US Military Budget 721 billion
US Military is deployed in 151 countries

Clearly someone has a vested interest in justifying and expanding both budget and deployment

These so call racist americans sure love their country :roll_eyes:

Georgia hand tally of votes is complete, affirms Biden lead

So in your view is anybody who isn’t on the right, the left? Nobody on the right is violent, is destroying property, is running protestors down the streets, is attacking media professional physically, is for removal of historic monuments?

Sure, there are some people who, when they say defund the police, they mean abolish the police. But I would wager most are in the move/transfer funds camp, move budget away from military weapons and training and into local community related programs related to mental health illness, poverty, and jobs training programs. Take some of these roles away from the police and focus on professionals with training to handle many of those situations. Let the police do the policing. But you keep pushing that abolish-the-police-completely narrative. You’re doing exactly what you chastise the media for doing.

That just tends to be the bulk of his actions, words, policy. Negative. I’ve given him credit on going after China, creating jobs, deregulation in some industries, but that doesn’t mean I can’t call him out on his other crap. I agree Trump isn’t the cause of the all of the turmoil we’re facing today. But he sure isn’t helping to fix any of it. He’s lighting the fire with his ambiguity, his playing of both sides, his lies.

Luckily I’ve already answered that elsewhere. I’d love your input on my list.

I literally just answered that in the post you quoted.

I think this means the machine tally is next.

Also, why are cities and counties using memory cards anyway? As we’ve seen, they aren’t the most dependable pieces of technology.

There’s got to be a better way.

US President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in Georgia has been confirmed by a recount, as legal efforts by Donald Trump’s allies to challenge his defeat were dismissed in three states.

The Democrat beat his Republican rival in Georgia by 12,284 votes, according to the audit required by state law.

Mr Biden said he was confident Mr Trump knew he was not going to win and had shown “incredible irresponsibility”.

The Democrat is set to take office in January as the 46th US president.

Reports in UK that Mr Trump is changing his approach today Friday.

Mr Trump has invited Michigan’s Republican lawmakers to the White House on Friday, hinting at a possible change in tactics. BBC News.

They further report.
One possibility that US media are speculating on is that he will try to get Republican-friendly state legislatures in key states to override the choice of voters and instead select members of the US Electoral College who would be favourable to the president.

Just wondering if he were to adopt such an approach how would Trump supporters feel about such a move - apparently federal law says statehouse legislators have the power to pick electors if the state has “failed to make a choice” and it’s those electors that get to choose the new President.

Could Mr Trump make the case that the various States have failed to make a choice?

Would such action be anti-democratic?

What do you guys from US think - I think it’s maybe it’s just fake news.

well it seems the Crayon crew can’t do simple sums !

AND as we know when they can’t understand something - they have to shout it down and pretend it doesn’t exist ! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Is this what cost Trump the Election ?

His vote share from all “ID Groups” - increased - except for ONE !

Black men - Up
Black women - Up
Latinos - Up
LGBTQ - Up
White Women - Up
White Men - DOWN by 5% !

Now since overall among the other Groups - his share was up by around 5% we could perhaps consider that his share among white men ( who were generally thought to be his “power base” ) should have been Up by around 5% which when added to the decline means he lost out on about 10% of white male votes.

I have been puzzling over this for some time - then just now I heard This - and I think this is the Real reason he seems to have lost the election ! AND I have to say that had he done THIS to me during my period of vulnerability - r to a close relative or friend - I TOO would have voted AGAINST Him !

Just listen to the next minute or so to hear what I am talking about !

Which part of “Nobody wants war” didn’t you understand?
Let me say it in words even a dementia-inflicted member of the Incontinent Crew can understand.
I don’t want war, bring the troops home.
Is that clear enough for you? :roll_eyes:

Thank you, why do you make this so hard, it is like the worst thing in the world for you is for us to agree on anything

So are all the hate mems posted of Donald Trump by some here also racist

and can you explain just how a photo can be racist,

and what happen to this deputy’s freedom of speech

Again, 100% in agreement with you. Police are being put in a no win situation without proper training or the backing of the community.

I am not going to reply to all your comments but I do hope we can have some more civil disagreements and even the occasional agreement

Take care
