Our political system is broken, but why exactly should we care what Europeans think?

[Freiheit Reich]

I wonder if he negotiated with his advisers over his farewell speech. "If I don't talk about the election being stolen, you have to let me say China virus!"

I hope you have good reasons for defending and trying to protect the PRC. I prefer calling it the Wuhan Virus because China is too large and many believe it originated in the city of Wuhan. Are leftists also angry we say 'Lyme Disease' (after all, Connecticut is a blue state)?

No, Calling Covid-19 ‘Chinese Virus’ Is Not Racist

Lyme disease was diagnosed as a separate condition for the first time in 1975 in Old Lyme, Connecticut.[16]

Communist China Sentences Journalist Who Reported Government’s Wuhan Virus Malfeasance

https://thefederalist.com/2020/12/28/co ... lfeasance/

Communist China sentenced a citizen journalist who reported on China’s early COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan to four years in prison for “picking quarrels and provoking trouble.” Zhang Zhan shared video footage of overwhelmed hospitals in the virus-stricken city and challenged the state-controlled media’s narrative about the virus, criticizing the Chinese Communist’s Party response to the outbreak.

Mocking calling COVID-19 "China virus" is not protecting the PRC. You can think it's dumb to call COVID-19 "China virus" and despise the PRC.

Yeah...we rebelled against the British for a reason .
But I do like Europe.

Which is why you got no proof give it up already. Trump was a fucking disgrace and failed on covid so he lost.

Yep. I expect the virus not to be a significant problem in 3 weeks in the USA now that Biden is in charge. People convinced me that Trump is to blame for the virus so if the virus is still a big problem in the USA in 3 weeks, who can we blame?

My expectations are high Mr. Biden. Please don't disappoint me. If you do, I expect you (or at least your followers) to issue a public apology to Mr. Trump. The alternative is for the media to equally blame Mr. Biden for any deaths that occur 2-3 weeks after today and constantly attack him.

Personally, I know what I wrote is pure bull manure. Biden and Trump are not God and they are not scientists. These 'gentlemen' didn't create the virus and blaming the deaths on them is unfair.

Trump can fairly be blamed for the number of covid deaths in the US because of his staggering failure to wield the power of the presidency to try and fight the spread of the virus, his efforts to deceive the American people about the severity of the virus, his opposition to mask wearing, his absurd lies about miracle cures, and the several people he personally infected with covid-19.

Will Biden be equally to blame for the deaths that occur under his watch? We'll have to wait and see if he does do everything he can to save lives.

[Cannot think of a name]

I didn't know this part:

If W. wasn't a war criminal and responsible for some pretty heinous shit, he really would be a cool dude to grab a beer with.

I had a cat that was pure liquid evil. She was also cute as fuck. It's how she got away with being some of the evil fucking shit she did. Bush II should have been the death of the idea of selecting a president based on who you'd like to grab a beer with.

Is the idea of having a POTUS who's not on record saying "I don't take responsibility" so utterly terrifying?

Hell, Biden even wants to implement a national strategy! Who can live at that speed??

[Freiheit Reich]

W got a second term, though.

Well, yes, but that was the Values Election since the economy, while not stellar, was doing okay and the wars were still mostly supported by Americans at that moment so it was a vote on gay marriage and abortion. That and Kerry came off as too elitist for too many people.

I remember that election. I was upset that people focused on two relatively minor issues. After all, even if abortion were banned, it is easy to go to Canada and gays could still have a marriage ceremony and be intimate with each other and banning their marriage would also prevent them from getting legal divorces.

Too bad we couldn't make a good chant that rhymes with Bush to protest the Iraq War.

Kerry was also war monger:

https://www.commondreams.org/views/2019 ... s-iraq-war

Kerry defended Biden's vote on the war, but what gave Biden or Kerry of Bush the right to even want to ban a sovereign nation from having weapons (assuming the worst case scenario was actually true)?

Very excited for America to learn that it is sometimes possible for a government to do good things.

Airforce One taking off with the Trump family onboard. Fuck off!

That is not very nice.

[The New California Republic]

What a fucking weird argument.

[Istoreya]

Who gives a fuck? Trump doesn't deserve our respect, let alone our kindness.

[Cannot think of a name]

Kind of looking forward to not having everything described as 'the likes of which has never been seen' or 'no one could believe it' or 'a lot of people said it couldn't be done' etc.

[Esalia]

I'm sure Trump can live with the ego damage from a random person on the internet telling him to fuck off.

[Gravlen]

They weren't very nice, so...

[Freiheit Reich]

They should've just kicked the bastard down the steps. No Air Force One ride, no speech, no cameras, no farewells, no 21 gun salute, etc. Just throw him out and lock the door.

He got more than he deserved.

Same goes for Obama right? Or did you forget about the innocent people Obama killed and his attacks on Americans' civil liberties?

[Valrifell]

We're about to live in precedented times again.

[Neutraligon]

Hopefully it remains as ceremonial. Ceremony is nice after the 6th.

[Picairn]

-snip-

I hope you have good reasons for defending and trying to protect the anti-Chinese racism that stemmed from calling it the China virus.

Pretty well deserved, though.

This idea that America is essentially European in culture makes no sense and we should stop priding ourselves on our so called “Europeanness”

What's up with Poland and Hungary? "Nah, they'll work it out..."

EDIT: Like the Foot Clan showed up there are so many ninjas...

Comparison. Both were ruled by communist dictators until 30 years ago.
