Put the country before himself - yes, finally, but he’s done it.

Please God let my country be ok.

‘The classic unintelligent woman critique. The same insult flung at Angela Rayner. It’s lazy and to be honest it’s sexist.’

Umm, yes, Kamala Harris and Angela Rayner, maybe it is just a fair critique. Never heard anyone say it of Hilary Clinton or Rachel Reeves.

You don’t hear men in politics criticised for lacking intelligence regardless of how inept they are.

Trump wanted to inject people with bleach to cure covid

It's "shoo-in", not "shoe-in".

Men also get away with being close mates of Epstein, for example, while Hilary was tagged as a paedophile and child murderer during her campaign.

The world still hates women, unfortunately for America right now.

Kamala is very left wing for the US electorate. Also, some black voters dislike her apparently on about some decisions she made in the past. Who knows but at least Biden is gone from the elections but still president until January.

Justcallmebebes · 21/07/2024 20:08

The Democrats won't stand Harris. She has zero chance against Trump so my guess is she'll be quietly sidelined before long

HPFA · 21/07/2024 20:08

Apparently some Republicans are talking about a legal challenge to prevent new Democrat challenger being on the ballot.

They clearly aren't entirely sure that Trump is going to win or they wouldn't be considering that step.

I think they have just accepted that they will lose this one and are using Harris in this regard.

Seems unlikely given her job but if that suits your narrative

She was chosen because she was mixed race and a woman to begin with.

I do wish people wouldn’t call him sleepy Joe.

childish and nasty.

OK. How about corrupt, sex pest Joe?

What would you call trump then 🤔

According to CNN there's claims that fundraising, which had dried to a trickle, has started flooded in again from people who were refusing to keep supporting Biden.

I mean, they'd obviously say such things, but still.

Trump is a rapist
He went on many trips with a confirmed paedophile and trafficker
He made highly inappropriate comments about his daughter
He did not pardon his son and made it clear he wouldn’t while trump has pardoned people who actually threatened the democracy of the country

I wish people wouldn’t do this. Like when they said Hillary couldn’t be president because her husband had affairs and instead voted in someone who had affairs themselves

I don’t think Biden is an angel but this is a terrible argument for why you should vote for trump

Edited

I didn’t say I thought people should vote for Trump. I pointed out that Biden isn’t praise worthy and is also a creepy sex offender.

From what I'm hearing it's more or less Harris.

Idiot of course he hasn’t he hung on until he knew it was impossible or rather Jill did she finally gave up the power trip.

I have no illusions at all about Trump and I'd describe Trump as pretty much the same, but the praising of Biden is very much misplaced.

Just because I criticise one, doesn't mean praise for the other

Trump

@ConsiderabloiRicherthanYow it was a genocide.

IndigoIsMyFavouriteColour · 21/07/2024 20:16

Have all these people who are singing Biden's praises, ever looked into his past?

The man joked about his role in the bombing of Belegrade. He made up WOMD and was a huge reason for the invasion of Iraq. He is not 'one of the good guys' and he has presided over a complete breakdown in international relations both in Europe and abroad.

How anyone can see this man as good or righteous is beyond me. He is anything but. Worst president America (and the world) have ever had to contend with.

Thank you. Exactly what I've been saying. Neither Biden nor Trump are worthy of office

Vergus · 21/07/2024 20:16

If I was American I’d be pissed off with Biden. He clung on too long to the reins of power and actually, by doing so has adroitly handed Trump a winning card. He should have stepped back with dignity some time ago, not dragged it out purely to satisfy his own ego. It wasn’t a case of him putting the country first was it?
