But will he just merge into the background and be a nobody Annie? We have had plenty of ‘Waste-of-Space’ PM’s over the years where people get away with murder. Soft leaders are no leaders, and their salaries should be classed as ‘Obtaining Money under False Pretences’…You didn’t mention what the Pro-Trump supporters listed as your friends, thought about the situation. The only thing I can see wrong with Trump is, he leaves himself open to criticism with his bravado and macho attitude. The assault on Capitol Hill could have been just such a setup!
Biden is a much bigger dick than Trump. If you thought Trump was bad just wait until you get a load of Biden and Harris.
You will then have a senile old dick in charge that not only hasn’t done anything for 47 years, he is also China’s bag man who will put Americans out of work and sell out to the CCP just like his mentor Obama did.
Biden makes an idiot of himself every time he opens his gob - he doesn’t even know where he is most of the time.
Not to mention the recent film of him squeezing a young girl’s nipple as he draped an arm around her. Her expression told it all as she tried to pull away.
Well he did set himself up with his theatre of Twitter!
Everyone has an opinion of him as a result of that. The assault on Capitol Hill is down to a relentless campaign of conspiracy propaganda carried out by him at rallies and social media.
The pro Trump friends are convinced it’s all a left wing conspiracy. But then they think everything is a conspiracy. I have recently been told by one to “wake up” a sure sign of someone who has been watching too many you tube conspiracy channels! :-D:-D
A strong leader knows how to work with other people.
I guess you are pretty disappointed at the situation as you really love Trump.
I have thought about this a lot, Annie. There is a balance needed between acting quickly to send the message that illegal behavior will no longer be tolerated and making sure that we aren’t inciting further trouble. The history books are full of governments getting out of hand when rounding up suspected insurgencies and losing sight of the mission.
When my dad was an aviator, he said that in the case of an in-flight emergency, he was rigorously taught to, “Wind your watch, aviate, communicate, navigate.”
We most definitely need to wind our watches over here. I think that is why the FBI is taking the longest to investigate the most serious of the Capitol crimes. Thinking about the way we are addressing each other on political matters, in the same way would speak with a hormonal teenager, would ago a long way in cooling the political temperature. Unfortunately, having dedicated news programming that isn’t chock full of opining and radical Congressmen who need to check their language are the most difficult to convince.
I don’t love trump at all. I don’t like how he behaves and I don’t particularly like some of the things he says but I really do like what he has done for the USA in 4 years.
On the other hand, your just like James O’brien, offering no solutions, no commitment just none stop hate for anything. It’s s pretty pointless position to have a proper debate because I already know what your replies will be. Its just hate everything and don’t support anything…
Closing everything down and boarding up shops the wisest choice.
Judd, not true. You should check your own stories before putting up statements.
PolitiFact | An image that appears to show Joe Biden groping a woman is altered
Joe Biden will prove to be a good leader, following the four years of muck, and disgraceful, ignorant lies of the 6th grader who thought he could ever make an adult decision for our country.
At least it will help people to adhere to the lockdown rules…
With all due respect, we can only hope Biden will be a good leader. We can have no confidence that he will be a good leader any more than any other. He has given us cause to watch him like a hawk, but that comes with the territory. A democracy only holds strong only when the people employ constant and rigorous scrutiny and accountability of its elected officials.
I totally agree with you. So, where were those people when we needed rigorous scrutiny and accountability of our elected officials in the past four years? If the job was being done, Trump would have never gotten away with all he did.
We can only move forward. I am optimistic we will regain some of all we lost and, all for nothing more than a has been bully.
The House Committee on Oversight and Reform was Congress’ avenue for oversight. It was chaired by House Democrat Carolyn Maloney. Here is a link to the committee’s work and the issues that were investigated:The first impeachment came out of the work of this committee.
https://oversight.house.gov/oversight-of-trump-administration
The formation of this committee is attributed toe implied elements of the Constitution that employs the checks and balances of the Executive Branch, along with the amendment establishing term limits. Challenges in the courts offered the second leg of oversight. The third was from the voters who voted for Congressional changes and resulted in the outcome of the election and Biden.
The fourth estate would be considered the fourth, informal source of oversight.
Thank you, mom, but I have followed politics and procedures for 50 years. My question was more about the specific people working on these committees, and their moral obligations to the country. Integrity has also gone by the wayside. We can hope those holding offices and chairing committees in the next generation will find the values we seem to have lost.
People like you must have had an awful four years watching all the horror coming from the White House.Hopefully the next four will be a lot more civilized .The world needs a proper grown -up USA.
Yeah, we need a good Dad.
Come on, Judd. It’s obvious it was altered, seen so many of them over the past two years.
We did take our lumps for four years. Now the other half takes their turn. That is a true democracy. We will get back to decency, honorable decisions in a grown up way. To interact again with climate control, NATO, and world issues with international leaders will hopefully seem normal once again.
Thank you for recognizing this, Psmith.:hug:
Perhaps you can explain why after 8 years of a black Democrat you elected a white, autocratic, pig -ignorant, racist Republican?
It’s not a loaded question,I am honestly mystified.
