I don't know about this presidential election thing. Biden is not on a spectrum let alone with any program or policy.
Trump is oblivious to everything except how things look for him so not much will change. He and his partner Netanyahu, for personal gain, will try to exploit the gas fields in Gaza. It won't work. BRICS and multi polarity will grow, the American hegemony will decline with or without him. It may be more rapid a decline without him.
Our dollar will devalue. We will continue to overthrow governments around the world to suit our liking of the moment with the latest being Pakistan and Imran Khan. He was removed from office and is jailed for 14 years because the American plan to remove him (he wanted relationships with China and Russia HIS NEIGHBORS) was leaked by some American undersecretary. Imran Khan was removed from office, "tried" and sentenced for espionage when he showed his countrymen the actual leaked document written by the US State Dept. So convoluted.
The entire world is still going to be sick of us and I don't see how President Trump version 2 is going to change any of that, If we don't go away quietly and lick our wounds, take notes and learn lessons and recharge ourselves, they will do it for us. Oh and lets not forget we are broke. We owe what we take in.
And then you have Robert Kennedy, Jr. a disappointment if I ever saw one because the status quo with the exception of Ukraine and maybe the border will remain the same. His Grandfather was Joseph P Kennedy, so I don't know why I'm surprised. Don't know who he is, or what he did? Look him up.
Ukraine is over but no one in Washington wants to admit it and face the wrath of the people well, not everyone I guess. Victoria Nuland the Under Secretary of Defense knows how to overthrow governments (Ukraine in 2014) but little else. She was in Turkey last week and I'm sure was shown the door because regardless of how pragmatic Erdogan is, his people are extremely angry with what Israel is doing to the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank and will not tolerate him if he does anything the US wants. Nuland is known for overthrowing governments with the help of the CIA so, it wasn't a surprise she left Turkey for Ukraine again. Zelensky is on his way out.
And now, we "retaliate" by bombing sheds in Iraq and Syria for the attack on the base in Jordan that resulted in the deaths of three soldiers. WHY we did not remove those unnecessary and illegal bases in the first place is a testimony of the lack of intelligence in Washington. Outside of the EU and Israel, we are hated and taking the stance we did regarding genocide and the UNRWA and continuing to block aid to GAZA including food and water and medicine and ANESTHESIA during the genocidal bombings, we bomb the Houthi's instead for thwarting us and who wound up kicking our ass.
No one running for President (actually one really can't he's finished) is addressing any of this. And then there's the Great State of Texas taking on the federal government over the open border. Thank God 25 other states joined them. Not a peep from anyone in Washington though or on the campaign trail. Cowards.
I love my country. I love how vast we are and how different and the same we are. I'm very grateful that I was able to pop out a thumb and travel this great country and meet so many people who may have been the color of the rainbow but when looking in the mirror was the same as me. It helped to form my thoughts, my heart and my soul.
However, we're being ruined by the UnaParty, the lobbyists, unregulated foreign entities operating in Washington (AIPAC), the fact that the American people are nothing but pawns and ATMs to Washington, must end. No foreign entity will be allowed to control the American government like today ever again, The way we elect, reward, assign our politicians must change immediately. No more PACs, we should elect our Senators the way we used to by LOCAL appointment and lobbyists and lobby groups should make their case for swaying a vote not by paying a fee to a PAC for an audience with a Representative or Senator but by making the case in public view so the constituents have a say - this is a REPUBLIC isn't it?
It's going to be a long process to turn our ship around and a lot of hard work. May I suggest reading the Federalist Papers as a start?
OurCountryOurChoice.com is another tool as well. They're both a way to start and maybe have camaraderie.
Personally I'm working on legislation for my State regarding term limits for representation in Washington by Congress and the Senate. Any suggestions would be appreciated. We have to do just like Gov. Abbot is doing at the border - we have to make those crucial steps in our STATES because Washington won't change unless WE change it.
See you in Texas at the border when it's time. God Bless You All. Lisa DuRant Rogers I miss you Texas Girl...I will be there with you in mind.
