what’s wrong with the country now and its intermediate future? 81+ million biden voters including yourself 100% support everything going on right now


I agree that everyone who voted for Biden should be shamed.

The trolling is particularly boring on a day when there's so much to talk about after a weird election.

it’s not a weird election at all. other day i said I wouldn’t be surprised with a split legislature. you can’t have a red wave when you’re running dr oz against a stroke victim whose brain never worked in the first place

I'm eager to see DeSantis take lunacy out of the schools.

from an empathetic POV this is scary

from a comedy loving POV this is gold

from a human POV hoping biden kicks it before 2024

I don't care too much either way. As long as the policies are solid and we can return to some kind of pre woke days and prices of gas and food normalise then we can all agree.

Trump just has charisma and entertainment levels that Desantis will never reach.

From a federal level?

There's something to be said about local control. If California wants to run some nutty schools, so be it. Laboratories of democracy and such.

And we're a country of dopes so these things matter more than policy, character, and competence.

That's what the position boils down to. Even the ability to speak coherently is not a requirement these days it seems. The president is a mouth piece a glorified teleprompter reader at this point 99% of the thinking is done by the senate and the party.

I think that's a weird position to take when Biden's Build Back Better bill got destroyed by Manchin, and Trump was anything but a mouthpiece for the party policy machine. He got the rich tax cuts bill passed and shat on everything else, even fumbling the repeal of Obamacare and the passing of an infrastructure bill.

Presidents who appear to be competent about policy are the ones who care about policy. The lack of chaos is not evidence of "being a mouthpiece for the man", it's just competence and policy success.

The circumstances which led to the 2nd Gulf War aren't going to be repeated. Wars are incredibly expensive and at this point in time we're pretty much broke.



No need.


you have been broke before and that didnt stop ya ^_;

just print more money and use the global reserve currency status like washington is now

but fair enough, the age war the iraq/afghanistan wars is probably over

now its pumping a bit less money into a proxywar and let someone else fight
