For all this rubbish about personalities, the administration has done an awful lot considering the mess they inherited in January 2021 with the failed response to Covid. The infrastructure bill has had a real impact on real people's lives and that will matter a lot to people when it comes to the...

How incredibly sad. Pathetic really. Desperate.

Sorry, didn't look like it had entered and re-posted - not a double post, user error.

Sadly, I think I share your pessimism! But you never know. I like to think that people generally do understand that the fearmongering is just that, and the extremism isn't particularly masked.

I've really enjoyed watching all the speeches by former president Obama over the weekend. He has an oratory skill that nobody else can match. There's an element of preaching to the choir a little bit, but that's what rallies are. He got a few viral moments which have been shown across the...

Tulsi Gabbard has absolutely lost her mind in the last year or so. Not sure what's happened there but she's gone totally off the deep end.

It's amazing what can happen when a group of competent people write legislation and elected officials actually consider its merits and vote accordingly, rather than just refusing to support anything suggested by the "other side". The bill clearly benefits the whole country and makes appropriate...

Good to see Transport Secretary Pete Buttigieg on with Colbert last night, talking about the work being done as a result of the Infrastructure Bill that the Biden administration passed. It's also good to note that he was able to go on, talk about the work being done and how it is helping the...

Out of interest, do any of our Trumpers think he actually did win the election?

You don't think the American Rescue Plan Act, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act or the CHIPS and Science act are achievements? Getting out of Afghanistan is an achievement, something that Trump spoke about and actually forced with his behaviour having lost the 2020 election, although...

The reality in the US seems that the majority of people want some kind of long running soap opera, which is what Trump offers. A government should not be played out in the media eye and it clearly should be something populated with adults who are working on the issues that actually matter. The...

If he was no longer an active and committed threat to democracy and just drifted off into the background like a two-time presidential election loser should have done, then he'd be irrelevant and/or in jail now. Instead, he's supporting a suite of thoroughly unqualified and dangerous candidates...

I posted facts about the Biden administration. That's all. I didn't talk about his career as a whole. Personally, I think it would be better for all political roles to have term limits - in the US and the rest of the world. I think career politicians are generally going to become self-serving...

You aren't worth the time of day. Your agenda is clear, your opinions are set in stone and your biases are painfully obvious.

Given the hand that young Joe has been dealt, he is doing a fantastic job of restoring the US to a more conventional footing. He's passed several pieces of major legislation, something the incompetence of Trump and his administration couldn't achieve. Biden's infrastructure bill will see...

Trump isn't a Republican and he doesn't represent their party. Trump is a cult, the people around him are opportunists. The Republican party was taken over and they'll need to rebuild themselves in the coming years. Hopefully the dregs like McConnell, Graham and Collins will lose their seats and...

As usual, the Trump people making a lot of noise to try and either distract or somehow legitimise the poor behaviour of their cult leader. Whatever this handful of nutters post on this forum, he'll lose in November and be THE reason for the Democrats taking all 3 branches of Government from...

I completely agree. Both should already be States and it should be a national embarrassment that they are not already. A Blue Wave in November to hand over control of all three branches of Government to the Democrats would right so many wrongs and hopefully make the party so strong they can do...

The irony of Trump people questioning Biden's mental acuity is intense. Person, woman, man, camera, tv.

Surely it's more about who gets to shape the future of the Supreme Court? Realistically there will be 1 if not 2 appointments in the next presidential term and it matters for decades who makes that decision. If it's a Trump Republican that's a disaster for the country. If it's Biden, it'll be a...
