I thought Trump protected us from China forevermore....or was that all bullshit? You lauded the withdraw from Syria with similar bullshit going on. Now you're all panicked.....my goodness....

Trump is President? You do have an unhealthy obsession.

How is this comparable to Syria? It amazes me that people who hate Trump and criticize everything he did, now hold him as the standard for their guy. You voted for Biden to get rid of Trump, now every dumb ass thing he does is answered with, "but Trump."

Trump was a moron, I didn't vote for him, this has nothing to do with him, this is about Biden's stupidity. Biden is responsible for this. He's taking credit for every good thing Trump did (the vaccine) and blaming him for all his fuck ups. Not holding him to account makes his followers worse than Trumpers. Show some spine.

Desantis is the new Hitler. It'll be hilarious if they invest everything in making him the focus and he doesn't even get the nomination. If Biden doesn't run (totally possible) I wonder how the Democratic field shapes out. No way someone doesn't challenge Harris.

A couple of things... This Afghan pullout is a disaster. I don't know if Trump would have been any different, but not even making preparations to get allies out, people who will executed, is unfathomable. Why didn't we get out the women and girls? Just ignoring the whole humanitarian angle, which I can't seem to, but depriving the Taliban of women is a smart tactical maneuver, making them sitting ducks when they have to start bringing women in for their "wives."

I'm glad we're leaving, but holy shit, what a disaster.

"The number of people who identify as white alone declined from 223.6 million in 2010 to 204.3 million in 2020, marking an 8.6% decline. It is the first time the category saw a drop in the nation’s history and was also the only race category to see a population decline.

Those who identify as white in combination with another race, however, increased by 316%, with the white alone or in combination with another group coming in at 235.4 million."

The census is no longer using majority/minority. It seems people are taking this as the end of white men, again, but seem to ignore the growth is with Hispanics who many identify as white (the census doesn't count that or biracial people who identify as white) and Asians. Interracial marriage is skyrocketing between white men and Hispanic women and white men and Asian women. White women are having fewer children. Guess the two groups of women who are having the most children? I don't understand the appeal of identity politics, it's never as clear as people make out. Whenever it's brought up in a debate that Hispanics identify as white, there's like a meltdown. One reporter called it depressing news. Why? isn't a diverse "white America" good? Nearly every article I've read neglects to add that context.
