"You can lead a person to knowledge, but you can't make them think? If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
The information is out there; you just have to let it in."
To my mind this is the best post in this entire sorry thread....
Just let him do what his sad ego driven mentality needs to do....ignore him, and in 60 days or so he'll be an afterthought.
All the hate and vitriol says more about the haters than Trump. I feel sad for the individuals that feel that way and for our democracy and society in general that they would so willingly fall into the social media hate trap...
The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.
Where in that post you quoted do I worship Biden? I even admitted he can't stop what is going on right now in the US.
I did say earlier Biden seems to be a decent and kind person, so does that mean for you straight away worship?
I know a lot of kind decent people, those are the ones I choose to communicate with but I worship nobody.
As for differences in America you might as well start with the time when white people imported black people from Africa as slaves.
I personally think all this left right classification is hogwash.
**There should be a path where a leader can try to look after the poor just as much as the rich.
A leader who tells the truth and is strong enough to admit their own faults and adapt quickly to them.
A leader who cares about ALL the people of their country and not just about their TV ratings, twitter feeds and golf buddies.
A leader who does not need to bath in their fandom**
I don't know if Biden is such a leader but Trump has certainly shown to me in the last 4 years that he is absolutely not.
I get that from his live interviews, actions and unfortunately his twits but not from other people's opinions.
I also think you are very wrong that we in Australia are going down the same path.
The divisions you are talking about are tiny minorities blown up big by the media.
There is no 50 : 50 Scomo hate : Scomo worship ratio.
You would be hard pressed to find anybody here who hates Scomo because he generally falls in the category I described above between the ** ** .
He just proved it again by sorting out the mistakes made with the wrongly calculated RoboDebt.
Under a leader like him the 'left' and the 'right' can coexist and the extremists will always stay small minorities.

Getting the POTUS job, is really a job for life (and it doesn't matter which side of politics you're on, or if you retain the oval office or not);
Pretty sure I can see who loses the presidential elections in the US =)

Had Kodi on flicking thru the documentaries, a program called Slaying the Dragon came up. Thought it was going to be about China.
Started watching and it turned out to be about Gerrymandering in the US. It turns out that if you are in power of a state, in this case Wisconsin you can redraw the electoral borders.
Both the Demos and Republicans have been doing this since year dot and are/were as bad as each other.
The program concentrated on the Republicans in Wisconsin who redrew the Electoral Borders to effectively stop the Democrats (who held the popular vote of 56 percent) from getting back into power for. as the show said a decade. They did this by grouping demographics that were likely to vote Democrat as large blocks and dividing the demographics who would Republican, ensuring they were the majority party. They interviewed the wiz kid (obviously a smart dude) who had proposed the idea aqnd it turned out that once implemented in Wisconsin they were going to implement in 5 other States
Unfortunately some one leaked/found the document and a Free Democracy partition was launched who went to Supreme Court to try and implement a independent body to over set boundaries, this was rejected but because of the furor and publicity 10 states signed up, Wisconsin backed down
So in my opinion, democracy in the USA under the present laws is not very good
The show is a eye opener and recommend watching to form your own opinion

I KNEW IT !
I had a bad feeling when Trump fired his military secretary so suddenly after it was clear he lost the election but abstained from posting my prediction due to ongoing hate against me when I have something critical to say about Trump.
Luckily he is still surrounded by sensible people but will he always listen in the next couple of months?
He IS the president and can still do what ever he wants.
Since he became president he tried to start a war with Iran twice, which was averted in the last minutes and I took it that advisors persuaded him a war might reduce his chance of re-election.
Now he has nothing to lose.
And a military strike on Iran would totally stuff up Biden's plan to re-enact a nuclear treaty with Iran.

"Philadelphia election officials did not improperly block Donald Trump’s campaign from observing the counting of mail-in ballots, the Pennsylvania supreme court ruled on Tuesday, a major blow to the president’s already flailing legal efforts. The decision is significant because one of the Trump campaign’s loudest claims since the election has been that they were improperly blocked from observing the counting of ballots in Philadelphia."
I'm waiting for Trump to tweet, saying "The Supreme Court is rigged!". LOL

They have done this for decades.
We US citizens really have little power at the polls. Here we have a candidate Biden, that has ~9% more popular vote and the system constrains it to one % point.
Australia, please invade us and run those crazy baldheads outta this town...

Yeah, taxpayers get hosed. Those ex pres get Secret Service protection until they die. No doubt Trump will rake in cash from renting rooms and golf carts to the Secret Service well into the next decade or two. And of course he will commute to Trump Tower etc, requiring a huge entourage.
