After supporting for 4 years the most incompetent person ever to hold higher office since Nero you really don't have the right to ask that question.

 

"Would she stand up to China if they began expanding their Country?"

Why wouldn't she? Because she's a frail little lady? Let me tell you something; she's got more b@lls than the entire Trump household and she doesn't come with the stigma of being a draft dodger. Besides, she would have the entire US armed forces behind.

 

   And Nuclear Weapons at her disposal ...........what could possibly go wrong

Why do you consider Trump able and doubt her abilities?

   Move on from Trump, we are talking about Biden now .

I think that she too young and inexperienced (in life and politics) to be POTUS

Tell us how did the euro, the yen and the pound react to Trump's defeat? 

I guess Jensen was a good boy and listened to what I said since he seems to have toddled off. Anyway, the point of my question was that the euro, the yen, and the pound all rose in response to Trump's defeat. So there's really no grounds for thinking that the rise has anything to do with China-US antagonism but rather the reaction of world currency markets to Trump's defeat which can be summarized as "good riddance."

buddy, y'all don't wanna go there!

 

New bill would prohibit the president from nuking a hurricane

 

The measure is a direct response to President Trump’s reported suggestion of using nuclear bombs to defuse Atlantic tropical cyclones

 

Last August, Axios reported that President Trump repeatedly asked top national security officials to consider using nuclear bombs to weaken or destroy hurricanes. Now, one congresswoman wants to make it illegal for Trump, or any president, to act on this idea, which experts say would be both ineffective and extremely dangerous.

 

On June 1, Rep. Sylvia Garcia (D-Tex.) introduced the Climate Change and Hurricane Correlation and Strategy Act, a bill that explicitly prohibits the president, along with any other federal agency or official, from employing a nuclear bomb or other “strategic weapon” with the goal of “altering weather patterns or addressing climate change.”

As much as Golda Mier, Indira Ghandi or Margaret Thatcher, Jacinda Arden you mean. Yes ...

Now if Kamala Harris were a tough and experienced prosecutor there would be no doubt that she could stand up to world leaders but since...oh wait...

She is 56 years old. So you really only want old men in, sorry, disagree.

Inexperienced in life, you mean not married to 3 different men and no accusations of sexual harassment or payoffs?

 

And yes, when people claim they think Harris is unsuitable while on a continuous basis praising Trump, I think the comparison is very valid.

Are you actually writing that with a straight face after four years of trump with the nuclear codes???

I hope for your sake you're trolling.

Hopefully, the US experiment with radical Republican policy has ended. The GOP has wanted to gut Social Security and Medicare for decades. They came very close to accomplishing that goal. Biden has a near-impossible job ahead of him, since the GOP has retained control of the Senate.

Well, if you think she's too young at 56, then I guess you must think that Biden's age is just about right.

Geezus, are you for real? A vindictive, erratic, narcissistic President for the last four years, the only reason he didn't pull the trigger was probably he was worried about his own skin, not anyone else's.

Definitely not The Donald's style, let the entertainment really begin ????

 

 

Probably he will not have time enough for "entertainment reality".

 

In the German magazin SPON I have read that Trump will need a lot of time for 20-30 court cases. The real entertainment will start after January 20, 2021.

 

It's quite possible that Donald will wear a suit with the same color as his face has, when the cases are finished.

There have been some very strong and capable women in power, for example Golda Meir, Margaret Thatcher, Helen Clark and one Prime Minister whom I knew on a personal basis, Dame Jenny Shipley.....not forgetting Angela Merkel.

 

Have no fear because if these women are anything to go by, and Kamala Harris is of a similar ilk, the USA is in safe hands.

If Trump had won, America would now be on the path to dictatorship. The 70 million that voted for him would not even realise their freedom had gone.

I struggle with the callousness and total lack of empathy. Trump did not even bother to produce the customary trope of his thoughts and prayers being with the victims and their families. 243,642 of them.

Not all down to him, but a hell of a lot.

He reminds me of Stalin's quote: " One death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic."

  Get real , if Trump had won, he would have served another fours years until the next election, when someone else would have taken over

BS. He would have been trying to get the two mandated terms extended to President for Life. That's what Xi, Kim and Putin have done.

You seem to forget Trump admires these people, and seeks the same powers.

   If he had tried to do that , it wouldnt have been allowed due to the fact that POTUS can only serve two terms , maximum 8 years
