Joe Biden says some funny things, but he doesn’t get the laughs that Donald Trump does.
That, says Joe Biden, is part of the reason we need change in the White House:
The world is laughing at President Trump. They see him for what he really is: dangerously incompetent and incapable of world leadership.
We cannot give him four more years as commander in chief. pic.twitter.com/IR8K2k54YQ

The world sees Trump for what he is: insincere, ill-informed, corrupt, dangerously incompetent, and incapabale in my view of world leadership.
If we give Donald Trump four more years, we’ll have a great deal of difficulty of ever being able to recover America’s standing in the world and our capacity to bring nation’s together [Joe Biden, online campaign ad, tweeted 2019.12.04].
He especially cheats at golf and lies about it. And he lies. And he says the dumbest things. And he lies.
Laughing so hard we cry.
So tired of “winning.”
The people who maintain that twitterpate45 speaks for them are so alien to me in their assessment of what they think he says “for them” that I can not communicate with them.
I understand alienation from systematic injustice, from unfair distribution of assets (as in CEO remuneration vs worker remuneration), from whatever it is that makes buying a house where you can get a high-paying job so expensive as to suggest you should get a lower-paying job where you can afford to live, and a few other egregious mis-distributions of public and private money.
I do not understand people’s affection for a man who has done nothing to alleviate these injustices, legal and moral, and in fact has done quite a good job of increasing every burden the working person bears.
I do not see an improvement in the life of anyone in the USA who makes less than about $250 grand a year, and I do see a a general decrease in the the quality of life for anyone makes less than that, the more less, the more decrease.
IMHO, This is why we have Trump. Long but informative read.

Perhaps the evangelical tribe believes that Trump is worth worshipping for some reason, although the search for that reason might lead one down a path of cynical conclusions. However, Trump thinks he’s worth being worshipped, and has tailored his approach to his most outrageously enthusiastic supporters, who seem willing to interpret his every move as having been ordained by god.
He brings shame and humiliation to the USA every day. I’m with you CIRD. I don’t understand why he devotees are willing to have their nation debased and their lives made more precarious. I do understand about the wealthy and the sociopaths masquerading as Christian leaders.
An open letter to all of you privately disgusted Republicans

This is an open letter to all of you privately disgusted Republicans.
It’s prompted by the fact that in the last few days, two of your colleagues have come forward to share with us your angst.
One was actually an ex-colleague, former GOP Rep. Charlie Dent. He told CNN that you continue to support Donald Trump because pressure from the base — the almighty base — forces you to. “But there’s no question,” he added, “having spoken to many of them privately, they’re absolutely disgusted and exhausted by the president’s behavior.”
Democratic Rep. Gregory Meeks seconded that emotion. “If you talk to my Republican colleagues off the record, they’re all very concerned,” he said, also on CNN.
SNIP
The rest of the world can think what it wants. And all of you have cried for three years and here’s what we have…

THIS IS WHAT MATTERS.
No Steve. What matters is dignity and justice.
Obviously, your moral compass and those of the republicans only points to $.
While it is true that Dumb Dotard is an international joke, he is also doing significant damage. In an article in Foreign Affairs, Fareed Zakaria writes about the real danger of the cold war with China he seems to be pushing toward.
“The United States risks squandering the hard-won gains from four decades of engagement with China, encouraging Beijing to adopt confrontational policies of its own, and leading the world’s two largest economies into a treacherous conflict of unknown scale and scope that will inevitably cause decades of instability and insecurity. A cold war with China is likely to be much longer and more costly than the one with the Soviet Union, with an uncertain outcome”
