I’m sure 4 years of republicans calling those same countries “shit holes” has nothing to do with it.

This whole article comes off as incredibly disingenuous and pure uninformed ~~opinion~~ BS.

It entirely omits 4 years of trump/bannon burning down the state department and driving out career workers there. It ignores 4 years of trump siding with putin and attacking NATO members, weakening those relationships.

It ignores 8 years of bush/cheney burning down the Middle East and showing the world how unreliable the US can be on the world stage. It ignores the gop lying their way into invading Iraq and it ignores how bush ignored the mission and how trump sold out our presence in Afghanistan, both for personal gain.

The article does say in one sentence: “the White House has worked tirelessly to bolster its existing alliances, while trying to establish new ones wherever possible.”

But then turns around and writes a whole article saying basically that despite these counties having a favorable view when Biden was VP, clearly as Pres, he has ruined everything and his support for our allies must be wrong!

The abuse comes from this comment.

You don’t recognize democracy and like to abuse people as a result.

Yea basically you don’t accept “states rights” blindly unless you’re willing to overlook “other things” and accept them in the back of your mind.

What you look past is more telling than what you say.

India doesn’t have the Robert’s court.

The FDA means nothing. Agencies are pointless now. The whole thing is a joke.

No, it’s because you structure your points into dog shit. Narrative aside…. Your argument is terribly weak and everyone is far too busy to donate their free time as a pittance to you getting a clue.

Like I can see the wheels of justice turning slowly…

…but why can’t justice observe its own ethics a little bit faster than that?

So again it’s now a matter of “what is allowed” vs “what is ethical or moral”…

We all joke about the high road of democratic vs gop approaches. But how much does the difference matter?

The hard part is we all get it, Biden is now technically allowed to do whatever. Is that a reason to immediately do the worst possible thing?

Should he now cast aside the law and commit hate crimes purely to prove a point?

The courts will never allow such a performative action, but they’ll allow the creep of fascism.

It’s not the surprise. It’s the soul crushing, unavoidable inconvenience of never having any say as ads get forced, new unwanted features get added, more AI bullshit injected, more updates now, no matter what you have going on… for all time.

It’s the fact that there is no choice for users but to just accept that Microsoft is forcing them to turn the computer they had last year into a totally different computer this year.
