    "evil" tells us all that and more.

      It might to you but I was taught to be less emotive in my use of language, particularly when employing the written word.

            No. I also just experienced a moment of synchronicity, As I was reading the title of this thread, and specifically the word "Meanwhile..." someone on the TV said "Meanwhile" at the exact same time.

              Bad actors are acting out because we have a vibrating baloney loaf for a president.

Of course the war profiteers hated it and couldn't wait to get Trump out of office, and now here we are: worldwide chaos and conflict. Happy days are here again (at least if you're in the business of war).

                  That has nothing to do with what is happening now.

                    Your selective outrage about invasive wars that kill hundreds of thousands and displace millions is noted. Make America Great Again!

                      Trump did everything he could to avoid conflict, and we enjoyed four years of peace and prosperity. "Make America Great Again" indeed. Now we have Joe in the White House who is pledging billions of dollars to keep the war going in Ukraine for as long as possible but won't spend a single cent to secure our own borders.

                        What is undeniable are the results of placing a geriatric duffer in the White House who confuses his wife and sister for each other and entertains people at state dinners with his long, loud and smelly farts.

                          Whag is only about whataboutism. Totally incapable of defending the catastrophes that his side is inflicting on the country. Then again, if I was in his position ... well, I'd probably just be quite and avoid Civics.
