The link I provided is the most accurate

No, it wasn’t. We also thought and the left continued to say that crime is down according to FBI stats and recently it was found the FBI lied about those early stats.

and you should at least read and study it.

I did.

4,545 troops died during Trump's term. 81 from hostile actions.

Russia, Ukraine, Afghanistan, the people we left behind, Haiti, Iraq and Yemen, once again, let’s just gloss over those disasters conveniently.

So when you add it all up, it’s worse because this current President did not heed the warning from his senior military leaders, I think he took a page out of his old boss’s book.

You know Jimizo, between you and me, I hope tomorrow the US electorate wakes and questions out loud, why does the November 2024 have to be a choice of Trump V Biden.

In Trump’s case they did wake up, there were a lot of other choices to Trump, but no one that half of the country liked, especially rural suburban blue collar Americans, the establishment on the other hand appeal more to the conservatives that are sometimes well-off financially or are ok with the Washington political swamp. Half of America are American first patriots and are not globalist like the establishment Republicans. As far as Biden goes, he’s it or you get Kamala, the White House doesn’t want that and neither the rest of the Democrat party.

your linked article does not state how many troops have been killed under Biden.

Look harder.

81 troops were killed by hostile action under Trump's term.

Remember the Afghanistan withdrawal and how disastrous it was, didn’t Biden say the buck stops with him? Or was he lying again?

Less than 20 were killed during Biden's term.

Ok, so that excuses Russia, Ukraine, Afghanistan, the people we left behind, Haiti, Iraq and Yemen, let’s just gloss over those disasters conveniently.

At least Aso didn’t collapse into unfounded and moronic claims the election was stolen when the electorate gave him a spanking.

I suppose that’s something in his favour.

Different country, different system, ethics, political history, so Aso didn’t have any reason to make such a claim.

Hard to make a case they were successful leaders.

In the case of the U.S. the first term of Trump was successful when you peel the banana and strip and the vegan guilt aside.

doesnt change the fact Trump was a failure legislatively

When you have a lot of enemies and cycle against you, it is definitely hard, but a lot of those people are not in office anymore, so it will be different next time around.

No.

Yes

actually yes , I bet I can show more stats to prove it than you can.

Ditto

not that polls have been more wrong than right, but it does trigger maga.

The Left it seems as well, checked our borders recently?

best thing is Biden is just getting started with his 200million war chest

Which doesn’t mean anything except more advertising. Ask DeSantis, he was outspent as well.

and yet bipartisan support show that America want to back Ukraine,

The establishment, not the regular average American

even trump stated it recently when asked. Russia is not Americas friend as maga seems to think

He doesn’t. Stop the hype, stop the gossip, you’ve been played

Biden has not started any new wars

Russia and Ukraine definitely should have stayed out of it.

https://www.politico.com/news/2022/11/08/biden-admin-nudging-led-ukraine-to-drop-putin-condition-for-peace-talks-00065679

and ended the one in Afghanistan.

Well…

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/08/16/politics/afghanistan-joe-biden-donald-trump-kabul-politics/index.html

Where in Russia are American troops?

Undercover ops?

I meant, Ukraine. My bad…

It was Trump who put the troops into Syria. 

We didn’t have body bags coming back, not to mention the conditions that laid down to the Taliban if any American soldiers were harmed. by left who can forget the images of people falling from the plane and 13 soldiers killed.

Fewer troops have been killed under Biden than previous presidents.

That is not true.

https://thehill.com/homenews/4600480-american-trust-us-military-no-longer-highest-g7-nations/

Afghanistan war was ongoing Trumps entire 4yrs.

Ongoing is not the same as starting a new war, no new war was started in those 4 years.

name me one new war Biden has started. Ill wait.

We have our troops in Russia, but still, we still have a lot of troops in Syria and Iraq that they were bombed, not too long ago, not to mention the devastating and disastrous withdrawal of Afghanistan and it looks like Taiwan is about to go off soon, so politically with NATO with the Asian Pacific, with the Middle East and the Israeli Palestinian conflict, we are all involved in it, and like Biden says the book with the president, OK, so he’s not getting an argument from me.

Biden actually ended a war, something Trump couldnt achieve

Yes, and ask all those parents whose children were killed from the king that died, asked her parents, asked the special forces that went in after to get our people out that he left stranded there, again, the buck stops with him.

wrong

Wrong, not one single one where thousands of troops had to deploy and hundreds of soldiers coming back in body bags.

almost every metric on the economy is better under Biden,

No.

markets 25% higher GDP growth is higher, Biden created far more jobs than Trump,

https://apnews.com/article/biden-trump-immigration-economy-inflation-abortion-21b95914866c2af3a1e7af8e302dbe27

I can show you that stats if you dont want to believe.

Same.

Maga always conveniently forget the worst recession in 70yrs, 20million lost jobs and a record 7.8 trillion debt under Trump.

Well, what the Democrats do is they don’t factor in retirees, baby boomers, people that are disabled, people that can’t make a good living, because a lot of people are not hiring some more people are working at home, so more people move in back with their parents, Thomas less demand for certain industries, and with the introduction of more self check services, there is no need to employ more people in many areas, these are the things that Democrats forget to add in financial reports.

His only legislative achievement in 4yrs, 2yrs when Trump held the house senate and presidency, was a trillion tax cut fore the rich thats it.

And guess what, a lot of those rich people are leaving areas, because they have the money for payroll to grow businesses, and if their tax into oblivion, they have the ability to move out of the market, so sincerely, job providers, they should get a break, if they don’t…

even republicans now admit Biden get far more done than their party of do nothing.

You’re taking that comment way, way out of context. Of course they got way more done, that’s the reason why they lost the house.

He is absolutely right.

That would be a first.

Basically completely ignoring the fact there is an illegal war for territory being prosecuted by Russia.

And China just might replicate what Russia is doing, I mean, who would stop them? Not this administration.

This might be some light at the end of the tunnel

It's beautiful.

Why? Not being fair and impartial is good? hmm...

It will be even more beautiful if he ends up in jail for contempt of court.

I see, so for our non-American followers, the rule of law is not good enough?

Ok...

Good morning, Bass. Hope you're well.

Always ;)

Only possibly one American leader would speak truth to power to Aso Taro about his corporacratic wealth and how it was built of the back of slave labor and exploitation and present time corrupt crony capitalism.

Certainly wouldn't be Biden or any other radical socialist sycophant.

Bernie Sanders. 

No one gives a twig about Bernie, really...

Only a few Japanese leaders would speak truth to power to DJT about a family legacy of racist gentrification

No racism

and about he has long benefited from a two-tier justice system that benefits the rich and powerful. 

More like political opponents.

Taro Yamamoto of the Reiwa shinsengumi or the leaders of the JCP. 

This meeting is just a Legion of Doom and having this oligarch meetup is a recipe for nefarious dealings, especially giving Trump's ongoing legal proceedings.

If you think that, then you should take a gander at the people occupying the WH.

"You've presented nothing," Merchan said. "I've asked you eight or nine times, show me the exact post he was responding to. You've not even been able to do that once."

As expected. Claiming he’s not allowed to speak out or tell the truth then when given the opportunity all he has is “waaaaaaaah”

He can't. Funny, Cohen can spout out lies all day and on his Podcast (ROFL) but Trump has to sit there and just take it, the beauty of this trial is, the circus for what it is, this just continues to help Trump.

What a baby.

Democrats certainly are.

Shows you the caliber of the average Trump voter.

the left reads the Yahoo News, get real! ROFL!

Trump is on the wrong side of an 80-20 issue again.

According to the establishment side, most definitely.

Trump said the invasion was “genius” and he killed an effort to fund the border BECAUSE it contained UA aid (and took away a talking point).

It wouldn't matter, Biden is President, he undid every single Trump Presidential executive order, and he can reinstate it, and why is that? He is the President, believe it or not. This admin and the left needs to stop peddling that lie

Trump gives not one fig about Israel

Wrong, Trump has always been a supporter of Isreal

and would trade the whole country for a can of spam if it benefited him personally. 

If that were the case he wouldn't be running for office, he certainly doesn't need this Dem sham case, but he pushes on.

Every side.

Yeah, the establishment says this daily...lol

Absolute presidential immunity is a bonkers proposition.

Dems were fine with it back in 1999

If that were recognized by SCOTUS, it would effectively turn the presidency into a potential absolute monarchy.

No, if the left get their way then it would turn the presidency into a useless mockery, like I said, the groundwork would be set that any party can target their opposition rival President for whatever reason, both sides can play that game. If the Dems were smart (lol) they would try and do this the old fashioned way, they would just let the people decide instead trying to take away half of the country’s chosen Presidential candidate.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Amen.

To each his own, I think if you feel you need to take it, go for it, my problem is when people try to force me to take it.

I’m just glad I never took the juice. Always go by and follow your instincts

Get ready for strike three...and he's out...of weak, pathetic excuses...

He doesn’t need to, the Dems are doing the work for the GOP going forward.

Even if he wins here, which he won't,

Harry Reid thought that as well…meanwhile 3 conservative justices later.

he's still going to jail for violating a subpoena, lying in writing to the FBI, and destroying evidence...

Not going to happen.

And he'll go broke defaming E Jean Carroll, then paying our millions, then defame her again, and pay out more millions, etc., etc...

She won’t get a dime, crumbs perhaps.

"Bing, Bam, Boom"....

Hall&Oats

"Absolute" as in on Jan 6th, Pence comes back to the White House after refusing to indorse the fake slates of electors, and Trump tells his aides to bring out the noose, then proceeds to "hang Mike Pence" in the Oval Office....

Who?

Never liked the woman.

Quite obvious why. The era of bipartisanship is dead.

That goes for both sides.

They can try but they will be laughed out of court and owe the legal fees. Also those were official duties. 

No, not when they have the DOD, the Presidency, and the Senate, and will find a more leaning conservative court. Again, it takes two to Tango.

You're not going to have sixty votes in the Senate ever.

Because you say so? Lol

Yes, the ol' Russian logic of, "you stole something, so now we are unleashed to rape/pillage/murder!!!". Better hope Thomas stays healthy the whole year and potentially the whole next Biden term.

The same if Trump wins, see some retirements coming on the left as well.

Saying presidents cannot do whatever they heck they feel like is not a radical proposition.

This President and his admin. seem to think so.

I wonder what the issue is with legendary Carol Kaye. She should have been in as a contributor long ago. She's 89 now and not much longer for this world I'm afraid. She deserves so much more than a posthumous induction.

The woman is a gem, innovator, class act, and just a solid bass player who played on hundreds of albums way before greats like Larry Graham, Jaco Pastorius, and Stanley Clarke came onto the scene. I never paid any attention to these political one-sided boasting shows, I go to the NAMM show every year and to any real musician or even bass player, we all know who Carol Kaye is and what an impact she had on music as a writer and artist, that is what matters most the people that care and know her in the industry, the politics and presenter or judges are living in a very different reality

The President only gains immunity for doing things specific to his position as President, not anything else. Last time I checked, inciting a riot isn't in the list of Presidential responsibilities any more than causing a traffic accident or jaywalking is. Any President that does those things needs to be held accountable - in office or after he loses the office.

This isn't hard.

Then that means, any President going forward can bring Obama on charges for killing some kids in an Afghan village, and droning an American citizen and Bush can be indicted for Iraq and Clinton for his marital indiscretions and illegal bombing of Kosovo, that is where this is going, but if the Dems want to go by that standard is fine by me, the one silver lining in all of this is that liberals will not always be in power or have majorities always, that is a fact. The Dems did the same exact thing when they got rid of the filibuster in the Senate and that bit them big time in the a** because it helped Trump and Mitch appoint 3 conservative justices to the bench, which helped the GOP and will for some time, now the Dems never, ever learn, but if they want to go down that same road again, good luck. Like they say, be careful about what you wish for.

Belarus has little to send,

Enough though as well as China has a lot.

and Ukraine already is weathering the mighty Iran.

And still losing.

That doesn't mean that because China doesn't want to be seen it is not helping Russia in some fashion. Don't be gullible.

Doesn't need to. You said stopped and his fascist campaign being stopped in place is enough to humiliate him.

How so?

Making declarative statements based on Faux News is not winning you arguments. Ukraine is exporting more and more grain through the now liberated Black Sea.

Not just Fox News, but take your pick.

You don't care about Europe, though, and that is Europe's problem right?

But you're taxing my money, I don't care, but I do care about my money.

And they won't be displaced if the battle lines are stopped. There will be more ability for Ukrainians to stay home if the country remains free.

Veeerry big "if"

Liberals literally pay for your flyover states.

A lot of minorities need help, this is very true...

You have yet to explain how Russia will destroy Ukraine now when they have been trying to do so for two years. Time for me to sigh.

How much is Russia's infrastructure has been destroyed and how much Of Ukraine's has been destroyed? Yes?

Fund Ukraine. Make every step westward send more fascists to their beds.

China, Iran, and Balarus will send more aid to Russia to send more Ukrainians to bed as well.

Battle lines being stopped is clearly Putin being stopped. QED.

He did? Did he withdraw?

American weapons are significantly more reliable as we can see by Russia faceplanting all of the time and failing to make any gains. And American weapons will be blowing up Russian bodies without the same thing happening to Americans. And then we have peace because the bear will have no teeth or claws anymore.

Ukraine is Pretty much destroyed as a nation, it will take a generation to rebuild everything, so more American weapons and less refuge for Ukrainians would be a lot of displaced people.

No lottery necessary: the most recent Ukraine bill is 1% of GDP and the US still has reserve currency borrowing power.

I know for liberals that doesn't mean anything because it's not their money so what would they care?

https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/president/general/2024/trump-vs-biden

How so? With nukes? The US will open up some gaps in the frontline if Russia tries that level of war criming.

Yeah, as usual, liberals are just not thinking deeply at all....sigh...

By supplying Ukraine with arms. Not sure you're thinking this through...

They will still lose, so I am not getting your point.
