You don't know who is worse Biden or Trump? Let me explain there is no contest. Trump was a malicious, mysogynistic, greedy, lying son of a bitch who has put Biden in the position that he is in now. Basically left to shovel a load of horse shit out of a stable which is full of it, and keeps filling up with more, put there by Trump and the Republican Party.

This is irresponsible talk. Let me be clear - what is left of democracy is at stake in America because of Trump. Trump was the one who downplayed Covid and put Biden in the impossible political position of having to defend the use of masks and vaccinations. Biden is trying to find some kind of moderate position which won't backfire come the November elections and give the Republicans control of Congress. Look at Shanghai - that is what Biden would have to do to get people to listen to him and he while he might want to, he can't do that here.

Try passing an environmental bill without coal Baron Joe Manchin's vote or Sinema's. Count the votes for yourself. That's politics and it sucks. If Trump was in the Presidency he'd be drilling holes under your house to find coal and oil, and once your house had collapsed and you were out on the streets, he'd be selling it to make money for himself and his cronies.

As for Ukraine it's a proxy war. Let's hope that Putin is satisfied with Eastern Ukrainian and Crimea. Biden and NATO are right to stand up to him. It is far too dangerous to let him run roughshod over a country that close to Europe. I will grant you this - Ukraine should have agreed to remain neutral. The US would not want Russian troops or tanks in either Canada or Mexico. Remember Cuba? What's good for the goose is also good for the gander.

Calling Manchin and Sinema traitors would be political suicide. Politics at this time is about a country which is not a democracy, It is controlled by a few red states like South Dakota who have two senators and about 230,000 residents, as opposed to California which has millions of residents and also has two Senators. That's called a loaded, unfair game.

Until we fix an inherently flawed political system where the minority rules the Senate (Republicans) not the majority (Democrats) and a outdated irrelevant constitution, we'll always be accepting the bad to avoid the worse.

That's the reality of American politics and blaming Biden for an inherently flawed system is not the answer.
