exactly! the crusades and us. so when people in this country like to talk down about countries whose religious zealots want sharia law, they really need not look beyond their own current leader.

Exactly! This is something our Founders worried about and warned us to keep religion out, way out, of politics.
But, what did they know?
I still can't figure out what the Christians see in this con man. Oh, that's right, their God works in mysterious ways.
Yep! This is one Hell of a mystery for sure.

I'm soooo disgusted and upset that Anthony Fauci is getting threats against himself, wife, and daughters.
Trump is always lying. Saying we are doing the most testing, the best testing. Totally untrue! But his followers seem to believe every word he utters. Did our education system fail this badly that there is such a lack of critical thinking in the U.S. population?

yes it did! that is what is most alarming about all of this. i naively had no idea how bad the public education system was until this. clearly it has failed us. luckily not all of us, but enough of us that the covid is making its way through and people are dumb enough to believe trump and his lying. fauci is so over the top knowledgeable about this and yet we have people willing to discredit him because their master told them to. their master who can point out which one of these pictures is an elephant on a test. which they love because they can relate. they're all the same level of stupid.

I believe it's because many Americans are not interested in politics. They just don't care. They say both parties are the same so why bother voting?
They care more about The Super Bowl or The World Series than who is running or ruining the country.
Politics is just not that interesting until it begins to effect your life personally. By then it's too late.
The fact that a reality tv ego maniac is sitting in the Oval Office instead of a brilliant politician is all the proof I need to know that Americans did not think this through. I am also convinced they will behave the same way the next time.
Hillary is a brilliant woman who served as a Senator in my state. There are many things that work in her favor. The most important is she's not don trump.
Our foolish loss.

birdgal, I always figured that if Hillary had won the Republicans would have started her impeachment process the day after the election.

The fact that a reality tv ego maniac is sitting in the Oval Office instead of a brilliant politician is all the proof I need to know that Americans did not think this through I have a friend, someone I really do like, who was so anti-Hillary (and let's face it, she was no angel; she was so clearly not my first choice from the possible group of people interested in running on the Democratic ticket) that she voted for the current resident in the White House. She doesn't support him and never did. However, she's not sure about Biden; sometimes when he speaks, it doesn't sound totally together (I don't remember what word she used) so she may vote for the current resident in the WH again. I'm not sure how to talk her out of it... I suppose I can appeal to her sense of humanity or intelligence or (anyone wanna chime in here?) about just how terrible hiss actions have been, from removing experts at the top of their fields to replace them with his hand-picked idiots, err, I mean, choices, thereby diminishing the importance (and perhaps power) of those fields (like education and the EPA), separating children from their parents (and putting children in cages), etc., and that a candidate's policies for the country should count more than the person him/herself...

Is your friend not sure about Biden because of what he says, or the way he speaks? I hadn't heard this about him until lately, but Biden is a stutterer. Sometimes when it seems he's searching for words it is because of this. You might want to suggest your friend read this article.

My mom is getting feisty lately! In a fabulous way! I just happened upon one of her comments on a Facebook page that was discussing a few sports players who are refusing to kneel in honor of BLM. She told someone who is chiding the kneeling to calm down because the kneeling is happening before the National anthem not during (if that is their beef) and that the woman complaining sounds like a privileged little WASP who needs some life perspective.
Go mom!

Good for your Mom, Fin!!
Holly Gail, are you saying you did not vote for Hillary because she is no Angel?
Who is? Trump?
I still haven't got an answer to my question as to why Hillary is hated so much. I didn't know one had to be an angel to be president. I don't see an angel in the Oval Office at this moment. Do you?
I believe it's pure and simple sexism. Can you give me a solid reason for so much hatred? Besides that she's no angel.
I'd really like to know.
Your friend who seems to have some concerns about Biden is one of the reasons trump is president.
Democrats need to have a perfect candidate. If they can't find one, because nobody is perfect, they will cast a vote for the Republican. Extremely foolish and dangerous.
Biden is not a young man. He has to stop and think, gather his thoughts. At least he has thoughts. He was a VP for cripes sake. A lifelong politician. Trump is sitting there, destroying the country because the politician opposing him was not perfect! If we do that again we deserve 4 more years of this madman and perhaps the end of democracy.
Republicans are not that picky. They are loyal to their party. That's why they win while we're moaning and groaning about our imperfect candidate who was a First Lady and a Senator in my state!
Not a richy rich, sexist, deplorable human being.
This isn't a popularity contest! This is the future of America.
Could we really be that stupid to give this lying madman 4 more years?
He doesn't care about you! He only cares anout himself.
We can not be that stupid again. We can't. Please think this through.

I think it’s her friend that voted for the goon and will vote for him again because they don’t like Biden. Biden will now be forced to be more progressive. He’s also the obvious choice. Trump is not a choice. We thought it was bad these 4 years just imagine how bad it will get when he literally has no more election to lose. Our country will be destroyed.

I forwarded the link for the article to her (after I read it). If I hear from her within a day or two, I'll let you know her response.Holly Gail, are you saying you did not vote for Hillary because she is no Angel? birdgal , I didn't support but you bet your @ss I voted for her! There was no other choice! Not to vote for her would have amounted to a vote for the other one and there's no way in h&ll I was gonna go that way!

birdgal, at least Biden gathers his thought instead of just spewing whatever bull$hit comes to mind.
