President Joe Biden

Really? I was cautiously optimistic when he was elected (he was saying all the right things), but he's been a huge disappointment so far, and appears to be more interested in celebrity culture than anything else. Comes across as another "out of touch" politician despite his claims of being a blue collar guy. For him to claim he "was shocked at how bad this place is", is very troubling. What has he done to address the crime problem so far? Wearing a $2,000 tux that says "stop gun crime" doesn't count. It's still early, so I will give him an "incomplete" at this point.

Now in his defense, he's severely hamstrung by DA Bragg. Until New Yorker's get a clue and get rid of Bragg, NYC is going to continue to go down the toilet.

WTF?

Bodega worker in Rikers on murder charge after stabbing attacker in self-defense

A hard-working Manhattan bodega clerk who was forced to grab a knife to fend off a violent ex-con, now finds himself sitting behind bars at the notorious Rikers Island jail charged with murder and unable to post $250,000 bail.

The sky-high bail for Jose Alba — who has no known criminal history — was just half of what controversial Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office demanded, despite surveillance video showing the clerk being assaulted by his alleged victim in the bodega.

Alba, 51, was charged with the fatal stabbing of Austin Simon, 34, who can be seen storming behind the counter at the Hamilton Heights Grocery on Broadway and West 139th Street to attack the store worker Friday night.

“It was either him or the guy at the moment,” Alba’s daughter Yulissa told The Post Wednesday, saying it was a case of self-defense.

“He’s never hurt anybody. He’s never had an altercation where he had to defend himself. This is the first time for him.”

Yep, Bragg is obvious as to his intentions to coddle criminals under the guise of social justice. Just another shill for Soros.

I think the fact he is a former cop it makes him a strong candidate against the attacks of defund the police

not sure what he is doing to help with the crime in NYC though

“Defund the police” one day in time a few years ago wants its catch phrase back! LOL!

Disappointment? On crime he has yet to make a decisive move that fixes the problem and will propel his career on the national stage.
But all the street sign post are being painted and the trash picked up.

First of all I want to see this lady debate Trump. But also aside from Ron DeSantas, she would have to be the only other Republican I see as capable of being president. So... I'm pulling for her to run for president.

Hate to burst your bubble, but Kamala couldn't get out of a primary. What did she get last time, something like 3%? If she gets anything higher than that in 2024 that would mean Hilary, Bernie and Joe must be running.

You're not bursting my bubble...but if we're wishing, why not?
Kamala is the VP and seemingly the next in line....
The Dems won't nominate Joe or Bernie...Hilary has almost as much baggage as Trump...so I can't imagine them being nominated...

I was thinking Liz and Gavin.

If I were betting, I'd put money on Gavin winning the Dem nomination. I hate to say if I was betting right now who I'd wager on for the R nomination. Wanting and wagering are two different things.

To match D's picking R candidates like Cheney and Kinzinger, the equivalent would R's wanting Tulsi as the D nominee...or I guess you could argue Manchin or Sinema. I think most are in favor of more moderate candidates it just ain't gonna happen.

My long-term desire is not for more moderate candidates, but for more independent candidates. Being tied to a major political party puts a candidate in debt to the desires of the big-money contributors. Thanks to the modern communications advances, spreading a candidate's message does not have to be expensive, at least not as expensive as in the past. A few well-written tweets or youtube videos can reach every American voter.

Theoretically possible, but I don't know about in reality, although Perot did beat Bill in Utah. ;)
