Under Trump's watch China, Russia, N. Korea and Iran all ramped up their military arsenals at a record pace and started being aggressive to their neighbors...the US, NATO and the Pacific Rim alliance have to counter threats by these countries on several fronts....our military needed an upgrade considering the threats we now have from the new "Cold War" adversaries. Not only in the oceans but on land and in space....those dictators are not afraid to use chemical weapons or nukes so what Joe has done with the military budget had to be done. Tough choices but under the last administration those countries saw Trump's weakness and used it to position themselves as allies....before Trump we had capped Iran's weapons program....Trump undid that to piss off Obama. A dumb fucking Trump move in a long line of dumb fucking Trump moves...like wanting to defund NATO and stop contributing to allied defenses. Joe has repaired our relationships with the global community that Trump had trashed as shithole countries.
 
^^^Yup,

Biden's military budget is only 3% more than it was last year, but I don't recall anyone complaining about it last year...and besides, 5% of the budget is for a pay raise for our troops.

But yeah, let's just sit back and let Putin and Xi have their way.

Of course you're right. I'd just love to see much more of a push toward expanding nuclear if nothing else. But that's risky politically.
 
Biden Denounced for 'Appalling' Approval of Willow Oil Project

"There is simply no justification for President Biden's decision to approve a massive new oil drilling scheme that will lead to decades of air and climate pollution," said one critic.

Biden says he cares about our climate, yet doesn't show that he does, at all.

Given the cold war threat from all around the globe....understand our military is not fueled by solar panels.....nor will be converted to EV in time to counter Russian, North Korean, Chinese or Iranian aggression....today we have to accept those parameters...and it's sad it's come to that but it has. Russia won't be providing us oil anytime soon. It's also political....no doubt...Alaskans love oil money.
 
Joe will give the eulogy for President Carter. Former presidents are usually invited when another dies. Will Trump be there?

Considering that Trump has already been excluded/barred from some previous ceremonies, I would doubt it.
 
‘Lesser Evil’ Biden Wants More Border Patrol Than MAGA Republicans

Over the weekend, Biden bragged about his support for even more resources than “MAGA Republicans” to “secure the border” on Twitter.

This is “lesser evilism” in action.

https://popularresistance.org/lesser-evil-biden-wants-more-border-patrol-than-maga-republicans/

President Biden recently tweeted in support of “even more resources to secure the border,” contrasting himself with “MAGA House Republicans” who are proposing to “slash funding for border security.” He’s positioning himself to the right of the more explicitly xenophobic and far-right “MAGA” branch of the Republican Party and their fear-mongering about fentanyl.

The Biden administration’s record shows that this statement doesn’t come out of nowhere — it’s implemented anti-immigration and violent border policies the whole time after cynically campaigning for humane immigration policies in the 2020 election. While in the 2020 elections, Biden was forced to give lip service to immigrants’ rights due to mass mobilizations against Trump’s draconian immigration policies, now Biden is showing his true xenophobic colors.

This comes after a recent agreement with Justin Trudeau that makes it easier for the U.S. and Canada to turn away asylum seekers. Furthermore, Biden has been deporting Russians who are escaping Putin’s draft seeking asylum and only a few months ago announced severe restrictions on asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border. The increasing emphasis on militarization of the borders comes in the context of the global refugee crisis, largely fueled by imperialist intervention, the climate crisis, and environmental extraction.

America causes the problems in these migrants countries that bring them to our borders, then refuse to allow them to seek asylum. Clearly showing racism in their border policies in every move that they make, Biden, Trump, whomever is in office. Doesn't matter.
 
I was hoping he wouldn't run. I think many in the party would prefer he retire and enjoy, as he isn't as sharpe as he used to be. I guess if he's just a figure head and influenced more by those around him, he can go through the motions.
 
If the choice is Biden vs Mango Mussolini or DeSantos, I'll take Biden.

But Biden running again is just another way for the DNC to fuck something up because they're clueless towards what the party wants.

Tho, the GOP is still worse, as they know what their party wants, but have no idea what the country wants.

agree, if the Party would convey to Joe (which they probably have) that he should retire, so that a younger more candidate could run.
If the American people are presented with two older/declining what a shame.

Can he spell sharp?
 
Biden was not my first choice as the nominee in 2020 but I could not abide another 4 years of Trump's BS...but all things considered, between COVID, the economy, Ukraine, China, etc., I think Biden has done a decent job thus far.

Yeah, he's old (80) but we knew that back in 2020 and ...and if Trump runs and somehow wins, by the end of his term he'd be 82 which is 2 years older than Biden is now.



Sure, age may be an issue to some, but it should not be the only issue.
 
His staff say he runs them ragged. They have to hustle to keep up with him.

Trump is nearly as old and in terrible shape.

Rupert Murdoch is over 90.

Unless you are a politician, business owner, preacher, most individuals are retired, or asked to retire by the when you by the time you are in late 80's or younger. Most that aren't, are either, power or money hungry...imo
