Planning a raid on a house inhabited by a few people is hardly the mark of a military genius. McRaven is no MacArthur.
Does Biden serve the full 4 years?
- Thread starter redshank
- Start date
Jeri you need to brush up your knowledge of the military, or logistics. McArthur at Inchon was brilliant. Pushing to the Chinese border was not. Bataan was not. Pelielu was not. Island hopping in general was brilliant. Thus McArthur has good and bad, as most generals do.
Getting a force in and out of a potentially hostile country, making sure it was the right bloke, was brilliant. Good on McRaven. Jimmy Carter tried it in 1979 Iran and it was a disaster.
Better question - Will Biden be allowed to finish out the 1 quarter of 2021 before the Dems invoke Admenrment 25 and remove him from office for mental incompetence. That will make Nancy Vice President with the Oval Office in sight and with her family I wouldn't bet against success
I won't make Nancy VP. It would made Kamala President and she would nominate her own choice for VP. who has to be confirmed by a majority of both houses.
Teddy Roosevelt served one term without a VP.
Highly doubt this. I mean, Trump has been the most incompetent President since...well....I don't know. Jackson? And they didn't pull the plug on him. Can't see Biden having that happen unless he does suffer a medical issue.
Plus, Biden has said he would only run for one term. Harris could be re-elected, but she'll have to over come the inherent racism and misogyny of America.
Well, for this I think we agree, but for different reasons. First off, Biden is going to have to clean up the massive mess left behind from Trump. Like a typical Republican president, he caused the deficit to balloon to huge proportions, even before covid. Also, Trump is overseeing the biggest economic disruption in US history since the Great Depression. Once he's out of office, I think we'll see the true depths of his corruption. Try and think for a minute: can you name any Obama scandals? Or anyone in his administration who was charged or convicted with any crimes?
Of course you are entitled to your opinion but clearly US history is not your strong point.
Anyone else notice how leftist memes are consistently puerile and unfunny? Especially compared to their rightwing counterparts? Just saying.Very Sad Indeed:
A country that twice elected a Black man and one in which a female candidate won the popular vote.
Can Canada or European countries match that?
A great deal of us Canadians are both smug and full of shit
That female candidate that won the popular vote lost in the Electoral College to a someone who was a racist and misogynist.
Which right wing ones? Still two thumbs up for the "puerile and unfunny" memes. Just saying!!Anyone else notice how leftist memes are consistently puerile and unfunny? Especially compared to their rightwing counterparts? Just saying.
some said the same thing with Trump. he was going to resign, turn it over to Pence and Pence would pardon him. clearing him to have another go at other reality tv shows. he has a very strong following. many though he had no interest in being POTUS but just the publicity associated with running for office.

That raises the question: Is America more racist or misogynistic? I mean, Obama faced a lot of issues, but during the campaign for the most part his race wasn't an issue (on the surface). Clinton faced so much ugliness and toxic sexist talk throughout 2016 (and beyond).
As for a female leader in Canada - I'm all for it. I think Trudeau did a great thing by having so many qualified woman in his cabinet. I always felt bad from Kim Campbell because she inherited a shit show and had no prospects of being re-elected after Mulroney .
McRaven was a genius until he started to criticize the soon to be former knows more than the generals in chief.
You seem very frustrated and upset today. Surely an intelligent man like yourself has better things to do than becoming frustrated about memes. Or maybe not, I guess.Anyone else notice how leftist memes are consistently puerile and unfunny? Especially compared to their rightwing counterparts? Just saying.
