And you'd know intelligent responses /s
I know it's hard for you to go off script when discussing things but give it a shot. I never defended the Afgan pull-out nor this action. On the contrary they were/are both horrific and avoidable and accountability is certainty needed.
But unlike you I don't have a failed POTUS nuts scrapping along my chin. I dislike most politicians regardless of party and I'm no fan of Joe fuken Biden.
Your fellow citizens are not your enemy...well except me because fuk you☻/

We have a lot of people on both sides stating Biden has been wrong on every foreign policy for his entire 50 yrs in public office & I have to agree. This stupid mother fukker cannot get a single thing correct.
I do not believe a single politician on either side, they are in it for 2 reasons money & power. They don't give 2 $hits about any of us and never will.
I agree and I also think General Mark Miley is guilty of a treasonous act, there are official chains of command and he attempted to bypass those....it doesn't matter what his feelings were / are nor does it matter if he thought it was perfectly normal but the facts are the President is the commander in chief and if Miley actually did contact the Chinese & state he would warn them then that is treason. Trump is the only modern President to not get us engaged in a war, for christ sake he tried to be friendly & diplomatic towards North Korea because the blockades and treating the country like a total @sshole hasn't exactly done anything to help relations."You know that little thing in your head that keeps you from saying things you shouldn't? Yeah, well, I don't have one of those."

I don't have enough info to come to any conclusion about what Gen. Miley did or the actions surrounding it to have an opinion. He's going before Congress soon though I think? So I'll circle back
What I do know is that we as a country need better guard rails on the power to launch nukes, IMO. This isn't 1776 where launching ships in the ocean was the preferred method. I know I'm not comfortable with one man having that power thats for sure.
But the bolded is spot on.☻/

7seconds, I generally go with the right because well, there is common sense there, paying your fair share is a horrible mindset and to say this for climate change is even stupider.
But how about 2012, Mitt loosing to Obama was fine with me, IMO if you voted for Mitt you were a SUCKER, Obama already had 4 years in, there was NOTHING that could be done to change that outcome.
Another scumbag is Dick C.
I know I’m just wasting my typing, this post will just pass over you and most here......

The thing that really sucks about Biden being pres. is that someone is actually doing the things he campaigned on, it ain’t him. I thought he’d get NOTHING done, but I guess that’s the real danger of having a Democrat rule in Government, or even the same on the right.
I prefer a president who does NOTHING, step aside and let the people work there own problems.

In general if the criticism is that Biden is a standard neoliberal bureaucrat that is out of touch with the people and will likely accomplish nothing during his presidency, that’s certainly valid. But your criticism is usually that Biden is a Marxist fascist who will bring Sharia law to America, and that’s just stupid.

The big thing President Trump did was destroy the concept of abiding by political norms. More than actual rules, American politics, for better or worse, has survived by just accepting there are political norms to follow.
The Executive branch has been steadily strengthened and checks and balances removed with blind belief that "that could never happen here" and our leaders will continue to abide by political norms they aren't technically required to.
All that is out the window.
Fortunately President Trump was pretty inept in office. He never really learned the basics of how government even worked. It’s pretty scary what someone that knows the basics of government might be able to do now, after Trump laid the groundwork."it's likely one of us will have to spend some days alone"

Probably not going back to the states if had a choice...could well be the greatest place for a younger person I think, but priorities etc change. Hoping to have a cheap homebase over here and some other places with economical benefits etc to go to temporarily or even permanently. Isle of man seem good at first glance with no capital gains tax, english language, nice landscapes and old viking forts. Hungary - looking at Szeged specifically - their third largest city..all beautifully rebuilt a hundred years ago after a flood, 500k people, and can get a proper apartment downtown in the city centre for 500 usd/month. Then Tbilisi, Georgia seems beautiful and beneficial as well. The east just seems great in many places...growing at great speeds and looking at freedom in a manner we used to.
