If I can be sexist just the once I'm just glad she'll never get out of the shadow of her husband.

Biden's pick + Hillary's insistence on being a part of the next possible administration are a couple of reasons why I'm not a registered Democrat. Yeah, my beliefs mostly align with the party, but I can't bring myself to be part of a political party that is so tone deaf towards most of the people who vote for them.

I hereby retroactively grant you permission for this one remark. But know that you have been admonished.

There's always the Greens.

There's always gulag, you counter revolutionary cunts.

Trump Says He’s Ready To Send Out $1,200 Stimulus Checks, Again Blames Democrats For The Delay

Forbes

Those Democrat pieces of ****ing ****. Gimme my money Trump.

After an insanely frustrating day, I can confirm that they've removed at least three drop boxes near where I live.

Trump to Pardon Edward Snowden?

I'll give Trump serious props if he does this

better make sure that pardon official before he enters back in, smells like a trap....


I say they open early voting up in every state and take their time counting each ballot and keep this whole democracy thing going.... https://boxden.com/smilies/Qh2Vxfi.gif

Snowden doesn’t give a ****. He enjoys a much higher standard of living in Russia. He doesn’t want to return to this miserable ****hole. Russia has better people, a better government, and way better culture.

I think I'll be going now.

Nah, Russia ****ing sucks. Very similar to the US.

Not true. Snowden's lawyers have been trying to arrange for a pardon so he could return to the US for some time now.

What about Russia's culture do you think is so much better than the culture in the US? Are you in favor of Russia's 'gay propaganda law'?

What? Are you Chechen or some ****? Russia liberated Auschwitz!

Fake News

And the US liberated Dachau.

That was Beefheart

Credit where credit is due. But this wasn't the same Russia that exists today. And the USSR back then wouldn't have been nearly as successful, if successful at all, if it wasn't for the US and our lend-lease program.

First in Space.

Yes, let's have a rational discussion with the drooling madman.

‘The President Was Not Encouraging’: What Obama Really Thought About Biden

I think of it as a foam.

You're right. My bad.

:laughing:

you guys are ****in retards if you trust that.

If it will help his reelection, Trump will do it.

I suspect even Trump knows he can't get that through and would love if it didn't get through so he could point and cry about it. He's just scrambling for anything to get his name in the news that paints him in a non-COVID light and it doesn't matter what it is. I can't remember everything he does or Tweets but that's been the pattern for the last couple weeks at least. It's like he's having a political seizure.

Well, he facilitated a peace agreement between Israel and the UAE - probably specifically for re-election, but it fell mostly on deaf ears. I haven't heard anyone here talk about it. Then again, generally Americans don't give two ****s about foreign policy unless they're directly engaged in a war.

The Democrats are trying to get a more comprehensive bill where as Trump and the Republicans are looking for a symbolic and or short term gesture to make the American people feel like they're trying something. That's why they can't reach an agreement. You would think Trump would benefit from a comprehensive plan but there's still Republican ideology to contend with. They want to severely cut unemployment payments, among other things.

... Cause who the **** cares? We have real **** to worry about right now.

I mean good for them I guess but the Saudis and Israel have already been in decent enough terms due to their mutual enemy in Iran. Maybe I'm missing something... Was there any lack of peace between Israel and the UAE?

Like I said, most Americans don't give a hoot about foreign policy, but I don't view the agreement as insignificant. I am also not saying that we don't have more pressing issues at home that we should be paying attention to.

As far as I understand it, until this deal, the UAE didn't even formally recognize Israel as a state and they had no public diplomatic or economic relations. They wouldn't allow Israeli citizens or passport holders entry into the UAE. I believe a lot of it was due to the UAE's pro Palestine position. There was an assassination of a UAE official in 2010 that led the UAE to call for an arrest of the director of Mossad via Interpol - I don't know if their suspicions that Israel was involved were ever substantiated, but there was definitely motive for Israel to take him out considering that he was wanted by Israel for the murder of two Israeli soldiers.

I think the pandemic and US sanctions have weakened Iran considerably and that we will see a few changes in the Middle East as countries sense their weakness and become less fearful of pissing them off. Both the UAE and Israel oppose Iran strengthening their position and influence in the Middle East. An enemy of my enemy...

Yeah all of that sounds... great.
