That's ok - we let grown up morons like you vote, too. What makes you or GoldenOnenote more qualified to vote than a 16 year old? Many of the 16 year olds I know are far smarter and thoughtful than you.

I care more about what the youth have to say because they have to live with the results for the next 60 years. The 75+ crowd (no offense) just don't have that many years left and their generations have had plenty of opportunity to weigh in on the direction of our country. They are essentially holding us hostage with their disproportionate influence. They have no incentive to be forward thinking and they are ripe subjects for deceptive candidates. There is a reason so many consumer scams target the elderly. Just look at cable news commercials and tell me if you think the people falling for those scams should be deciding the fate of our nation.

16-year olds probably won't vote anyway so I'm not sure it makes a difference on that end, but I do worry about the fact that the turnout in our country is highest among the people whose interests are least-aligned with the future of our nation. If the argument is that elderly people are voting for their grand kids, just let the grand kids vote.

Here's a chart showing voter turnout by age - does anyone really think this is good for the country?

Only stakeholders in our society should be allowed to vote. This was the original proposal by many of the founding fathers.

Land owners, property owners, military veterans, etc.

Would foreign born military vets qualify as stake holders? What about foreign born land owners and business owners who are not citizens? What about foreign corporations? Aren't corporations people?

I see the same chart on Charlie Brown's shirt.

Michelle Obama has a podcast too and has experienced racism when white people cut in front of her at the ice cream shop.

Is Michelle Obama racist?

One thing is for sure is that Tim Constantine is a terrible writer and an idiot.

Here is another one of his gems:

Please stop the coronavirus hysteria. Now.

"[T]ake a moment and say a prayer for the 22 lethal victims of coronavirus. "

Well, I took a chance clicking on a Washington Times click

No----Michelle isn't nuts. She just isn't a very pleasant person. I much prefer Diamond & Silk.

And that tells us all we need to know about you.

And the person who cut in front of her in the ice cream line..that woman was Nancy Pelosi.

Forty million American Whites voted for her husband for president of the United States in 2008. It's amazing that Michelle Obama could be part of such a historic event and still only see people by the color of their skin.

By lumping all Whites into one collective category and then further assessing that group as a whole to be racist, Mrs. Obama raises the question of her own biases. Does she see people only by the color of their skin or does she judge each individual person on the content of his character?

---

It's unbelievable that an educated woman like her who has probably met more people around the world than most can think the way she does based on the two examples she gave about cutting in in line for ice cream and someone petting her dog while not looking at her.

I would rather have Diamond & Silk as President and VP rather than a Pres who is a candidate for a nursing home and a VP who slept her way to the top and lies more often than Hillary....

And this the point you have jumped all the way off the ledge.

my point was that Joe & Kamala are the most preposterous candidates in modern history.

89: Yes---it tells folks that I prefer Diamond & Silk rather than Michelle. Michelle & that other fraud, Barack, deserve each other.

Ok, boomer.

How can you pet a dog and look up at the same time???I don't believe someone intentionally cut in line ahead of Michelle. She is big and strong and angry and would intimidate most ice cream tasters. I don't think she has said one good thing about "white" folks her entire life. she is not a good role model for bringing folks together. like her husband, she is a divider--not a uniter. Race relations deteriorated badly during the reign of Barack. he took every opportunity to disparage whites whenever the opportunity arose. He is 50% white and yet took every opportunity to disparage his white grandmother . He had aterrific opportunity to heal racial and religious divisions and yet chose the opposite path. Made fun of christians and Jews at every opportunity. Promoted Islam at every opportunity. Bashed Israel for 8 years. Tried to interfere in the Israeli election won by Bibi. Apologized for America 24 hours a day for 8 years. Made a sweetheart deal with Iran which hates both the US and Israel. Refused to help Ukraine after it was invaded by Russia. ( gave them night goggles and sandwiches) Directed Lois Lerner at the IRS to harass conservative groups and donors to ensure his re-election in 2012. Directed the DOJ and the FBI to take down a sitting President . Please see the IG report. Please see the un redacted e-mails and documents. Please see all the DOJ and FBI employees under Obama who have either been fired, demoted or re-assigned. Honest historians will have a field day with this fraud.

Look at me, I wrote words.

Dear Blun You are obviously young. You use a comma as often as you discard tissue paper. That's called a "tell." Nothing wrong with being young, but, if you were never taught proper grammar it becomes more difficult to digest and elucidate thought. Do, you, see, what, I, mean,?

You, of all the right wing morons on this site, calling someone on their grammar, is the very definition of lacking self awareness.

I'd say "the pot calling the kettle black", but you would likely make some stupid racist comment. Cuz that's how you old racist dudes roll.

She opens her mouth in a podcast setting where she's free to say whatever's on her mind and lo and behold, some crazy things come out.

Dear 89; Hello-----I used all those commas to illustrate the absurdity of young folks automatically using commas in inappropriate places during a sentence. My deceased hamster understood my intent, but, you did not. Please detail your life as an educator. Did you teach Drivers ed?

You have a long and extensive history of confused syntax, incorrect punctuation, and bad writing. Your posts lack nuance and clarity. Keep trying: one of these days you will write like a big boy.

Do her words have real power behind them ?

Michelle Obama Calls on Big Tech to Ban Donald Trump



Michelle the authoritarian makes the communists go wild.
