Think you've got that confused with us supporting him / the USA!

He's done nothing for us.
You might want to look at his support for Britain in the Falklands War

IMHO Biden can do no wrong after his past support for the UK ...
What support for the UK would that be? It is well known that he hates the UK, sometimes openly.
During the Falklands war he was phoned by a British Minister in whatever role he had and he answered the phone with "Tell me what you need and I'll arrange it.". (Paraphrasing.)

He didn't even need to be asked.

Found this:



Sounds to me like his support was for NATO rather than the UK specifically. It is well known that he hates us - he's Irish, apparently, who knew. He gets it from his mother.

Anyway, this is the 45 thread. The 46 thread is ---> that-a-way.

On the other hand, young Trump looks so much like Barron:

If any Brits on here could actually vote in the forthcoming US election, would anyone actually vote for Trump?

There appear to be quite a few on the Biden thread. They seem afraid to admit it though and instead spend all their time criticising Biden. There are regular challenges thrown out to them to admit their support and / or explain why they are so supportive. The challenges are very rarely taken up though. Even when they are, the reasoning is usually very flawed and doesn’t stand up to the slightest probing.

Does the SCOTUS Chevron deference decision affect the DOJ? I haven't looked but I suspect not. I'm looking forward to Congress actually getting their act together and drafting laws that actually work, instead of relying on unelected bureaucrats "interpreting" them without any oversight or come back.
The Chevron decision doesn’t change anything about drafting laws. It shifts the interpretation from agencies to federal courts.

It’s a SCOTUS power grab by 6 unelected life time appointed bureaucrats with the expressed intention of rescuing oversight.

It’s a huge change to how the US govt functions.

I'm genuinely curious...would they actually cast their vote for him?

I loathe Trump and all those behind him so it'd be a No from me biggrin

My cousin's wife thinks Trump is fantastic but then she's down some rabbit hole that contains the "Russia are playing with us and when they bring out the 'good stuff' we'll all be toast" as well.
God knows why - she's an otherwise normal Lincolnshire lass!

Am I still right in thinking that the Dems are effectively the equivalent to a centre left Tory party over here (Thatcher era?) and that the GOP is usually fairly far right, although currently in Genghis Khan territory with the current bunch?

Destroys your comment about him having nothing for us though.

Not really. He's done nothing for us as President.

Other than drag us into his proxy wars.

Whatever his opinion may have been 42 years ago it is quite clear that he hates the UK now.

ETA: and as I said. This is the 45 thread. 46 is ---> that-a-way.

Can't discuss in 46. Most critics have been silenced and banned from that thread.

Quite ironic considering the same people on this forum claim Trump does the same thing.

If it was just us, then absolutely! That’s what happened in WW2/after - we went to war to defend Poland but because the US wouldn’t continue Churchill had to give up when Russia took over them instead.

It's already started, the supreme court has already started telling government agencies they are no longer allowed to just interpret things however they like or introduce whatever rules they feel like without having to defend them in court - Now congress will actually have to do their job rather than leave it up to the federal agencies. I see it as a a very good thing.

They did have to defend them in court.

Congress was always doing its job.

This has nothing to do with how laws are drafted, but who gets the first pass at interpreting them. It was federal agencies, now it’s federal judges.

The prior arrangement was a thorn in the side of corporations who felt the various govt agencies over-regulated them.
