Joe Biden Wins - Becomes 46th president of the United States

[Darth Meteos]

when the choices are corporatists and fascists, saying you're a centrist who thinks both sides have a point still means you're a trash person

you are not enlightened or wise
"the fascists have a point" is a bad position

borders are not intrinsic physical laws of the universe
we invented them, and can also dispose of them or any laws related to them if it seems prudent

the same can also be said of any and all documents from the 18th century

You can't assume correlation between those two things, it's perfectly possible for something to be objectively positive but still be illegal. All you have to do is pass a law.

Why would someone pass a law against something objectively positive? Because they are prejudiced..

I've said it a hundred times in these kinds of debates, so it feels stale when I say it for the 101st time, but it is what it is. I'm sure that there are many illegal immigrants who are simply looking for a better life, or seeking refuge from the cartels prevalent at the border. In fact, they're probably the majority. Here's the problem - there are cartels at the border. Sex trafficking, drug trafficking and illegal arms trade is commonplace, and has been for as long as there was a southern border. Communities that exist along it deserve to be protected from the negative effects of a patchy border, the government has a duty to address the issue.

Those aren't going to be affected by anything Trump does. So his vilification of immigrants to try to solve that particular problem is at best ineffective and at worst evidence of prejudice.

Trump really does seem more interested in keeping immigrants away by separating the families up, than drugs/guns/people trafficking/etc.

As I have said previously Trump is hated here in Scotland for all his shady business deals he has done here. He is disliked so much there is a petition to get Glasgow Prestwick Airports name changed to Joe Biden International so every time Trump flies here he has to arrive at Joe Biden International

I SEE... so it was all liberals' doing responsible for this fake newz?

I... wha...
brain short circuits trying to calculate the odds of seriousness, since for any sufficiently stupid statement there is ALWAYS someone that's going to spout it sincerely

We can do away with them and change the laws as we see fit. The thing is as of writing this they are illegal immigrants and laws are laws. When we start picking and choosing which ones we can break and what ones we want to uphold things start getting Grey and at that point who do you prosecute and who do u let get away with what. If it needs to be changed then it should be changed but until then it's still illegal and should come with consequences period.

Example I can't say the law that says killing someone is stupid and expect to get away with murder. Or your favorite one it's stupid they say it's illegal to storm the capital so I'm going to and their will be no consequences

Scottish population = 5,460,000.

realistically that's still a good indicator considering that's just the amount of people that actually a) give a shit about US politics, b) know about that petition, c) know a decent amount about Trump and d) bothered to sign it

Oh its not like there was a huge protest here the last time Trump visited and the streets of Edinburgh were full of protesters.

I have many more pictures if you want

Not really, It's no indicator of whether people support him in Scotland or not. What is an indicator though is the joke of a petition you linked too. Anyone from Scotland can sign it, so far about 0.05% of people have signed it. Are people meant too walk around in Trump gear in Scotland to signal how they feel about him? I think most people couldn't care less about him in Scotland or US politics in general.

Why is this thread not in EOF?

It Clearly Belongs There.

Official notice that Pence will attend inaugural and isn't scheduled to attend Trump's farewell event in the morning. Pence was spotted at the WH a few minutes ago. pic.twitter.com/UPWOgLThM5

I'll believe that Biden won when Kamala leaves the Senate.

Harris resigns from the Senate ahead of inauguration

He's been in Washington for years. As a career, not a public service, mind you.
EDIT: Added italics to 'years'

What's your point? He just landed today for his inauguration tomorrow .... It's polite to great those you respect. Have a little respect!

Relax, friend. I'm not sure what has motivated you to react to my comment in such a way; it is certainly puzzling.
I was just correcting a previous comment that supposed Biden had been visiting Washington for the first time. Is there some other reason you objected to my comment with such vigor?
Disrespectful in what manner?

Your remarks and emphasis on years was a snark response to my warm welcoming. It is not "puzzling" that I would put you back in your place after you trying to be "smart" with me. I can read between the lines... And italics.

Senate seat from 1973 through 2009 is a long time. It's years, (as in decades), not years (as in a few). I was just emphasizing that for the interested reader.
"Put me back in my place"?
Sigh, partisan politics never ceases to amaze.
