Regardless of how fair you think criticisms of the trump admin are, the reality is even his own party is scared to publicly speak out against him

That’s no surprise given that most of them fill one or more category that makes them patently unfit to be in government and are sex offenders, treasonous Russian stooges, illiterates, deplorables and incredibly thick.

What an absolute horseshit double standard: so those on the left are being criticised for promoting kindness and human rights because they live in ‘an area zoned for single families’ but right wing Paedophiles and rapists are given a pass to pontificate on sexuality and moral matters?

You are a certified moron if you don’t get this in addition to a certified troll as you post this alongside your other junk.

Most expected Trump to upend things but he has taken his wrecking ball to everything,world wide,and clearly,as many thought,thinks he is above the law.
The world is a less safe place than it was Pre Jan 20th,as for the Palestinian states and Ukraine,they appear expendable.
Most people I know are sickened by all this,especially as his god$$$ seems the driving force.
Putin and Netanyahu can’t believe their luck.

I’d add China to that list. It could hardly be better from their perspective.

There needs to be a new term defined for the American voters. FAFO just isn’t enough.

How dumb must be the collective voter base when they vote for inflicting Trump upon the world as if the first term in itself wasn’t enough?

The saying that people ought not to preach to whom to vote for their country does carry some value. Especially as most people are liable to knuckle down and vote for a candidate just out of spite.

Well done America , your Democracy is fucked. Your country is fucked. You’ve just enabled despots and warcriminals like Putin and Netanyahu to get a second wind. You’ve dismantled and ruined relations with your most natural allies in Canada and the other NATO countries. If it was any other non consequential country , I wouldn’t bat an eyelid. But the shit thing out of this is that there are lives being destroyed by the so called responsible superpower swinging their dick around just because they can.

If anything good comes out of this , it’s countries realising that they can’t ever trust USA or China. And they proceed to chart independent futures for themselves. For one , I’d love to see the petro dollar being ditched. That doesn’t mean defaulting to Yuan as the currency of choice . Just ditch the petro dollar.That will immediately cut US down to size. Trump’s done enough damage to the US that the trust won’t ever come back even if there’s another election that the republicans won’t win. You just don’t get to press the reset button again after making a disaster of this scale and look to come out smelling of roses

And while at it , dismantle the fucking permanent members UNSC. An archaic group of self serving scum looking only to better themselves.

Probably have more contempt for the democrat political establishment than I have for the Republican establishment.

China doesn’t really need to do anything. They were suffering from a pretty severe crisis and the dumbfucks in US just enabled them out of it.

That is stupid. The repubs are traitors and should be charged with enabling and committing treason as appropriate and face the death penalty - per US law. The dems aren’t even in the same postcode.

The Dems being so incompetent enabled the republicans. Atleast with the Republican (mostly MAGA now) , you know what they are. You know they are scum.

The democrats need not be in the same zipcode but their lack of a spine makes them more contemptible. Them imploding as a party enabled the scum to rise. They’ve got as much if not more to answer for as well.

the fact is that no democratic politician (leaving probably Bernie)can be assertive enough to have definite policies (be it domestic or foreign).

Yeah, Nah.

That’s your prerogative. If they continue down this line of superdelegates etc. They are fucked beyond repair. I don’t believe they’ll change though.

Actually if the republicans continue to exist and behave as they have, the US is fucked beyond repair irrespective of any democratic actions. It is a right wing trope that when they are in opposition everything is the government’s responsibility but if they are in govt all the faults rest upon the opposition. Buying into this shameless abrogation makes one at least as at fault as the Dems.
