President Biden, the best president in my 66 years, is still doing whatever he can to promote democracy, despite the chaos and cruelty we all know is to come. I cannot thank him enough.

I voted for Joe Biden (and Kamala Harris), but Biden's hemming and hawing about a second term (enter Trump 47) will result in horrific changes (and attempted changes, which could be worse) here and abroad. It's unfortunate that President Obama didn't favor Joe Biden as president when he favored Secretary Clinton instead. (I voted for President Obama twice. Secretary Clinton, too.) We could have had a younger, more assertive Joe Biden in The White House earlier and no Trump 45 (or 47.)
Ah Greg, coulda woulda shoulda! Biden was tarred and feathered for nearly 4 years by msm which needs тАШhatred and fear mongeringтАЩ to sell online clicks!
JoeтАЩs policies created millions of skilled jobs; lifted millions out of poverty; brought inflation below 3% AND REUNIFIED our European nation partners in the fight against Putin the war criminal!
Janan. Ahh. But you are correct. None of this chaos would be happening if Hillary had won. And she should have. That one presidential election in November 2016 has been, and will be, resonating for years to come.
Hillary had been a target of republicans for over 10 years and should not of been annointed. Bernie Sanders should been up against Trump who was trying to play like Bernie. Bernie would of beat Trump.
MSM is much more analytics-driven today than an outcome of vitriol spewed (Fox, et al.) or countered (MSNBC, et al.) The vitriol is for show IMHO. My experiences in major cities these past 4 years do not reflect people (or neighborhoods) lifted out of poverty. I wish this was not my experience. Kudos for kicking NATO up a level, but we allowed Ukraine to take MUCH more pain and suffering than was preventable. Those who ignore history ... No chance of repeating The Biden Years on the horizon. Trump and his cabal are setting up for decades of their punitive measures (mostly towards people who will never post on Substack.) This has been several decades in the planning and seeding stage and now come to fruition.
IтАЩd love to know where you people are getting your information. The science fiction almanac?
YouтАЩre looking at a different inflation number than people even understand. People understand how much a dozen eggs cost. They understand how much gas cost and they understand when they have to pay 7% for their mortgages instead of 3% for their mortgages. Inflation was 1.9% when Trump left office and Biden managed to get that all the way down to only 9% ( sarcasm in case you missed it) at one point during his presidency. Lolol
You whine about inflation and seem to imply BidenтАЩs policies are to blame. If Biden is to тАЬblameтАЭ, America should thank him, because many more countries have much greater inflation rates than we do than have lower inflation rates.
Greg Tutunjian -- I echo Louis Giglio's comment! "Coulda woulda shoulda" never has a place in serious discussion. For instance: "The many millions of American adults never shoulda supported Adolph Hitler in the 1930s when they easily coulda seen through his intentions before 6 million Jews were slaughtered."
Obama didn't favor Clinton over Biden. Beau Biden had just died of brain cancer, and Biden didn't want to run. Four years later, Biden was favored (by the DNC) over a large assortment of contenders which included Harris.
Yes. The reading IтАЩve done revealed President Obama ignored (the word used to describe how The Bidens felt) Joe BidenтАЩs many-years interest in the presidency. I believe both conditions are true but thereтАЩs no denying your point.
I donтАЩt understand this comment. Joe was a good president, but his time had passed when he stepped down. Everyone knew that ha didnтАЩt stand a chance in the upcoming election.
The "handlers" who let him go out on stage for that debate, in that condition, should find a new profession (that requires no common sense). Yes, after that he didn't stand a chance.
Right now, Biden doesnтАЩt understand whether heтАЩs standing or sitting. For those that want to better understand him there are Biden speech decoder rings available
WRONG. President Biden's downfall was trying to take on the fire-hose of schei├Яe in the manner of a debater. MISCALCULATION. He should simply have taken Trump's lies and turned them into jokes to laugh him off of the stage in a "Friday night schei├Яe-fry".
Yeah, that wouldтАЩve worked? Yikes. Maybe Trump should take Bidens lives and do the same? Why do you only thing from one side of your head? Joe Biden just lied to the public again and again he lied about the border being secure he lied about bionomics was working lied about Kline was down he lied about inflation was transitory and he lied about Hunter. He lied that he wasnтАЩt going to pardon him, and then he did
And when he did, he slipped up big time he pardoned him back to 2014, which was the day and time that Hunter first started working for Burisma and started slush finding the money to the Biden family. The problem with that was he lied again when he kept saying, I donтАЩt know anything about my sonтАЩs dealings. I donтАЩt know anything about his business. IтАЩve never spoken to him about his business and yeah, he happened to pardon him from the day he took a тАЬjobтАЭ at Burisma , and the world knows it. Oooops.
Are you braindead when it comes to trumps lies. 30000 +in four years. And now heтАЩs saying grocery prices wonтАЩt come downтАж.. when he campaigned about how they would come down the instant he becomes president. Now weтАЩll not so sure. Trump canтАЩt speakтАж. And he canтАЩt speak without lying.
CanтАЩt wait till you get your butt handed to you by your dear leader.
It's most likely a bot, and if not, is at least trying to disrupt this community. HCR's LFAA is very popular and it is quite likely this is the intention.
Wow 30,000. ThatтАЩs a lot of lies. Biden and his administration only have 29,800. lol. And his latest act trumps everything heтАЩs done for four years, which is essentially nothing except allow prices to get out of control for the average citizen and open a border and have innocent women raped half 1 million children missing and illegal, immigrant gangs and infiltrating America with drugs

I got another yearтАж a beautiful life with more hope than ever now that Trump is back in the White House. Does that answer your question?
I pretty much have everything I want or need. The only thing I do now with my beautiful wife is Travel. IтАЩve been around the world, and in all 50 states and there was much yet to see.
and let me stay once again, so that everybody hears because a number of people, in fact, very famous people of said exactly what IтАЩm about to say in the wrong words
You donтАЩt have to like your president. One famous individual said exactly what I agree with. I donтАЩt like my president, but I like every one of the policies heтАЩs instituted that lifts the life of all Americans, including first and foremost minorities and the middle class.
Ned, and that's too bad. I came here this am after reading Heather's letter hoping to find excellent commentary on our African policy and where Russia is now that Assad has fallen. But no, I find a pot stirrer troll.
I donтАЩt need to hear myself speak IтАЩm just hoping others do because this particular sub stack is a one-sided affair. And I imagine a lot of people that are here have exited to go to blue sky, as former ex affiliates who I now refer to as cowards because they want to deny reality, they only want to hear people that agree with them. Very sad
That will never come in your lifetime Nor mine. And speaking of mirrors, thatтАЩs what most liberals have to do is start looking at mirrors grow a conscience and realize what just happened and why it happened.

So now youтАЩre questioning my intelligence. ? Wow. What you should be questioning are the posts that I make versus the evidence that exists the backs up my evidence. I see a lot of people on this site, only looking at one side of the ledger. This site reminds me of people that go to court and only wanna hear the prosecution story send it directly to the jury without hearing the other side, and find out that the defendant was in the hospital at the time of whatever crime he supposedly committed
But donтАЩt worry youтАЩll come around after the country begins to recover from the disaster of Joe Biden, and his administration. Not Pedro Biden was ever in control of this administration. Add despite your protestations to the contrary if not for Covid, Donald Trump would be leaving office right now not just going back in
Many on here are on their umpteenth booster, the vaccines are likely causing clotting in their brains and their continued mask wearing is affecting their oxygen levels. They can not be trusted to formulate rational thoughts at this point. Remember these people are driving on our roads in addition to voting. Beware!
You elected a Russian asset to lead our country when trumpster dumpster takes the office of president. He fucked up everything he touched last time. It will be worse this time. We are doomed.
I guess you didnтАЩt see one of my post earlier that unfortunately for people that already have TDS they are now growing a like organism in their head. ItтАЩs called TRDS. Trump Russia derangement syndrome
Want to keep living, ethics, conspiracy, and believing in this nonsense youтАЩre on your own. Those of us that love America, we look at proof of success and America first. Not Ukraine first not Africa first. And certainly not Burisma first
Unfortunately, Susan, no one can predict the future and your pessimism is unnecessary. World is waking up to a new presidency and the sun is shining. Please join us in the sunshine get out of the rain.
I can buy to be so great when thereтАЩs still people in North Carolina that are living in tents and 150 volunteers brought their own mobile homes so that people could have someplace to live and stay warm and survive. IтАЩm homeless by the hundreds of thousands we have poverty everywhere we have veterans who gave their life for this country in And weтАЩre worried about whatтАЩs gonna happen in Africa in 25 years
Ask yourself, what impact Africa is that on this country in the past 25 years
Well, hereтАЩs something that probably none of you on this paper, trail or substack Trail have ever dared to do Google this : Trump administration, accomplishments. Do you wanna be fair minded? Do that!
Because of what Trump has gone through in his ascension back to the presidency, he is going to be named one of the 4 or 5 best presidents in American history 25 years from now or more. Change your channel and see what else is out there Get out of your bubble go visit flyover country where neighbors help each other and care for each other like the volunteers that brought 150 mobile homes to North Carolina so that people would have a place to stay warm waiting for Fmm FEMA to do anything.
And ask yourself why Biden is now on The sidelines
What garbage! FEMA is still on the ground and hard at work for those in my hometown. If there is anyone still in a tent it is by their own choice. Trailers are in place with more coming. https://x.com/AvlWatchdog/status/1866141408110813432
It's most likely a bot, and if not, is at least trying to disrupt this community. HCR's LFAA is very popular and it is quite likely this is the intention
Have you seen the video of the hundred or so local volunteers who towed a trailer to the victims offering them a place to stay? If you haven't seen that, I would say you haven't done enough searching.
I don't care what this video shows. I'm telling you that just yesterday there was a number of couples that were still living intense and they were on air representing the other hundred and so people that were still living intense and it showed a caravan a privately owned trucks pulling Campers to provide these people with shelter I was also in Hawaii not too long after the fires then you should've heard that complaints about FEMA then not only did it take him a month almost to respond, but they would not let Outer Islands bring food in by boat to feed people that were hungry.
And many people who lost their homes FEMA pat them on the back and gave them a $750 check I'm going back next year to see them again and if you'd like, I'll get you their true stories, but it was sickening to hear
It reminded me of the days when George Bush said they were doing a good job and it was just a lie
I wish I remembered the name of the town they were posting from, but you might've seen the line of trucks and trailers coming to help and they weren't from FEMA
Why don't you go stick your head back up your worthless ass where you normally keep it, you fuckwit. You're dumb enough, someone must be telling you breathe in, breathe out. Losing you and the rest of the inbred white descendants of the Confederate traitors will really make America Great Again
My sentiments exactly. Save your breath, TC. "Rick" is a Russian bot. Conversing with it will only feed it information, making it easier for it to hide the fact that it is a bot. If nothing else, the sheer number of words it can generate in a very short time is a tip-off.
Nancy , I have persisted in telling you I voice text and I donтАЩt look back because Content is much more important than Form and I think the people here are plenty intelligent enough to figure it out
If youтАЩd like to correct my ninth grade English, please proceed, but I I can assure you that my syntax, grammar punctuation and vocabulary are more than extremely sound when I need to be
Wow nice A very poignant and erudite comment I must say. Did you go to school in a public bathroom or what?
ItтАЩs terrible when people put their heads on someone elseтАЩs shoulders, or seem to imagine what the person on the other side of this post might be, or look like, or their origins, or their faith or their beliefs. In your case, when hate takes over, everything is predictable.
And by the way, I have tried to believe everything youтАЩre saying, but indeed, I havenтАЩt been able to fit my head up that far up my ass.
Answer would be none. IтАЩd sure like to know why you ask that question Believe I know where youтАЩre leading, but I donтАЩt want to assume anything
And to me, I donтАЩt have to travel to African countries or work there to understand that America is more important than Africa to Americans unless you donтАЩt love America.
"Ask yourself, what impact Africa is that on this country in the past 25 years." - We're heavily invested (troops, drones, infrastructure, intelligence gathering) in East Africa to counter groups prone to launch attacks against Western Countries (including this one.) Many of these assets are used in and around The Middle East in addition to Africa and are not attention-getting. I won't claim this commitment is without issue or occasional fault (or loss of life), but it is strategic and one of many efforts to keep Americans safe at home.
America can keep American safe at home by increasing our defense status. We can help Americans more by getting the poor and homeless off the streets. We can help Americans more by stopping this drug infested trafficking of both drugs and people and children
Let me ask the question again. What impact has Africa had on this country try that question
Maybe these are same $90 billion worth of assets that Biden left in Afghanistan ?
We live in America we take care of our citizens first like every country does. We have so many problems of this country that could use the 200 billion were spending in Ukraine or the 150 billion were spending on housing and feeding and protect protecting illegal immigrants.
ItтАЩs probably the town in North Carolina thatтАЩs up the road from me, about a 30-to-40 minute drive west. People in western North Carolina have suffered a great deal of loss because of the recent hurricane. Whole communities have been literally wiped off the map. Some people in my town lost everything (we were lucky), but west of us things are still rough for a lot of people.
A bit of revisionist History going on here, especially with regard to US intent in Africa and our support of right-wing governments there. The failure to mention that the United States had also named the armed opposition as "terrorists" is a significant bias of omission. Disappointed in this letter. The long-term role of apologist for Biden is evident. Biden has done more for the middle class than any president, including Roosevelt, but his role in Gaza makes him complicit in genocide, which also makes all of us complicit in genocide. I am horrified.
You should be upset then about your GOP representatives putting poison pills in their most recent bill to strip power away from the new governor than they do about supporting more aid for your community. You should also be concerned about the GOP that wants to cut VA benefits.
If you aren't worried about Africa or other nations, you are living in a bubble. The more we can do to build resilient economies across the world, the less of a need there will be for people to immigrate here out of fear that they have no opportunities at home. Also, as the leading Democracy in the world, building alliances with our partners can help from a foreign policy, trade and general ability to solve big problems. The reason why veterans or even normal people in America aren't doing better isn't because we sent $1B to Africa.... What a low info take.
Rick, IтАЩm a 72-year old white male, one-time Reagan Republican originally from Shelby, myself. NC has been purple for many years and is poised to learn a huge lesson from a second dose of Donald Trump.
You saw where Donnie recently acknowledged in his Time magazine interview that he wonтАЩt be able to bring prices down. So essentially, heтАЩs admitted to lying directly during his campaign to the MAGA base. Surprised? IтАЩm certainly not. HeтАЩs demonstrating that he cannot тАЬbring home the baconтАЭ that he so fervently complained about the price ofтАж
Actually, thatтАЩs not what he said. He said it would be hard and of course it will be. But hereтАЩs another option. You might want to check out the house. We call it now the тАЬmeet the depressedтАЭ interview with Kristen Welker and see how he not only answered questions immediately but specifically. If you want to get your information, you should seek out other sources when possible or viable. And as I say the many people here, and I donтАЩt know why this is with liberals thereтАЩs so many liberals here that are negative in advance, fatalistic, and pessimistic not to mention unsupportive. Why donтАЩt we wait to judge the actual facts versus using crystal bowls and Ouija boards to predict what will happen
And lastly, I would point you to a comment by I believe sheтАЩs a CNN or MSNBC commentator Stephanie Ruhle, who said Democrat should stop the histrionics because as weтАЩve learned 80% of what we think is gonna happen never happens. In other words, donтАЩt prejudge.
Because he continues to work not only for the people in this country but also for people in Africa and other parts of the world that are going to continue to need the help of the US.
HeтАЩs going turn all the work heтАЩs done for the American people and for the people around the world, his accomplishments, and his progresses over to Donald Trump.
Jeff it would be great to help the world, but we have major problems here that are much more pressing in America right here at home that I have mentioned above. Every country I know of takes care of itself before it takes care of its neighbors by necessity, or it dies.
We are $36 trillion in debt and canтАЩt even pay our own bills. We can Ella Ford to spend $1 billion in Africa right now. ItтАЩs an insult to poor Americans itтАЩs an insult to sick Americans itтАЩs an insult to veterans who laid down their life for this country.
There may indeed come a day when we can again reach out and help the world like we did in World War II but the Geo political landscape is not the same as it was then so we have to first solve the issues here get our own house in order and then we can reach out.
It's most likely a bot, and if not, is at least trying to disrupt this community. HCR's LFAA is very popular and it is quite likely this is the intention.
Carolyn, I always welcome the first person that draws attention to that. I really relish that first post. I have every reason to believe that you have been able to understand my gibberish! I voice text everything and have a firm belief that the people here are intelligent enough to figure out the essence.
In other words, IтАЩm a huge proponent of CONTENT over form. I hope that helps. If you need something explained just let me know. But I will be voice texting that as well no promises ЁЯША. Sorry
Rick, UNC just signed a contract worth $10M for a football coach. How can the State afford it when they have so many homeless people? Something wrong with your state government?
I donтАЩt live in Carolina. I was there visiting. When I said, IтАЩm homeless, I have three friends that got their homes washed away and theyтАЩre still waiting for help and weтАЩre turned down by their insurance companies on top of that. IтАЩm not sure whoтАЩs paying $10 million for the coach but perhaps youтАЩre not really up to speed on how these contracts are paid
Most of them get paid by donors and sponsors and wealthy supporters and what they call Boosters Who have something to gain by the success of the team . And even upon occasion, they raise bonds to pay for stadiums and teams like this. Hope that answers your obviously negative question.
I would personally like to pinch him. It was a selfish act. His ego is sorely bruised so he goes abroad to play Presidential. The timing could not be worse.
President Biden, the best president in my 66 years, is still doing whatever he can to promote democracy, despite the chaos and cruelty we all know is to come. I cannot thank him enough.
Years from now Joe Biden's name will shine like a beacon to those who value democracy and wise leadership as well as statesmanship. God Bless him.

But donтАЩt worry youтАЩll come around after the country begins to recover from the disaster of Joe Biden, and his administration. Not Pedro Biden was ever in control of this administration. Add despite your protestations to the contrary if not for Covid, Donald Trump would be leaving office right now not just going back in
Many on here are on their umpteenth booster, the vaccines are likely causing clotting in their brains and their continued mask wearing is affecting their oxygen levels. They can not be trusted to formulate rational thoughts at this point. Remember these people are driving on our roads in addition to voting. Beware!
Rick
You elected a Russian asset to lead our country when trumpster dumpster takes the office of president. He fucked up everything he touched last time. It will be worse this time. We are doomed.
No, Pat, we're not, because we mustn't roll over. It will be worse, and I'm worried, but we're not powerless.
I guess you didnтАЩt see one of my post earlier that unfortunately for people that already have TDS they are now growing a like organism in their head. ItтАЩs called TRDS. Trump Russia derangement syndrome
Want to keep living, ethics, conspiracy, and believing in this nonsense youтАЩre on your own. Those of us that love America, we look at proof of success and America first. Not Ukraine first not Africa first. And certainly not Burisma first
ЁЯЩД
Ah Rick, a pathetic comment!
He certainly does.
I' with you Susan with your sentiment. He's the best president in my 67 years!
In what country do you live?
Unfortunately, Susan, no one can predict the future and your pessimism is unnecessary. World is waking up to a new presidency and the sun is shining. Please join us in the sunshine get out of the rain.
I can buy to be so great when thereтАЩs still people in North Carolina that are living in tents and 150 volunteers brought their own mobile homes so that people could have someplace to live and stay warm and survive. IтАЩm homeless by the hundreds of thousands we have poverty everywhere we have veterans who gave their life for this country in And weтАЩre worried about whatтАЩs gonna happen in Africa in 25 years
Ask yourself, what impact Africa is that on this country in the past 25 years
LetтАЩs take care of America for Shelby
WeтАЩll Rick, let us see what the Trump group does for yтАЩall. Let us know. Best of luck with that!
Meanwhile, yes Africa matters to what happens to you. Hard to believe, but that is why geopolitics and helping our friends concern us here.
Deidre, Africa does not matter to rick because he is a bot. Conversing with him will yield nothing.
No Africa matters to me probably number 15 on the list
Where America is first. You go ahead and list the rest.
DonтАЩt feed the bot
Well, hereтАЩs something that probably none of you on this paper, trail or substack Trail have ever dared to do Google this : Trump administration, accomplishments. Do you wanna be fair minded? Do that!
Because of what Trump has gone through in his ascension back to the presidency, he is going to be named one of the 4 or 5 best presidents in American history 25 years from now or more. Change your channel and see what else is out there Get out of your bubble go visit flyover country where neighbors help each other and care for each other like the volunteers that brought 150 mobile homes to North Carolina so that people would have a place to stay warm waiting for Fmm FEMA to do anything.
And ask yourself why Biden is now on The sidelines
What garbage! FEMA is still on the ground and hard at work for those in my hometown. If there is anyone still in a tent it is by their own choice. Trailers are in place with more coming. https://x.com/AvlWatchdog/status/1866141408110813432
Check this out.
PLEASE do not respond to the troll.
It's most likely a bot, and if not, is at least trying to disrupt this community. HCR's LFAA is very popular and it is quite likely this is the intention
Have you seen the video of the hundred or so local volunteers who towed a trailer to the victims offering them a place to stay? If you haven't seen that, I would say you haven't done enough searching.
I don't care what this video shows. I'm telling you that just yesterday there was a number of couples that were still living intense and they were on air representing the other hundred and so people that were still living intense and it showed a caravan a privately owned trucks pulling Campers to provide these people with shelter I was also in Hawaii not too long after the fires then you should've heard that complaints about FEMA then not only did it take him a month almost to respond, but they would not let Outer Islands bring food in by boat to feed people that were hungry.
And many people who lost their homes FEMA pat them on the back and gave them a $750 check I'm going back next year to see them again and if you'd like, I'll get you their true stories, but it was sickening to hear
It reminded me of the days when George Bush said they were doing a good job and it was just a lie
I wish I remembered the name of the town they were posting from, but you might've seen the line of trucks and trailers coming to help and they weren't from FEMA
Wrong. Been there done that. Not much happening for the people.
Seek help тАж..why is the country is trouble CLIMATE CHANGE BABY
So I guess you donтАЩt wanna talk about the climate change hoax
Do you see climate change as an as exist existential threat to humanity and the planet?
Almost every prediction about climate change has been incorrect since 1960 and or about.
Waiting for an answer.

Why don't you go stick your head back up your worthless ass where you normally keep it, you fuckwit. You're dumb enough, someone must be telling you breathe in, breathe out. Losing you and the rest of the inbred white descendants of the Confederate traitors will really make America Great Again
My sentiments exactly. Save your breath, TC. "Rick" is a Russian bot. Conversing with it will only feed it information, making it easier for it to hide the fact that it is a bot. If nothing else, the sheer number of words it can generate in a very short time is a tip-off.
Steve, you could be the poster child for paranoia. Sad
Calm down TC. He'll get bored and go away, if we ignore him.
Kind of pathetic attention seeking by yet another trumpanzee.
I agree, but he/it is like a pesky fly. He/it keeps posting replies to people and they get annoyed enough to answer.
PLEASE PEOPLE!! If you enjoy the forum here, DO NOT REPLY TO HIM/IT!!
Just don't, ignore the urge!
Miselle, I just commented about his grammar and word choices. See "intense" written twice above, when the correct words should have been "in tents."
Nancy , I have persisted in telling you I voice text and I donтАЩt look back because Content is much more important than Form and I think the people here are plenty intelligent enough to figure it out
If youтАЩd like to correct my ninth grade English, please proceed, but I I can assure you that my syntax, grammar punctuation and vocabulary are more than extremely sound when I need to be
RIC Bot
He is a bot.
Wow nice A very poignant and erudite comment I must say. Did you go to school in a public bathroom or what?
ItтАЩs terrible when people put their heads on someone elseтАЩs shoulders, or seem to imagine what the person on the other side of this post might be, or look like, or their origins, or their faith or their beliefs. In your case, when hate takes over, everything is predictable.
And by the way, I have tried to believe everything youтАЩre saying, but indeed, I havenтАЩt been able to fit my head up that far up my ass.
How many African countries did you travel and work in last 3 decades?
PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THE TROLL/BOT
Thank you. I mean it.
Answer would be none. IтАЩd sure like to know why you ask that question Believe I know where youтАЩre leading, but I donтАЩt want to assume anything
And to me, I donтАЩt have to travel to African countries or work there to understand that America is more important than Africa to Americans unless you donтАЩt love America.

"Ask yourself, what impact Africa is that on this country in the past 25 years." - We're heavily invested (troops, drones, infrastructure, intelligence gathering) in East Africa to counter groups prone to launch attacks against Western Countries (including this one.) Many of these assets are used in and around The Middle East in addition to Africa and are not attention-getting. I won't claim this commitment is without issue or occasional fault (or loss of life), but it is strategic and one of many efforts to keep Americans safe at home.
America can keep American safe at home by increasing our defense status. We can help Americans more by getting the poor and homeless off the streets. We can help Americans more by stopping this drug infested trafficking of both drugs and people and children
Sorry, Africa will have to wait.
Let me ask the question again. What impact has Africa had on this country try that question
Maybe these are same $90 billion worth of assets that Biden left in Afghanistan ?
We live in America we take care of our citizens first like every country does. We have so many problems of this country that could use the 200 billion were spending in Ukraine or the 150 billion were spending on housing and feeding and protect protecting illegal immigrants.
Hi there. Did i miss something? Who is Shelby?
Rick's reply is interesting. Why wouldn't he pick up on that, unless he's an AI bot. . .
Shelby is a city in NC, 45 miles west of Charlotte, the county seat of Cleveland county.
ItтАЩs probably the town in North Carolina thatтАЩs up the road from me, about a 30-to-40 minute drive west. People in western North Carolina have suffered a great deal of loss because of the recent hurricane. Whole communities have been literally wiped off the map. Some people in my town lost everything (we were lucky), but west of us things are still rough for a lot of people.
A bit of revisionist History going on here, especially with regard to US intent in Africa and our support of right-wing governments there. The failure to mention that the United States had also named the armed opposition as "terrorists" is a significant bias of omission. Disappointed in this letter. The long-term role of apologist for Biden is evident. Biden has done more for the middle class than any president, including Roosevelt, but his role in Gaza makes him complicit in genocide, which also makes all of us complicit in genocide. I am horrified.
Sorry Frances my bad. DidnтАЩt pick up on that it shouldтАЩve said Shall we?!
A few more mistakes like that and your programmers might delete you.
PLEASE don't respond to the troll/bot.
Even a troll/bot has entertainment value.
Yes you did. Shelby is a small NC town west of Charlotte.
You should be upset then about your GOP representatives putting poison pills in their most recent bill to strip power away from the new governor than they do about supporting more aid for your community. You should also be concerned about the GOP that wants to cut VA benefits.
If you aren't worried about Africa or other nations, you are living in a bubble. The more we can do to build resilient economies across the world, the less of a need there will be for people to immigrate here out of fear that they have no opportunities at home. Also, as the leading Democracy in the world, building alliances with our partners can help from a foreign policy, trade and general ability to solve big problems. The reason why veterans or even normal people in America aren't doing better isn't because we sent $1B to Africa.... What a low info take.
ЁЯЩД
Rick, IтАЩm a 72-year old white male, one-time Reagan Republican originally from Shelby, myself. NC has been purple for many years and is poised to learn a huge lesson from a second dose of Donald Trump.
You saw where Donnie recently acknowledged in his Time magazine interview that he wonтАЩt be able to bring prices down. So essentially, heтАЩs admitted to lying directly during his campaign to the MAGA base. Surprised? IтАЩm certainly not. HeтАЩs demonstrating that he cannot тАЬbring home the baconтАЭ that he so fervently complained about the price ofтАж
Actually, thatтАЩs not what he said. He said it would be hard and of course it will be. But hereтАЩs another option. You might want to check out the house. We call it now the тАЬmeet the depressedтАЭ interview with Kristen Welker and see how he not only answered questions immediately but specifically. If you want to get your information, you should seek out other sources when possible or viable. And as I say the many people here, and I donтАЩt know why this is with liberals thereтАЩs so many liberals here that are negative in advance, fatalistic, and pessimistic not to mention unsupportive. Why donтАЩt we wait to judge the actual facts versus using crystal bowls and Ouija boards to predict what will happen
And lastly, I would point you to a comment by I believe sheтАЩs a CNN or MSNBC commentator Stephanie Ruhle, who said Democrat should stop the histrionics because as weтАЩve learned 80% of what we think is gonna happen never happens. In other words, donтАЩt prejudge.
.
AI syntax needs to reprogrammed!
Why are there so many AI conspiracy theorists here? IтАЩm not a bot my post have nothing to do with AI. Nothing join the real world will you please
Sorry, how can Biden be so great.
Because he continues to work not only for the people in this country but also for people in Africa and other parts of the world that are going to continue to need the help of the US.
HeтАЩs going turn all the work heтАЩs done for the American people and for the people around the world, his accomplishments, and his progresses over to Donald Trump.
LetтАЩs see how it works out.
Jeff it would be great to help the world, but we have major problems here that are much more pressing in America right here at home that I have mentioned above. Every country I know of takes care of itself before it takes care of its neighbors by necessity, or it dies.
We are $36 trillion in debt and canтАЩt even pay our own bills. We can Ella Ford to spend $1 billion in Africa right now. ItтАЩs an insult to poor Americans itтАЩs an insult to sick Americans itтАЩs an insult to veterans who laid down their life for this country.
There may indeed come a day when we can again reach out and help the world like we did in World War II but the Geo political landscape is not the same as it was then so we have to first solve the issues here get our own house in order and then we can reach out.
My goodness, Rick, you really need to do something about your autocorrect - it turns your comments into gibberish.
Rick is a bot. There is no autocorrect involved here.
Carolyn, it might be a тАШtalk to textтАЩ issue. Ella Ford? тАШIll affordтАЩ I assume, sounds more like a pronunciation issue
PLEASE do not respond to the troll.
It's most likely a bot, and if not, is at least trying to disrupt this community. HCR's LFAA is very popular and it is quite likely this is the intention.
Carolyn, I always welcome the first person that draws attention to that. I really relish that first post. I have every reason to believe that you have been able to understand my gibberish! I voice text everything and have a firm belief that the people here are intelligent enough to figure out the essence.
In other words, IтАЩm a huge proponent of CONTENT over form. I hope that helps. If you need something explained just let me know. But I will be voice texting that as well no promises ЁЯША. Sorry
Rick, UNC just signed a contract worth $10M for a football coach. How can the State afford it when they have so many homeless people? Something wrong with your state government?
I donтАЩt live in Carolina. I was there visiting. When I said, IтАЩm homeless, I have three friends that got their homes washed away and theyтАЩre still waiting for help and weтАЩre turned down by their insurance companies on top of that. IтАЩm not sure whoтАЩs paying $10 million for the coach but perhaps youтАЩre not really up to speed on how these contracts are paid
Most of them get paid by donors and sponsors and wealthy supporters and what they call Boosters Who have something to gain by the success of the team . And even upon occasion, they raise bonds to pay for stadiums and teams like this. Hope that answers your obviously negative question.
I would personally like to pinch him. It was a selfish act. His ego is sorely bruised so he goes abroad to play Presidential. The timing could not be worse.
