    Lol, not even close. Not remotely close. We had like, what, 9 or 10 Dem House members try to overthrow state votes? And no Senators backing them up? And Biden gaveling them down? Now try comparing that to 2020. It will require coming to terms with reality, which I understand is likely a difficult request.

    Whataboutism Much?:bored:

    Anyway, back on-topic to Trump's Derby comments...

    DJT is clearly unhinged and his family needs to take steps to have him committed.

    He should have set a better example when he was potus.

    The only difference is in number (more democrats in 2016 than republicans in 2020) and in backing but democrats did the same thing in 2016. All according to the Constitution BTW but democrats no longer believe in the Constitution.

    Lol, you are literally trying to excuse your own party's absolute assault on the Constitution. And, no, more Republican legislators than Democrats (far, far more) were involved in attempting to overthrow the election. I encourage you to start consulting the facts instead of feelings alone.

    I could care less what our enemies think of us, only that they know we have a deterrent and allies if they are stupid enough to attack us. Our allies though, I care that they think our leadership is so inept that they openly laugh at us on the world stage.

    Tell me, why does the opinion of tyrants and dictators concern you more than that of our allies?

    Here's why the world is laughing at us:

    1. While they build their economies and military, we're fighting over men in women's sports and bathrooms.
    2. While we're fighting over the myth of women not having rights, China and Muslim countries are asking themselves, as we send them money, 'wtf are women's rights?'
    3. While the left is finding more and more ways to call something racist and blame people who aren't alive for it, China is torturing and committing genocide and the left defends that as a cultural norm, that is, when they aren't ignoring it.
    4. While China is spying on us, embeding their spies in democrat political offices and stealing our intellectual property, the left defends them at all cost, and if you saying anything about it you're a racist.
    5. China spreads a deadly virus around the world and then watches the left blame Trump for it.
    6. Russia, China and Iran are spreading their tentacles of influence while the left literally denounces anyone who wished democracy for Hong Kong.
    7. The world watched as Biden shut down the XL pipeline and crushing those jobs all while supporting the Taliban pipeline.
    8. The world is watching Biden as he wants to dump a ton of money and kill jobs over global warming. Meanwhile, those countries don't have to do anything, they can literally increase their pollution and eventually we'll give them the money to look like they're doing something about the weather.
    9. The world watched as a man who failed 3rd grade, had to lie about his low ranking in law school, dropped out of a presidential race because of plagiarism, then go on to write a law putting blacks in prison, only to then run a campaign where he called his opponent a racist even though Biden's own VP accused him of being a racist.
    10. The world watched a senile old man who hardly campaigned, and when he did had no turnout of enthusiastic supporters, go on to allegedly receive 80 million votes. Now those countries are probably asking him what the secret is.
    11. China, Russia and other communist nations are laughing at us because our schools and universities are literally spreading the good word of communism for them and it costs them nothing.
    12. The world is looking at our 'no proof of identity' policy regarding voting and questioning our sanity.
    13. The world laughs at bleeding heart American politicians who will hand money over to any foreign country with a sob story all while American citizens suffer and pay for it.
    14. Name a country, any country, who taxes their citizens and then gives some it to America. The reason they laugh at us is because it's always the other way around.

    Trump instead challenged in court the election 86 times, and lost each challenge, obviously. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pos..._the_2020_United_States_presidential_election).

    After that he pressured congress and pence to do not certify the results (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-pence-idUSKBN29A2J0)

    Still after all that he incited the attack to congress (for which I’ll use a Republican as evidence of it: )

    Comparing the events of 2016 to 2020 is laughable

    No, there is nothing similar between the 2020 elections and the 2016 elections.

    Well, they might still be nervously laughing that 74 million voted for this dingus, but the world is certainly hopeful that number will go down in perpetuity....

    I was thinking the nepotism, hiring unqualified donors and lackeys as cabinet members, dividing the nation like few before him, using the office to milk the taxpayer, promoting himself and his businesses, energizing the human filth that attacked the nation... but sure, the president of the US acting like a moody teenager sending mean tweets (most of which were blatant lies) at 2am was also desecration of a high office.

    Do you have any examples of the world currently laughing at us? All of the ones I could find were about the disgraced impeached and removed former president.

    Many nations are addressing trans issues, most of our allies actually. We are capable of addressing more than one issue at a time n

    I don’t think we should compare ourselves to China. I hope we all have higher standards than that.

    No one defends China. You confuse combating racism against individuals of Chinese ethnicity vs being against China. China is a horrible blight upon this Earth but racism is not ok.

    They blamed trumps response. No one blamed trump for the virus minus his defunding of elements that could have potentially caught it earlier.

    Who denounced Hong Kong democracy? I saw the opposite of that. Examples?

    Other nations are combating global pollution though, especially first world nations. Why would anyone laugh at trying to reduce damage to the environment?

    The secret is have a man and part of the nation that are absolutely hated by the majority. Democrats could have ran a wet paper bag and we would have had the same result. Y’all were warned that we don’t view it as a cult so no parades, no large crowds, no attempt to raid the Capitol flying our cult leaders flag.
    We just wanted him gone and his supporters to shut up.

    I could care less what China and Russia think of us outside of knowing that our military and our allies could decimate them should they engage us — why do you care what tyrants and dictators think of us?

    I haven’t seen many teachings of the positives of communism, can you show a few mandatory studies or universal curriculum doing this?

    Many nations do not require ID after the initial registration. You should really look up how the rest of the world votes as ours is fairly restrictive vs other “democracies”. Again, they are not laughing.

    This has nothing to do with Biden. Most of our aid goes to Israel or nations we have destroyed through conflict. I am fine with cutting it all to zero until we do not have a deficit. Deal?

    I heard the commercial today. Dude excited because his boss was wearing a rainbow flag pin. LOL. One wonders if they administer a lifestyle poly these days? Like, why bother.

    To be fair, a new "inclusive" CIA couldn't do any worse than the old school CIA.

    If you are too lazy to use the quote function properly then I am too lazy to continue this conversation.

    Acting like a 14 year old is something we don't talk about.

    Every time Trump does or says anything it is talked about here. Sometimes I think Trump breaking wind would generate a thread.

    It was effective in getting his name back in the news and on social media. Mission accomplished.
