I'm looking forward to the next 4 years of continuous threads, but I have a feeling they will dissapear soon, along with the worry about children in cages.

Navalny's supporters are EPIC
just epic

Mine are cuter.

@DuncinToffee

I doff my cap to you pointy
Your squirrel game in on point 👌

@pointythingsstill avoiding your misinformation on me about my dealth penalty stance?

You could engage with me by not making shit up? Maybe thats why some of my responses are what you call 'sneering'. You think you can behave like that and get awa with it, saying crap about me that isn't true, with no proof, no evidence

Then maybe in your own words I wouldn't go bahahah or lol or sneer.

Maybe if people in their first response to me don't make stuff up saying im a Trump supporter or any manner of others things I've been called. If you want a sensible conversation with someone you don't in the first communication insult them and make shit up.

U ok hun?
(Sympathetic head tilt)

Such a shame that when someone says "Will leave you to carry on bitching" on 14th January they are still hanging around and bitching on 23rd...

Thanks maggiethecat

cycling you made a load of shit up about me last week. You said I'd called you mentally ill (not true) that I wanted to cancel out black history (so untrue) and that you knew what I was going to write about and think for the next four years.
I refrained from answering your post by the way.
YOU started the insults, the sniping, the bahahahaha, the lols, 'you lot are pathetic' type posts.

So don't come on here and accuse others of what you have been doing the whole way through. You have the nerve to say 'you are telling me that's what you think I think'. You have been doing that continually. You have told us what we're going to be saying next week, next month, next year. Ironic.

You are unprepared to give an opinion on anything so we are unable to have a rational conversation with you. You don't put forward any views, I have no idea what you think at all apart from Biden is as bad as Trump which we don't agree with. This is a discussion forum. Try discussing.

cycling you keep saying that Biden is just as bad as Trump and saying he is responsible for everything that happens from minute 1 of his presidency. You do not acknowledge the damage Trump has done and you do not accept the time it will take to repair. You do not accept the reasons why Trump has been so scrutinised by the media, as posted by many people on this thread.

With all these things in mind, concluding that you are a Trump supporter is a logical position to take. It really is that simple.

You vilify Biden for his history on the death penalty, even though he has done the adult thing and changed his stance based on evidence and thought and listening to anti-death penalty activists in his party. Yet you say nothing about Republican states' use of the death penalty, which is an order of magnitude greater than that in Democrat states. You say nothing about Trump's position on the death penalty. Again, concluding that you are in favour of the death penalty is the logical position to take.

This is what you've given us to base our conclusions on. Don't like it? Change it.

Here, have a really cute squirrel on me.

Don't feed the squirrel. Just saying...

@Roussette I've been following the Russian protests too. Wow

God, this is exhausting.

If I agree he's as bad, will you go away?

@ListeningQuietly

Navalny's supporters are EPIC just epic

Navalny is epic. He didn't have to return to Russia now. He didnt have to run against Putin. He leads by example and offers himself as sacrificial lamb.

Like that guy who said he'd go with his supporters all the way to the Capitol. Oh, wait...

Jsut because I don't make a big statement saying TRump has done so much damage or it might take time doesnt mean I don't think that. End of the day Biden is now president and everything is does going forward is what he is accountable for. Every executive order he signs and decisions he makes today, tomorrow in next few years is on him as the leader.

I have made its clear that both are bad and I have repeatedly said I don't support either.

My view has been on bias and fairplay. Don't like it or think well because its less than Trump and a different order of maginitude fine thats your view. I rather see if as one death too many so order of magnitude to me isn't the point.

@Helocariad

Really enjoying this thread, apart from the trolling. I'm intrigued by Biden's knack of making shrewd appointments and surrounding himself with an excellent team. He'll need it!

TBF it’s quite funny because desperate.

Oh your still talking to me after saying you weren't going to. I asked you about your statement and would you say that to black peple - except you refused to answer it. Until now that is.

I never started the insults, after my first post on the previous thread, I was instantly called a trump supporter or that I was somone getting paid.

So if your going to start I'll just respond in the manner I've been spoken to.

I have put forward views on the bias in media, by the tech companies, by Biden but nevermind those, the don't count clearly.

@AskingQuestionsAllTheTime

Such a shame that when someone says "Will leave you to carry on bitching" on 14th January they are still hanging around and bitching on 23rd...

Oh wow you went that far back lol, good for you. Your right though I did leave for a while because the bitching was about Melania and I wasn't going to stick around whilst women bitched on another women for no other reason then she was married to someone they don't like. Thats the way the thread was going then.

TRump has done so much damage or it might take time doesnt mean I don't think that
Say it then! And we can have a proper discussion. We know there's going to be stuff wrong, decisions made, difficulties with the Biden administration. But you weren't around were you to discuss the Trump administration? All the wrongdoings there?
You just pop up as Biden is elected to poke at us, disagree, nitpick and snipe.
Most of us have been here 5 years, we can balance out what has happened before with what will now be happening. You say both are bad. What a shame you weren't here to compare Trump's 'bad' and now only want to discuss Biden's 'bad'. Makes it rather unfair don't you think?

cycling

Who do you like? Or who would you have liked for President?

How do you compare the team assembled by Trump and Biden?

I really don't care about Melania, do any of you?

Oh wow see what I mean seems like there has to be a criteria to fulfil to be on these threads. Maybe in those 5years I havent been on forums so much because life was normal and I was too busy to have time to be on forums. Now with covid reducing alot of those things I used to fill my time with I've been on quite a few.

So oops how dare I not have been engaged from 5years ago and not in those discussions. Nothing I can do about it now.
