Is it a game I am playing, or the 'wartime president' who said 'if we have 200k dead we did a good job,' and whose administration pretends they have somehow been 'peaceful' around the world, despite dropping more bombs than either Bush or Obama?

Same can be said about leaders of all countries where the numbers have increased. Can we blame our leaders for the massive spike in cases across Europe? Covid is not something to be controlled. I suppose Biden could lockdown the country down until numbers start to drop. Plus he has the added advantage of there being vaccines now

I don’t remember other leaders playing down the pandemic.
Or lying it was completely under control.
Or making masks political.
Or encouraging mass gatherings.
Or promoting drugs that didn’t work.

Well maybe that nutter in Brazil.

Biden will lead by example, show leadership, follow the science, and not suggest injecting disinfectant.
Just a guess.

You will have to do better with sources better then some random australian radio station article, Trump inherited wars from Obama and has actively been trying to bring troops home, shame some of the US officials hid troop numbers in Syria from Trump!

And Biden is inheriting a COVID mess of Trump’s doing and is going to actively try to slow the number of deaths.

But hey, you’re the one talking about counting the number of deaths from tomorrow just so you can stick it to Biden.

This is worse than the Trump fanatic rhetoric. I'm not sure if this is a joke or not.

Nope. Totally legitimate. I posted that when watching the candlelight ceremony this evening for the 400,000 dead Americans from covid.

I'd urge you to watch it. It was simple, but powerful.

we haven't seen this level of empathy in America in the last 4 years. We've seen one-upmanship, hate speech, racism, sexism- but not empathy.

So no- no joke- suck it up buttercup! :pac::pac::pac:

It's such a breath of fresh air- isn't it? It's like some facist dictator is dead or something and peace resumes. Such a feeling of relief.

You'd nearly swear, looking at Joe's cabinet - that the Democratic Party weren't the party of oppression, segregation, racism and slavery.

I remember when I saw him saying that at the early stages of Covid-And even that figure was giving him a major advantage i was thinking at the time, in that had he made more effort, it would have been more like 100K- 150K.

I just hope the American people remember- because the rest of the world does.

It really does feel like a corner has been turned. Huge sense of optimism the past few days in overall what has been a very dark period globally. Will be good to see a solid America again. Good for the western world.

While the country is very divided, I think Biden's job might be "easy" - if he doesn't do anything that's too dramatic, he'll be compared favourably to Trump. Outside the US, it will be very easy for him to improve relations and do better than Trump.

I don't think the outside the US thing will actually be easy apart from a lot of press conferences behind the scenes there's real tensions. The EU -China relationship, Nordstream 2 and the Russian- Danish/German relationship.
Biden going soft on China will be real easy to attack from a number of sides, this includes Biden being perceived to be soft of China.

Similarly if you believe that it was outside actors stirring up tensions in the US, they aren't going to stop either because Biden is in. Thats for both sides of the equation by the way BLM started under Obama.
He'l get an easy ride from the media for three or four months but good news doesn't sell and the non-Trump republicans tend to be sort of boring, Pence is a good example of this he might have views people hate deeply but he's dull compared to Trump.

Kamala was backed by the centre for new American security byt Michelle flournoy wasn't picked as defense secretary which is interesting...

They're filling DC with troops for the inauguration.

I had the opinion the Biden's team might start a few wars internationally but would be better domestically. I'm shocked how the 'insurrection' stuff is being taken seriously. Very disappointing.

Biden's 94 crime Bill has caused so much damage and Kamala seems to stand only for her love of power, acceptance and money.

They may well be worse than Trump but I hope they'll be better.

Agree to a point. An angry mob but not an organised insurrection There seemed nothing organised. That guy in the hat.... although in fairness the guy beside the poor woman who was shot seemed literate.

Yeah, it's the guy in the hat that led me to use the words 'clowns and donkeys' to be fair - it was a bad look. But still... I think the old 'domestic terrorists' language is very strong, too strong. I don't mean to downplay the events of course - they were obviously of significant magnitude - but... as I say 'insurrection', 'terrorism', nah - not in my book, personally speaking.

The democrats blocked troop withdrawals, they now seem more pro war and have a huge grudge against Russia and it's satellites.

Under Obama they armed the moderate Syrian rebels and somehow those weapons got to Isis, etc

Trump didn't seem to see the financial merits in war whereas the democrats are well meaning crusaders that do huge damage.. they'd be a lot better addressing why they have the highest incarceration rate in the world than conducting wars around the world.

Read left wing Pulitzer prize winning journalist Glenn Greenwald who broke the Snowden story for in depth analysis of the war problem in the democrat party.

If you google "biden interview with colbert youtube", it's a good watch. Over 3 years old and it's pretty prescient, but also remarkably inclusive.

Biden has supported the bombing of Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen.

And that's just in the last 25 years.

He's a hawk and what carried him over the line was his appeal to middle class neoconservatives so you will get a pretty robust foreign policy.

Its been like that way forever though, and while Trump started no fresh wars he was most certainly not a dove.

You probably will have to wait for the likes of the Squad to get control of the party if you want a less confrontational US foreign policy and that won't be for absolute ages.

However in all other fields Biden will look a progressive after the last 4 years which was Zombie Reganism on Speed.

Absolutely ridiculous we exited lock down in Ireland to 'save Christmas'.

FF have to take large blame for current numbers.

Covid is not something to be controlled. I suppose Biden could lockdown the country down until numbers start to drop. Plus he has the added advantage of there being vaccines now

Yet covid is under control in south east Asia, China, Korea, Japan (mostly), Australia and New Zealand.

Yeah. Be prepared for them to be suddenly very interested in the Covid numbers, the national debt and deficits.

francois · 20-01-2021 9:29am

The next 2 months will be critical and will define the presidency.
Today's speech will need to lay out the response to covid and economic recovery. I just hope it doesn't descend into cheeseball clichés, because the task confronting the US is immense.

Dunno where you heard that. The charges against several of them are specifically for conspiracy, the planning and organising charge. And the woman who was shot was a former Capitol riot response officer.

The democrats inherited wars started by the Republicans. They didn't start any.

Trump dropped more bombs than Bush or Obama in one term.

And Trump pulled out troops from Syria that were there to stabilize the region and left their allies to be massacred and allowed ISIS members to be released from prison.

The Democrats are no saints but this narrative that Trump and the Republicans are better is utter nonsense.
