Georgia Fisanick,

Are you buying into the Biden administration's weaponized partisan conspiracy theory about Trump?

Please understand that I will never vote for Trump, but I think that Biden is even worse.

I have shared my own thoughts on Trump's Jan. 6 indictment here:

Lol. You may want to actually read the indictment. From this nonsensical comment it’s obvious you’ve not bothered.

I’m curious, John, why will you never vote for Trump?

It was the Billy Bush tape, with Trump's "locker room talk."

Never.

So, no policy disagreements? The “grabbing” issue is paramount in your mind? Or, do you suspect that the “locker room talk” comment was a lie? (You know that it is not illegal to lie, right, John?)

Paul,

At the time I had already decided that I could never again vote for blood-soaked Hillary, the Butcher of Libya, who pressured a reluctant Obama to go far beyond the U.N. mandate and break the country with regime change, creating an ongoing festering wound out of the country that had once been the financial pillar of the African Union.

In 2020, I supported Tulsi Gabbard, who condemned Hillary as the "corrupt queen of the war-mongers."

AMEN!

So, no policy disagreements with Trump? Just “grabbing”?

Paul,

My way of assessing who I might vote for is to first assess character. With Trump as a candidate, I never got to the point of examining his policy proposals, because he flunked my character test.

This time around, I will never vote for Joe "Penis Finger" Biden (also known as "Creepy Snuggles").

I am inclined to be cautiously hopeful about RFK's character, but it's still early and I won't be focused on the upcoming primaries for quite a while.

Even the New York Post has published warnings about RFK Jr.’s womanizing.

I’m not acquainted with your definition of good character, but given your aversion to Trumpian “grabbing” brags…. Just sayin’

I haven't looked into it, but is womanizing not different from exploiting?

EDIT: I found this, which sours me on RFK:

And, just to add a bit of reality, John:

“Reporting” on a person’s character - be it Trump, Biden, RFK Jr. - etc. can be a bit subjective. You seem to have reflected on Trump’s Access Hollywood tape as a “No No” moment (although when asked by me specifically if his claim of “locker room talk” was your objection or if it was the “grabbing” which has been - in one case - adjudicated, i. e., E. Jean Carroll). You also “report” on Joe Biden’s “finger.” And now, upon seeing the New Republic article (and I pointed out a New York Post article) about RFK - you became “soured.” And yes, CHARACTER is very important when it comes to Leaders - in government, in business, and in “ordinary” life. However, policy - political, business, etc. - can be studied and tracked and analyzed over many years/decades. Take New Deal type economics and Trickle Down economics. Two different approaches - two different outcomes have emerged over the decades. Which economic POLICY do you believe is the best for the entire USA?

Paul,

Your condescending tone is not appreciated.

If you choose to believe Tara Reade, then what Joe Biden did to her ("penis finger") was worse than Trump's grabbing, because it involved penetration.

I responded to your question about economic policy here:
