Speaking of Hillary ... isn't it odd that someone who won the 2016 presidential race (by popular vote) is now so far in the background that no one even hears from her anymore

Odd it is that everybody was complaining for years about HC trying to push herself into the foreground, and now that she does not anymore, you are complaining again.

When I get information about US-politics I get it mostly from three different places.
1. Here at subsim-general topics 2. In the Danish, Swedish and sometimes German news 3. Facebook. I take mostly notice what people say or write in the first 2. Number 3 FB, is mostly lot of crab. Some years ago, when the first crisis between USA and North Korea I got totally ridiculed after I posted a 4 word comment to another comment in an article. The article was about the crisis between these two countries. A user wrote something like ....It's more Trump I don't trust...fear he may press the red button. then another user wrote a comment to his comment: Yes he has the psychological profile to do just so. Then I as second person wrote - and nothing will happen. I shouldn't have done this...written these words I got totally ridiculed. I do not claim to be an expert...but i refuse to believe a single person, in this case a President can single handed order a full nuclear attack.. A few hours later i deleted my 4 words comment and some days later i remembered what Platapus once wrote in an answer to me. The only power a President have is the right to say "Make it so" Back to discussing US-politics |

Amy Coney Barrett confirmed to US Supreme Court
Quote:
An expected outcome. However, one might think that Susan Collins would not give in, but cast her vote for Amy, but she is a liberal, perhaps even a pull to the left.

Superb analysis of the political culture status in the US, and an outlook into the future of it. I know the author, i have three of this books on my shelves, and I know very well why I hold him in so high esteem.
Most likely no civil war, I agree. Most likely a lasting split, division in society, I agree as well. I am saying the same sinc elong, but Taghizadegan can line up up the arguuments much better and more elegantly than I can. http://translate.google.com/translat...ergerkriegs%2F

This is disturbing. At one time not that long ago the Left wing investigative media were very much interested in uncovering corruption by politicians and wrong doing by government agencies. But times have changed. The left wing media is now biased and only cares about corruption if it involves Republicans and especially President Trump. They have lost their way.

I dont care for Biden and I think he will not do much, he is too old and senile. But his win prevents Trump, and that is the objective that must be acchieved. Trump is by far the biggest destruction factor in the American political landscape. The desaster he has spelled already now will outlive his term, and unfortunately probably forever. America will never recover from him and come back to former fame and status. The damage done is too big. Read the essay by Taghizadegan I oinked above.
I dont ask what Bidne will do. At best I ask what Harris will do. Again, one does not vote for Biden for the sake of Biden. One votes Biden to prevent the much worse alternative. Its the same logic by which many people voted Trump last time - not because he was so wonderful to them, but because they wanted to prevent Clinton. Personally, I think it all is damaged beyond repair. And China will likely launch hard action over Taiwan as long as Biden is in office.
