As bad, utterly terrible and wrong, as Biden is on Gaza/Israel, if you think he is the same as Trump there too, you have not really been following along at all in any significant way, whether recently or over the past eight years.

Don’t you live in Lilliput or something? Maybe stick to commentary on local dog catcher elections? Kamala Harris locked up black and brown people for being poor. Sure she must have prosecuted some real bad guys, but it’s not like she did or risked anything to catch them.

What happens in the US significantly impacts everyone globally. Admonishing someone who lives outside of the US for having an opinion on the US elections makes no sense to me. And many of them know a lot more about the US elections than people actually in the US.

I'm being facetious about AF being from Lalaland, but he obviously doesn't know much about Kamala if he thinks all she did was lock up child rapists and murderers.

Oh he's not!? And you would base that on what Trump is "saying"!? Should we take Trump at face value on Ukraine as well?

You are a fellow EU citizen?

No, I'm not. What's your point?

I'd base that on what he did in office and things like Jared Kushner's Gaza beachfront property plans, and Trump currently using "Palestinian" as a slur for all kinds of people, and his escalation with Iran, lots of things.

Biden is abominable on Palestine, criminal on Gaza. And yet is a slightly moderating influence on Israeli foreign policy (see Iran response etc.). Anyone who thinks Trump would be better is massively delusional and just plain not paying attention.

And yes, you should take Trump at face value on Ukraine, of course you should.

Sry, I misread your stance as meaning that Trump would solve this war in a day, as he proclaimed for Ukraine too.

Bats, but this is such a black white type a way of looking at it. I would presume that both of us past our early 40s and we know how the world works. Most of the gals/guys u in politics are crooks or stupid people. I couldn't find a decent human being in our political system if I tried, you could say the same for your as well, barring some fringe exceptions.

The system will always spit out the most likely candidate to not hurt the system. And Teh Democrats have been doing that for the last 50 or so years, right? Was Jimmy Carter the last one?

I always liked Elizabeth Warren, but there is no way that she's electable!?

In other (surprising) news..

Yay France!

France have always been and will be a beacon on what is right in the world today. They are my favorite people, and they have every right to be cocky about themselves.

What the fuck man? I expect better than that from you.

Boggles my mind that many of the same people who think being a former prosecutor is a disqualifier... also want Trump to be prosecuted for his crimes? Which would also require... a prosecutor? That's how an adversarial justice system works. But like I say, if you're really dead set against the entire legal system, a criminal president would be your guy. The only times he's been in court was as a defendant.

The hard fact is that Harris is the only one who could take over at this point. She's the only other person who can legally access Biden's $90 million in campaign funds. Even me, living in a teapot in a woodcutter's cottage in a magical make-believe fairyland far away from the world of real people knows that much. And everybody can see that Biden's got a big fucking tear in his marble bag now.

The Justice department is out of control. That’s one thing BLM and MAGA agree on.
