horsefly 4,296 Posted March 19, 2021 Can't work out whether Trump has shi*t himself, or whether he's just forgotten how to walk. You can certainly see him mouthing "left" "right" repeatedly as he demonstrates his athleticism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imagine that. According to you lot, an old man, who cant speak properly and can't walk properly. And he walloped your man. An incumbent who had everything in his favour and even tried to fix the vote by trying to get rid of postal votes. And the real Americans didn't want him. Only the inbred siht kicking banjo playing racist monkeys voted for him. What group are you in? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same as you. Over 74 million voters (46.8%) did vote for him however, incidentally the highest total for any presidential candidate bar Biden, so that's an awful lot of fake Americans to write off. And it wasn't a record margin of victory either. Biden got a 4.5% lead in the popular vote, but in 2008 Obama recorded a 7% lead. Still, Trump is history now, a busted flush who has little political relevance. It's now and the future that matters and fortunately VP Harris is young enough to take over when the inevitable happens. I just hope she is being included in all the important decisions so that she can hit the ground running when called on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GOP are not white supremacists. There are many people of colour in that party and it's beneath serious debate to suggest what you write. We should all pray for the health and wise rule of the POTUS and VPOTUS whoever they and we might be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surfer 1,547 Posted March 21, 2021 The GQP are not white supremacists .... please. You will be arguing the Proud Boys were just protecting their culture again next. This is a zombie Republican Party, and a zombie Conservative Party - they're both pathetically xenophobic and blatantly corrupt. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be a smaller percentage of voters than those who voted against Brexit, but apparently those can be written off. Go on admit it, only the "right" votes should be allowed to count... Republican logic is if we win, then we won and we will exercise power, but if we lose we should be allowed to keep power anyway.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And it is no more apparent than in the attempt by Republicans to disenfranchise millions of black Americans. We saw it in the 60 egregious failed lawsuits Trump brought to throw out millions of black votes. And we see it again now as Republican state legislatures attempt to criminalise the main ways black citizens tend to vote, none more cynical than banning Sunday voting in the full knowledge that many black people vote after attending church: https://edition.cnn.com/2021/03/12/opinions/republican-party-irony-voting-rights-wertheimer/index.html Republicans in state legislatures around the country are racing to enact new laws to restrict voter access that could leave millions of eligible citizens -- many of them people of color -- struggling to vote in future elections. According to the Brennan Center for Justice, more than 250 bills have been filed in 43 states to restrict voting -- more than seven times the number filed at a similar time last year. The most far-reaching voter suppression effort is underway in Georgia. The Republican-controlled House there has passed legislation to require photo ID for absentee voting, limit the early voting period, restrict ballot drop box locations and reduce Sunday voting in October to one Sunday -- a move aimed directly at Black churches and Black voters.

nevermind, neoliberalism has had it 159 Posted March 21, 2021 As long as this octogenarian does not want to mark his bit part in history, lets face it he has just about supported any of the bloddiest US atrocities committed abroad, by starting a spat with Russia, leading to a major confrontation. Jaw jaw comes with moving about and talking to people, not throwing personal invective's at them from a safe distance. Kamala Harris is waiting in the wings and her record does not show that she would look to seek peace in Syria and or be staunch when it comes to the hastily renamed Palestine. Biden and herself were fully behind the butchering of Ghaddafi and the bombing of Baghdad, she is a hard line lawyer who has no crux with empathy and or the feeling of others, not a good combination to ameliorate the problems of a polarized US population or sorting out the purveyors of war, the arms industry. Our problem lies in being too big for our boots and being in debt to the tune of 2.131 trillion, soon unable to pay the interest rates, should they ever go over 1 %.

Your lack of a university education is painfully evident every time you post some piece of right-wing racism, misogyny, homophobia etc etc. Do feel free to provide the percentages of Bame people who voted Biden compared to those who voted Trump.
