    The GOP seem to be already regressing, getting worried about deficits. They are also developing amnesia as to what happened just two weeks ago and seems now very little chance of Trump being convicted, no matter what the evidence.
    Correctly, a full inquiry needs to be conducted by a Congress committee as to how the whole mess on the 6th unfolded.

    Every democratic president has been a disaster post WW2. All war criminals for starters.

    Biden will be up with the worst of them.

    What war did Jimmy Carter engage in?

    Trump has been responsible for more American deaths in 11 months than during the entirety of WWII.

    Airstrikes in Afghanistan increased civillian deaths by 330% since 2016.

    Oh and here's another fun fact! Of the 4 presidential impeachments in US history, Republicans are responsible for 3/4 of them.

    What a legacy!

    And they couldn't find any dirt on Bill Clinton so just went after a stain instead.

    President Biden now has the opportunity to stop it. The Democrats have control of the house and a narrow margin in the Senate. They can do it.


    And they plan to so I'm not sure what you're getting at. You's complaining that they have no plans to do something that they plan to do. This is like a toddler crying when they see another kid with an ice cream and forget the ice cream in their hand.

    During his Senate confirmation hearing on Tuesday, Secretary of State-designate Anthony Blinken said President Joe Biden’s administration would end U.S. support for Saudi Arabia’s military intervention in Yemen, which in Blinken’s words had “contributed to … the worst humanitarian situation anywhere in the world.”

    You live in an insane online world of fringe conspiracy theorists. Almost every single claim you've made in that post is verifiably false. But there's no point trying to convince you of anything, of course.


    As the saying goes; you can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into to begin with.

    Big pharma is smiling big right now. The big three insulin producers are Eli Lilly and Company, Novo Nordisk A/S, and Sanofi S.A., in which they dominate more than 90% of the world insulin market by value. After swearing-in, U.S. President Joe Biden’s HHS froze the Trump administration’s December 2020 drug policy that mandates community health centers to pass on all their insulin and epinephrine discount savings to patients.

    Biden doesnt care about people with long term illness.

    His EO suspended all recent rule changes not just this. Bad faith posting to imply he specifically targeted insulin discounts as something to take away from people.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,343 ✭✭✭dwayneshintzy


    Biden has frozen all Trump executive orders. It's dishonest to claim that he's singled this order out in this way, or that he won't have action on it himself.

    Yes every Democratic president....

    Truman, JFK, Clinton and Obama all rank high by historian scholars. Nixon, Bush Jr and Trump among lowest ranked of all time presidents. Reagan was smooth talker but make no mistake his 8 years greatly hurt America and led all the wealth moving to top.

    Lets pick up JFK, he was not in power when US supported an invasion in Cuba? Then USA almost started a nuclear war during the crisis of the missiles. Far as now he also increased tension with Vietnam, who kicked the yankees from their country. And after the war we were forced to see hundreds of movies (made in USA) about the war that they lost. So ridiculous those people.


  • Registered Users Posts: 719 ✭✭✭flatface



    Or he is suspicious of any of Trump’s executive orders and how well thought out they are beyond the headline. Let’s see if it is indeed reviewed and there is any action.

    How was Clinton a war criminal? He intervened in the former Yugoslavia where genocide was being carried out.
    How was Obama a war criminal? He intervened in Libya where Gaddafi was bombing his own people.

    Bear in mind Bush Snr launched the 1st Gulf war, Bush Jnr the 2nd (and afghanistan). Trump tried, but thankfully failed to start a war in the US. He also carried on in the same way Obama had done but stopped reporting these activities.

    Looking forward to seeing your answer.

    Very simple to answer this... By bombing civilian trains and buses full of ordinary people. About the so called genocide, very strange that all the countries they bomb there is an alleged genocide. Very strange they would save some people and leave other countries, lets say China, do thw genocides they want.

    I'm a Biden fan but this sort of reporting was done all the time with Trump.
    You just got to accept it's going to happen.
    And to be fair, imo these things should have been looked at and the good parts, if there were any, left in place. Freezing all orders without looking at them is going too far I think.

    They've frozen all orders to do precisely that; have a look at them. It's literally described in the link I provided in my post.

    I did read the links I posted to you before. Why are you saying I haven't? They were to show that Trump was not an "anti-war" President. That was also in a thread about Donald Trump, by the way (Link).


    This is a thread about Joe Biden, and I'm trying to stay on topic here. Not sure what it is you're doing, though.

    I've responded to you directly, if you'd like to have a read of that post.

    On a Biden note that you may be interested in, however; the Biden administration is looking to end involvement in the Saudis war in Yemen (something which Trump refused to do). Link

    He didn't "promise to stop Covid." The author of that tweet lied.

    So you're a Republican supporter.....got it, but the amount of TOTAL bias in your post is STUNNING..:eek:

    Obama and Clinton especially have been stand out good presidents imo. Obama turned around the US after the crash, then handed a growing economy to Trump.

    So by your reasoning all Military actions by Democrats = war criminal
    Military actions by Republican Presidents = right and necessary actions to defend the US!!!!!!

    Please cop on and at least try to be objective.

    Plus Biden is not even in the job a week and u think he will " be the worst of them"

    Your prejudice is shocking.

    The poorest kids will suffer the most under Biden. Their parents will lose their jobs and their education will suffer badly with these cuts.

    If they are going to stop the oil industry they need replacement jobs and upskilling.

    Well the topic of which presidents were war criminals and which weren’t isnt related to the topic of Joe Biden’s presidency.

    You’re the one telling people to get back on topic while at the same time pretending to be a big man calling people out on off-topic discussions.

    wait.... replacement jobs and upskilling...isn't that... the big bad scary "s" thing if the government provides them?

    And a 60 day moratorium on *new* leases isn't that scary, if you read the AP article the concern is that oil leases on Federal lands, predominate in NM but is something that's been a political football since forever.

    So, if I get you right, you're advocating for more government handouts to the poor?

    And this is a prime example of why Donald Trump is popular and won in 2016. He offers seemingly easy solutions to complex problems. Like his "one day the virus will just disappear" or "build the wall" to solve all the immigration woes. A lot of people are attracted to that populism. It's easy to digest and solutions to complex problems appear easily found. You see it here with SF.

    Unfortunately governing and solving complex issues is much more difficult. It takes time and often the decisions needed to solve those issues can appear unpopular i.e. Keystone XL pipeline. A lot of people prefer the easy solutions to reality.

    All Biden has ensured is the US will buy oil from elsewhere and not Canada.

    The Keystone pipeline passed all the necessary environmental Environmental standards. The oil they get from elsewhere will come from projects with very little.
