Of course, I haven't walked your foot-steps but I don't get any weird feelings when I see him. He's a bit old, but so is Trump. But I don't think that matters as much as what gets done and I'm pretty happy with what Biden has done so far. Surprisingly to be honest, I really wasn't expecting much other than a stop to Trump.
So are you going to screw this all up for me by telling me a horrible story about Biden? ;)

Nah.. I'm not going to try to change your mind.. Although, I hope you are enjoying the $4+ dollars a gallon for regular unleaded, and probably .20 or so cents more for Diesel..(Here in my neck of the woods.. regular unleaded is still $4.33 a gallon). I hope you're enjoying the higher heating bills.. I hope you are enjoying all the high priced groceries.. other than that.. Folks that v**ed for Biden to open our borders.. letting in a drug that is k*****g via OD or accidental contact..hundreds of thousands of kids and young adults..Even a cop, even while wearing gloves almost died behind an accidental contact.. namely breathing in the dust.. (which to me seems silly, maybe the cop should have been wearing an N95 Mask.. Oh WAIT.. those don't do S**t! They don't Block much.. But hey, that's what I get for reading about medical research from OTHER countries.. that have completely debunked king faux chi.. Israel, Sweden, Germany.. etc et al.. I don't read much about good studies here in the U.S, mostly because they were Censored!! Because NO One was to challenge that Lil weasle P.O.S. Faux Chi!!..
All because of Biden's open door policy on immigration.. I get that immigrants Long ago, didn't have this issue.. however, we are a bigger country and more people in it.. I have ZERO issue with LEGAL immigration.. I have a HUGE issue with them coming in through the back door for all intents..Also, was very happy with the Judge that just spanked Biden again, regarding the "remain in Mexico" policy.. it stays in place.. NOT to be confused with "Title 42" which was in regards to holding folks tryin to get in here, Because of the P*******c! It's All comin out now, via these twitter files.. and frankly, I feel a bit vindicated, because most conservatives were indeed being banned, shadow banned or flat out black listed, and because the legacy media is just as complicit as the FBI.. you probably won't hear about any of it.. because the legacy media is again downplaying the magnitude of this information.. and it is Damning information!..
I have a Huge issue with politicians of any stripe living in a gated community or having a fence/wall around their homes, but they are against a wall along our borders.. what makes any of them worth any more than the People that PAY them!!!
I'm pretty sure the families of those that fought to free s***es wouldn't look at a "r********n" as a reward.. I had family on both sides of that nasty ass war.. it sucked, and families and farms lost the most able among them to work their farms so I'm pretty sure the decedents of said soldiers wouldn't see losing for all intents back then, Income, Because they were down a man or two.. Pretty sure they wouldn't have seen any kind of payment a reward!
I'm not a war monger, but I do believe in peace through strength.. we don't have that anymore.. trying to make the military "Woke" is t total bulls**t, OUR Military isn't supposed to be about politics..Also, Recruitment is down with ALL branches of the military! Either because they dont' wanna be Woke.. or they don't want a mandated jab, for a drug that hadn't had NEAR enough Human clinical trials!!
Those that took the v*****e are guinea pigs!! Every one of them, including my family!... All of my family has been jabbed twice and boosted twice, and they have all gotten c***d twice.. myself on the other hand.. Not been v******ted.. been tested negative every time.. and in almost 3 years NO c***d!.. I'm NOT anti vax..I've had my flu shot, pneumonia shot, whooping cough and tetanus, I'm just anti THIS Vax! I know sounds silly, I get it.. because when the rubber hits the road our soldiers in our military are merely cannon fodder for the i***ts running the chess board!.. In fact.. This is an opinion, doesn't need to be fact checked.. ALL wars down through history were either about Land/Territory and/or Religion!..
I tried to get into the military back in 1981.. I got as far as the physical.. I took the ASVAB (armed services vocational aptitude battery) passed that, excelled in coding and clerical.. but got to the physical, and I am 4 F.. because I was born w/out a thyroid gland.. so i was not deployable.. one of the things that always pissed me off about our military.. I could have been placed somewhere stateside even.. but they tend to waste folks.. and they care about what you have goin in, but they don't seem to care Fk all if your missing parts comin out.. Just because a person isn't deployable doesn't mean they cant be of use in our military... in fact just because a person has a physical disability doesn't mean their brains are impaired.. lol.. Hell I'd of already been retired 20 years ago.. and that's if I did 20 years in the military..
I realize there are a LOT of folks out there that don't want to admit that even though the African continent was for all intents occupied by the British.. The Dutch.. I'm sure there were other nationalities in the mix, But the majority of them were sold by their own people, Or as you say, captured and made s***es!
There was another type of s***ery.. it was called indentureship, a form of voluntary s***ery, that folks did that wanted to come to this new land.. that was a helluva way to go.. they had a sponsor, they were supplied with one change of clothes.. shoes.. roof and food in exchange for work.. any medical needs were tacked on to the indenture ship.. if you had kids, and you died..your kids pick up the rest of the indenture contract.. so it was only slightly better than out right s***ery.. The Chinese were for all intents s***es as well, as they built our rail roads.. not great conditions for them either.. but oddly, you don't hear much about them... again, the irish even the scots.. funny how those two "nationalities" went into either Fire depts or police depts.. my pop was a fireman.. and scot.

Just for giggles, I took the test and passed with flying colors.. If I was an immigrant that wanted citizenship in the U.S. Nailed it!!
