    I'm not sure if there was a better method of getting all that he did. He had to fight the deep state as well as Pelosi's personal hatred attacks with two impeachments. I think there were some things in the first two years that Republicans could have done much better at. The first things that come to mind is correcting the election laws and requiring voter ID for all elections with federal implications like the Presidency and Congress. Second, to have corrected the immigration laws to favor Americans first.

    The so-called blunders are about the way he worded things. But, it really doesn't matter since the Media was going to twist his words against him anyway.

    It's changed a lot because of the gambling. And, it's harder to get to White Rocks now. They don't want people up their and rattle snakes have come in. That's probably because of the wild fires that took out the forests surrounding Deadwood over the decades. The state hasn't established a re-growth of the trees as they should have. Other than that, it's a nice town still. Places to visit and things to do.

    It would work on Doctors and nurses if they were the cure.

    Nurses and Doctors Sick With COVID Feel Pressured to Get Back to Work

    The first call in early April was from the testing center, informing the nurse she was positive for COVID-19 and should quarantine for two weeks.

    The second call, less than 20 minutes later, was from her employer, as the hospital informed her she could return to her job within two days.

    I have to correct you. The Syrian army defeated ISIS with Russian logistics and air force and Iranian man power. The Americans had nothing to do with it, their only concern was to get rid of Assad and were indirectly helping the terrorists with the false flag chemical attacks..

    When Lavrov realized that the US does not want peace in Syria and wants the war to keep going on, Russia began to have peace meetings with Turkey and Iran and started creating deconfliction zones guarded by Russian Chechnyans. That way the Syrian people could start moving back.

    Today the only area where ISIS still exists is East of the Euphrates, and that's because Washington needs them as an excuse for being in Syria when they weren't invited, so that they could hold on to the Syrian oil fields. That way the Syrian people will continue to suffer and not have the funds to rebuild their country.


    As for the Russian soldiers the Americans bombed, they weren't Russian soldiers, or there would be a war. They were Russian mercenaries hired by the Syrian Arabs who live in the area to fight ISIS. The Americans were given notice that they were entering East Syria for that reason, but the Americans said they were really there to fight the Kurds. That's why they bombed them.

    What the Americans want is for the Kurds to take hold of the Syrian oil wells, but they are not indigenous to the area, and are resented by the Syrian Arabs. Their homeland is predominantly in Turkey, Iraq and Iran.

    Have you had any friends from Taiwan? Like all other countries, they are not of one mind. But I do not believe Taiwan wants China ruling them. In fact I have never heard of Taiwan wanting to rule them.

    Oh, Hell - as soon as you bring up "Soros" I know you are nothing but a crank.

    And what have I said about "silencing conservative God-fearing people"?

    And what failed "socialist experiments" are you referring to - ? Social security and Medicare? The prescription drug benefit passed by the Bush Admin? Or Obamacare, which has extended health insurance to tens of thousands who needed it, and which Republicans could never come up with a single viable alternative to??

    And of course, Conservatives are now ginning themselves up for yet another Holy War - this time with China. You people are going to bring ruin on the United States. If there is a God, God is using you to destroy the country.

    Lots of countries have missiles that can reach the U.S.; what are we going to do, go to war with the whole world? Why are we meddling in East Asia, in the Middle East? What those countries are doing isn't our business, it is the business of their neighbors who have to deal with them. In any event, no one is going to make a nuclear attack on US for no reason, they know that their country would be destroyed if they did. But if we continue to meddle in the business of other countries on the other side of the world, that would give them a reason to attack us. To Hell with All That - it is time to close the bases and bring the troops HOME. No more CRUSADES by you religious zealots.

    Trump was going to pardon 100 people? I doubt it if he pardons any in that length of time.

    You are utterly misinformed. ISIS was defeated by the American military, on a plan and on a timetable set up by the Obama Admin. back in 2014. Trump did not "completely change military tactics with ISIS" - that is a lie.

    Obama was wise to defer to Congress (and the American people) before engaging in a foolish war against Syria. Congress did not give war authorization; and the people didn't want the war. And it set up a diplomatic coup of facilitating the withdraw of almost all of Syria's WMD's.

    Trump's bombing of Syria was only a pinprick strike for the TV cameras, but the Conservative chickenhawks ate it up. If we really went to war in Syria, it would have been an absolute disaster, and would have led directly to war with Russian forces in the region, and who knows where else.

    And America is not responsible for Israel's defense. Israel has systematically antagonized their neighbors - No American blood for Israel.

    Trump, as far as I have heard, was never interested in negotiations on subsequent Covid-bills, because he was never interested in Covid. His proposal for 2000 stimulus checks was a total about-face; prior to that he was threatening to take no action at all. The guy never does anything except out of narrow political calculation.

    In the run-up to the election, Pelosi did refuse to compromise with McConnell; it was a reasonable political calculation, she thought that the Dems would get both Houses of Congress and then she could bypass his demand for a smaller (and manifestly inadequate) bill. She miscalculated (partly on the basis of faulty polling), in that the Dems did not take the Senate outright; but it was very defensible statecraft.

    Is anyone excited about Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and the new Presidential cabinet coming into office? We should be. It will be good riddance to Trump and Let's hope he never holds another public office again. As President, he caused a lot of mockery and tried leading us into the fantasyland of wishful thinking. I've said all this before and I'll say it again. Trump made out as a very bad President and we all know it. Simple as that.

    I believe that Taiwan should maintain its sovereignty; but China does have a claim on Taiwan, and that matters because if the mainland is united in bringing Taiwan back into the PRC, if we side with Taiwan against China we are courting war with the People's Republic. And that is simply insane; I sympathize with Taiwan, but there is no way in Hell we should go to war with China to defend them.

    Two things are certain:
    - Biden will blame every one of his failures on Trump
    - The Useful Idiots, on cue, will repeat the claim, ad nauseam.

    A claim you often make, but know you cannot soundly support.
    You simply repeat this, hoping that people will believe you.

    The reason why Trump had no interest in negotiations on these subsequent Covid-19 bills, was that he thought it would go away just like that and you had millions of people testing positive and a large percentage dying from it. You have those that live in close quarters and in the ghettos dying from it. Trump said he'd never get it but he was wrong and did get it and was in the Hospital for three days at least. but he had the best of care and took experimental drugs whether they work or not is a different matter. Biden has different ways to deal with it and he tested negative. What does that tell you? Huh? Biden has master plans that Trump did not. That's the way it goes.

    Why? Soros' Open Society Foundation supports over 150 organizations in this county alone, and he and his organization has been banned from quite a few countries for causing chaos. The last one was Macedonia. I recall them holding signs saying 'Soros go home'.

    One thing about George Soros though, is that he was always honest about his intents - and he said that he wants a one world government and currency. So wouldn't everything he does be towards that intent?

    The last I heard from him was his anger towards Angela Merkel for not getting tough with Poland and Hungary. So here we have George Soros telling the EU what to do, and you're saying he's inconsequential? Unbelievable! He also said that they have to reconsider holding the EU in debt because it's coming apart, and have to start thinking of indebting the individual countries. Isn't debt a means of control?

    So the question becomes, who are 'they' that Soros is referring to? I assume he means the bankers.


    The social experiment was the Marxist USSR, with its 40 million deaths and the enslavement of a whole nation. We have been mimicking them quite well with the constant lies and propaganda thrown out by our government in the past decades. Now it's censorship of any alternative view by the social medias so what comes next, the Gulag?

    And just for your information, all the successful social projects in the USSR were put in Russia by Tsar Nicholas II. Anything put in by the atheist Communist government failed.

    It tells me that Biden was hiding in his basement, while Trump was out holding 5 rallies a day with thousands in attendance. So what was Biden's master plan, because it certainly wasn't going out and speaking to the American people?

    And by doing that, Trump broke all the pandemic rules , causing the pandemic to keep flaring up. Biden was NOT HIDING (that is just Trump bull crap and regurgitating it is just parroting him ).......he was following pandemic protocols.......which is the wise thing to do. The pandemic was so badly mishandled that it could be defined as a c rime. ( a crime of human neglect and callousness.) I ta ll started with the hoax nonsense and went downhill from there. Totally irresponsible. Those that bought into his nonsense will have some reckoning do. (not that they will. ) Refusing to wear masks is not a political statement. It is immature and irresponsible. and has contributed to the continuing surge.

    Yes, the pandemic is being driven by viral transmission in Federal buildings. The science is clear. :)

    We wouldn't be going to war with China over Taiwan. If there is a war with China, it would be for other reasons. The problem though is not China, it's our provocations, threats and incursions into Russian space, not only in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, Cyprus and Syria, but in the Arctic as well. Now we have Germany interfering in Russia and telling them they can't arrest Navalny. Right Merkel! All Putin has to do is put up his little finger, and Germany will go 'poof'.

    Anyway the idiocy is unbelievable, and it's only going to get worse with the Russian haters that Biden is putting in like Victoria Nuland. I don't know about the other countries in Europe, but the Greeks who are in the midst of it all, say that a world war is imminent. All that's needed is a match.

    ^^^^ Talk about gaslighting
    Not under any sound definition of "fascism" or "authoritarian" - which explains why you had to make up your own.
    Fact of the matter is, you cannot provide a sound definition of those terms, cite concrete examples of his words/actions, and then demonstrate how those words/actions fall under those definitions, especially in excess of the powers granted to his office.
    You know you cannot do this because you know have failed to do so every time you were asked.

    And thus, we have from you, yet again, a claim you have no hope of supporting.

    I suggest a national ad campaign featuring the success states like California and New York have had with mask mandates. If the die hards aren’t swayed by these outstanding successes, drop the hammer. Do whatever it takes.

    After all, it’s been said:

    “It is thus necessary that the individual should finally come to realise that his own ego is of no importance in comparison with the existence of the nation, that the position of the individual is conditioned solely by the interests of the nation as a whole.”
