#1 Nasty Russkies - why can't they understand that they lost, and die quietly?!

#2 ..cause the other Europeans are too scared to take up their own defense (against Putie or their Muslim invaders). I guess we know who's going to die quietly.

#3 Until we secure our southern border with the failed state of Mexico, I could care less about Europe. They don't care about us.

It frustrates me that we could easily secure the border, but for whatever reason lack the political will to do so. Ole Donnie campaigned on and largely won the 2016 election on this issue...and then sat on his hands for the first two years of his admin and did nothing about it...only to chirp about it again after we lost Congress and the election season came back around.

#6 2 candidates = binary choice. Unless you furriners have an alternative. This isn't your dysfunctional knesset

#7 Straw man argument Francis: just because somebody disapproves of Trump, doesn't mean they approve of Biden.

p.s. This isn't your dysfunctional knesset

Anybody told you that you argue like a 5 years old, Francis?

#10 Tennessee,
Trump did more than any other president to reduce illegal immigration in to the US. Having said that, he didn't do enough and what he did was too easily undone. The 2 year delay was in the federal bureaucracy delaying his efforts.
Like Frank said, revel in the alternative.

#11 Then House Speaker Paul Ryan sat on his fucking hands for two years. If you're going to place blame, he's the main man.

#12 Fuck Europe.

If they were serious about being afraid of Russia, they never would have built Nordstream 2.

Obviously it doesn't concern them. So why should we care?

#13 What Raj said. Trump's only mistake was underestimating how deep The Swamp is.

And I would admit one point for grom...however dysfunctional the Knesset is, our Congress can't be any better.

Like G said - this is a weak straw man argument.

I bought into Trump's political pitch that he was going to secure the southern border...and he didn't. Should have been job #1 day 1...in order to mitigate a clear and present danger...

FYSA - I was with a group of border agents the night Trump won and the party that ensued was crazy. We expected him to do what he said he was going to do.

Re: clear and present danger...
B - Let me clue you in - the stunning amount of cheap fentanyl, meth, and heroin pushed into the US from Mexico has a state sponsor...this is asymmetric warfare conducted against us with intent to destabilize just like the Klingons attempted to do to China via Afghan heroin...this is payback.

And the result...the fight is now here in the hills of Tennessee...a war fought by poor white men. A fight that I am in. Not over there - here.

And to all you believers in the one true president Trump...Trump is the reason we have the idiot Biden...you revel in that alternative.
