To be worried that Biden could be worse than Trump

Regarding foreign policy that is. I worry that Biden could be more hawk like than Trump and start or get involved in lots of wars? But I’m so pleased Trump is going, i couldn’t stand the man and I remember when he first got in I was petrified he’d start the next big war. But he didn’t and now I worry if Biden will be the one.

When people talk about to employment being up and high employment figures, do you actually realise how many hours worked a week is classed as employed for statistics??

In Australia it’s 1 hour a week as is the UK.
1 hour!
In the USA it’s any paid work at all and they actually include a group they call “unpaid family workers” (Ie: helping in the family business or farm but not getting paid) as employed.

So literally any employments stats quoted are complete bullshit and have nothing to do with anyone actually having a liveable wage and don’t show the chronic underemployed.

@ArtichokeAardvark “ That said, foreign policy was one way in which Trump actually was strong. Not for the right reasons though. He was such a loose cannon that when he threatened to demonstrate the power of the US, North Korea sat up and listened because there was a very real danger he might actually go through with it.”

This is total nonsense.

Oh silly OP, you've made the mistake of suggesting that Biden might be anything less than salvation personified...

I'm very glad I'm not an American. I wouldn't have known which way to vote, neither option was great.

That said, foreign policy was one way in which Trump actually was strong. Not for the right reasons though. He was such a loose cannon that when he threatened to demonstrate the power of the US, North Korea sat up and listened because there was a very real danger he might actually go through with it.

Yep they sat up and listened so well they're now moving full speed toward ICBMs and sub-launched nukes so they can't be pressured like this again. Well done!

Iran listened so well they are also likely developing nuclear weapons.

Blustering without any kind of strategy or diplomacy might seem effective in the moment but it tends to make things more dangerous overall.

Trump hasnt started a war since Ronald Regan, he has been attacked from all sides from the media. You are not being unreasonable but the vast majority are brainwashed into thinking that Biden is the saviour. The #metoo crowd would have lynched Trump if videos of him sniffing and stroking young children who are visibly upset. The thin gas Biden says as well a video where he says he likes young children on his lap. This isn’t going to end well.

Sockmonster23 · 11/11/2020 12:02

And for wars, we shall see about that. Biden doesn’t even what day of the week it is and now he has immense power.

Thank you! It is the hypocrisy right!

I give it six months and will be either a South American or Middle East country.

Just watched video of biden talking about the hairs on his legs and children sitting on his knee. Weird! Dont think its chilling or anything but bit odd. Haha we may have another nutter to contend with

Thisisworsethananticpated · 11/11/2020 14:21

Ddot
I’m very taken aback by the videos of
Him with women and most weirdly and disturbingly young girls
I’ve worked with handy men like him and I could really see the discomfort
Why has no one told a man of his stature to stop touching people ? Like he is in his 70s - no one ever took him aside and said ‘don’t touch women and girls ‘ - guess not

Totally weirded me out

Republican Philadelphia City Commissioner says they looked into a list claiming dead people voted. "Between everything else that we're doing, we looked it up — each one of them to see what their vote history was. Not a single one voted in Philadelphia after they died."

I see the situation in America under Biden turning out very similar to Britain under Blair. When Blair got in "things could only get better" (nope!) and we were in the middle of "Cool Britannia" (yeah, right). Look at how badly Blair turned out - it was his watch that saw "spin" become more important than truth. It was Blair who introduced tuition fees for students. And took Britain to war (twice). Whose bungling led the worst terrorist atrocity on British soil in history. Whose financial carelessness bankrupted Britain.

I'm not saying Biden will be quite as bad as Blair, of course - but then, Trump probably wasn't quite as bad, either.

You don’t think it’s chilling because the media hasn’t to you think that. They are pushing him as a saviour from all angles, if people take their media programming away from them, it’s quite obviously chilling and if a teacher or professional said that it would be red flags. It’s almost as if they do and say it and get away to see how far people are easily programmed to like it dislike someone subconsciously. If a man said that me I would take my daughter away and never let her see someone like that at all. Neither would he be stroking it sniffing her like that. I’m not fooled by his age or smiles for the cameras

It actually is chilling and completely inappropriate for a professional to act that way with children. Ever

nanbread · 11/11/2020 14:55

Even if all he does is reverse some of Trump's most damaging moves - stop fuelling hatred and racism, get back into climate accord, refund the WHO, stop the pro life movement from taking hold, stop cutting Covid funding for democrat states / cities...

That would be fucking brilliant.

LadyWithLapdog · 11/11/2020 14:56

Oh piss off with these baseless conspiracies.

LadyWithLapdog · 11/11/2020 14:56

Sorry, that was to Sockmonster who’s barely articulate.

So if someone has a different opinion to you they must be brainwashed by the media. Right.

I wish like Blair ( even thought I do not like Blair) As things are going with the Squad they will be lucky not end in re education camps.

Ddot · 11/11/2020 16:47

Didnt see him sniff a child must admit but just because someone likes children don't mean he is evil. Men should not be treated like monsters or with assumed criminal intent. I personally think it was strange but monsters are not going to shout it out. I'm sure their a lot more cunning that that. I know from experience their a lot more cunning than that, having worked with one and having one as a mate. I had absolutely no idea

monstermancs · 11/11/2020 16:47

Biden is creepy as fuck. The only reason why people like him is he is not Trump.

Ddot · 11/11/2020 16:51

Didnt like trump dont think I like Biden but if he does a good job dont care if he is creepy. Just do your job, dont start a war and keep your personal opinions and your creepy hands to yourself. That's all we want from any leader

Doesntmatter2u · 11/11/2020 17:06

Trump didn't start any wars. Biden would be a short term president, KH will be a president soon I think. I would be worried when she becomes the president.

Thisisworsethananticpated · 11/11/2020 17:24

but just because someone likes children don't mean he is evil

It’s not children it’s little girls
And watch the videos !
I know nothing about him and despise peadophile conspiracy
And maybe he isn’t one , it would have come out I reckon
But watch and wonder why no one has ever called him out
A male teacher would be fired for it

Did he get all handsy with Obama daughters I wonder ?
