    They made plenty of money the last few years from war.

    They just removed the requirement to report their military strikes and losses.

    How often does this have to be repeated? :confused:

    In a thread about all the bullsh1t around the election, for some reason this is one of the strangest "facts" thrown out here.

    Ha, good point. They are now a teenager, but began living alone with with Gaetz as a 12 year old. No parents, no siblings, no relatives or contacts at all living there with them. Just then 12 year old Nestor, and adult Matt Gaetz whose story on his relation with the child kept changing through the years.

    Drone strikes bad new wars bad increasing influence of Gun dealers and war profiteers in Government = bad. Cult talking points I suppose. Is every thing black and white with you ? Is any criticism of Biden allowed ?

    Where have I commented on Biden on this? Your choice to single out the Dems as the warmongers falls a bit flat given that Trump is a Republican president and you should therefore include the fact (for example) that your quoted Global Peace Index has been increasing overall since 2008. Both parties engage in the business of war. You are clearly trying to hive off the "normal" US military activity from declarations of war as if Trump is some paragon of pacifism- the US is directly and indirectly killing people in other countries so quit the declaration of war bullsh*t.

    Very good- I had forgotten he could bust some moves to tunes other than YMCA. He is clearly delighted to be sharing that cultural experience!

    It might actually happen, and you know what they (republicans) would fully deserve it. Make a deal with the devil then you gotta be careful.

    It might. I doubt it though.

    The Republicans will do everything in their power to prevent it too. it wouldn't be in their best interests.

    And while 60 mil Americans may have voted for Trump, a huge proportion did so simply because he was the Republican ticket and that's all that matters to that demographic. But they won't be following him to a new political party, that's for sure.

    No, I'd say the next step for Trump is setting up his own political propaganda machine. He's seen how easy it is to fool some gobshites by merely saying any old hot air at all, so he's not going to give up that grift. Watch out for a Breitbart type organisation popping up, but with Trump at its helm.

    It'll be "independent" :pac: , so therefore reliant on the funds of fools. The same fools who went around chanting "fraud" the last few weeks because the orange man said so.

    Yeah, but she heard about a van.

    I think the Judge needs to hear her out.

    Good man, you are twisting words I haven't written. Engage in good faith or not at all. I have not said anything indicating preference to Biden or stating that the Democrats will do anything other than the same all recent US regimes, whether war is declared or not, Trump did nothing to dismantle the military industrial complex.
    I am also pointing out that you are trying to paint a false picture of the reality of Trump's single term as being a peaceful one.

    When did I say Trumps presidency was fully peaceful ? I pointed out something in the news about Bidens appointments and the conversation went straight to ya but what about Trump.

    It's not about diversion, you mistakenly think that Don has done things differently then the guy/guys before him and that will come after him..

    You're wrong.

    Trying to get on the higher horse in an equal race is some fallacy.

    You're overthinking it by suggestng that she gave this story any consideration beyond the initial story.

    By the look of her I'd say she was handed a few dollars, a piece of paper with this story on it, and told that the "media exposure" from this would be great and she'd gain lots of insta followers so she could take her influencer career to the next level.

    Jesus wept- you are the one that set up the contrast between the current incumbent and Biden taking over. Do you not understand your own posts?

    Just watch in a year or 2 being anti-war will be considered far right. Looking forward to it.

    Russia has had a naval base in Syria since the 70s and has always been their main arms supplier

    Plenty of people criticized the intervention in Lybia but the growth of Islamic groups can be traced back further to the previous bush sr and Regan administration's and Russian involvement in Afghanistan.

    As for freedom of the press, mainly right wing and left wing countries.

    As for supporting trump/racism etc, yep for some that's why they support him. As for posters on here, well their post history speaks for their opinions.

    Don't know if Biden will be responsible for involving the U.S. in any police actions or other armed interventions, during his tenure, but he might not pretend that he isn't doing something that he actually is, unlike trump.

    Also in relation to press freedom, Trump has actively spent his presidency attacking the press. The likes of the Maga bomber existed as a result of his rhetoric. His main target was the press, specifically outlets that Trump attacked.

    You said it would be back to business for arms companies now that Biden is in. If you keep posting in bad faith and putting words in people’s mouths you’ll probably get banned.

    What do we think will happen in 2024? I expect Trump to cause chaos by making lots of noise about running but not actually committing to it. He’ll be 78 then and he’s in much worse shape than Biden even though he’s a few years younger.

    I'm still trying to get my head around it.

    Deflection to Trump is very common here. It's a defense mechanism. But if Trump is considered bottom of the barrel by many it's hardly much of a defense.

    So? "but Trump is worse" can't be the answer to every Biden criticism.
