10,000-20,000 lobs lost due to Biden, war kickstarted in Syria and he got locked out of the white house.

This is going great.

Better than the last four years.

So what Jobs? Is it the environmentally destructive ones that Trump tried to steam roller in?

What about the war Trump tried starting with Iran?

Not so much locked out of the whitehouse as just more of Trumps petty childish bullying.

You want it to go badly, so you're trying to convince yourself it has gone badly. It hasn't

Trump had nothing to do with it, he was long gone. The Bidens were actually locked out, but it was only for a brief time. It was their own doing too ... they fired the guy in charge just before the inauguration started, without designating someone else to do the job. Not a big deal, just a run of the mill snafu.

p sure the thing they referred to was Trump basically leaving Biden with as absolutely little as possible, which is in fact his fault

Timothy Harleth was supposedly fired at 11:30 which was before anyone from Biden's team arrived.

Trump said he didn't do it. Maybe Trump is telling the truth for the first time in his life? I'd want to see proof.

Are you saying the only people who post here don't have jobs?

Also, it's Sunday.

I'm just going by what the news is reporting. It's right there in the video, Biden didn't want anyone Trump-connected left in the White House. Mainstream news reporting is accurate, right?

Well I don't know, I'm only going on what is being reported in the news. It may have been a mistake that Team Biden is now blaming Team Trump for. The problem is that Trump has spent all his time acting like a dick, in the name of getting things done. So it's believable that he's acting like a dick now. It's the risk you take with that strategy.


https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/20/politics/timothy-harleth-white-house-chief-usher/index.html

A Biden White House official confirmed Harleth's departure, but added, "he was let go before the Bidens arrived" at the White House.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...-chief-white-house-usher-Timothy-Harleth.html

'It happened before we walked in the door,' White House press secretary Jen Psaki said at her briefing on Friday when asked who fired Harleth.

https://thegrio.com/2021/01/23/trump-fired-chief-usher-white-house/

The Bidens were falsely accused of firing the White House's chief usher on their first day in the residence

https://news.yahoo.com/trumps-team-fired-white-house-080546001.html


FWIW I believe the Biden's had said they were going to replace him, just not before they moved in.

You're saying he didn't order a bombing?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/50982493

General Qasem Soleimani died in an airstrike in neighbouring Iraq which was ordered by US President Donald Trump on Friday 3 January 2020.


In response, Donald Trump has said the US is ready to attack 52 sites "important to Iran and the Iranian culture".

FYI your country has been bombing children in the middle east your entire life, that was nothing in comparison

How has "my country" got anything to do with comparisons between Trump and Biden?

I truly dont give a single shit about morona, you fear it, I dont give a shit, peace out

I don't want to catch it, but I'm not living in fear. You are very judgmental, laughing at people that know better than you.

ah yes, preventing international violence with *squints at hand* narrower, more precise international violence
and fracking absolutely does damage to the environment- but you're probably unwilling to even imagine trump ever supporting anything remotely bad, so there's really no way to convince you of basic facts like "violence is the worst thing you could do as a way of preventing war" or "in general, convoluted methods of extracting and using oil for fuel are going to beat the shit out of the environment"

Shale gas is, objectively speaking, the cleanest fossil fuel. Burning it releases 45% less carbon dioxide, 75% less nitrogen oxide, nearly no sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, black carbon and particulates or mercury. The concerns in regards to fracking are centered around the accidental release of methane during the extraction process, but that can be limited with proper procedures.

Fracking is demonstrably associated with various health risks, significantly increases earthquakes in the area, and contributes to the problems of climate change and global warming, both because of the release of methane and because of the burning of fossil fuels.

Fracking should be illegal.
