Must admit I thought Trump would destroy him in a debate because:
1) He had some good zingers against Hillary
2) Biden seems like he has dementia
But Trump really had nothing to say or offer in those debates.
Also I'm much more impressed with Biden now. Because anyone can chat nonesense before they're elected. But he's actually helped people in office.

It was really only the first debate that Biden "won". I think Trump underestimated him in that first one and thought he'd just let him steam roll him, and he didn't. The second debate Trump did better and was more prepared but no one remembers the second debate.
This had to have been an assassination attempt, or attempt at intimidation, right?

I'd not jump to conclusions, let the Secret Service investigate this. But you could be correct considering how unhinged the Rightist are.

White House Weighs How Forcefully to Support Protesters in China
The demonstrations over Covid lockdowns present a challenge for President Biden, who has insisted he will call out abuses by authoritarian governments.
This is why I can't even take all the soap boxing against "evil" whoevers seriously any more.
I mean, are you going to tell me you believe we're backing Ukraine out of the goodness of our heart? So what, the Chinese protestors just aren't big enough to warrant a stance?
And the excuses are such bs, so you can't back up a movement unless you know it can win? So if civil rights or women's suffrage never had the support, I guess **** them right?
You know what that's called is "opportunism". You only "support" someone if you can get something out of it.
Sorry Chinese protestors, we need cheap Chinese knicknacks for Walmart, and Apple needs its Tiktok deal.

You sound like a child. What do you even want him to do. What would you do? You can't see a difference between supporting a nation who has had it's borders invaded by an opposing army and a government stopping it's own protests? If you can't tell the difference, you aren't smart, and if you can, you're just antagonizing.

No, I can't see the difference, because there is no difference.
We support freedom from oppression, we support human life.
Either our first duty is to innocents, or it's not. Anything else is rationalization.
You need to remember our rules are all in service of an ideal. You can't say Russia murdering innocents is wrong because borders, but China locking up or murdering innocents is ok because infernal politics.
Principles first!

Absolutely we can. If you genuinely can't tell the difference between a nation invading a sovereign allied democracy and a nation punishing it's own citizens , you're an idiot. This is the dumbest post I think I've ever read on KMC.

I can try and explain my position, but you need to make an effort to understand it. Indeed all you want to do is criticize.
My position has been clear, but I'll try and break it down;
Many are passionately in support of Ukraine. Why is this?
Assumption; Because of spilled blood.
If this is correct, it shouldn't matter to you why an innocent person dies. If Putin tyrannically executed his own Russian citizens, that should matter to you.
If this is incorrect, than I have to ask why you care at all about some strangers dying, who you have never met.
For me, it's all about the spirit of a thing. The passion behind an argument, the emotion behind caring.
How can you claim to care about human life only if certain laws are broken, yet not give a shit if all the I's are dotted and T's are crossed? That to me raises red flags. It stinks of realpoltiks, which I despise. It's no different from rightists coldly looking the other way as civilians in foreign lands perish as "collateral damage" yet cry about abortion.
"Payrolls and wages blow past expectations, flying in the face of Fed rate hikes"
[list]
[*]Nonfarm payrolls increased 263,000 for the month while the unemployment rate was 3.7%, the Labor Department reported Friday.
[*]The payrolls number was well above the 200,000 estimate, while the unemployment rate was in line.
[*]Average hourly earnings jumped 0.6% for the month, double the estimate, and 5.1% annually versus the 4.6% expectation.[/list]
A POTUS with dementia did that 😂
House speaker calls Hunter Biden files a distraction that helps nobody. Says it's not a healthy decision by Musk. That is very specific wording.
And if this non-story means so little why the crackdowns on suppression. I mean we are talking about the same people who ransacked project Veritas over missing diary.
Looks like Elon Musk is betting that Joe Biden will announce that he's not running again in January. Which is the safer bet, tbh.
Otherwise Musk would have waited until mid 2023 to do this, similar with the Clinton "email dump" in 2016 that Russia did on behalf of Donald Trump, to discourage late voters from voting.
edit: 44billion seems a lot to pay for something so petty and likely useless.
