Yep, I’m sure Biden will get things back to normal.
Open your eyes, with the recent power grabs by the leftist states, if a leftist gets in the White House it’s game over. Declare a national emergency and it’s on. The left is the enemy, they despise you because you dare to exercise your freedom. |

You want to blame Trump yet it is the majority of the leftist blue state governors that went full on retard. Some are doubling down on it as we speak. He wanted to open it up back in April yet most scoffed at the idea. Even in this very forum. Sure ok, Trump's fault. We were fucked no matter who was sitting in the Oval office.

I doubt that Trump approves of the COVID spending bills, but he is in a no-win situation. If he says no, they will override his veto anyways, and then use it as a campaign issue. "See, Trump didn't want to give you money,but we did".
I'm not a big Trump fan, but there is literally nothing he can do to stop this spending. If you can't see that, then you need a remedial class in American Government, because you don't understand how any of it works. |

Who comes next? We should really be thinking about it, at least. And no, Pence is a shitty choice; there's a reason no one heard of him before Trump. Like I said, it requires acknowledgement of failure, that there are no good choices this cycle because we failed to secure them, and it hardly matters which of the two remaining is worse by comparison. |
