One of the things I would say that Trump has that Biden doesnt is he has advisors close to him who do come out and disagree with him. Then there are also meetings to try and change his mind (the Sec. of Energy, Pentagon people, and National Labs are meeting with him this week to talk him away from actual nuke testing). That was something I just didnt see during the Biden Admin.
Another difference I just thought of is how often Trump talks to the press. That wasnt the case with Biden and so I think we see more of Trump and the way he moves and because we see it we react more as opposed with Biden we just didnt really see or hear from him towards the end.
All of this is to say I am part of the group of Republicans that are also getting sick and tired of his antics. It annoys the hell out of me that they sadly seem to work more than they dont.

I heard that the only people who spoke to Trump against the Iran war were Tucker Carlson and Charlie Kirk.

Given Iran's recent announcement that they have completely stopped enriching uranium... I dont think hardly anyone Republican or Democrat were against the strikes. They did what they needed to do.
Iran has been fueling terrorist orgs they have targeted civilians and US troops over the couple of decades. With their attacks on Israel it gave the US a clear reason to at a minimum highly disrupt their nuclear ambitions.

The US is Israel's puppet. That's why we did it - Israel wanted it.

Nah. First of all BB isn't Israel. Second Israel buys a lot of US weapons and is one of strongholds the US has in the region.
APAC is not Israel and it sure seems like APAC and the MIC are allies. At best we have a pressure group allied with US military contracts pushing a specific agenda.
The US being Israel's puppet is a bit of a leap. Its a lazy overgeneralization that isn't helpful. The world is not that simple. There are many gangs and alliances. Many crime families and enemies.

Not in the slighest with what Trump has done to them. Eliminating the idea the US would support and accept a West Bank annexation. Not allowing Israel to keep up its Gaza measures and the clear clear threat of not vetoing UN Security Counsel resolutions against Israel stopped them. They still need the US for bombs.
Plus the Saudi Crown Prince trip to Washington is involving the possible sale of F-35s to Saudi.... If what you said is true in the slightest this wouldn't even be something that Washington thinks about.

It's all a show, and you're one of the actors. They have to play their little game, so people like you have "talking points". It's a big psyop.
This is a photo from a few months ago. 250 US state legislators in Israel on a paid trip.

I would agree re accessibility. The Biden "administration" really was a Soviet style dystopia.
Let me ask you. Doesn't it seem obvious at this point that a bi -partisan back room deal has now been cut regarding Epstein files to ensure that no allegations against anyone powerful in either party will be released?

I do kinda think that is what we are going to get. I dont see a whistle blower coming forward either because the victims identities would come out as well and no one wants them to have to relive what we already know they went through. I imagine what they went through was even worse personally and so I really think it would hurt much more than it would help.

There are rape shield laws where victims can testify without their identity being publicized. It happens in courts throughout the country daily. It looks more like powerful rapists avoiding justice.
reply
Very true and I didnt think about that.... I just have a gut feeling that the big juicy docs are going to have a victims name and the rapists name together and so someone trying to blow the lid I would think would not leak those if that makes sense....
I am sure there are plenty of damming documents regardless I just dont know if the ones that we could use to tie person A to person B would even be leaked via whistleblower.
