The consequence of putting a person in the presidency simply because he is not Trump.

The American Political Circus continues. :mrgreen:


Unfortunately you're right. Choosing between Trump and Biden was like choosing between being burned alive or drowning to death. We had no good choices for leadership and that's exactly why America Is ****ed.


Well that and the fact that many Americans on both the right and left side of politics have turned into a bunch of selfish stupid and mean-spirited pricks who are more interested in hurting the other side than they are in trying to actually fix this country.

What we are going through is exactly why I believe in this thing called 'The Horseshoe Theory' when it comes to politics It's like during and after World War 2 when Germany got torn in half by both Fascists AND Communists.

That's basically what America is going through right now. The GOP is embracing fascism while the so-called Progressives are pushing for communism.


And both parties can deny it or twist words all they want. It is what it is. We've all seen this sort of thing happen to other countries in the past and it never ends well.

inbetween all this political staging , has no one noticed the size of the Military budget of USA as compared to the rest of the US portion of the budget. For the last great many years .
It causes me to wonder , if their is some hidden Military dictatorship Somewhere in the US actually pulling the strings

No. It's just the legacy of World War Two and the Cold War. Today we contemplate a world where we may need to nuke China and Russia.

At the rate things are going over the past few years in US politics, we are more likely to nuke ourselves than another country in my opinion.

it almost seems like a sickness , if we are going to start using nukes might aswell nuke the world .
The long term effects on the earth and its population . Would be similiar. to Say making War on
Micronesia or Andorra. effects on the Planet would be similiar. Nuclear Winters Etc.
Even limited nuclear exchanges. Would have extended effects . But i agree with the conclusion.
Given the insanity that runs these larger Countries , Militaries .

I still do not regret voting for Biden, all things said and done I'd still rather have him than Trump.

But I mean that is not setting the bar very high at all. And yeah sure I feel disappointed I thought maybe the democrats would try to be different this time...but uhhh they just wont stand up for themselves, if it wasn't for voter pressure they'd just let the republicans overrun everything.

Truth is the republicans and democrats both suck...

How about no nukes, idk maybe some space aliens can come and render all our nukes unusable, but knowing terrible humans we'd probably still find a way around to still blow up our planet in spite of the space aliens trying to stop us from doing it.

Did anyone actually want Biden, or did they just want Trump gone? I can understand a vote against Trump, but I don't know who Biden would have appealed to in a vacuum, the man's whole pitch was not being Trump.

While getting rid of the human/orangutan hybrid was a big part of it, I did genuinely respect Biden's decades of experience in government, which also was important to me when I cast my vote.
True fact: Trump had sued Bill Maher years ago for saying Trump's biological father was an orangutan. The judge laughed Trump out of court.
