Who do you suppose would fill that vacuum? And how would that benefit the world?
Ah bullshit! The moment your country came under attack you‘d come running to us for protection regardless who is President....You know why? Because without us by your side, you people would surrender to cartoon characters if you could.Deft statesmanship and diplomatic finesses are not necessarily the tools that an egomaniacal, failed casino operator and faded reality-tv performer brings to the international stage.
The global consensus that Trump reeks leaves a stench upon America.
America’s image has tumbled during Trump’s presidency.Can Biden turn it around?The Gallup organization conducts annual surveys assessing how others assess U.S. leadership. In 20 of 29 countries where Gallup has completed these surveys, approval ratings “are at new lows or they tie the previous low,” according to the report released last week. Among the countries where approval hit new lows are two of the nation’s staunchest allies, Germany and Britain.Four years ago, before Trump became president, 43 percent of Germans had a positive impression of the United States as a leader in the world. Today just 6 percent approve. In the United Kingdom, 15 percent say they approve. More Russians — 18 percent — approve of American leadership internationally than Brits or Germans.
Gallup’s findings square with a Pew Research Center report of a few months ago. Pew’s regular survey asks whether people elsewhere have a favorable or unfavorable view of the United States. Among the nations where favorable impressions hit record lows or roughly tied them this year were a who’s who of traditional friends: the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, Canada and Australia.[President Biden,] the former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has promised to reengage constructively with other nations, as has his designee for secretary of state, Antony Blinken. That will begin with allies in Europe, who have been treated badly by the current president.“When he thinks foreign policy, he thinks allies, and when he thinks allies, he thinks Europe,” said Ivo Daalder, former ambassador to NATO ...Trump has spurned or hectored allies in Europe and questioned the value of transatlantic alliances. Biden will embrace them all.Showing up and saying the right words will be helpful in changing perceptions of the United States, but that might be only a first step in what could be a more challenging mission.Biden will look to European allies for help in dealing with some of the most important foreign policy issues that await him, from U.S. posture toward Russia to Biden’s desire to change relations with Iran after Trump pulled out of the joint nuclear agreement.View attachment 431481..........The Great Flatulence should cling to power! Alienating the global community while.... dividing America is a boffo idea!".....
While the rest of the world may be happy to see someone other than Trump in the White House, as long as you have a facist authoritarian party trying to gain power in your country, and which nearly half the electorate voted for, the rest of us aren't going to trust you not to re-elect Trump, or someone worse, in 2024.
And we're not going to cede any kind of world leadership to the USA in any sphere, be it trade, climate change or foreign policy, after the last 20 years of Republican economic and foreign policy fiascos. Simply stated, you've lost your way, and we're not following you.

...Anecdotally, overseas friends and family of mine essentially just breathed a sigh of relief and look at it as a one-off.
I have overseas family and friends who are shocked and dismayed that an American election was so blatantly stolen, and that so many very serious questions about freedom and democracy are in play right now.
Nah, we looked on it as further confirmation America's word and signature on treaties can not be trusted, as we already knew.Anecdotally, overseas friends and family of mine essentially just breathed a sigh of relief and look at it as a one-off.
That's pretty funny. Who would attack Canada except as a way to get at the US?Ah bullshit!

Those looking to overtake the Maple syrup empire?....
Wow, that must be terrible for them....Anecdotally, overseas friends and family of mine essentially just breathed a sigh of relief and look at it as a one-off.

Hi Mac; I have been watching Politics for over 40 years and been a party hack...it was great fun but serious at the same time. I have taken polls and been accurate; nothing fancy just at a Territory level...I have scrutineered at many elections and I have NEVER seen such a sordid set of practices outside the old Soviet/Chinese/Tin Pot Republics etc etc. Frankly I am disgusted that such things were allowed to occur...and no; it has nothing to do with Trump. I have heard that it is common in Dem cities to cheat; it is now on a National level. Welcome to Chicago Politics, World.Wow, that must be terrible for them....Anecdotally, overseas friends and family of mine essentially just breathed a sigh of relief and look at it as a one-off.

This topic -- election security -- is an absolutely critical topic to our very fucking existence. We have to do absolutely everything we can to absolutely minimize fraud and abuse. If fraud was committed here, we absolutely have know. We need a serious examination of what happened, because if they occurred, they have to be proven.Hi Mac; I have been watching Politics for over 40 years and been a party hack...it was great fun but serious at the same time.

Instead, we have gotten (to no one's surprise) a clown show, a freak show, including a profoundly damaged President's complete inability to act like a fucking adult, as usual. Now we're running the risk of a "boy who cried wolf" situation the next time we hear about this shit.
The only real, incontrovertible, verifiable facts I have are that Republican governors, Republican election officials, the Attorney General, Trump appointed judges and the Trump-heavy Supreme Court don't agree with this story. Until better information comes along, that's all I really have. I'm not going to put a lot of stock in fucking "bombshell" reports from Sean Hannity, Newsmax or winger websites.

It wasn't abandoned.I like what Trump did to ISIS...MOAB.What's the last country we invaded that didn't invade another country or that wasn't slaughtering it's own citizens?I'm sure you had an orgasm when Obama sent 150 Billion in cash to the murderous Mullahs of Iran.Can't wait for Corrupt Joe Biden to place his quivering lips on the asses of the Mullahs of Iran if we are so unfortunate to have him in office and validate the coup he fronted.
Until January 20, you'll have to satisfy your lust with lascivious evocations of the cult leader's seductive terpsichore:
It's very odd that you would actually evoke Reagan who secretly sold arms to the Khomeini government of the Islamic republic, in violation of an arms embargo. When Reagan's scandal broke, it was quite the embarrassment for the U.S.One of the worst nations on the planet and the left can't to prostrate themselves before Iran. Fuck!
The same was said of Reagan, that the rest of the world looked down on the US.
I guess when you have a president like Reagan or Trump we realize that you can't
please everyone so OP-ED writers at the NY Times can fuck off and the sycophants that post
trash like this can go with them.
What is America's opinion of the German leader, by the way?
If you fear that President Biden will repeat Reagan's treachery, please take solace in the fact that no one else entertains your bizarre notion.
Some are convinced that being a repulsive, unreliable object of ridicule is the path to global pre-eminence.
The American electorate and history differ.
Who did they murder? We are the ones invading other countries, not Iran.
We lie. Syria.
We claimed Iraq was but the facts are we started killing the very same people we condemned Saddam for killing.
He blew up an abandoned airfield (and didn't pay for the bomb).
From where do you get your fake news?
What did we accomplish? Four years later and nothing has changed.
When are you going to start paying for all of this?
Just like the Trillions that are about to be spent clearing student debt, we will just print the money and do it....That's how it is now...Monopoly money.
I don't know what Biden will do. Unless he pays for it I do not support it.
Sanders had a plan and he paid for it. I supported that.
No he didn't...He played a shell game of "tax the rich" never outlining what that would look like....So, it was blather.
He most certainly did explain the entire program.
Nah, all he did, is come up with a bunch of feel good giveaway's and say he was going to pay for it on the backs of (in Bernie's voice) Billionaires, and Millionaires....
It was mindless, and when looked into further we found that those millionaires, and billionaires were households making more than $400K per year....Which btw, is small business.
He proposed a small tax on trades. The very people who benefitted (college grads) would have paid for it.
Oh? And surely you can differentiate between the college grad, wall streeter, and the start up plumber with a high school education right?
The wall streeter has benefitted by massive socialists programs and should share more.
We went back on our word on how many things in the past four years? Do you do business with clients that do that to you? Britain will forgive us quickly. The others it will be a while. The clock will not even start for as long as there is 73 million people voting in approval. Very likely more of it to come under that situation. For as long as other countries think policy can be reversed every for years, what is the point in long term agreementsDeft statesmanship and diplomatic finesses are not necessarily the tools that an egomaniacal, failed casino operator and faded reality-tv performer brings to the international stage.

Does it bother you that our allies "went back on their word" with bearing their share of defense costs?
For one limited example.
You are looking for excuses to justify your anti-Americanism.
Breaking a deal, that is unfair and unjust, is the job of a President.

It wasn't abandoned.I like what Trump did to ISIS...MOAB.What's the last country we invaded that didn't invade another country or that wasn't slaughtering it's own citizens?I'm sure you had an orgasm when Obama sent 150 Billion in cash to the murderous Mullahs of Iran.Can't wait for Corrupt Joe Biden to place his quivering lips on the asses of the Mullahs of Iran if we are so unfortunate to have him in office and validate the coup he fronted.
Until January 20, you'll have to satisfy your lust with lascivious evocations of the cult leader's seductive terpsichore:
It's very odd that you would actually evoke Reagan who secretly sold arms to the Khomeini government of the Islamic republic, in violation of an arms embargo. When Reagan's scandal broke, it was quite the embarrassment for the U.S.One of the worst nations on the planet and the left can't to prostrate themselves before Iran. Fuck!
The same was said of Reagan, that the rest of the world looked down on the US.
I guess when you have a president like Reagan or Trump we realize that you can't
please everyone so OP-ED writers at the NY Times can fuck off and the sycophants that post
trash like this can go with them.
What is America's opinion of the German leader, by the way?
If you fear that President Biden will repeat Reagan's treachery, please take solace in the fact that no one else entertains your bizarre notion.
Some are convinced that being a repulsive, unreliable object of ridicule is the path to global pre-eminence.
The American electorate and history differ.
Who did they murder? We are the ones invading other countries, not Iran.
We lie. Syria.
We claimed Iraq was but the facts are we started killing the very same people we condemned Saddam for killing.
He blew up an abandoned airfield (and didn't pay for the bomb).
From where do you get your fake news?
What did we accomplish? Four years later and nothing has changed.
When are you going to start paying for all of this?
Just like the Trillions that are about to be spent clearing student debt, we will just print the money and do it....That's how it is now...Monopoly money.
I don't know what Biden will do. Unless he pays for it I do not support it.
Sanders had a plan and he paid for it. I supported that.
No he didn't...He played a shell game of "tax the rich" never outlining what that would look like....So, it was blather.
He most certainly did explain the entire program.
Nah, all he did, is come up with a bunch of feel good giveaway's and say he was going to pay for it on the backs of (in Bernie's voice) Billionaires, and Millionaires....
It was mindless, and when looked into further we found that those millionaires, and billionaires were households making more than $400K per year....Which btw, is small business.
He proposed a small tax on trades. The very people who benefitted (college grads) would have paid for it.
Oh? And surely you can differentiate between the college grad, wall streeter, and the start up plumber with a high school education right?
The wall streeter has benefitted by massive socialists programs and should share more.
That‘s just the thing isn’t it? Your proposals don’t / can’t differentiate between the two. Equal taxation and all.
It would. While a plumber invests in a 401k he isn't making trade after trade like a wall streeter would. The tax is on trades.
Oh, but 401k’s are on the table too....Obama wanted to take them into the gov structure, don’t tell me Biden doesn’t...
He might. It has nothing to do with what I've said though.
P.S. Obama never wanted to do that.

Joe Biden Promises To End Traditional 401(k)-Style Retirement Savings Tax Benefits. Whatâs That Mean?
Will employers still sponsor retirement plans if tax deferral is removed? Plus: why retirement credit supporters are comparing apples and oranges.
And, likewise, if employers’ contributions no longer offered a tax advantage, would they continue to offer these plans, or to offer employer contributions to them?
That's a stupid question. I was getting 9% from my employer, of course I would still participate. In reality I kinda wish I had contributed after tax anyway. I would be sitting much better right now if I had.
