And the sad truth is that even the propped up corpse of Joe Biden as POTUS couldn't possibly be as damaging to the USA's economy and reputation as another 4 years of Trump's presidency will.
I dunno, one thing Trump seems to have been good at is keeping America out of wars and tries to keep peaceful relations with other countries, hard to guess on what if scenarios if someone else was president.
 
Just think, 2,000 years from now some history teacher is going to be having an aneurysm explaining how the world almost ended because someone ate and undercooked bat.
ALL of history is insane, inexplicable and fascinating. It only seems normal because we've had time to get used to it.

Anyway, we all know this was caused by Randy Marsh inseminating a pangolin.

Biden will at least delegate responsibility to normal, qualified people, as opposed to a coterie of family members and sycophants.

...what's the guarantee that Biden doesn't delegate his work to sycophants? And what does it matter if he delegates his work to people who will do wrong as per the interests of roughly half (or even more of) the country? Yeah, great, they're "normal", but when did respect for a politician become the norm?

That's nothing - the long and bloody Thirty Years War occurred because some dudes got pushed out a window (and survived a 70 foot drop).

There was actually a war once over a bucket.

I see more comments saying how people are reacting badly to trump being made fun of than people actually reacting badly in this thread
I'm not actually seeing people "scandalized and offended" about people preemptively dancing on Trump's grave. It's more about pointing and mocking people that were "scandalized and offended" when people crab raved RBG. You're right that you can't have it both ways, but you're not seeing the actual situation and who is trying to have it both ways.

I'm guessing this is just a general internet behavior where people imagine others that they don't like are having some extreme emotional response to something. Then when one or two people do actually respond that way they use that to reinforce the idea that all the other people must be feeling the same way, are lying, or just don't exist. In real life you're only exposed to a limited amount of people so you would probably have to go through a few regular people to find those with extreme reactions. Online they are easy to spot and everything else is just noise. I suspect most of it is done knowingly as a troll attempt.

I distinctly recall seeing this behavior on this site when DSP won his bankruptcy. Lots of drive by "LOL look at all the angry people" comments when most people were begrudgingly accepting it despite it not being the outcome they expected or desired. That or doing a "this is how Bernie can still win" but not being mad about it. Could also be the ones actually mad tend to not let it go and keep mad posting giving the impression it's more people than it is.

You must've missed Iran, the tension with North Korea and the involvement in Syria, as well as the souring of relations with Germany, France (most of the EU) and China. He did compliment and verbally support Erdogan, so I guess that was pretty peaceful - the president of turkey, who immediately started driving out the kurdish people that supported the US against the islamic state and held IS soldiers prisoner, once the US pulled out of that area (which is odd to this day. It was a very low cost, low risk operation and kept a decently sized area that housed many extremist prisoners safe. Quite a few escaped in massive prison breaks because the kurdish troops that were not briefed well ahead of time didn't have the manpower to hold them - and there was no warning so that other countries could step in to secure it instead of the US, because I can totally see how that should've been Europe's responsibility as well. So now that territory is once again unsafe and has a stronger IS influence. Then again, quite a large part of the turkish militia force isn't all that different from the average IS fighter)
 
Trump should have taken the reins early in this shitshow. If he would've just addressed the nation and said "I know it sucks, but everybody must commit to wearing masks and being disciplined in your daily activities and let's get the fuckin' nation back on track." Instead he listened to a few prominent voices in his base and played it mostly ambivalent. Now every hater can point at him and laugh about a month before a pivotal election.

No, because even the media in the very beginning of the year downplayed COVID-19, Fauci made some quotes about hoarding masks not necessary, etc.

You damn well know that no matter what Trump would do the media would burn him alive for it, already you have people claiming "he killed the economy lol" and "he did NOTHING to stop the coof" in one screed.

It's the same thing I saw in the RBG thread. A bunch of concern trolls came in claiming people were celebrating her death and grave dancing when it was only a small number of people doing that, and they typically weren't liked by ANYONE posting in thread. Most of the thread was posting histrionic reactions from the left who thought RBG dying meant Roe v Wade would be instantly repealed and crying that the President's duty to replace a Justice is null and void if it's arbitrarily close to election season.

Edit: Hell, if anyone has meltdowns like the one's that happened for RBG, I'd be curious to see them, interested if they're real, and amused if they're funny.
