"

The guy decrying Nazis in Ukraine is a Nazi?
 
Rereading that it seems the citizens party think indigenous rights is the Nazi conspiracy. Now I'm really fucking confused

Can you quote the article/s you’re talking about, before the idiotic posts, like the one above, get out of hand.

I don't know anything about Australian politics, but given that you're a sucker for propaganda and have aligned yourself with hardcore Neo-Nazis in Ukraine guilty of massacring thousands of their own nation's citizens since 2014, you aren't exactly a good judge of things like this and your opinions should definitely be taken with (less than) a grain of salt.

I think Russia has volunteered to kill thousands of Ukrainian citizens since 2014.
