It was enough of a Nazi salute for the head of France’s far-right party, who are Nazis, to cancel his planned speech.

I didn’t ask for an argument, I asked for an explanation. Apparently you don’t have one.

Nope. That’s not an explanation for why all of the conflicts I listed including the war with ISIS in Iraq, which is still happening (sounds like a forever war to me) are not Trump’s fault.

You have not explained why none of those are Trump’s fault and yet the wars you are talking about are Biden’s fault. Please explain.

Okay the Trump is responsible for all of these wars and military conflicts since they happened under his watch:

I believe you described all of that as “very peaceful” earlier.

Looking forward to the explanation for how ISIS in Iraq isn’t Trump’s fault even though somehow it’s Biden’s fault that Russia invaded Ukraine.

Neither of those were started by Biden. Why did you say they were?

Also, what progress? Russia just drone bombed the Chernobyl concrete dome.

Which wars in specific were the “forever wars” that Biden started that Trump then stopped? Which countries did Biden invade with the military he controls? Name them.

I said he is threatening to start them. Read before you respond.

Also, the president, despite what you and Trump think, is not the emperor of the world and cannot stop other countries from starting wars. Trump won’t be able to either if that’s what some other country decides to do. He doesn’t have magic powers like you seem to think he does.

I know that Biden didn’t start any wars and also that even if he did, they weren’t in Somalia. Or Panama. Or Greenland. Or Canada.

You’re really not good at being deceptive, so maybe you should stop trying.

He was bombing Somalia two weeks ago: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdrye506z1go

He has threatened to go to war with Panama, Greenland and fucking Canada.

Either you’re ignorant of what Trump is doing or you’re just lying. Neither is a good look.

So when will you be doing it?

Democrats had no problem with Hillary Clinton’s gender when she was overwhelmingly confirmed by them as Secretary of State. I assume you called anyone who criticized her sexist, right? How about anyone who criticized Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, also overwhelmingly confirmed by Demcocrats. So you are definitely a sexist, racist person if you were against her becoming a SCOTUS justice.

Hillary Clinton and Judge Jackson thank you for your support of them.

Trump is literally threatening wars all over the planet right now. Are you really that ignorant about what is going on in your own country? What your own president is saying literally on a daily basis?

The something new being support for ruthless dictators? Is that the sort of new thing you think is good?

What does the number of votes have to do with her support of a ruthless dictator like Bashar Assad? All that proves is that Republicans are fine with her supporting a horrible ruthless dictator that tortured and murdered countless people. You can make this about her race and gender all you like, but all you’re doing is ignoring the quotes of her saying literal things and support of both him and Russia in that article. Not that I’m surprised that you’re ignoring her actual words that she said. It makes it much easier to defend her if you ignore them. Not honest, but easier.

Do you think that maybe being pro-Assad and praising Russia for backing him might make her a poor choice for the role she’s been handed?

Cool. How about the fact that she was very pro-Assad and praising Russia for backing him?

You can read the literal words she says in that article, but something tells me you won’t.

A vast amount of it used to be Mexico.

Good luck now that you’ve said that. You’re going to be savaged by a certain type of vegan in PM. I was spammed by one this morning and I didn’t even mention animal products recently as far as I know.

(There are decent vegans, but then there are the asshole type who feel like they can berate and harass people into veganism.)

Yes, and that’s ridiculous. It’s part of the “everything he does is a distraction from the really bad stuff” argument I keep seeing on Lemmy. Except it isn’t. He’s doing a shit ton of damage right out in the open right after saying he’s going to do it.

Don’t believe him on firing a ton of government employees? Don’t believe him on tariffs? Don’t believe him on mass deportations? No, all of that is a distraction. And why don’t the people affected realize that when they should be not believing him since this is all a distraction?

“Don’t believe him” might as well be “ignore the suffering.”
