Geezzze I wish that was so a lot more interesting than my pass / current life.

Actually just some one I hope that has a social conscience, see all treated with respect and likes everyone to get a fair go.

The social conscience bit kills off not all but most conservatives unfortunately and the fair go apparently only applies to those with wealth and connections.

I don't think that is fair, and probably opening up a multi page debate on that subject.

You didn't watch My Three Sons as a kid I assume? Fred MacMurray's blood was pure Republican, yet he promoted all the stuff we consider woke now as gospel then via that show.

There's nothing wrong with equality and everyone having rights. It's when it blends into identity politics that it becomes a problem.

Democrats have labelled everyone into colour or sexual preferences into segregated groups. Which is in reality the opposite of what the 'don't tread on me' type Republicans would have sprouted.

You don’t get out often or pay attention to reality do you?

Equality as such sure, it seems quite unreasonable to think that anyone wouldn't want that.

Trouble is the second bit, classifying people according to colour and so on, is exactly what the notion of equality seeks to stamp out.

Much of the present "progressive" movement has become the very thing progressives fought so strongly against less than one generation ago. Racist and sexist. :2twocents

So in Biden's speech, he says that is is going to fix the economy, by bringing back manufacturing to the U.S.
Funnily enough that is what Trump was bagged for, it certainly is a weird world.

It's also what pretty much every blue collar worker, engineer and other person who works with or around physical things has been saying for the past 40 years.

Being dependent on others comes with a huge and obvious risk. Always has and always will, that's the nature of it. For some situations that's arguably manageable but depending on Russia has long been a very obvious danger. :2twocents
 
I noticed the over exuberance during the speech, Biden didn't have to say anything and they were jumping out of their seats with enthusiasm, but I have worked for the yanks and they are a bit like that.
 
Sounds as though Biden is blinking, when it comes to blocking Russian oil imports to the U.S, if it was Trump the screaming would be deafening IMO.
Obviously it isnt about what you do, but who does it.

Yeah, where's the media calling it a "Russian collusion" because Biden is obviously in the poket:rolleyes:

In all seriousness he probably is in their pocket. As God only knows what Hunter was up to in both China and Ukraine. But shhhh that's just whispers and laptop pr0n.

No , I never watched a Trump rally, actually it is only the heated debates that ASF members have, that gave rise to me watching Biden's speech.

I personally didn't like Trump, he actually personified the loud self opinionated yank, that rub most Aussies up the wrong way.

But I did think his outspoken criticism of the China trade imbalance, the lambasting of the EU, for expecting the U.S to be their sheriff, when they spent minimal amounts on defence and the desire to tighten U.S border security were all sensible objectives.
Since Trump has gone, most of those issues have been proven to have had merit IMO.
I guess we will see how Biden deals with it, like I posted earlier, apparently there seems to be some issues with his sanctions on Russia with oil supplies, time will tell how he deals with it.
I just would like to see all leaders critiqued by the same measures, that doesn't seem to happen IMO.
