The right of freedom of speech means saying what you feel, never means you’re smart/ intelligent or worth listening to!

Neo @5:33, “He also lives in Massachusetts, so …”
I have lived in upstate NY for 50 years and have always thought the same: that my conservative vote would have zero impact on the state’s election results. This time I’m not so sure. I think NY might be in play, not just the presidential election but also Gillibrand’s US Senate re-election contest and a lot of down ballot contests, if the GOP can come up with some viable candidates and enough money to swing the state. But they have not done any of those in the five decades I’ve been paying attention. I just hope they can see the state is ripe for plucking. I personally am becoming an activist this time around and will be donating both time and money and am looking into becoming an election observer.
But I could be wrong.

Re. #2, in addition to once claiming that he couldn’t reactivate Trump’s border policy without congressional approval, he also accused Trump of being racist over that same policy. Admittedly the Biden border policy will be a very much watered down version so maybe he’s just a bigoted demented old man. Still, it would be nice if his handlers could remember what the big guy has said and done over the years; some of us certainly do. But I suppose his handlers would rather forget most of what he has ever said, and wish we all would too.

I saw the Clapton claptrap yesterday and I was very disappointed in him. He always seemed in interviews to be an intelligent fellow but then I remember he had a meltdown in the mid 1970s saying some very racist things. He was an alcoholic and womanizer who stole George Harrison’s wife (Patti Boyd) and then cheated on her before dumping her. I am sure he and Roger Waters can team up. As someone whom I once met in a bar who worked in the entertainment/sports industry told me 22 years ago “Admire the talent and leave it at that. You think you know these people but you don’t”. Clapton also seems to be a Putin-fanboy.

Geoffrey Britain:

Rhetorical question; has there ever been a great artist who was also a great political thinker?

Ronald Reagan:

Reagan became a star, with Gallup polls placing him "in the top 100 stars" from 1941 to 1942. World War II interrupted the movie stardom that Reagan would never be able to achieve again as Warner Bros. became uncertain about his ability to generate ticket sales.

Maybe not a John Wayne, but better than a lot of Hollywood actors who went WOKE later on...

“Oh well, great artists are not necessarily great political thinkers or good people.” Gringo

Rhetorical question; has there ever been a great artist who was also a great political thinker?

“Celebrities seem to have an inflated opinion of their critical thinking.” physicsguy

Most celebrities have an inflated opinion… of their opinions.

“The United States has become a place where entertainers and professional athletes are mistaken for people of importance. After all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important … so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be ignorant and sub-literate every time he opens his mouth.” Robert A. Heinlein, 1987
