When Trump was in office it seemed like, overnight, the world became a much more dangerous place. I can only imagine what ordinary Americans must have felt. he's not your typical statesman is he? I have a friend in the America who tells me the country is on the brink of a civil war and Trump supporters are fuelling this. I don't know if thats an exaggeration?
The world certainly became a meaner place. Trump is a very small man. The only things that matter to him are his own wants and desires, and he is vindictive, punishing anyone who does not kiss his ass. His tenure as president was only about how he and his family could profit monetarily. His followers (cult members) mainly consist of uneducated white men (and women!) and scary evangelical Christians that want to go back in time to 'when things were good'; you know when black people and women were subservient. When men ruled their homes and had all the jobs. It's more complicated than that, but you see what I mean. His followers are too stupid to see that he doesn't give a s about them at all. They are a means to amend - getting him back into power so he can make more money. They really do seem to want a civil war when everyone else wants to live a decent life.
Stay cool.
with that said, since Biden took office I feel like he's led the world closer to ww3. Russia invaded Ukraine during a Biden administration. the situation is dire and what has Biden done other than extend the time is takes for Ukraine to lose? I feel with Trump he's the type to '' meet you at your level... draw a line and dare you to cross it'' that's the style of geopolitics Putin respects. I think Trump will want to negotiate with Putin without delay if he gets into office. If Biden is re-elected, we can expect to see more of the same which will only lead to increased tensions.
I watched a replay of the debate. Can we begin with the stiffness with which Biden walked onto the stage?
he should have emptied his bowels beforehand lolWhat is the deal with Biden? Does anyone know why he messes up every single debate or speech he makes? The latest is the NATO speech. Why doesn’t he just admit defeat and give it up. I’m not saying Trump is any way better but jeez He really needs to go. There’s no way he can last another 4 years it’s impossible.I watched a replay of the debate. Can we begin with the stiffness with which Biden walked onto the stage?
Biden stood at the lectern the whole time with a vacant stare in his eyes and every time he turned to look at Trump he looked bewildered. I counted at least 4 instances where he seemed to lose his train of thought and mumbled gibberish.
as far as Trump, I think The Guardian summed it best: ''Donald Trump, a prolific purveyor of falsehoods, repeatedly told lies and avoided answering tough questions. The prevailing reaction to the debate was one of resignation and disbelief that these two candidates were their parties’ choices to lead the country at one of its most critical moments''.
I haven't watched the NATO speech yet but I saw a headline in the news today that Biden was glaring into the teleprompter and avoided a disastrous slip up during his speech. He's clearly not fit for office but I'm starting to think the team around him must want to keep him in office to pull the strings?
We all knew it was coming, one minute he doesn’t endorse Kamala next minute he does. Who is making these decisions for him.
the US elections is happening as scheduled I thought? how common are snap elections in the US?This is earth shaking news. The Convention is in a month. There was a New York Times article on what happens now. Either the delegates give their vote to Kamala or open convention and we get a new nominee. I prefer the latter; I don't believe this country could handle a president that is female and black. I don't think it's okay, but it is reality. The article poses the question, can the US pull off a super fast election like GB did. With the COL crisis and the way capitalism has been working, I we would have a result very similar to England. With Trump running high, it's a scary time to be American. Just my two cents.
In my lifetime there has never been a snap election in the US. The election is scheduled for November. They are really pushing Kamala as the nominee, but I hear so many talking about an open convention. Despite how they try to portray "democracy" in America, the DNC chooses the candidate they want and then we vote. I don't know how this plays out. Even if she wins, Trump will scream rigged, etc. and I wonder if they'll do January 6th 2.0. I've really lost all faith in the system.
