They already know he's a racist, so there is no need to get upset. They are just oppotunitists trying to use him the same way he uses them.  

Not sure what racism has to do with court rulings Lee.

I didn't know we were talking about court rulings.  I thought we were talking about people that didn't get chosen for cabint positions.   

I think racism has a lot to do with court rulings, but that's another argument apparently.

There is little doubt in my mind that Trump tried to cheat.  He has cheated at everything his entire life.  He has cheated his customers and contractors.  He has cheated on all his wives,  He's a tax cheat.  I could go on.  However, I don't believe his cheating was enough to turn the election.  Unlike MAGAs, I believe in democracy and the rule of law and I need very strong evidence in order to assert that an election was stolen.   

Other than that, he's quite a fine human being.

BREAKING 

President-elect Trump says he intends on nominating Dr. Oz to serve as CMS Administrator. 

As CMS Administrator, Dr. Oz will oversee Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). 

These programs provide healthcare to over 100 million Americans.

What a joke... another teevee nomination

Anyone else noticing that his nominations seem to lean towards people who have MEDIA  presence & saavy?  
Not subject expertise.
 

Only the best.

And that's not idle political forum speculation—that was their actual goal!

https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/14/politics/trump-controversial-cabinet-picks/index.html

Trump’s latest round of Cabinet announcements stunned much of Washington. But the hair-raising nature of Trump’s picks was intended to be a feature, not a bug, say people briefed by the team.

“People being in a state of shock was the goal, that’s exactly what the MAGA gang wants,” said one Trump ally, requesting anonymity to discuss private deliberations with the president-elect’s team. “They want people who are a total challenge to the system.”

Clowns to the left of us, jokers to the right. Here we are, all getting screwed

Mrs McMahon…. Vince’s wife is in the running for Education.  I mean… par for the course.

1) It really isn't shocking at all tho

2) I'm not doing four more years of anonymous Trump ally's backfilling an explanation for taking certain actions and taking it at face value

RFK Jr. and Republicans want to ban Diet Coke.

I'm all on board with that one. And that's an issue that sure would've driven my vote --  if only I'd known.

I think that's how Democrats need to start campaigning. It clearly effective.

Isn't Diet Coke Trump's drink of choice. I seem to remember him drinking about 12 bottles a day last time he was in the White House. He even had a button on the Resolute Desk to summon someone to bring him a drink

As long as they don’t ban my Coke Zero…

Water is your friend!   Water is life!

( not the bottled stuff…. you need all those chemicals in your tapwater. Lol. Better living through chemistry.) 😁

all kidding aside, get used to drinking water. It’s so much better for you than any of those other drinks.

For the first time in my life, I quit sodas a couple of weeks ago. So far, so good. I did love my Coke Zero though. Now I need to slow down on the caffeinated coffee. I’ve got a concoction of really good caffeinated coffee with so-so decaf going right now. Hard to find a good tasting decaf.
Yes, water is the best. I’m doing pretty well with that too. Every now and then I do indulge in a sugar free Powerade.

I quit pop about 10 years ago. I first gave up coke then diet.  I lost more weight when I quit diet. Was totally addicted. I would get a 20 ounce after lunch and would feel the sensation immediately.  More so than any booze or cigarette ever did.  
 

the only time now I ever have it would be in a mixed drink at a wedding or whatever. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Republicans always bitch about how Democrats are going to take away beef or whatever. RFK Jr. is literally about to wage war on Diet Coke and they're alright with it apparently. I remember when they freaked out over Michelle Obama's attempts to make school lunches healthier. That was communist or something.
