Media pretending Biden brokered deal to pull out of Afghanistan
The media are pretending that Joe Biden brokered a deal to leave Afghanistan. He didn't. He brokered a deal to delay the exit that Trump brokered. The media in no way based in reality and are complete political pawns.
Media pretending Biden brokered deal to pull out of Afghanistan
Hello t:
Nahhh, they aren't.
Fact is, there's NO deal.. There's NO brokering. There's NO pretending.. There's only Biden doing his job as Commander in Chief.. Fact is, he's the boss... He's gonna DO it, and there's NOBODY to stop him.
There is always half of the country taking a position. To say "only you believe" is a dishonest, childish response. That explains your politics. It takes a special kind of stupid to not see how dumb and bumbling Biden is. Even Obama saw it. Either Obama was an idiot, or you are. I say you.
It takes a special kind of stupid to not see how dumb and bumbling Biden is.
Hello chicken:
So??? He's dumb and bumbling... But, he's OUR bumbler.. Besides, YOU put him in there.. Fact is, Trump had a GOLDEN opportunity HANDED to him by way of the pandemic.. If he'd have handled it right, the WORLD including the LIBS, would have bowed down at the MAGA alter.
But, he DIDN'T handle it.. As it SPREAD through the country, the orange fuck kept saying it was gonna go away when EVERYBODY knew it wasn't.. YOU knew it too.
So, in the face of that massive failure, even Maxine Waters could have been elected.. Biden only won because he wasn't Trump.
As much as I disliked Trump as a person, if he'd handled the pandemic better I wouldn't have been so against him for a second term. Too much golfing? ok whatever. But his absolute shit show of action in trying to nip Covid in the bud, his constant down play of the virus, and his further lack of action when running for President again, shot him in his bone spurred foot. His main and only concern was saving his ass and it showed when people voted for Biden. Trump spent ALL his energy fighting the loss and none of it went to fighting FOR Americans and our health. He had the ability to be something great, instead he mocked, bitched, and whined his way to a pathetic end.
So yeah, I completely agree. Biden won because he wasn't Trump.
Nope. I want a politician who works for the people and spends less time trying to keep their seat, and a President who realizes the first job is to try to unite and fix our country. Someone with morals, honor, and integrity. Needle in a haystack, I know.
I doubt I could name 5 from either party, why limit me to just Dems? Jimmy Carter, Roosevelt (Franklin and Teddy), are some I can think of off the top of my head where the positives out weigh the negatives. As I said before, it's a needle in a haystack.
Frankly it has been insane to see the hysteria surrounding covid, and the extent to which people were willing to be tyrannised, and to tyrannise each other. None of the measures were necessary. And even if the situation had been worse, people could still have adopted them voluntarily as they saw fit to their comfortability with their personal risk. Trump made no such demands of states; each state was free to be as autistic about covid as they wished.
Now we'll have to live with the excess suicides and poverty due to the excesses of a number of control freaks.
About which part? The part where he claimed it was all under control, the part where he blamed the CDC, or the part where he suggested you can cure it by injecting disinfectant?
I just honestly find your delusional rubbish about Trump to be tiresome. I understand he is a hero to you white nationalist halfwits, but then again so is Hitler.
Frankly it has been insane to see the hysteria surrounding covid, and the extent to which people were willing to be tyrannised
No, the insane thing is your use of the word "tyrannised", to describe actions taken to reduce a world death count which is already over three million, even WITH the "tyranny". That's some lunatic reasoning right there. You yell about "tyranny" when the government is trying to save lives, but cheer and clap when it proposes building a giant wall across Mexico.
That's Americans for you. Programmed to be idiots.
I'm not American, nor a white nationalist, nor do I think Trump a hero, just a better politician than others I've seen.
actions taken to reduce a world death count
Like I said, that's not the government's choice to make. That's the individual's choice to make. Each and every person could have chosen whether or not they wanted to risk their own lives by going out. Just as they did every day before the pandemic, just as they have done for previous pandemics. If you want to protect yourself in every way possible from the virus, more power to you, but only within your means. The government should not be able to ban people from going out or seeing other people or destroy businesses. And as I said, the empirical result has been that this tyranny has had little to no impact as evidenced by the lack of differences between states, while having had a profound cost in excess deaths that aren't even related to covid, and a massive stall of the economy that has impoverished a lot of people all over the world.
I don't believe either claim because your language is that of an American white nationalist.
Like I said, that's not the government's choice to make.
Then that's another thing you are wrong about. A government has every right to protect its citizens from idiots like you and your conspiracy theories that Covid is a hoax. The last time there was a pandemic of this scale, a third of the population of Europe died.
I couldn't care less if you want to pretend I'm an American Nazi. I'm a classical liberal/libertarian Brit.
A government has every right to protect its citizens from idiots like you
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C. S. Lewis

Nobody is pretending. You are using speech which makes it very clear that you are on the extreme far right.

😂 So you're using American political terminology while you simultaneously pretend to be British? 🤦♂️ You are so stupid I don't even know how to begin explaining it to you.

Deliberately taking CS Lewis quotes out of context is not a good reason to let millions of people die. What is actually wrong with you? Did your mother drop you on the head as a baby? Where is this "tyranny" you speak of?
The mortality rate in the UK has been as high as it was in 2020 for every single year before 2003.
False. Just like everything else you ever claim.
The UK experienced unprecedented levels of excess mortality during the spring of 2020 and again in the autumn and winter of 2020 and 2021, reflecting the two waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK so far.
Also false. As the graph below shows, the Covid mortality rate (i.e. I presume you actually mean fatality rate) has risen as high as 15 percent in Italy, 12 percent in Sweden and Spain, and over the entire globe to 7 percent:-
You literally don't have the first idea what you are talking about. You are an extreme far right white nationalist retard with a big mouth and a political agenda.
The UK experienced unprecedented levels of excess mortality during the spring of 2020 and again in the autumn and winter of 2020 and 2021
That's manipulating the statistics. They've deliberately cut out the summer to make it seem worse, which is the only reason they're able to say that. But you probably already knew that, huh.
I don't trust ourworldindata because they don't match that of the gov.uk reports. They say 700,000 people died this year, whereas the gov.uk website says it was around 600,000. That's a pretty big discrepancy.
There is always half of the country taking a position.
Really Bronto? Half the country thinks the world is flat? I can easily believe it. America has a lot of stupid people in it, as you demonstrate every day.
Yep. All of the liberals doing acid think there are pink elephants that fly inside of a flat Earth. They think there are no genders. They think words are violence. Acid does that.
