strong feelings about USA Politics

we are now seen as disgraceful
deplorable, terrible, unacceptable
the leaders of the other countries are laughing
we are allowing a convicted felon
a person with no integrity
who makes fun of people’s medical and psychological conditions
to run for president of the USA
we are laughable

A man who caused an insurrection on national TV
who should have been hanged for treason
it is unacceptable, dreadful, unpardonable
but what else would they expect?
We have a sexual harasser and a rapist on the Supreme Court
The USA government has become a joke
but who is laughing?
Not the children mowed down by guns in grade schools

If I was from a foreign country
I would never come visit this upside down place
It is shameful what the thinkers have allowed the nonthinkers to do
and it gets more shameful
every single
second
that this
presidential candidate
is not wearing his orange jumpsuit
and that the electoral college
can allow a woman to get two million more votes than her opponent
and still not become president.
Who is laughing?
Not me.

I agree; Biden is too old and Trump is too corrupt and has no integrity

You may not be laughing but most are. MAGA is a lot better than GaGa. I love a good rant so well done.

I suppose you could contrast this with, Russia, North Korea, Iran, and many more countries. Americans have the choice, good or bad.

We would have a choice if the electoral college was abolished - right now we do not even have an equal vote.
