America isn’t my country and I won’t be voting in their election but I find it fascinating, listening to all the propaganda and the divisive rhetoric, particularly since there’s only one presidential candidate who’s remotely interested in making any attempt to unite the American people. Why would anyone want to criticize Biden when it’s so much easier to criticize Trump? It’s an interesting question. All we ever hear about Biden on ISAC is that he’s old, he’s sleepy, he’s useless, he sniffs kids’ hair. And that’s it. It’s either a case of making something up or resorting to insults. He’s a politician after all, why can’t the ‘right-wingers’ do better than this?
The Republicans in congress also have difficulty in finding fault with Biden. Since the 2020 election they’ve been desperately looking for an excuse to impeach him. Why? Because Trump was impeached and they’d like to even the score. They have nothing better to do. They’ve had three committees working on it but they couldn’t find any dirt on him, so they investigated his son instead, hoping to imply guilt by association. Earlier this year, accompanied by a triumphant fanfare, they announced they finally had irrefutable proof of Biden Junior’s dodgy business dealings in Ukraine and Biden Senior’s share of the profits. Unfortunately it turned out it was their irrefutable proof that was dodgy. It was bogus information that had been fed to them by a Russian intelligence agent!
Now when it comes to criticizing Trump we’re spoiled for choice. Where should we start? Sexual assault, fraud, lying, election interference, theft of secret documents, more lying, obstruction of justice, admiration for Putin……..the list goes on. Of course some will close their minds to all this and act like it doesn’t exist. The alternative is to face reality and for some, this reality is just too uncomfortable. Ultimately when all’s said and done, it isn’t even Donald Trump who will be fooling them. They’ll be fooling themselves.
