I was surprised that Trump lost, but that's mostly because he seemed to have more support than Biden at first glance, what with Trump having significantly more people coming to his rallies and Biden fucking up his speeches whenever he's allowed to talk. That, and I was kinda hoping for more chaos.

The choice was ultimately between a senile president that's going to be replaced by Kamala after some time or a president with a massive ego trying to repeal Section 230 because Twitter was mean to him (Although good fucking luck trying to get Twitter to hold Biden to the same standards once he's in office.) Both are unlikable in their own ways.

In the end, though? I'll live with the presidency. If anything, it reminded me that there's faggots on both sides of the political spectrum and it's fun to watch and laugh at them all the same.
 
It's all a hoax, Jeb is pulling the strings. It's a diversion, Biden will die, then Jeb will be inserted as the true and honest President.

Welcome, 46. Jeb Bush.
 
So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year, but

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you


(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

Didn't Biden lay out his vision on his website? I remember a lot of stuff regarding gun control. And getting back in deals Trump took us out of.

If it was convincing, we would have seen it in the primaries. Instead, the primaries was a clown show as they desperately tried to find their organic candidate. Instead, they chose the most compromised person they could, which is why the election fraud is so obvious.

War against a weak nation, but I was talking about Taiwan. China is the one nation the US has absolutely zero interest in fighting, even if China is in the wrong.

Who even thinks about "being in the wrong" for geopolitics? Nobody who is involved with decisionmaking in any case.

Besides, the same holds true vice versa. The US is one country that China has zero interest in fighting. So it's a game of chicken, more or less.
 
I just want the shit that Trump did that every honest person agrees with was good for the country to continue.

Keep drawing down troops from Afghanistan. We have no reason to be there anymore. Protect the American workers by getting more stuff like the USMCA signed.

I don't think I'm unreasonable here.

Very thoughtful of the Chicoms to look after his thinking. Thinking hurts. All old Joe wants to do is sniff young female hair.

Here's the thing: China isn't one to just sit idly by when someone resists them or doesn't get with the program (see Hong Kong and the Ughyurs). The United States owes China one trillion dollars. When someone owes you money, you hold power over them. So China could easily do whatever they can to at least get their money, even if it takes taking a more direct approach to things in regards to the US.

The Chicoms probably know not to be too provocative. Big debtors can have a lot of leverage as the creditor wants and needs payment. Donald Trump and any property magnate know that. There's a lot of financial fuckery the US could indulge in if the Chicoms started to forget themselves.

There's that saying,
If you owe the bank $100, that's your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that's the bank's problem.

That’s a strange way to say Biden’s friend. Keep in mind that he hired someone who said he commutes all the time and not, you know, someone who actually understands that transportation to be the head of the DoT.

If things get more adverserial, who has the leverage exactly? It's not like China can throw the US out of their house like a landlord could. How do you collect debt from someone armed to the teeth and then some? Only by consent.

I'm not saying the US would lightly renege on debt, credit ratings and all, but it's not the same power relationship as it is between indivuals or private companies with a government to enforce contracts and such. Nobody can throw the US in jail. That's the value of a vastly superior military.
