32. The honorable thing to do would be to stand by democracy and keep calling out the neo-Nazis

Neville Chamberlain played nice with Hitler. Hey, guys, Adolf wants "peace in our time." Let's be honorable British gentlemen and respect the German leader. Look, he even signed this nice peace treaty.

Holy hell, people. Wake up! Let's not keep making the same mistakes the Brits made. You cannot appease a dictator. Stop trying. It makes everything we did in the campaign feel that much more futile. And if Biden and the Dems keep this up, I want my damn money back. I gave more than I could afford, and I didn't do it so the Dems could make nice with this freakn' piece of scum who will, once again, have the nuclear codes and access to all of America's secrets.

I agree, but I doubt Biden will unleash (when the cameras are gone). He probably (wrongly) believes that he has hlthe2b Nov 13 #8

It upsets me too, but Pres. Biden thinks it is the "honorable" thing to do. hlthe2b Nov 13 #3

Great point. It's the same as when Kamala walked over to t-rump and shook hands with the mad man PortTack Nov 13 #50

Good comparison. Nt BootinUp Nov 13 #57
