    I think Pat Paulson would have made a better president than this buffoon.

    I don't know enough about him to decide on it. I know I would like someone with administrative and legislative skills.

    Dwayne is the only professional wrestler in the country that could take on Donald Duck, and make the entire republican party shit a brick! He's all business, and is no stranger to business, and could easily redefine American politics.

    The Legacy of Jim Jones and the Cult of Donald Trump

    The Legacy of Jim Jones and the Cult of Donald Trump

    excerpt:

    "Forty years after the Jonestown tragedy it remains a devastating reminder of the dark side of devotion. Hundreds of people died by consuming cyanide-laced Flavor-Aid, receiving an injection — many against their will — or, as in the case of Jim Jones, gunshot. But the Flavor-Aid wasn’t the only toxic mix on the compound. Jim Jones’s paranoia and narcissism, control over his followers, and their attraction to his ideology set the stage for the tragedy.

    The extraordinary loss and unusual circumstances at Jonestown can make it seem anomalous. But the massacre is evidence of the ways people can be manipulated when their vulnerabilities, biases, and fears are exploited.

    Jim Jones was persuasive, paranoid, and power-hungry. He thrived on attention, adoration, and adulation. He had a complicated relationship with his father, groomed his children to take over the family business, plotted against his enemies, held grudges, and cheated on his wife. He was equal parts bully and charmer. Sound familiar?

    If you are among the majority of Americans displeased with the Trump administration, you might see similarities between Jim Jones and the President. For the “resisters,” Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric, reactionary policies, and racist dog-whistles go beyond typical partisan divide. And the unwavering devotion of his base can mirror a cult mentality."

    The Legacy of Jim Jones and the Cult of Donald Trump

    excerpt:

    "Some believe the isolation of the White House agitates President Trump and see him growing increasingly erratic, paranoid, and controlling. He prefers campaign-style rallies with his supporters over the day-to-day work of the executive branch. And many see his base growing increasingly emboldened, inspired by his angry speeches, and willing to act on his violent rhetoric.

    Likewise, Stephan Jones claims his father became increasingly erratic, paranoid, and controlling, and his undoing came, in part, due to the isolation of the compound. Living in Jonestown meant there were no new people to recruit. Without the high from wooing new followers, Jim Jones grew more reliant on drugs. But according to Stephan, Jim Jones’s “number one drug was adulation.”

    Perhaps Trump is like any other President, with enemies, resistors, and over-the-top supporters. But Stephan Jones believes the similarities between his father and Donald Trump should be enough to convince concerned people to speak up. Mr. Jones said, “I feel like Jonestown and even Hitler’s Germany could not have happened had, early on, people found their voice.”"

    If a quarter of the country is a cult, then we should start handing out Kool Aide, before they destroy the whole country.

    Bolsonaro's empty statements are similar to those of Trump who said the coronavirus affects virtually no one.


    Brazil sets record daily COVID-19 death toll, Senate to probe Bolsonaro government's response

    excerpts:

    "Brazil is nearing the single-day record that the United States registered on Jan. 20 of 4,405 deaths, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Brazil’s outbreak is spiraling out of control, with vaccines in short supply and Bolsonaro fighting lockdowns."


    “Let’s not cry over spilled milk. We’re still going through a pandemic that, in part, is being used politically - not to defeat the virus but to bring down the president,” Bolsonaro said in a public address on Wednesday. “In what country on earth do people not die? Unfortunately, people die everywhere.”

    Man, all these guys (Trump, Bolsonaro) had to do is at least ACT like they give a shit about people- and they would (in my eyes) be successful politicians.

    OK, I can accept that but know well we need a man or woman who can tackle other important parts of the job, such as dealing with leaders of other nations, and making economic decisions. I voted for Obama twice, because of his college education. I knew he could get the job done. I also voted for him because of his Muslim name.

    Dwayne is not just another pretty face, he's the highest paid actor in Hollywood and produces his own movies. Think the Terminator, but with a brain.

    Look, we just got through 4 years of a President with no political experience, let's not elect another one. I'm sure The Rock would make a better President than The Orange, but that's not saying much at all.

    The Rock is a nice guy... Good family man, helps others in need, stuff like that. But, that doesn't make him presidential material.

    A quarter of the damned population insists the sun revolves around the earth. Professional Wrestling is as good as it gets, and you might as well beg a rabid squirrel to act sane.

    He's black, has enormous self-confidence, and is just what the doctor ordered to make the republican party shit a brick. We don't need a book keeper, we need someone who can trash the republican party so bad they'll never recover. Biden can play crosswalk guard.
