It will die quickly and people will get bored, hard onâs only for Trump, thats it, a US today thread will quickly lose appeal, there is no bogeyman anymore, well Biden could be if he sells a lot of countries down the river but even then people on here wonât choose to acknowledge it as theyâre blinded.
NOT NOW WEâRE NOT!
Thanks for the heads up BazzaâŚwho would have thunk it.

Taiwan, South Korea and many others many not necessarily agree with you, Trumps isolationist America first policy has actually kept them out of invasion and conflict.
Donât even try to argue or skew that fact.
Thatâs a strong debating position. Youâre not allowed to argue back. Sounds like something Tehran would do.

Has Trumps isolationist stance been peaceful compared to previous regimes?
Yes, more so than invasion, that is a fact, fuck me dead and fuck me sideways.
I donât argue BazzaâŚI just tell you the factsâŚyou just sit and listen.

My point wasnât about that. You are starting to infest other threads again @Barry-Sanchez.
Do you reckon you could fuck off this one and let the adults talk?

Republicans are quickly adopting normal obstructive tactics. Wonât cooperate on anything unless they retain the fillibuster, which of course allows them to block everything. Having initially shown disapproval for Trumpâs insurrectionist behaviour, theyâre now recanting and will vote on party lines to acquit, allowing a Trump comeback in 2024.
Itâs appalling how they can only think of playing dirty, but not surprising. They have an attitude of entitlement to power and need to keep the rules heavily biased towards the GOP - voter suppression, gerrymandering, blocking legislation with a minority vote. Sadly, for every one Republican who can see the need to dump Trump and rebuild the party on its core values, there are ten who think aggressive Trumpism is their only salvation.
Biden and the Dems have no alternative to fighting fire with fire and giving the finger to the GOP attitude that they do whatever they like when in power with no constraint or bi-partisanship, but expect the Dems to do the opposite, almost only acting with the support of the GOP. They must use two years to restore proper democracy and voting rights, smash the fillibuster, encourage anyone to put Trump in jail and work on the near impossible task of showing to his moronic supporters what a total ignorant arsehole the man really is.

I said this months ago Trumpism is here to stay, the Republican party have to bring them along so the party will be very right for the time being, the thing is consensus politics on both sides is a thing of the past, both sides of the divide are to blame, maybe Blairism for all its ills had something about it?
And also lets not forget the democrats apart from Sanders and maybe Cortez lines are aligned with tories, lets not think theyâre fluffy and nice socialists.

I agree with you Barry. Itâs going to be interesting watching how things go. Itâs a bit worrying though that I find it more interesting than UK politics at the moâ having given up on Johnson & Coâs ability to run the UK.
Hope the rest of Fam_Sanchez are doing ok btw.

I keep looking at the election map and particularly, the places where Trump won. He won big there, sometimes with margins of over 70%. That canât be tenable long term in places that are bigger than most countries.
What do you mean by that? Those constituencies are within the US.
Well, the place is called the United States of America because most of the states are the size of countries in other parts of the world.
Technically, the USA if a federation of countries. Think of it as an EU set up 325 years ago where they solved the language issue by murdering the natives and forcing the slaves to learn English.
Many of those âcountriesâ just wonât feel represented by this administration.

But theyâre in a nation as it stands your comment counts for a large fuck all. Nations that have few parties always leads to a large swathe of the populace unhappy with any result.
That is obvious.
You have to change the parties, and the only way to do that is to change the voting system and in turn youâll lead to more European style of consensus politics, something I totally agree with.
Barry, I wasnât arguing with you then and Iâm not arguing with you now.
Have a think about lowering your hostility setting or Iâll disable it altogether.
