James Buchanan was the only unmarried POTUS. The parallels are very similar to include speculation that he was a switch hitter.😁 Needless to type, Sen. Booker will never be POTUS. Therefore, whatever his proclivities and shenanigans are behind closed doors or in public places, the US won't have a FMOTUS either.🤣 Stop lobbing comedic source material and I'll let it go.😁😎

It's the blessing and curse of using technology to conduct business. Adding insult to injury, they tell us not to write down the passwords. Getting older doesn't increase memory.🤣 Of course, I don't follow rules very well. I've got a digital cheat sheet. I also use a password manager which makes it easier to log into sites I use frequently. Setting up 45 user IDs and passwords would be annoying. Creating a very strong password that can be used anywhere. Remembering one cryptic password is a bit easier than managing several. When asked to update the password in one spot, change it to the new password at the most frequently used sites. Once they implant that chip in folks' fingertips, biometrics will eliminate the need for remembering passwords.🤣😎

It's already been proven several times over that Black folks can hold public offices. Winning is easy. Being effective takes it to another level. Party affiliation is how most politicians get into public office. Catch 22. A supposed billionaire will enrich others unintentionally. Their lips still look greasy from eating butter biscuits, yet, Sen. Tim Scott and Rep. Byron Donalds didn't get positions anywhere in the POTUS OJ administration. Not even chief janitor or head butler at the White House.🤣 Rep. Donalds is running for governor of Florida. Let's see if POTUS OJ endorses and his sidekick puts up money for him to win. It appears that most of our people have accepted the system in one way or another. The only real choice is being able to move away from it. That doesn't necessarily mean leaving the country. Just a matter of finding the *right* spot. I'm supposed to take a trip out of the country soon to check on another spot. Thankfully, I'm set up well enough to weather a storm if sh8t goes sideways here in the US. The current administration is causing enough consternation among its own people to ignore us. 😎

When the Clintons, Gores and everybody else associated with the Democratic machine told the Obamas how many millions of dollars they would stand to get post-POTUS, Michelle got her whole mind right.🤣 Interestingly, white women never have to talk about what they sacrificed in order to support their husbands. It's automatically understood that whatever the white man is doing is more important. For example, Hillary Clinton is just as smart as Bill Clinton. She played her role as as wife and FLOTUS until it was time to shine as a Secretary of State and Senator. Hilary held it down like a G when Bill got hemmed up with that nasty dress.🤣 It really doesn't matter how Sen. Booker chooses to live his life. As Black folks, we accept people regardless of their s8xuality. For that reason, Sen. Booker doesn't have to pretend to have a girlfriend if he's really more like the late Luther Vandross. 😁 Luther sang great love songs. Yet, we knew he didn't want to have anything to do with women other than to compare cosmetics and recipes. We still loved Luther's music. Sen. Booker could very well be celibate or sell a bit. I believe his secret his safe as long as he takes care of his closet, er, closest friends. 🤣😎

POTUS Obama did just fine with FLOTUS Michelle and those two beautiful children running around in the White House. Yeah. He's driven by something different all right. I bet Ms. Lindsey Graham and Pete Booty-juice and the rest of the alphabet soup community know it too.🤣😎

If all you ever knew was Shaka Zula bushmeat and fried monkey with cassava, you would probably feel the same way.🤣 While both China and Russia have ethnic minorities who aren't middle class, they're content with their way of life. Russia only has a 7% poverty rate compared to 11% in the US. Franklin D. Roosevelt served as POTUS from 1933-1945. He didn't have to deal with the pesky stuff....Women's Rights or Civil Rights.😁 All FDR had to do was provide white men with a better quality of life post-depression. World War II helped as well. The US was a lot different during FDR's time. 😎

Booker has been a politician for a long time now. He was mayor Newark, NJ. Surely, there was no shortage of snatch box thrown at the yella fella. He probably ran away from it screaming...ewww. Yuck.🤣 That dude's chick file is flimsy and his actions are suspect.🤣 Too many qualifiers. Heterosexual men don't list 3 girlfriends by name. Debbie, Carol and Sylvia reads like Charlie's Angels.🤣😎

I believe Sen. Booker and Sen. Graham have something in common. They claim there is somebody for everybody. That means a dude who cannot find a woman is either 1) not trying hard enough or 2) very picky or 3) socially awkward. Even a nerdy Black man can find a woman especially if he has a few coins in his pocket. There's definitely no reason for him to be broke. That is a different subject though.😁😎

Right. The gamut runs wide. Some folks are content with Chinese takeout food and laying up watching Netflix.🤣 The US may be heading in that direction but we're not there yet. We still operate under 3 branches of government. More than a handful of people run the country. They always have the option of organizing themselves and overthrowing the government if unsatisfied with it. I'm inclined to believe Russia, China and North Korea remain unchanged because overall the people don't have a problem with their style of government. Many people will follow a benevolent dictator especially if their basic needs are met (food, clothing, shelter and healthcare). No desire to rich or wealthy. 😎

Sen. Booker running for POTUS may have already sailed. Remember the last time tossed his sombrero into the Democratic primary. He pretended to be dating Rosario Dawson. 🤣 Sen. Booker's candidacy didn't last for long the 1st time. He'd be going up against a few higher prospects in 2028.😎

First, we have to define quality of life. Then, we have to ask the people if they would rather trade places. For example, I wouldn't trade my house in the suburbs for a condo in midtown Manhattan. Conversely, the person living in a crowded azz city may not want to live in a quiet, suburban location. Condition and perspective and experience matters. Democratically elected leaders up and down the ballot holding political offices represent the majority of the people who voted for them. As I mentioned, democracy is imperfect but seems to work. Same goes for communism and fascism and every other form of government. The alternative would be anarchy. I cannot think of any country on the planet that doesn't function under some type of system.😎

Sen. Booker would have to get permission from the Democratic party to make that move. Mayor Adams has a scarlet letter on him as far as that party is concerned. The political party kool-aid has been spiked. They're drunk. Being an educated fool isn't synonymous with stupidity. They have made their deals for getting goodies, guarantees, giveaways and butter biscuits. The Democratic party is still punch drunk from the last election. Accepting abuse is par for the course especially if one prefers hot butter biscuits. Inhaling butter biscuits is not a function of intelligence. It's a sign of hunger or gluttony or greed. I doubt that Sen. Booker had to be provoked. He and Sen. Graham probably discussed it during the alphabet soup meeting.🤣😎

That's hilarious.🤣 It would have been funny if Sen. Booker had James Brown "Talking Loud and Saying Nothing" playing in the background.😁😎

White folks are divided by ethnicity, language, culture, religion, etc. White folks aren't forming tribes to attack non-white folks in places where they are not the dominant society. Your opinions are usually constructed in a binary way.🤣😎

Advantage is a matter of condition and perspective. The Black folks thriving in their own countries have a better quality of life than most AfroAmericans. The Black folks who flee their home countries are usually not in the most favored class of their society. To that end, surely those Black folks would run to a predominately white country in order to have a *better life* instead of building it at *home*. Study the system of *democracy*. It's imperfect but works. There's no clear head of authority running it. It's not about everybody being in charge. It's about empowering people to do what they are capable of within their knowledge, skills and abilities. The world is relatively stable because the leaders engage in a certain amount of cooperation. Leadership is not about being in charge. It is having the ability to accomplish goals and objectives through management of people and resources. A dictatorship might look and sound good but it requires a different mentality. A willingness to kill or be killed. Heavy security. Constantly on the lookout for enemies. Food taste testers. Trust nobody. I IMO, any man who desires to rule with an iron fist has a mental disorder. 🤣 A case could be be made for a benign dictatorship providing that leader has the qualities of a Supreme Being...love and peace.😎

Mayor Eric Adams getting re-elected would be win for him. It will do nothing to improve the overall perception of Black men. In other words, his Chess move isn't a checkmate. POTUS Oj is playing Chess with a whole board full of power pieces. White privilege, patriarchy and sunpremacy are just a few pieces working in his favor. There's no Black man on the planet with a fraction of that kind of power. We have not seized it. Reads like you have accepted that racism should exist or at a minimum, people should be comfortable with it on some level. Human being should not have to choose the lesser of two evils when it comes to racism. I will never accept the system of racism white supremacy. I will never accept that humans should oppress each other. There's a huge difference between oppression and positive leadership. Peace and happiness or the lack therof is usally a telltale sign.😎

I don't think so. If Sen. Booker said anything revelatory or noteworthy, Black media should be reporting it. 😎

Definitely a part of the sport.🤣 I believe overly emotional parents who get into fistfights at kids games are failed athletes living vicariously through their children.😁😎

I don't believe the planet is supposed to be ruled by any nation. Living things were put here to make it alive. Some humans just find it necessary to disturb the peace and harmony. Live and let live.😎

White folks have been out-numbered by non-whites for a long time. That's why they have nuclear weapons. If/when they can no longer run the world by every means necessary, they'll blow it up.😎

Right. Winning NYC in one way or another would be huge in the big picture. They've definitely got an uphill battle there.😎

@Pioneer1, you called it that Mayor Eric Adams should move away from the Democratic party. I don't think Mayor Adams had any other choice considering the Democrats turned against him because he wouldn't embrace illegal immigrants being dumped in NYC. Running as an Independent candidate allows Mayor Adams to pull voters from both parties. Let's see if POTUS OJ endorses Mayor Adams for re-election and if Musk puts that bread behind his re-election campaign. The GOP, POTUS OJ and Musk just took an L in that Wisconsin Supreme Court race after spending over 20 million dollars. Former governor Andrew Cuomo will be very hard to beat especially if New Yorkers forgive his pandemic response and the scandal that ran him out of office. The NYC mayoral race could shape up to be a heavyweight title fight.😎

Didn't realize you were referring to Black folks specifically. Black folks don't have a monopoly on forming tribes for destructive purposes. The mafia, gangs and cults, etc., are tribes formed by non-Black folks in opposition to members of their own race. Biker gangs formed by white dudes beef and brawl when they cross paths with their rivals.😎

Correct. Humans are social creatures. Rarely does a human being go through life in solitude. Most belong to a tribe(s). Most tribes are formed the moment a man and woman decide to procreate and become a family.😁😎

IMO, humans are tribal by nature. In complex societies, people belong to more than one tribe.😎
