"When it comes to communist China...crickets."

You are going to feel like a fool very soon. Biden is a good and decent man, he will object to the human rights abuses in China.

Moscow Mitch will make sure he is convicted. Otherwise Donald Trump is the leader of the Republican Party.

"You don't support an end to the White Male Patriarchy? You don't support the rights of native peoples? You don't support an end to the evils and inequalities of capitalism?"

I don't support you, that much I know. The protesters in Portland need to obey the law but that doesn't mean I don't agree with their ideas, just not their tactics. I was young too a long time ago and I admit that I could get over enthusiastic about causes that I believed in. It concerns me but not like the insurrection at the Capital did. Not even close to the same thing. The first is a bunch of misguided young people who want to bring justice to America, the other was a planned, insurrection that was intended to let Donald Trump commit a coup in our nation. Not even close to the same things.

"I hope it doesn't end in bloodshed."

Me too but, at the same time, I hope the protest grow and continue until Putin has to resign. He is a murdering thug and his people know it. That Trump conducted conversations with him or with Saudi Prince Murderer say far too much about who we had as our President. OMG! We are lucky we rid ourselves of that piece of garbage when we did. I never want to see or hear from any Trump again. They are all filth. America needs to collectively flush them out of our memories. Then we need to disinfect that toilet.

And you supported him the entire time Phester. I doubt you even know what was wrong with that.

Pete needs to resign. Everyone that encouraged or enabled the insurrection need to resign from office or be removed from office, they are criminals.

"says he feels "duped" by Trump after the former president didn't pardon him"

But like most of the rest of the insurrectionists, if they were to get pardons, then it would be ok to invade and descrate the Capital of the United States. I am honestly loving it that they aren't getting pardons. Enjoy prison a*****e!

Anyone who buys a MyPillow after that piece of filth tried to convince Trump to declare Marshall Law and steal the election should permanently give up the right to vote in free and fair elections.

His firing of the staff just shows us that he is incapable of even considering them to be people. He sees them a tools that he can use as he wishes. He does not think of them as human beings just like him and his family.

Navalny is a very brave and patriotic person but I think he is up against more than anyone is capable of opposing. I was concerned when he said he was going to return to Russia after recovering from the poison Putin ordered, I'm not that brave. I hope for the best but once your country has tried to murder you and then you return I think you are unlikely to be heard from again.
Very sad to say that.
I do hope Putin gets COVID19 and dies. Tyrants like that do their nations a favor by dying.
Thank God, our own Putin fan is no longer President. I have a feeling that we are going to be learning many things about their relationship soon.
If I were Trump, I think I would be headed to a nation with no extradition treaty with the U.S.

"Loan me $50.00"

Now, in retrospect, I think I misinterpreted your post and will ask RCADE to delete my post. I do apologize MODER8, having a very bad day. Sorry.

"I think it is symbolically important to have a black person be the Sec of Defense, assuming of course they are otherwise fully qualified."

I think I would ask RCADE to delete that post. IMHO. The man's race should not be, in any way, a consideration about his appointment.

Phester is just like the Republicans were in 2008. They wouldn't take any responsibility for the Great Recession and they wouldn't give Obama any credit for leading us out of it. But, with their gratitude or not, he did and so will Joe Biden lead us out of the Trump pandemic that he purposely ignored because he is an egotistical maniac that thought "herd immunity" would safe us. Thank God that lunatic is not leading our nation any longer.

All of this should be investigated and reported in the impeachment trial. We need to convict that POS Trump. We need to humiliate him, bankrupt him, press charges if he committed tax fraud, which everyone knows he did. Over 400,000 people are dead now because that piece of filth would not do his job, no mercy should be shown for him now!
Make him pay for his crimes, all of his crimes.

At least Trump is gone, we should be thankful for the important things.

And also, if Amazon wants to help why would anyone object to that? I would welcome any and all assistance they could provide. And realize, under Trump's leadership style, Amazon's help would be rejected because Donald Trump hates Jeff Bezos. As in all things, Trump's feelings towards other people take more importance than the possibility of vaccinating millions more people.

Thank God the Trump Presidency is over, thank God we survived it, and I mourn the 400,000 who didn't survive it. I do not wish him or his family ill will, but I hope we never have to deal with them as leaders of our nation again. I understand that Ivanka is planning to run for the Senate against Marco Rubio, I hate to say it but I will be rooting for Rubio. That plastic woman should never be a Senator.

We live in a country with millions of unemployed people. So, why couldn't we create a training class to enable many of those people to become vaccinators? It could be a win/win transaction, they would qualify for a decent paying job and the rest of us would be more able to get vaccinated. Why am I even asking this question when it should have been thought out and enacted months ago? Because the Trump administration actually did not care about the pandemic or the American people. He was so self-absorbed that everything that wasn't about him was ignored. Now, we have survived his Presidency and we have moved on with Biden who, I am quite confident will, actually make an honest effort to fight this virus. Donald Trump is going to be shown to be so much worse of a President than we even suspected now that we have a real President.

"You can't have it both ways."

Absolute nonsense, Lincoln spoke in the way people spoke back then. We have since decided that certain words denigrate an entire race and society, not just Democrats, have decide that is is exptremely crass and disrespectful to use such words.

"Since a number of them backed sedition Danni I think you've already got your answer."

All of them won't be needed to convict Trump so the one's who did not support sedition should do as McConnell told them to, he told them to vote their conscience. I think they should think back to the day of the insurrection and remember they were hunting down Pence and Pelosi to kill them! If they can overlook that they are not Americans IMHO.

Republicans need to ask themselves if they are Americans first or Republicans first. The crimes that Trump is going to be tried for aren't little faux pas they amount to an attempted coup by the President of the United States who just wanted to ignore the will of the people and retain the job of President completely illegally.

"Ok, we get it, you won. You better not start trying to "punish" people. Your time is coming. You wont be in power forever.

Yeah cuz Boaz would be fine if Democrats attempted a coup.

"Howbout you tell us more about how both parties are the problem. And hope no one notices that one party CREATED the consumer bureau and the other one tries to DESTROY it."

Sorry, but I thought that post needs to be repeated over and over and over.

"I finished reading the 1776 Commission Report. It claims America is "the most just and glorious country in all of human history"--the nation's great founding truth. But anti-Americans are disregarding this great patriotic truth, the report argues."

Such garbage, the authors of the report should hide and never show their faces again. We waited for Abraham Lincoln to abolish slavery with the Emancipation Proclamation but Great Britain did it 30 years sooner and didn't do it to punish those rebelling against their country.

Traitors need to be rooted out of government and charged with any crimes they participated in. To do otherwise undermines our whole system of government.
