Re: U.S. politics thread and Joe Biden-the Ronan O'Gara of U.S. Presidents

The MAGA argument is of course, nonsense

Allowing Russia to successfully invade and therefore emboldening China to attack Taiwan and destroy the semiconductor economy is never in the USA’s interests

But Trump doesn’t care - he just wants to ‘win’.

I think, regardless of sickness, everyone (including AB supporters) were very happy that the Boks won in 1995

Sadly, in the years since, some Bok ‘fans’ have done their best to make us regret that sentiment.
