Jasmine is the gift that keeps on giving!
I think it’s either Newsom or Shapiro. An aggregate of the betting markets indicates it’s Newsom.
One rather disturbing thing in our modern celebrity culture is that politicians are no longer very famous. Nothing like the kind of super stardom you get with others like say Kanye West or Taylor Swift. This was perhaps why Trump won so easily because he was already famous. If someone as famous as Oprah or John Cena ran I'd bet they'd have a similar advantage. I just don't see that kind of fame in either party now after Trump leaves office. Vice Presidents usually have some advantage, so I could see JD Vance easily getting the GOP nomination in 2028, but after him I don't see much on the horizon. For the Dems it's a vast wasteland of the old, crazy and irrelevant. Used car salesman/reptilian Gavin Newsom could run for President, but he's governed California so piss poorly the voters wouldn't be able to stop laughing at him. He's as incompetent as Joe Biden, but doesn't have dementia to fall back on as an excuse. He'd still do better than Kamala who had to be drunk to avoid pissing herself onstage. On the other hand you have Shapiro who might stand a chance if he wasn't Jewish and his party is increasingly being taken over by Hamas supporters.
I think the person who has the best chances in 2028 is probably someone who's a complete outsider. Someone who's not in politics currently, and who comes out of left field. Much like Obama. Obama was pretty much a nobody, gave a hell of a speech, became a Senator and 4 years later became President. Something like this is what I see as the most likely candidate for 2028. With that being said, it's still far too early. I'm just glad that after two losses in a row, the Dems would have to be nuts to run a woman as their candidate again.
The most amazing thing here is that ANYONE is thinking that far ahead. I'm not even thinking about 2026 yet.
Crockett is the one claiming donors are already lining up behind one specific candidate. John Stossel’s is reporting people are already betting on the 2028 primaries. Podcasters, pundits and reporters across the spectrum are already talking about 2028. If anybody’s out over their skis, it’s them.
In the past, Nicky’s mentioned an affinity for Shapiro of Pennsylvania. I mark him down for Shapiro unless he’s feeling it’s another candidate that Crockett is specifically talking about. BigPapasan, being a Californian, might have a preference for Newsom, but that remains to be seen. It will also be interesting to see who Robert and Jazzy thinks Crockett’s mystery man is.
Get over yourself.
Is fast of a rate that you're going to hell, I wouldn't be thinking of 2026 either.
Oh, well, it's an improvement over the blatant lies he's spewing on another thread today, along with a refusal (or inability) to prove ANY of it.
It would be nice if any of his righty pals would call bullshit on this but, like Republicunts with Trump, they don't have the balls.
makes you look even worse than usual. And that's saying something considering your recent decline into even more abject partisan hackery.
Which candidate do you think Rep Crockett was referring to?
Looks like CKS just schooled you again. As usual.
And yes, tell us Mr pathological liar, what would you so desperately like for my "righty pals" to call me out on? That you are a pathological liar who lives his best imaginary life on a fuk board? Hell man they already know that's true.
Now, David Putty has a message for ickybiden in this clip below.
His constant pathological lying.
His mind-numbing stupidity.
His horrible English composition "skills."
His desperate craving to have the last word.
The list is endless, really
Such as ickybiden. Is they repeat what others say to make it their own. Such as, I remind him he's a pathological liar..... his reply:
To me - "His constant pathological lying"
In his mind, no one sees that.
In reality, everyone sees that but knows he's a liar. He's mad because I'm right.
And.........he's also mad because he's going straight to hell sooner than later.
…do a board search of the word “weasel”. Don’t include any particular username.
It seems The SPOAT does. This is funny since if he really is a whoremonger he's also hell-bound. I guess he knows he'll be OK because his mongering claims are all LIES. Just like everything else he says.
Oh, and Wanker is still a weasel.

For about 5 minutes in my early adulthood I considered myself a Buddhist. I was reading the Buddhist Scriptures and found a pretty remarkable story in it. It's been about 30 years since I've read it, so if I fuck up some details, forgive me. The story told of two princes who came from a remarkable kingdom who decided to leave the palace to go out into the world to grow up and mature by being at one with nature. The princes came upon a starving tiger who was too weak to move. The tiger had given birth to a liter of cubs and they too were starving. One prince decided fuck this tiger and wandered off. The other prince offered himself to the tiger to be eaten. The prince figured it would be better that he alone die than this mother tiger and all her cubs. But momma tiger was too weak to eat him and so he slashed open his arm so the tiger could lick up his blood until she gained enough strength to eat the prince. The story ends by saying the tigers all survived, the prince who sacrificed himself achieved Enlightenment in the next life and for the other prince who fucked off? A hole opened up in the world and swallowed him whole.
Trippy fucking story. But it had a huge impact on me. About the importance of self-sacrifice to achieve a greater good. It also depicted a version of heaven and hell, just explaining those same concepts in a completely different way.
One can have one view of religion, that God or Gods are real, and that they somehow inform mankind of their existence, perhaps in a haphazard way, by which man interrupts poorly, and only gets part of the picture right. Some Christians believe that you can perhaps know a few aspects about God, but you're still missing 99% of the whole picture. I'd say that's certainly possible.
Another view which I'm more amendable to is that there's something about the human psyche that made us prone to religious belief. And if that is the case, then you might expect that even if our religions may vary greatly, they might have the same repeating themes told over and over.
So far, the following votes:
Beshear - 1
Newsom - 1
Shapiro - 1

BigPapasan likes to think of himself as politically astute, especially re California politics. Who does he the the “white boy” is that Crockett was specifically referring to?
