Biden with impeccable timing to put gas on the fire that seemed to be fading.

Let's be fair. If we did an audit of that money, how much of it comes back to American politicians and their donors through USAID and corrupt NGO'S. Foreign aid is a money laundering operation for the DC political class.

storming the UNITED STATES CAPITAL is a whole lot different than storming a police station in portland.



Probably. But again, is it different than burning thousands of businesses to the ground, injuring thousands of cops and inflicting billions in damage?

Symbolically, maybe. In reality, no. It's a drop in the bucket.

They’ve already said they would.

Trump was never supposed to happen. He upset the uniparty. They will stop at Nothing to prevent that again

Oh, I totally understand why, and I am very sympathetic.

I just think trying to make a power play without some cooperation from at least a few movers and shakers is destined to become a footnote. Popular uprisings are generally not very successful without coordination from a faction of the elite.

You've got a media writing articles about how old people shouldn't be getting vaccines first because that part of the population is "very white".

They created this insanity and they're appalled that people have had enough of it.

Why? He is out here insulting them and challenging Trump, which everyone knows will cause Trump to do the exact opposite to what Joe is calling for. There is nothing Biden can say right now to help the situation. It’s merely self serving opportunism.

Foreign aid is definitely a massive scam. It’s a middle man to laundering for professionals that can get away with it in plain sight.

I'm with you. And the pendulum swing will probably only make things worse.

But I do think it's necessary for institutions and leftists to have a latent fear of the right, something they haven't had lately.

I mean, that sucks too, I wish we lived somewhere where we didn't have sides where fear of each other was needed to keep the peace, but alas, when a growing portion of the country loathes the country and wants it to be radically changed, I think it's our plight. And that is the part I put squarely on the shoulders of the leftist movements.

This says more about Trump than it does Biden.

I agree it doesn't help the situation, but it's important for him to say it as the President-elect.

Being noticed isn't a problem if they aren't able to be censored.

Agreed, but the guy is gonna be president in 2 weeks and the capitol has been broken into by a mob during his confirmation

He can’t exactly “no comment” that one

SPOILER: It's possible to think that both are despicable, because both are.

That's the problem with so many of you...if it's not Trump's deranged, crazy version it has to be the extreme left. It's ridiculous. Both sides suck arse.
