3rd party candidates are great. It's a way for voters to show their displeasure with the two major parties.

And that's why you're going to vote against Trump for bribing RFK Junior into dropping out, right?
Donald Trump said [...] he would "certainly" be open to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. playing a role in his administration if the independent candidate drops out of the 2024 race and endorses the former president.

Putin Renews Warning to NATO Over Ukraine Missiles
"China's final warning" is a Russian ironic idiom originating from the Soviet Union that refers to a warning that carries no real consequences.

Great! Sounds like Iran got everything it wanted. I imagine Ayatollah Ashahollah has come out of hiding since Israel is no longer to be feared. ("Iran's Supreme Leader 'in hiding' as 200 missiles fired at Israel in chilling warning" www.msn.com)
"Iran's supreme leader says Israel's attack 'should not be exaggerated nor downplayed,' without calling for retaliation"
abcnews.go.com
Seems like Iran is more reluctant to risk Iranian lives than Palestinian lives. Shocking how Iran can engage in strategic thinking like that when it's their own skin in the game, unlike when it ordered Palestinian Isis to rape and murder 1,400 Israeli civilian men, women, and children.

You seem very troubled by this.
Were you equally troubled by Trump's turnover rate four years ago? Or is this more pearl-clutching over Kamala when you wouldn't give two figs over Trump engaging in similar behavior?
Like when you expressed concern over Kamala being an alleged liar, but apparently Trump gets a pass.
Trump's false or misleading claims total 30,573 over 4 years
On Nov. 2 alone, the day before the 2020 vote, Trump made 503 false or misleading claims as he barnstormed across the country in a desperate effort to win reelection

Even the jurors said she wasn't raped.But somehow the judge found that she was raped. In the very quote from the judicial opinion that I copy/pasted. As the article notes "US District Judge Lewis Kaplan, who presided over the trial, wrote that the trial evidence demonstrated Trump "raped" Carroll in the plain sense of the word."

But I guess we can rely upon Trump's testimony in court to refute that. Oh, what's that? He refused to testify at that trial, like he always refuses to testify at his trials? That's weird. I heard something about people who do that, but I can't remember ...
Donald Trump Pleads the Fifth After Saying Only Guilty People DoIf you don't think what Trump did to E. Jean Carroll was rape, that's fine. Would be terrible if you or someone you care about is ever "not raped" the same way.

LMAO No rape occurred. Even E Jean admitted that. What were you saying about lies again?

Donald Trump raped E. Jean Carroll even though he was found liable only for 'sexual abuse,' judge rules
In an opinion issued on Wednesday, US District Judge Lewis Kaplan, who presided over the trial, wrote that the trial evidence demonstrated Trump "raped" Carroll in the plain sense of the word.
"The finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was 'raped' within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump 'raped' her as many people commonly understand the word 'rape,'" Kaplan wrote. "Indeed, as the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that."

A largely symbolic attack.
Yes. Other than for those two dead Iranian soldiers.
Iran's last missile barrage has changed the balance of power in the ME
How so? Seems that Iran's attack was also symbolic, although unintentionally so, other than for that Palestinian Iran killed ("Gazan buried as only known victim of Iranian barrage against Israel" www.reuters.com) much to everyone's amusement.
And that's why Israel no longer exists, Palestinians have their homeland (much to the chagrin of Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon), Sinwar and Nasrallah popped back above ground bereft of their 72 virgins, and 50,000 Palestinians were resurrected.
and Israel now cannot act without full US support.

Yep. And that's why Iran is ... doing what, exactly?
#2 Would you vote a Trump/Stein ticket?
#3 | Posted by gracieamazed
Sure! Maybe appoint RFK Junior surgeon general, Cornel West attorney general, and Ayatollah Ashahollah secretary of defense while we're at it.
Roll up those sleeves people and elect Trump/Stein 2024! Our kakistocracy isn't going to build itself.
