    How close an ally they are is debatable given their stances on a lot of things. I would say what China and Russia are doing has a big effect on this country.

    He is, but I think that’s kind of why he gets mentioned so much.

    Every president will make mistakes, but he is the first one to peddle bullshit conspiracy theories and play the victim card.

    “No president has been treated as unfairly as me” he is often quoted as saying. Pretty sure JFK would have something to say there. He has normalised internet rhetoric and made it into everyday discourse, which has made a lot of his fan base into cult like followers willing to die to protect him.
    There’s a chilling similarity between him and the antagonist of the game Farcry 5, who is also a cult leader. The line “they won’t let you take me” rings louder than it should.

    He just had his house raided to retrieve classified information and he still spins it as though he is the victim and is being picked on. What he is saying in his defence doesn’t even make sense, it’s just mind boggling levels of delusion.

    Hmm, you don’t think American films, media politics and music have influenced us the most out of any nation?

    Yes, and thank heaven for that. Give me blues, soul, Tamla over the delights of Soviet dirges any day. As for media politics maybe you and a few obsessive read American media, the vast majority of people don’t.
    Did you notice that Twitter shut the account of trump, and closes down anyone they consider to the right, but the account of someone who told J K Rowling “you are next” after the stabbing of Salman Rushdie remains open because it didn’t violate their terms or conditions?

    Hunter Biden is a private citizen, the fact that he smokes crack and shags hookers has no bearing on the running of the USA.

    Plus, if I had a laptop with incriminating evidence about somebody I didn’t like, I’d definitely just sit on it for months and years and not, repeat not, immediately hand it over to the proper authorities for investigation, because that would be sensible, wouldn’t it? It was investigated, as it should have been, but it came to nothing and just smacked of desperation from Trump and MyPillowGuy.

    There's a damn sight more to it than that, but the no politics rule does not allow discussion.

    She was found to have been a dozy bint using a private server to discuss government matters, but didn’t discuss anything of any worth.
    See the difference yet?

    “But what about” “but what about” is one of the most used terms on things like Fox and Newsmax, John Oliver did a great bit on it. It’s a deflection tactic used when people know somebody is in the **** and they’re trying to go “look over there”

    There really isn’t much more to it. The bloke is a crackhead and a **** up, and also a full grown adult whose father has no control over or responsibility for.
    It was investigated thoroughly, it’s done.

    There's a hell of a lot of double standards from various quarters, but this thread is wandering close to a lock as it is.

    I do love the fact that Hunter Biden’s laptop and the Hillary Clinton email thing have popped up on a conspiracy thread.
    Pizzagate next, please.

    There really is, and if you don't know about the rest (non conspiracy) then you're really not as clued up as you try to present, but as I said, it's not appropriate for this board.

    I have no doubt, the US is riddled with them. A certain former president allowing drone strikes that killed a lot civilians and then criticising his successor for Afghanistan springs to mind.

    I know pretty much every aspect of the case, I followed it with great interest. An attempt was made, it fell flat. It’ll happen again.

    Interesting. About bias, I assume?

    Which makes your comments very strange in deed, but as I said, it's not for this board.

    Surely there’s questions to be asked about Biden’s mental state? The bloke clearly doesn’t have all his marbles.

    Totally agree, and that’s not a political response, he’s clearly not mentally capable of holding down any responsible job, neither in industry or elsewhere.
