It would be optimal. For me, there isn’t really anyone. I’m not looking for a ‘leader’ to tell me what or how to think, but someone who thinks like me and actually represents my interests would be nice. That person doesn’t exist, that I’m aware of. I voted for Trump because I don’t want to go to war with Russia over nonsense in places like Syria, or anywhere else in the ME for that matter. Also, to secure the border, and stop importing third world squatters into this country. Thus far, he has been a complete failure in every one of those areas. If he keeps heading in his present direction, I’m done participating.
It may come as a shock to you but I don’t give a shit about what some primitive, Neanderthals like the Israelite’s did a thousand years ago. The article is about political leaders and no I haven’t changed my view. I don’t want any. None. No more top down, ruling class for me. And if that’s a concept too hard for you to get to you’re best suited to be a follower. Good luck with that.
I like her until she talks about anything other than foreign policy, then I feel like I’m listening to a bernie clone with a nicer voice.

The problems of this world were created by “political solutions.” They most certainly will NOT be fixed by political solutions or political leaders. Until we as a species finally figure that out, the direction our civilization will take is virtually guaranteed and set. Self-governance….thank you very much….and voluntary associations will all that I choose.

No American politician can effectively lead as long as the corrupt-laden swamp in D.C. isn’t drained. Silly me, I had hopes for REAL change, but they have been dashed by recent events.

Hmmm, the Mule? Second Foundation? Perhaps if all communications were non verbal we could get along. Nah,”power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Lord Acton.
Former Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke was previously the world record holder for the fastest drinking of a yard of beer,[7] when he downed a sconce pot in eleven seconds as part of a traditional Oxford college penalty.[8]
I’ll take that top guy, he’s pro-Brexit.
How about no leader-who wants to be a follower?
That would be optimal.

All Chiefs and no Indians usually doesn’t work out well.
Mankind has always needed leaders, demanded them at times as the early Israelite’s did (1 Samuel 8).
It’s part of human nature, it’s ingrained within us from birth where our parents are our first leaders.
Selecting our leaders is a rather recent development in human history, we’ll soon find out if it succeeded or failed.
There’s a difference between those leaders one chooses for themselves and those that are thrust on us. Keep your dictators to yourself.
The Israelites I mentioned chose to have their King.
And as I pointed out, the ability to choose our own rulers is rare in history.
Further, my post was in response to yours suggesting no leader at all and hinting they are unnecessary.
Have you now changed your position? That as long as we choose them, they are OK?

Without exaggeration……that lady is breathtakingly beautiful. And make no mistake………
she IS a LADY.
Here, here for that!
I’ll vote for Putin.
No one. I do not require any political leaders to live a responsible life.
Next question.
If it plays out that Trump is a total fraud……..I’m done looking.
I’ll take Assad for $300, Alex.
Who was the hapless mid eastern dictator killed by an american drone in 2017?
Farage, LePen, Wilders, Putin.
Trey Gowdy, Thomas Massie, Jason Chaffetz, Duncan Hunter, Franklin Graham, David Barton, etc.
John C. Garand, Eugene Stoner, John Moses Browning
Optimal choices, MN.
I’d add Chesty Puller, Massad Ayoob, Jeff Cooper, Rob Pincus, Sam Colt and Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov.
WWJMB do?
.45 ACP
Spicoli/D’Moan 2020… Hopefully Rat and Stacy have done it by then.
What happened to Rand Paul, Cruz, & Mike Lee?

Leadership is for teams. No one in the establishment is truly on my team, except maybe fucking putin.
Gandalf might work, but he’s imaginary; I wish some of my current “leaders” were!
I could probably get along with Farage; who’s the lower dude?
Bernie and Dennis Kucinich!
