trump quelled many of these issues and they were not a problem even a year ago. IE Russia not amassing troops of Ukrainian boarder, china not threatening invasion of Taiwan.. and if you didn't know both of those countries enjoy protections afforded to them by the united nations which is almost all usa funded and staffed.

Kim supported Trump for no better reason than he could play your president like a cheap fiddle.
What do you mean they’re ‘back’ to launching missiles. They never (apart from a few very brief pauses) STOPPED launching missiles. They launched them all through the Trump regime.
You should keep up with the news. Russia made its move on Ukraine seven years ago. The current troop massing is typical posturing.
While the US is the largest contributor to the UN, it’s simply wrong to say that it’s ‘almost all funded and staffed’ by the US. 78% of the UN budget comes from countries other than the US.
You didn’t answer my questions about civil unrest or the threat of war on your own shores.

there is how well biden has done on each issue in relation to the ideal solution from perspective of different points of view, and then there is how well biden has done considering he has certain amount of political capital with his constituency, the rest of the electorate, the country’s allies, and even enemies with whom actions still require trust by them. If we use the latter holistic approach I would give Biden an A for his first 3 month.

did you listen to the whole phone call between trump and ga, top election officials or are you going by the initial fake news story?? seems after the election they found the full phone call. turns out trump is telling the Georgia officials that they have evidence that between 250 to 300k forge ballots were identified. and long story short (trump goes over all the different fraudulent votes that got counted and legal votes that were not counted) if you (ga election officials) authenticate forged ballots "it could be very bad for you" then trump goes on to say i don't need you to find all 300k i just need you to identify 11,000 bad ballots or so and he trump would not seek prosecution on the 290k ballots that were wrongly authenticated. because he only supposely lost the state by a few thousand votes. and the 11K would cover the spread.

And you really think that BLM is likely to blow up skyscrapers? Even though the vast majority of BLM protests in the past year or so have been non-violent and that, in many of the cases where they did become violent, they weren't the ones initiating it? And you think that black people are likely to defect en masse from the Democratic party when, as lackluster as their responses have historically been, the Republicans have, in recent memory, become far more hostile to their struggle up to and including outright quoting past racist politicians?
I'm aware that the government has long found ways to fuck black people over with mass incarceration, and that not only have the Democrats helped with it, Biden helped write a bill that helped make it worse. There's literally a documentary about mass incarceration called 13th on Netflix (and also Youtube) about how mass incarceration is basically a continuation of slavery. That said, your scenario of how Biden could turn on black people hinges on six impossible things happening before breakfast. Or at the least, highly unlikely. I highly doubt that, at this point, Biden's going to get a worse view than "lesser of two evils."

Not only that, but the extraordinary misjudgement that having done that (if it had worked somehow), he could still actually govern.
Trump's entire life is nothing, if not a long series of bad judgements, business, personal, moral and political.
One of the worst, if not THE worst, was he imagined he could still govern, if he had actually somehow reversed a legitimate election.
He still is working on the basis of that idiocy.
Then there's his great wall.
https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politi...l-ladders/
Millions of dollars a mile .... foiled by $5.00 ladders. LOL I guess there are no callouses from work on your hands... (if you think you can get a 30+ ft ladder for 5 bucks) plus have you ever had to carry even a 10ft ladder any distance?? do you know how ladders work? so ok lets say you can carry this 80 lb ladder to the wall from the ace hardware in Honduras that you paid 500.00 dollars for. you carry it for 1000+ miles you prop it up climb to the top... then what? how do you get down to the other side? 30feet is enough to break your legs if not kill you if you land wrong... so do you carry two ladders? one to climb up? one to climb down?
here's the real thing though what happened when you were caught under trump no matter what? you got sent back. so do you even try or do you stay home? according to the us border patrol in record numbers people stayed home. where there were hundreds if not thousands of crossings a month trump got the numbers down to a few dozen between his wall and policies. . now what happens under biden free path to citizenship.. now we he thousands of crossings a week.
less about the physical wall and more about breaking the spirit of the person who would illegally enter the country

We get it, browns keep you up at night. The trumpster never did anything to solve that problem, but whatevs, right?
In the longer view (crosses fingers) it may be hard to beat trump. No modern president has done more to separate hateful rubes from their money and political authority. Simultaneously grifting the base, starving the party, and destroying the brand. Couldn't happen to worse people. You love to see it.

About those ladders, the $5 estimate is because they're not buying those fiberglass extension ladders. They're making them out of scrap lumber. The article outright states this.
So think less this:
And more this:
or this
And those are actual specimens of the ladders being used. They might not be quite as sturdy as those expensive ladders, but they don't have to be used more than once. And while I'm not sure about the prices of scrap lumber in McAllen, Texas, I'm willing to wager that it might be less expensive on the Reynosa, Mexico side of the fence.

They don't need ladders. The wall wasn't built, and they're disassembling fence on-site not to cross the border...but to get the fence.
Mexico is building a wall, and we're paying for it.
If the trumpets had an ounce of sense, they'd tell pharoah to let their people go.

Trump was lying out his ass. He had no evidence of any fraudulent votes, and HAS no evidence. There is none.
If there were some, it would be all over all the news outlets. The REPUBLICAN officials in Georgia stood behind their numbers.
There were no fraudulent votes that got counted, and there is no evidence of any.
He never said I need you to "identify bad ballotts". He asked them to "find" ballotts ....
Yup. Election fraud.
I have listened to the entire call.
He lost the state because he lost the state. He's a loser.
That's why he needed to incite a coup ... the first and only insurrection by an American president in history. Even Pence knew it was wrong.
He's a traitor, and so are those who support him.

this is a dishonest assessment. as on icbm's are our only concern. as everything n.korea launches is not a WMD or a system platform to deliver a wmd. they have a space program such as it is/launching spy satalites. also are developing very short range anti aircraft and ship missiles. it is the intermediate and long range missiles that concern us and out allies. launching missiles over Japanese cites are designed to unnerve and scare the hell out of the japanese people. these launches happened before trump sat down with kim and he stopped all missile firing for all of 2018 and did not resume to mid year 2019 with a series of short range 'defensive missiles/anti ship anti air craft. it wasn't till october when he started with the sub launch tests. he didn't start arming missiles with live war heads and blowing up targets (as he was just firing the rocket bodies into the sea previously) till biden took office, then on march 25 he fired one of these live war head missles of japan, which cause them to mobilize their navy... again if japan a member of the united nations goes to war with north korea, so do we, and if we are in china and russia back n korea. do you not see this as a problem?
