    i was going to mention that. Trump has a long history of tweeting and saying all sorts of bile. For example, trump promoted a tweet to his millions of followers that was threatening civil war. But his followers defend it when trump does it “oh Dear Leader just tells it like it is and isn’t pc, that’s why we love him”.

    put me down as it does matter what either communicate. Biden will be 81 and trump will be 78 next election cycle and both should step out of the race and let’s get some new faces.

    Did you miss my reference ? Much to the contrary, it is Biden, via Blinken, who is striking a more moderate tone. And this has inflamed Republicans who want to go to war with China.

    I generally agree here. Even Trump in his bafoonery would attack the state but flatter the dictator.

    Bellicose Americans can’t even talk to other heads of state for fear they are flattering them. This is not the sort of pragmatism that accepts, as a starting point, the world as it is. Rather, it is blind ideology. This is why Ukraine is being destroyed, the Doomsday Clock is closer to midnight than ever before and why we’re possibly on the verge of WWIII.

    Of course Trump said good things about Xi, Trump aspires to be...wait for it...a dictator. He loves that whole concept. Just name yourself Forever King, kill and imprison anyone anytime for the even the pettiest of grievances, and live by an entirely different set of rules than the masses. His besties are all that exact model. One of the few things you can believe from him is when he slobbers all over himself at the mere mention of Putin, Xi, Lil Kim, etc.

    PRESS RELEASE: Doomsday Clock set at 90 seconds to midnight

    Yeah, def Biden calling a dictator a dictator. OR, or, all of those other things they actually cited, which are mostly running counter to RW world.

    Trump was a ruthless dictator who had an iron grip on democracy. So they banned him from Twitter and voted him out of office and are attempting to throw him in jail. Which begs the question, why didn’t they just do that with Hitler ?

    The "let's turn this into a thread about Trump" playbook anytime someone posts of critique of a Democrat, namely Biden, is so weak. It doesn't matter what Trump did. It doesn't make what Biden's doing okay. Two wrongs don't make a right. The reflexive "but Trump" BS is so predictable. I can always gauge how many points I score against Biden based on the "but Trump" replies. Trump is not president. We are facing a possible war over Taiwan. Stop trying to whitewash every stupid thing Biden does with "but Trump." Two wrongs don't make a right.

    He committed suicide before he could be put on trial.

    That's really all you can do, because alienating a narcissistic dictator usually doesn't end well.

    Yeah, that's what he said. Perhaps it was partly in jest, but an interesting thing to joke about in Florida of all places given how people feel about the regimes in Cuba and Venezuela.

    Trump thinks having a president for life would be great

    Remember how Americans reacted when the Soviets put missiles in Cuba ?

    Dammit Biden! Youre supposed to send love letters to our enemies and shower them with compliments. That is the GOP way. Thanks for the thread oXichobee.

    it’s not so much specifically trump, as it is the hypocrisy of his followers for criticizing Biden for comments but praising trump for his. And I get if we engage in whataboutism, nothing can be discussed. But this issue specifically is mentioned because praising trump comments and tweets was/is a big deal and almost a cornerstone for his followers. It’s just surprising Biden is now called out with such fervor for his inappropriate communications.

    It is 100% specifically Trump, as I see you do it with every thread. Even ones that don't remotely involve Trump in any way. It doesn't matter what Trump did or what his supporters supposedly said. He is no longer president. This thread is about China and Joe Biden. I don't care about Trump's mean tweets. I'm concerned with Joe Biden alienating our adversaries to the point where negotiation and diplomacy are no longer options and all we have is war. What part of that is so hard to understand? And you do it with every thread and I know exactly why you do it. You want to avoid acknowledging your dear leader may have done something wrong. The guy is an idiot, an empty suit and has been eviscerated in the past for being a condescending, lying douchebag.

    Biden is a big P#$$y. Everyone knows it, but only his detractors will say it, so it can be described as political bickering. His foreign adversaries know it as well or better than the general public. Many of them won’t even take his calls more. So as Okee very eloquently stated, when Biden goes public with personal attacks against foreign leaders that already have no respect for him, they are going to return the favor and abuse him. Not in words, like Biden does, but in actions. So you all go ahead and enjoy “Tough Talking Joe”. Just know that the foreign leaders he is attacking are laughing at him, and are now more emboldened than before to pursue their mischief.

    I think the only reason Biden is running is because of Trump.

    According to some righty conspiracy theorists, the Holocaust never even happened. You should be asking them this question.

    He’s all of this, yet still kicked Trumps ass. Oops, another Trump reference.
