I don’t support Richard Grenell. I don’t mind that he’s a Republican. In fact, we need to have gay people in as many political parties as possible because it effects positive change in the long run. But I strongly disagree with Grenell's stance on Middle Eastern politics.

And yes, Trump opposed gay marriage until he stopped caring about the issue around 2016. Who cares? Gay marriage is legal all over America, it’s done, let’s move on and focus on dropping the T, then banning conversion therapy on gay, lesbian and bisexual teenagers. But Trump was bad for a lot of other reasons, and chief among them was the fact that Trump has never stood up for his supporters, so why stand up for Trump? In fact, why argue over him at all? Grenell should just focus on running for governorship and defeating both Newsome and Jenner. At least Grenell is not trying to pretend he’s something that he’s not.

Trump was bad for a lot of other reasons

Orange man bad, huh? Yawn. You know, twenty years ago, the Congressional Budget Office forecast that the national debt could be paid off by 2010. Economists argued in magazines and newspaper editorials over whether this would be a good thing for the economy.

Now it's more than $28 trillion. Some predict that it could reach $90 trillion by the end of the decade. Joe Biden has supported every boneheaded decision that got us on this unsustainable path. From his active participation in creating the WMD narrative that was used to justify the ruinous war in Iraq, to the Obama administration's protection of the banks and bankers (we still don't even know how many trillions they actually printed) while millions of families were evicted from their homes and lost everything. His support for normalizing trade relations with China that resulted in millions of jobs lost and plunged once-prosperous small towns, like mine, into poverty and mass unemployment. Real median household income in the USA peaked in 1999 and didn't exceed that level until near the end of the Obama/Biden administration.

So, the orange man was bad compared to that?

This is a bit off topic from Dropping the T, but USA has stagflation coming. Hyperinflation for sure, but then probably stagflation. I loathe Biden for so many reasons. Now he's running up the debt, inflating the money supply (inflation is up up up), AND always praising Trans Hell. He's all in for Newsom too -- the sleaze who signed the Wiener bill to put men in women's prisons.

I sure wish GOP in California at least would get over any homophobia and get behind Grenell (IF he's running -- he posts a lot on twitter about California specifically and he does have a home in Rancho Mirage) -- Seems like when the Democrats promote anyone gay, it's to score points. It would be nice for the GOP to get behind Grenell and not even mention he has a husband -- yeah, so? Some men do. Just normalize that for GOP voters and focus on fixing California.

In theory, a Governor Grenell could overturn the men in women's prisons bill, and thus show a gay man dropping the T. Sure love to see more of that happening.

Grenell might be a good governor of California. Definitely better than Jenner, for obvious reasons. And of course, Jenner would be better than Newsome.

Yeah, Biden sucks. It’s a shame that the media in my country worships him. Yeah, Biden's not Trump, but in what way is he better than Trump?
