    -Biden calls Putin ‘a killer’ and says will pay a price.


    -US President Joe Biden defended his administration's decision to not impose sanctions on Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, despite acknowledging that the royal was responsible for the murder of US-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

    -Biden: China's Xi Jinping doesn't have 'a democratic ... bone in his body'




    Biden is a stupid idiot who should shut the fuck up. The senile bastard won't make his 4 year term. Just another laughing joke.

    This is just the beginning. I think Biden will be a great target for American comedians. He's got great potentials. Can't walk or talk, ugly as shit, and dazed & confused.

    What do you know, if it isn't another crybaby trumpanzee who hasn't gotten over his loss and throws a hissy fit?

    The last guy was full of shit and every day bought some crazy new controversy from calling the leader of NK little rocket man to having Russian Intelligence chiefs alone with him in the oval office. What do you expect.
    These days it's back to business as usual.

    Yeah I can't believe he didn't rant nonsensically and start abusing people who asked him questions he didn't like.

    Maybe if you stopped lowering the bar and feeding into the whole victim narrative.

    Also Trumptards: 'Stop asking him difficult questions!'

    And meanwhile while Trumpist snowflakes are still crying...

    The Georgia GQP just signed another voter suppression law into force.

    The GQP want to make it easier to register a gun than register to vote.

    Changes to Georgia elections



    Absentee ballots will be verified based on driver’s license numbers or other documentation instead of voter signatures.

    Ballot drop boxes will only be allowed inside early voting locations and available strictly during business hours.

    Weekend voting will be expanded for general elections, with two mandatory Saturdays offered statewide. Counties could also choose to offer early voting on two optional Sundays.


    Early voting for runoffs will be reduced to a minimum of one week because runoffs will occur four weeks after general elections.


    The deadline to request an absentee ballot will be set 11 days before election day.



    Members of the public will be prohibited from distributing food or water to voters waiting in line.




    The State Election Board could remove county election boards and replace them with an interim elections manager.

    A hotline to report illegal election activities will be set up in the attorney general’s office.


    Counties will be required to certify election results within six days, instead of the 10 days currently allowed.

    Election workers will also be required to count ballots without stopping until they’re finished.

    Puts power over the elections into the hands of the state legislature, which in this case just happens to be controlled by the Republicans.

    Shortens runoffs in the state after two high-profile Republican losses.

    Is this not the very definition of voter suppression?
    An old woman standing in line for hours, waiting to vote, and her son can’t bring her food or water, while she waits.

    To quote my British friends, “Fuckin’ el!”

    Hate to disappoint you but I'm glad Trump is gone. I just insist that Sleepy Joe receives the same shitstorm that Trump did . Attacking Putin and Jinping shows that Sleepy Joe has no clue or plan on how to deal with these two world power leaders. What was he thinking? What was he hoping for? He is falling into the same Trump rhetoric! Big mouth no clue!
    Ohh and one last thing, Biden the Clown is benefiting big time from Trump's "Warp Speed Plan".

    Have you ever looked into Biden's face? His squinting little piggy eyes show that he won't last 4 years.

    At the end of the day, Politics has become nothing but boring on every level. They are all full of shit. Lets face it, the President is nothing but a mouth piece. He rambles on and on, promises change and in theend, does very little. Quite frankly, its a thankless job and why anyone would want to be President escapes me other than you get a nice pension after.

    Comparison
    Trump was a complete out of control, white supremist racist that lied every time he opened his mouth. His behavior instigated all those toothless gun tote'n rednecks from the Midwest to bring out their guns and assault people all for what?. Nothing but a herd of sheeple. He spewed bad information and the top media agencies became siloed and it was a "Us against Them". Trump did what he did because if you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit. Trump is a failure on every level. He was before he became President and is after.

    Biden on the other hand is "Typical Business as usual". Lots of herein, therefore, such as, etc. Lots of lip service, promises, little action, little follow through. Unfortunately for Biden, he is expected to try and fix all the toxic waste left behind by Trump and his band of cowards. This is a huge distraction and for people who love to follow news the switch has toggled from CNN bashing Trump, to Fox bashing Biden. Honestly, the media is a big part of the toxic angst along with all those other social platforms. Its all gotten out of hand and no one can real it in because everyone has become a bunch of pussy PC people.

    Banter away. In my opinion, the constitution needs to be revised to align itself with the current times. But that is not going to happen. So as they say, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results".

    That's why doing away with the fillibuster would probably make things worse.

    You'd be spending the first year of every majority administration reversing the policies of the previous opposite one.

    Except that demographics are changing in America. The GOP base is aged and dying off it is shrinking while the Democratic base is growing. It is not unlikely that we have seen the last GOP president. 8 years of Biden what is in store next and then most likely it will be Kamala after that. So doing away with the filibuster is key, and it is even more important now that the GOP is trying to push through over 260 different state bills to further suppress the vote. That Jim Crow bullshit must be stopped. It is a massive attack on our democracy.

    ^ do you think a one party system is healthy for democracy? Granted the GOP at present are a mess pandering to the gormless, but you need oposition to ensure accountability. Power corupts and all that, although TBF America is way past that.

    No I don't, but the other side has pushed the pendulum too far to the right. Its agenda is completely toxic and destructive to the health of the nation. That party needs to fix itself before it can influence the direction of the nation again.

    Look I would love it if we had a parliamentary system here, but we don't, and we never will, so this is it.

    ^ I hope for Americas sake they sort out a way to resolve the polarity in politics.

    In the UK its ridden with soundbites and shorttemism. i'd like to see PR but i fear it would just result in a stalemate or slow decision making. We need to clear out or consign the Lords to history, as they have now just become ever more bloated as each party seeks to load their own peers to gain advantage - the whole thing is now farcical or would be if we didn't have to pay for their wages and lobbying.

    All good! But if America can only come up with a Hillary-Trump-Biden then please don't blame us or the media.
    Maybe they can do like a some sort of exchange student thing. Putin goes to the U.S., Biden to China, and Ping to Russia. What have we got to loose?
