Perhaps you leftists should burn down a few more buildings, maybe that will help. Make sure the buildings belong to small business owners, as you usually do.

There is a very large bag of international and domestic policy issues that I could easily share here right now that would convince anybody with a reasonable mind to vote for Biden, but this emotional reason works just as well.

Do you want to look at this ****er's face every day for the next four years?

Also, what did you think of being trolled by his supporters relentlessly every day for the last 3.5 years? You want another four years of that?

I'll take a decade of this over Hillary having had the Executive Order pen in her claws for even a day.

As for the future, I will will vote for Howie. Anybody who votes for Biden is voting for 4 more years of Trump.

OMG (on 1-9) you're right! wow its ALMOST like we had a global pandemic started by a foreign country and had to close a lot of our economy for a long time, which in turn hurt business and everything else, while ignorant anarchist rioters started burning down their own cities in several places, and the leaders of those cities did nothing!

oh wait , THAT IS what happened.

for all that stupid ****, trump has done pretty good getting us through it.

FDR after Pearl Harbor: "Hey, it's not my fault; blame Japan! Also, the governor of Hawaii totally botched the response to the attack. Why wasn't that ****hole state ready?"

pretty sure we DID blame japan. we sure as hell didn't switch presidents.

leftists: "OMG lETS IMPEACH FDR for pearl harbor!!"

plus , of course, the responsibility for national defense IS CLEARLY on the federal government , as outlined in the constitution, as directly opposed to the LIMITATIONS to power the president has to stop internal strife.

Yes, we blamed Japan, and then FDR did nothing about it because, after all, it was Japan's fault. He then told America's governors they were on their own.

And that's how we won World War II.

Yeah but................under Trump they are worse. Change is needed. If Biden doesn't work out then another change in 2024. We need to look for better and not give bad more opportunities.

Oh sure, that is why we are 4% of the world's population but have 25% of the world's death. You call that "handling it well"?

I remember back then I could go out in public without worrying about catching the plague. that was fun. Someone should have created a pandemic response team and an organization that predicts pandemics.



















Oh wait

So accepting bad is your solution, right?

Didn't we elect Trump because he was a question mark and we knew what to expect from Hillary? So you are now saying that now we know that Trump is bad but this time we don't try something else?

Or worse, keep Trump that has so far stimulated more hate that in turn causes more building to burn down. Or even worse, lets keep Trump until we have more deaths from the virus than we can live with and then look for someone else. Hey, maybe that is a good idea as there will also be more Trump supporter deaths and less people with dumb ideas so we can start using our heads again (instead of thinking with out balls as Trump has shown us to do).

FDR did plenty of things about it, but then the MSM twisted all of that and never showed that he did and never admitted that the information from our enemies were false and misleading so our armed forces went one way one week and then wanted another plan the next week, bomb here , no don't bomb here, bomb there and the generals followed their own plans disregarding the presidents recommendations even after he put experts in front of them to GIVE them those recommendations, and wiped the newsreels of any experts that did not agree with their ideas.

and that's how we lost WWII

masks are bad, masks are irrelevant, masks are good, masks are good most of the time, masks are MANDATORY!

don;t stop going to parties, lets have chinese new year! don't CLOSE china's access that is racist! AAHHH CLOSE EVERYTHING FOREVER!!!

Yes, I know FDR did plenty. He shut the border against Japan while still allowing Japan to continue their flights into the country. Then he appeared on tv every day to blame red state governors for Japan's increased attacks on American soil. Then he blamed the media for not giving him enough credit for fighting the Japanese.

And then FDR, confronted by rising casualties as Japan continues its aerial assaults on American cities, said, "Look, can we all just agree that the hardest hit cities are in red states? I take zero responsibility."

i'm looking to four years of reich wingers complaining about the ballooning national debt
the steeply climbing progressive tax rates
the hollowing out of the military
Executive Orders drafted to circumvent the congress
Biden's appointment of Obama to the supreme court
the return of funding for abortions to planned parenthood
yea, it's going to be a fun four years reading the hypocrites' whines

It takes two to tango, bro. All those issues have a cause and an effect.

Yep that is what happens when Gov's shut down their economies.
People tend to lose their jobs.

However i see that you are using a cherry picking fallacy.
Why don't you tell us what things were doing before the virus hit?

Here once again you prove that you are not able to read information or data.

So before the virus hit.

- unemployment at an all time low
- more jobs than people available to work.
- actually there are more health insurance options for people.
- if anyone has blown the whole justice thing out of the water it has been democrats since day 1.
- Yep democrats are very anti-unity people for anyone that doesn't agree with them. Been like that from day 1.
- Yep leftist are very hateful been that way since day 1
- Yep Leftist Gov and mayors are just letting people shoot each other in the street burn and loot.
- My standard of living has been fine as long as some leftist nutjobs don't decide to burn down my property.
- Yep leftist have been 100% incompetent because they lost an election.
- Yep leftist have been exposed for all the lies they have told since day 1.


NOpe i don't want another 4 years of leftism.
It is complete destruction of all values this country was built on.
