I don't remember much foreign trouble in the Trump administration. North Korea went from being our most immediate threat to a potential counterweight against communist China. Trump's handshake diplomacy was Nixon-goes-to-China-esque. Trump kicked Iran's ass. Russia was quiet. NATO re-militarized locally. Africa was quiet. In South and Central America, and Africa, Trump held the status quo. Trump strengthened Indian ties to historically high levels.
I miss the Trump administration.
All political speech comes from a forked tongue in front of poisoned fangs. Ours as well as the adversary's.
You need admit nothing, but that you have known a Trump die-hard that admires the old Joe Biden. I agree with your assessment of JB's character. He's been peddling influence for forty years. He has also been effective at it and we underestimated his party machine's ability to harvest votes, legitimate and otherwise, to our own current state of perdition.
Cheers,
Here's the Deal: C'mon, man! Have I been talking for too long?
I do not enjoy holding you in any poor regard. I would rather think of you as a patriot who got caught up in a moment of fervour, who can now appreciate a red-pill painted so blue it makes an American blush.
These videos clearly document a trajectory of mental fitness, going so far as to map not just his later decline but his earlier growth as an effective speaker and politician.
A Boomer for Biden reads a headline --
In 1995 Biden was inspiring. And he is even more inspiring NOW!
-- with all the links and commentary intact.
The cognitive dissonance will lead to headaches. Those headaches can only be cured by recognizing that Joe Biden has lost his marbles.
So you are either a shill, or a hateful goon.
I can understand that you despise Joe Biden. I can understand that you hate anyone that does not hate Joe Biden.
What saddens me is that in hating anyone who does not hate Joe Biden, you are a totalitarian. It is not enough for you to have your own beliefs, but it is your insistrnce that all those who do not hold to your beliefs are to be despised as well. You wish to dictate the thoughts of others.
You refuse to try to discuss or persuade where you have a difference with someone. You can only heap scorn on those you disagree with. Yours is a fundamentally undemocratic, anti-republican stance. You would prefer to live under benevolent dictatorship that you agree with, than under an imperfect pluralistic society.
I am not sure if you are a troll or serious. That's the problem with online discussion. You are either a very angry, isolated American, or a foreign shill hired to poison rational discussion.
The same goes for me. If I am a shill, what is the purpose of my post? If I am praising Biden, I have put a lot of effort into calling him senile.
If I am sincere in my intentions, then what is the point of your criticism? You would certainly agree that documenting Biden's mental decline is good. Whaat you object to is my characterization of those documentary videos. A shill would act as you do, hurling insults with little regard to the substance of the discussion.
If you are a sincere Trump supporter, you might tone your rhetoric down and attempt to engage in constructive discussion. -- better yet find more compelling videos and provide better commentary to emphasize Biden's cognitive decline.
Or you can just stay angry because you are so emotionally stunted that you cannot get over the fact that those who would be your friends and allies approach things in a different way than you do.
Get over your totalitarian tendencies. People of good faith will disagree with you and you with them. The founding fathers of this country were men of different temparments and philosophies. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were bitter foes politically, yet they both played vital roles in securing American independence and prosperity. Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, were both military heroes of the Revolution, yet they loathed one another enough to kill, with Burr succeeding. That last one is a bad example -- I'm not going to duel you over an anonymous petty online squable.
So which is it, omniwulf? Are you a shill or just an asshole?
How do you manage to get about in the real world, where good and decent people do and think things that fall out of your very narrow criteria for acceptable thought and behaviour?
It must be very lonely living in such moral perfection.
addendum: do you disagree with his 2008 remarks that healthcare reforms should be pursued by the individual states, rather than by the federal government? Do you really abhor his 1995 statements condemning genocide? You are an unthinking partisan. You are a moron. Go out and talk to real people rather than hide behind an online persona.
Totalitarianism, the political phenomena, and the more general social Totalism, are ideologies that cannot tolerate dissent. We suffer from it on the right as well as on the left.
If somebody is not completely in agreement with a very narrow set of views, they are anathema and reduced to a subhuman status.
It is disgusting when the Left does it, and it is worse when the right does it because they should know better. Fanatical partisanship is un-American.
Walker said there were several motivating factors for lowering the income reporting threshold for gig workers, but the problems with gig worker unemployment insurance in the pandemic was the final straw.
The CARES Act allowed independent contractors and self-employed individuals to file for unemployment insurance, but many of these claimants didn’t receive 1099-Ks. That meant their income had to be substantiated by hand, which takes a long time and caused huge delays with gig workers receiving unemployment benefits.
tl;dr: The government can't keep on giving you free money if it doesn't rob you first.
We can't all attain your level of partisan perfection. You would lynch the Donald Trump of 40 years ago for his political impurity.
To persuade, you must be able to compliment your opponent for the insults to have real bite.
Nancy Pelosi is an eighty year old women who has repeatedly submitted herself to the surgeon's knife in a desperate attempt to hide her age. That kind of butchery eventually catches up to you.
It is telling that she did so in representing ultra-progressive San Francisco. Her constituents cannot stand the notion of a woman aging gracefully, whose grey hair and wrinkles merit respect rather than disgust. They cannot view a woman's worth except through her youthful appearance.
Here's the link to the twitter image where, Nessel mentions GoFundMe and Tucker Carlson in the preamble to a timeline of the events leading up to Pavlos-Hackney's arrest. Carlson fails to mention the weirdest thing -- Nessel brings up Donald Trump's military deferments in the statement as well.
It was a pain finding Nessel's statement. Carlson really should have provided a direct link to the actual statement -- I was beginning to wonder if Carlson was fabricating what she said. He definitely was exagerating the centrality of his show in Nessel's statement. What is clear from the statement is that Pavlos-Hackney's political affiliation was a contributing factor to her treatment by law enforcement, and specifically by Nessel.

The man was not targeting asians. he was targeting rub-and -tug joints where joyless sex slaves are forced to submit to creeps like him's sexual whims. These woman are kept as slaves. Where is the outrage about the survivors who will continue to live as sex slaves?
I say free the chink sex slaves and shoot their pimps.
So does that make me a racist feminist, or just a lover of liberty with an ironic sense of humor?

His killer has not been brought to justice. Most killers get away with it. That is the last the world has heard of Bernell Trammel. Mostly blogs and local news.
Duckduckgo "milwaukee hate crime" and all the results go to this story from 2019, with stories from every major national news outlet:
it's a nasty story but not as bad as Trammel's
So what did get national attention and prompt prosecution in 2020, just before Trsmmel got killed?

it's not systemic racism that is the problem, it's systemic propaganda and systemic corruption. It is the systematic politicization of our courts and police that is hurting us.
I was always very disappointed that Trump did not more vigorously fight the trafficking of oriental sex slaves into America. Most of these massage parlours are staffed by women who are unable to escape, often with family back home who sold them into sex slavery to begin with.
Nasty stuff in this world. Is it racist to report that rub and tug joints are primarily staffed by orientals?
I don't care. The more we bark, the more they win.
