    You never explained why you posted shíte by this guy.


    Is this where you get your news from? It's not even fit for the CT forum. [\quote]

    So Biko provides a valid opinion on who he thinks will win and your go-to response is to bring up some old post to belittle Biko"s opinion?
    Sorry that tactic won't work and just makes you look petty!

    Whereas Biden helped start the Iraq war, Trump is now pulling out troops (just in time for election day as it happens).


    You?

    Trump is doing is damnedest to start one, only he's looking for it to take place on home soil.

    Trumps strategy to not engage in foreign affairs of a security and military persuasion extended to letting Saudi Arabia away with killing and dismembering an American Citizen, allowing Russia to put bounties on US soldiers and abandoning the Kurds within the SDF in Syria.

    Are we pretending that Obama and Biden didn’t withdraw troops, and weren’t crucified for doing so?

    Apparently so, it seems they only sent troops in and now Trump is the saviour of those soldiers and will bring them all home. The fact he hasn't donenit yet is because he has been too busy but he promises he will get around to it any day now :D

    What Trump did, could it be classed as genocide?

    Trump managed to potentially start a war, in America!

    I would vote for Biden. The US needs a capable politician leading them through very difficult times. They need somebody of experience, that is willing to listen to experts. They need someone that can work not only in a bi-partisan way, but actually get his own party on the same level.

    They need someone that doesn't lie, all the time.

    What 39-year streak? What war did Obama start?

    How did Biden help start the Iraq war? That was a republican POTUS (GWB) and the GoP. The Senate, House and the American people were lied to. Based on the evidence presented by the GWB WH, their seemed to be a imminent risk from Iraq. But none of that falls on Biden.

    He is indeed pulling troops out of Iraw, or has at least announced it. But do you know the number of US troops based abroad now v's when Obama finished?

    How many drone strikes has Trump allowed?

    “This seems like a good time to mention I have a recording of that iceberg letting us know it was gonna be in the way.”

    There are certainly a question on having such information, but would it really have made a difference?

    Are people really of the view that Trump would have changed course if only people had known how serious it was? THere were plenty of people pointing out that exactly, and many questions were asked about either Trump knew and didn't care, or didn't know and therefore the US system of protection was completely broken. Neither was a good look for Trump.

    Is there anybody really of the opinion that Trump wasn't fully aware of the reality?

    But just as now, Trump would turn the argument to the journalist.

    This election has now become a battle between a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, and a nearly 80 year old loon whose best argument is "hey I'm not the other guy"

    Instead of sitting on this for his millionth book, Bob Woodward should have taken a lesson from that journalist who helped bring down Nixon through aggressive daily reporting of the scandal to reveal crucial information to the public

    Yet the “Nearly 80 year old loon” Is far and away the better candidate.

    In fairness Trump is not responsible for the actions of the superwoke. I'd imagine there's zero crossover between the superwoke and trump supporter base.

    Would it though? We all saw the impeachment, where the GoP refused to even listen. The only 'news' to this book is that Trump openly admitted it on tape, nobody can be actually surprised that Trump knew the reality, surely?

    Trump knew all about it but chose to downplay to try to keep the economy going long enough to get to the November election. You don't need a Woodword book to tell you that. All it does it 100% back it up.

    Are you expecting Trump supporters to suddenly start ot take the virus seriously now? That people will stop going to rallies? Start wearing masks? That Trump will stop pretending that everything is perfrectly fine?

    Fox News took the angle yesterday that it was somehow Graham fault, or the journalists fault. It is never Trump. It is never a question of his decisions.

    When the story came out is irrelevant. It is nothing but a deflection tactic to try to shir the narrative away from POTUS who took a deliberate decision to put more people in harms way for the simple reason as to try to enhance his prospects of winning reelection.

    It's been a while since I've seen so much hay made from so little.

    He got a nomination from some crank and you'd swear that he actually won it.

    It's easier than making a well-reasoned defence.

    Don't blame the bearer of the news; it's news. It's on tape. It's fact. He's not the same man he was in the '70s (when he didn't vote for Nixon despite being a registered Republican.)

    What term would you prefer for those who are "peacefully protesting" alleged endemic violence with burning looting mobs?

    I suppose there'll have to be another collusion investigation when Trump wins!

    i'm not blaming woodward for the news. I'm blaming him for sitting on it for 6 months. and I know people are saying that it would have made no difference if he had released it earlier but Woodward could not have known that 6 months ago. He sat on it because he wanted to save it for his book. this was just about money for him. If it resulted in extra deaths then that is a price he was willing to let others pay.

    Are you saying all people who are exercising their constitutional guarded rights are all looters and rioters?

    these protests are clearly not peaceful, trump has played a critical role in inciting them, he has little or no interest in other humans, hes a typical cluster b narcissist, creates disruption by any means, ultimately for personal gain

    Anyone excersising their right to peaceful protest, no. But these mobs are burning down buildings. That's not peaceful.

    Or these people could just, you know, not burn down and attack property and people who have actually bothered to work and build up a business. Or a nice house etc.
