Biden Screws Up

[Jimdamick]

Yeah I've been to you country 3 times now and the homeless crisis is the US is just absolutely staggering. Even when we went to Hawaii it was bad in Honolulu and it's and island paradise.
The homeless that come from the tunnels and onto the streets at night in Las Vegas was just amazing.
LAs homeless was also like nothing I've ever seen anywhere else in the world and I've been through Europe, Asia and North America.
The rich get richer and everyone else get homeless!!

Where are you from?
Stay there and never come back, it will shatter your dreams & depress you, guaranteed.
Yup, that's one huge problem that Americans have, that they really, really have this bizarre notion that they're #1, truly exceptional and the rest of the World sucks or are "shithole nations"
Yea, we're exceptional amongst industrialized/Western nations in that we have more imates in jail or on Death row, more mass murders, more guns, more income inequality, more infections due to the Viruses & refusing to wear PPE's or get a vaccination and fucked up Educational/Medical systems where we produce idiots & bankrupt people with our exorbitant medical costs.
Yea, the USA is a fucking Paradise, right?
After all, electing this motherfucker proves it

It's because over half the country was dragging it's heels on change, but they are in a minority now and know it, as the country evolves into the future. Recently they've dug their heels in and concentrated the hate and stupid almost exclusively inside the republican party as the half decent folks walked out as independents for the most part. They now have to cheat to win, they have for awhile, but now it must be more open and brazen, because they know they've lost so much ground, even since the election. Republicans now make up around 24%, democrats 36% and independents around 41%, but a majority of them are probably former republicans who lean right. That's probably why the republicans ran ahead of Trump himself in 2020 and surprised many.

This is a time of transition and cold civil war, such periods of major social and political change are often accompanied by turmoil and upheaval. The problems you describe are largely 40 years of this divisive bullshit with racists in both parties, now the situation is different and the parties are polarized along the traditional American fault line of race. Everything else including the culture wars are a proxy. Now you have a situation where it has come to a head, if one side gains enough of the upper hand they will exterminate the other using the law as a cudgel. The democrats will reform voting and open the franchise up and the republicans will kill democracy and institute authoritarian rule, gutting or destroying the constitution and opening the gates of Hell. One way is forward into the future, the other is backward into the past.

Yeah, we're No. 1# when it comes to idiots. I just heard we reached the bottom on health care in most categories, not surprising though. The the future is not very bright.

perhaps you should just say what you disagree with or need clarification on..do you deny that the 30% sided with King George?

Mark Meadows: Trump meeting with his 'cabinet' (despite not having one) - CNN Video

Former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows told Newsmax that the former president has been holding meetings with his "cabinet" despite not being president. New York Times reporter and CNN political analyst Maggie Haberman has the details.

out of respect, i would never make such a snarky comment to any of our Legacy Members.

Yeah right!

I'm one of the original members, and you post more criticism of the job I do than anyone else.

You live in a glass house, and you toss rocks by the bushel.

did you ever come to me and say that i was put on slowdown for 30 erroneously by another mod but you didn't know because no one told you?

do you have me on ignore so i can't PM you?

do you not answer my posts when directed to you?

maybe that has something to do with it?

 

[mooray]

It's all good. We all get a little wonky sometimes. This has been an exceptionally stressful time in recent history, more so than 9/11, imo.

You must have missed the Philippines and the parts of those countries where you claim you never saw anything like what you saw in America. I'm not going to bother posting pictures. Just type "homeless and whatever country you want". You'll find scenes that make America look like heaven regarding the homeless problem. If you think it's only bad in America then you haven't been looking very hard.

 

[mooray]

There are definitely some differences. In other countries, it's considered shameful and they put their head down and hold out their hands and are super appreciative for anything you'd be willing to give. Here, I've seen people get almost fighting mad because a stranger wouldn't buy them a latte at starbucks. Shame and embarrassment are virtually extinct in the US and have been replaced with an extreme sense of entitlement and unearned self-worth.

 

[CatHedral]

nope

Republicans caused this mess.

I am weak on the facts in this instance. I know the Scotus said "sorry no" and the Executive wanted this. How much obstruction came from Congress? shrug

I realize Biden could have written an executive order, but he is wise to mind his burn rate. Your previous post about politial capital was spot on. The calculus will shift after the first top-tier elected Republicn getting indicted. Biden is wise to play a long game imo.

Same old irrational lefty bs.

"Democrats are why Republicans blocked it".

Biden was chosen by the majority of Demo0crats because he was more center than left.

If we had chosen Sanders, he'd have lost and we'd be dealing with Trump's takeover of our government. Biden is pragmatic and he's nailing the top priorities. Rent relief is a losing issue in the polls. Just like Sanders's woefully inadequate and politically stupid Medicare for All "plan". But the left would rather lose than be pragmatic.

I am pretty pleased with Biden's course of performance.

and now you have your pragmatic Joe; the stars are aligned once again.

Heaps of homeless people all over Asia. The Philippines I have not been to but the Philippines is also a very poor country compared to America which is by far the world's richest.
I don't go round looking for homeless people on holidays it's just very evident everywhere you look in the some parts of the US.
I think I read 2 out of the top 5 cities for homelessness are in America. I'll try find the link.
No need to get sand in vagina about it it's just the way it is!!

Yeah mate ide agree with all that. Geographically the US is an absolutely stunning country.
Australia where I come from is also very beautiful but a lot of the same for 1000s of Kms.
Ahhh gun violence something the rest of the world just stands back and shakes their heads at. Just so many senseless deaths at the hands of people with mental illness who have easy access guns.

Australia huh? I would have liked to have seen it but it's too far away for me.
I have a cousin in Melbourne.
See the rest of the world 1st, I found it to be more interesting and generally more humane than here.
This place has always pissed me off with it's wars, racism & general violence & it's only getting fucking worse.
Fucking tragic, it really is

I agree, Blue States and Blue Cities, definite shitholes, Red States, Red Cities, not so much. Someday you guys might wake up and realize, that it's your elected officials destroying your areas, by design.

Compare income/education levels between Red/Blue states.
What do you see, you blathering idiot?
Yea, that's right!
Red states are welfare sponges & full of the Dumbest people on the fucking Planet Earth (you, for example) & that is an irrefutable fact.
Oh, but your a Republican right?
So facts and logic have no place in your fucked up head, right?
You probably believe, along with 53% of the Republican voters that the election was stolen from Trump & he's the true POTUS
You do, don't you?
