This is what happens when Big Media spends years sane washing a madman. Had the media done its job, 2016 would have gone differently. Since I'm an optimist I believe we will survive him.

Had the DNC done it's job, 2016 would have also gone differently. Sanders could have beaten Trump. But they thought anyone could beat Trump, and it was Ms. Clinton's "turn" to win.

I agree as well. I'm pretty sure if the DNC had not "appointed and anointed" HRC and run Sanders, the last 8 years would have been much different.

I don't think Bernie could have won. Bern is a true blue socialist and they still call him a communist because people don't understand the difference.

Hillary did win the popular vote and thats all that should matter.

Trump should automatically be disqualified for threats. I ask for more punishment in my mind but I don't want to get banned. lol

I’m sure there will be complaints, marches. But I don’t hear any leftist leaders calling for violence, harassing poll workers, or saying their opponents should be shot in the face….

I saw the clip. Contex matters. Had Trump said this during the anti Vietnam war demonstrations, he'd have been a hero for it. Now, reported entirely out of context, it's portrayed as a threat. The message was, send the politicians to war instead, mangled ala Trump.

I won't defend him, but I'll again slam the media for warping reality to fit its agenda.

This campaign has been lies lies distortions and lies by candidates of both major parties. Side note dems are not the left and I agree the real left is not threatening violence.

That was my take too, hyped up by Democrats and the media carries their messages. The media sell more newspapers, get more viewers and get more clicks on their sites, it's revenue and that's all they care about. On Tuesday the remaining votes will be cast, but then we have to deal with the exploding heads, Democrats if Trump wins or Republicans if Harris wins. Americans need chill pills.

the claim is that the big mistake is to fight the last war. The Dems appear to be focused on the future and the Repubs to the past. I think the Repubs will be voted out of power for several election cycles until they can respond to the actual situation.

Trump released 5,000 Taliban prisoners, drew back our forces in Afghanistan which F'd up our withdrawal which resulted in deaths of soldiers.
He is an idiot.

I saw the clip, he is sayiing what exactly he wants to happen to Cheney.

Trump also called in troops with no badges to terrorize Black Lives Matter protestors. But then didn't call in his insurrectionists at t he capitol.
Believe him when he says he will use troops in violation of the constitution to get Cheney and others.

You do realize Biden was CIF during the withdrawal, right?

But I do agree, Trump's an idiot. One of the reasons I'm pretty sure we'll survive him. Now, if he was smart or competent, we'd be in real trouble.

Biden bears responsibility for the withdrawal. However, one has to take into consideration the conditions of that withdrawal and the consequences if he stalled.

Trump had withdrawn enough troops to make the situation dangerous for the remaining troops - who the Taliban would have killed completely if the withdrawal didn’t happen.

Trump also closed every airbase except one, which further exacerbated the difficulty.

He had invited the Taliban to bloody Camp David before being talked out of it, and completely excluded the Afghan government (who our servicemen died to democratically elect) and essentially gave the Taliban the equipment because the government had no standing in Trump’s deal. And, one of the more than 5000 terrorists he released is now the head of the illegal government who owns the equipment.

It’s all right there in the Doha agreement if you take 2 seconds to read it.

Don’t forget that the orange Child wouldn’t let Biden’s transition team get any information about what was going on, nor did they cooperate in any way.


So yeah, Biden was in charge, but he was also left scrambling to figure it out without any help
