American Politics

[EihTooms]

As those of us who like to get the facts right have reviewed the recent 28 minute video of Joe Biden engaging, interacting and conversing with Jay Leno in one of Leno's episodic car discussion programs where it is abundantly clear that Joe Biden to this day exhibits no sign of dementia, no sign of being "brain dead", no sign of not knowing who he is, where he is, what he's doing or any of the other revisionist history horseshit Wingers have been slinging around for years, there are a couple of Fun Facts about Biden's rank as the 14th Best President in USA History that few if any media pundits will ever mention:

Watch Joe Biden behaving normally, intelligently, well-informed, cognitively capable and more fit to serve as President of the United States of America this very day than Trump or any other Repub MAGA has ever behaved in their lives:

We know how voters feel about Trump and Biden. But how do the experts rank their presidencies?

(See screenshots below).

The Fun Facts? There is only one Repub president who ranks marginally higher than Joe Biden as judged by those USA historians who served as president within the past 100 years. Just one. And the voters who might have voted for that Repub president of the past 100 years who ranks marginally higher than Joe Biden on those historians' considered and well-researched rankings of The Best Presidents in USA History would today be well into their 90's and up.

He was right about the SOH being shut down not affecting things too much despite the rants of Dems.

Clearly someone or something dialed up the level of delusion to 11 with you, Elvis. I don't even know what to say to this.

Truly ridiculous level of mental contortions in your attempts to excuse your lord and master. On one hand you concede he's a sucker to go the war, on the other you claim it's no big deal, and then you claim he's smart to have exited from it. Exiting when you have been disgraced, embarrassed, humiliated and have no other option doesn't ameliorate the stupidity of the original decision. But then there's no reasoning with blind adherents like you. After all, you spin his TACO tariffs against China of 120%+ which he chickened out off almost immediately.

No, chickening out, causing havoc on the world and then shifting positions doesn't make you smart; it's a whole level of stupidity that only a zealous cult follower can fall for. The smart guy does'nt do stupid things in the first place. Why do you think multiple US presidents, including Biden who arguably was brain dead, didn't fall for the trap that Netanyahu set? Why did he make a chump ONLY out of trump despite trying to bring America into engaging war on Iran for decades? Because only Trump was stupid enough to fall for it; and now you're trying to fish for compliments- beyond pathetic dude.

And now the fool has picked a needless fight with Italy. America is alone, disliked, embarrassed and humiliated; every time the fool opens his mouth or does something, anything, he disgraces America. Yet cultish Chumps like you will try to find positivity where there is none whatsoever with this joker. Recite your learnings from "Trump: my glass is half full even when it's empty- Art of the deal part 2" in your next Maga meetings- I think it's pathetic.

LOL. You know that you have TDS when if anyone says anything even remotely positive about Trump, the TDS fools like yourself have at it. The dogma of dumb Dems like yourself is that Trump is scum, the absolute worst. He sucks as a businessman. The war was a complete failure. His supporters are stupid, and Kamala Harris would have been way better, oh and Biden, who could not walk or talk was way better too. Yeah, Biden was so fucking good he got yanked by the ballot.

Heaven forbid you pull your head out of your ass and realize that Kamala's whole campaign was basically, "I am not Trump" and got her ass kicked. Was that a wake up call for those of you with TDS? Hell no! Why admit to being stupid when you can claim you are so smart?

I give Trump a the- for his action with this war. He was right about the SOH being shut down not affecting things too much despite the rants of Dems. And the other thing is he knew he had a losing hand and folded. I admire a president who made a mistake and changes a course while you people with TDS make fun of him with the TACO moniker. Do you fools want this war to continue? That is why you people with TDS are so pathetic. You all have no vision..

I'll vote for anyone that will be willing to legalize prostitution here in the dis UnitedStates! Not just some small backwater counties in Nevada, I'm talking about the whole damn country. Let's legalize it like the way they did in Germany. Look at Germany and Austria now! Ever since they legalized prostitution, there's been no crime, the standards of living are incredibly high, basically no homelessness or unemployment. The cost of living is incredibly low in Germany and Austria, and with no speed limits on the autobahn, you can drive as fast as you need to the next FKK or laufhaus. It's heaven on earth. It's no Bangkok by any means, but it's as good as Europe is ever going to get. So why can't America legalize prostitution then you ask? It's cause we're just not allowed to have nice things here. FML.

I am not here to call Trump names. That's school ground stuff. The "deal" he made the other day with Iran was very bad and admitted nonsensical. When Obama released the 1. 7 billion dollars of Iran's money over 10 years ago the republicans were bleating for weeks if not months.

We have a president in office with no focus and much less in common sense. All of this stuff with a UFC fight at the White House, the ballroom and reflecting pool, then the 250 dollar bill fiasco. It's no wonder why we get results like we did this week.

I can't find one republican on Capital Hill or any other place who agrees with how Trump sold us out this week. It's getting kind of old listening to folks defending Trump's feelings or less than satisfactory job performance. Now we know why he had 6 bankruptcies. He's running America into the ground just like his businesses.

On every level; domestic and foreign policy, the economy, the DOJ, the current quagmire, counterproductive Repub War of Choice based on a Repub lie, new laws and regulations America had thought would not be needed because generally people of honor had occupied the White House and led the 2 Houses of Congress rather than America-hating criminals and hopeless pathological liars, the Titanic deficits, everything from top to bottom will have to be recovered by Dems and only Dems this time around. They'll just have to smile and nod at whatever typical lame brain numbskull input the hopefully utterly irrelevant Repub minority has to offer and then promptly ignore it and forge ahead to do the right thing instead as FDR, JFK / LBJ, Obama, Biden and, despite the deadbeat Know Nothing, Do Nothing Repub majority at the time, Bill Clinton continued to do in his 2nd term to pull us out of the horrific mess Repubs made of everyhing.

It's going to be a long hard slog. But it must be done. And only Dems know what to do, know how to do it and will do it.

Oh well.

We tried.

I am waiting for someone to come here explain why Trump surrendered to the Iranians. They get sanctions removed that were in place for years. They get to keep their missiles there are restrictions on enriching Uranium and 300 billion slush fund to "rebuild" from world community.

The Israelis are pissed. They are back to worse than square one. JD issued a threat to them earlier today. So much for Trump and Bibi coalition. Does this president ever learn?

But some here dare to write he is great. After spending billions to lose a new war, with US soldiers dead and still mollahs there, and now giving 300 billions to mollahs to reopen Ormuz which was fully open before Trump start this war, and what he tells about Meloni. It, You really have a deeply crazy. But for ignorants who don't know French or Italian foods and drinks, compare to how becoming obese at only 10 yo, he may be their best, but not sure for Americans majority who pay for his tax and inflation.

Let's be clear the White House, Air Force One do not belong to Donald Trump. The White House is a workplace he doesn't get to make into something tack like Mar A Lago. The plane from Qatar is bribe and wants the American taxpayer to foot the bill retrofitting it so it can be gifted to him when he leaves office. Who does that?

This shows how messed up the Dis United States of America is at the moment. You cannot buy a plane to use for Air Force One from the company that is in your own country. No matter how you try to pass the blame of spin the message, bottom line is the Dis United States of America cannot even build a plane for the President it's company.

Show why ultimately they are going lose the AI race to China. China has the power for AI. The Dis United States of America does not. Why I pay no attention to politics.

I vote with my money!

He chickened out of the Iran war for the same reason Nixon chickened out of Vietnam and Biden chickened out of Afghanistan. Because they were Wisemen! Biden was senile, but a Wiseman none the less!

The dems will never get their head out of their ass. Trump may say dumb things and even do dumb things sometimes but he is winning on the majority of the issues. America is winning even with the dumbest democrats in congress fighting him on everything that makes sense to Americans. Biden open borders created most of the problems with healthcare, education and crime and it is not a quick fix. Democrats protecting gang members, rapists, murderers from prosecution and deportation is disgraceful. These dumb democrats can't even tell you what a woman is. Mind you to be fair most of these idiots have converted to socialism or communism so not sure you can call them dumb democrats.

Why is China's easily winning, against the USA MAGA fossil fueled race to power AI? Well, it might have something to do with the "but, but, but...solar and wind won't power AI!" energy pundits.

While the MAGA "drill-baby-drill" fossil fuel zealots (Tiny 12 and Elvis 2008, befuddled as to why the USA Is world's biggest cumulative CO2/ GHG emitter in history), love to rave and rant about and say "...but, but, but, solar and wind are intermittent", they fail to gasp that intermittency works just fine for China, as it ramps up, old school power / LDES battery storage with 67 GW of pumped-hydro and another proposed 100 GW by 2030. https://www.energyconnects.com/news/...hydro-in-2026/

Yes, while lithium-ion, sodium-ion, rust and solid-state batteries grab most of the energy storage headlines, the old school, old-fashion pumped-hydro, often overlooked by fossil fuel pundits, is quietly killing the tired old intermittency argument. A China quietly declares "...what intermittency problem?" and strips all the "problems with renewables", one-by-one.

Pumped-hydro, once predominately used extensively by nuclear, as its battery storage for excess power, are being built, at a silent but unprecedented rate in China, as part of their 14th and 15th 5-year plans, bridging the so called solar and wind intermittency and LDES gaps.

P.S.: BTW, for the fossil fuel zealots, here's a reminder of U.S. cumulative emissions: Who's been polluting the longest? March 2026, https://education.cfr.org/learn/read...eenhouse-gases

But the mistakes were huge..

1. They haven't come here to explain because they're never wrong. They can't be. Not about Donald Taco. Impossible.

2. Unlike Taco, the Israelis are primarily concerned about the security of their country. This is the foundation, on which they build their relationship with any power in the world. Taco will find out that simple truth soon enough, regardless of any threats from any Dodo.

3. No. He doesn't. Learn. Ever.

[Sirioja]

Sentence I discovered on this morning: God invented wars to make USA learning geography. So true, for Vietnam, Afghanistan and now again defeat in Iran, when Trump wants now to spend 300 billions to help mollahs still there. Really crazy guy.

[Sirioja]

Why do you continue to lie about everything. You aren't fooling anybody just showing your true character. Why would anyone believe you about your life in France when you lie about everything else? Only a fool would believe one of your posts but I guess you think there are other fools here.

For lies, I m not at all on Trump level. Didn't you see how he was so happy to be invited in our Versailles. FR? Nothing like Versailles in USA.

I don't plan to come to live in USA, I m not like retired Americans who come to live in France for our free healthcare and I much prefer to live in so beautiful France with great way of life, much more culture and better foods, prettier women.

You make a excellent point right here my man.

IWorldcup in USA is a mistake for who likes this football, degrading this game,

You are absolutely right about that. The only reason citizens of the Dis United States of America are interested in the WorldCup is it gives them a reason to put on their red white and blue cheerleading outfits and pick up their pom poms.

As for the current administration, midterms are coming. Term ends in 2 years.

RESET!
