    I've been highlighting how hypocritical you all are and indulged you by explaining myself again and again and again.
    Yes you are using bully tactics. I'm not upset by them but I see no value in continuing to argue the same over and over.

    Whether Harris was a friend of Beau's or not is largely irrelevant. After he was long dead she supported someone who accused Biden of sexual harrassment. Anyone would discount her as a running mate after that. Problem is they realised a female minority would be good optics.

    You called Obama "the king of drone strikes"

    It was pointed out that Trump ordered more drone strikes in two years than Obama did in eight.

    You were proven wrong.

    ah but that wasn't true at the time they got their information. Presumably that was some time on Jan 21st 2017.

    "Aristotle" just striked through all my posts. Seemed very aggressive.

    This thread is like the worst imaginable Twitter echo chamber. Full of groupthink, with no discernible difference between the various posters, all opinions safely received and regurgitated from orthodox lowbrow platforms.

    In the grand American tradition, it's just cheerleading. Fine to have a bit of a laugh at from the side-lines but don't bother wading in too far.

    Disengaging from people who cannot behave in a civil manner does not make me a snowflake or whatever it is you are implying. You guys seem to have smelt blood. I'm not bleeding please don't get too aroused.

    Wading in a sewer it seems.

    Why stop at the American death toll? Why not make Trump responsible for all Covid deaths worldwide? :confused:

    Good point. If Trump hadn't removed the CDC experts from China before the pandemic started, they might have gotten a handle on it earlier. How many deaths do you think might have been prevented if the US had shown some leadership on the world stage and actually engaged with the WHO from the beginning?

    Pretty much how every Trump thread was last year, then Trump lost the election in November and I would say 95% of his zealots just magically disappeared never to be seen again.

    What evidence have you on this?

    But you do know that the POTUS doesn't actually just sit in his office on his own all day making up laws and policy, don't you?

    You do understand that they have teams around them, a cabinet even.

    POTUS is the head of the organisation, like a CEO. They don't actually stock the shelves. But they lead, they inspire, they create policy and culture. They set goals and targets and drive people to achieve.

    I get you don't like him, but try to be a bit unbiased and look at the facts, rather than your, or I imagine, others opinions.

    That's a fair point ...

    It's not that I don't like Biden, It's just the bias of the media , it's like he is the perfect potus he can't do anything wrong.

    Zero criticism from media on him.

    Trump on the other hand got zero credit - and you can't deny he didn't do at least some good .. mid east peace deals, Koreas talking etc ...

    Trump might have been bad - but he wasn't Hitler...

    Biden might be better - but he's not Mr. Perfect.


    However the MSM act like Trump is Satan^Hitler, and Biden is the 2nd coming ...

    We're all still waiting for you to tell us why you consider Trump to be a better person than Obama, and we've been waiting nearly three hours now.

    If this is so obvious, I'm sure you can quickly list a dozen things that the mainstream media should have criticised Biden for but haven't. Off you go.

    Are you all? The in crowd is it? Those in the know? I addressed it already.

    You want me to explain the words you put in my mouth. Also already addressed.

    I really shouldn't respond, I am just fuelling your nonsense.

    Any points I am making are not for the benefit of people intolerant of opposing views. I owe you nothing.

    Syrian air strikes for one, introducing CRT into schools again - which is just plain racist divisive nonsense...

    Would you like to point to your post where you explained why you think Trump is a better person than Obama? All I can find is the post where you said that you do think that, but that it's not because of bombs dropped. I can't find any post where you explain why you think Trump is a better person than Obama.

    But of course, you already know that no such post exists and are trying to dodge the question for a fourth hour.

    Fair enough, but it's hardly a compliment to compare what we're seeing here to what's been seen in those kind of Trump threads.

    I can find plenty of articles from mainstream media criticising both (and can provide them if necessary).

    Would you like to try again?

    no need to follow the prevailing narrative. it is self-evident that trump is an arsehole of the highest order. For some reason you find that refreshing.

    If you look carefully I also like posts that disagree with my view but that contribute something to the conversation or show an interesting perspective. Don't think I've liked any of your posts though. Might have.

    I "looked carefully" on the last three pages and can't find any evidence of that.

    Would you like to explain why you liked this post for example? What is it about its contents that you agree with?

    I always accept what is as plain as the nose on my face.

    For example, someone who isn't a pathological liar is a better statesman than someone who is.

    This is actually a scary statement to make.

    You told a lie because you didn't have all the information is the best way you can put it, you did not tell the truth in any way at all.

    Biden seemed to forget Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s name at a White House event yesterday — calling the Pentagon chief “the guy who runs that outfit over there.”

    He looks very shaky on his legs it has to be said.

    Doesn't look great at all especially when we've been told by some posters on here that he's been really busy working so he hasn't given a solo media press confrence yet due to being busy.

    Surely if he was working with people as frequently as he was if was indeed that busy then he would have no problems recalling those peoples names.

    It is amazing how many people think that they can answer an argument by attributing bad motives to those who disagree with them.

    That kind of thing is hard to watch. If this was happening to someone other than a supporter of disgraceful middle-eastern wars I'd feel sorry for him.
