They aren’t happy with the president:
On the shoulders of giants… 
There’s a cyclops joke in there, but that would be ableist so I guess I won’t look for it…
(I was taught it isn’t nice to Steropes-type people who are different, do you Arges?)
That’s uncalled for. I see just fine with one eye.
Leave it to you to mention Obama in a Biden thread.
But yeah, Obama’s pandemic preparedness, Biden surely borrowed from his competent mind, before something or other amnesia-related happened in between. 
Talk about amnesia… 
As a good MAGA follower, I believe
- Covid-19 is a big hoax started by the Dimmiecrats to subvert the Trump Administration.
- Covid-19 is a terrifying act of biological warfare unleashed by the Chinese which will bring about the Downfall of the West.
- Masks and social distancing are useless against Covid-19 while the only cure is hydroxyclorohoweveryoupronouncethatstuff.
- Masks and social distancing are useless against Covid-19 because it’s no worse than the flu.
- Donald Trump single-handedly cut through the deadening bureaucracy of Fauci and others to launch Operation Warp Speed to develop a Covid-19 vaccine which will save us all.
- Covid-19 vaccines are an evil plot by George Soros, Bill Gates and the globalists to inject us with microchips and enslave us all.
I believe all these things simultaneously.
Says the guy who just made three posts about Trump in an hour.
Imagining things as usual.
Drunk Dem:
The time stamps on your “shoulder of giants” comments show three posts within an hour.
Google shifted more than $75.4 billion (€63 billion) in profits out of the Republic using the controversial “double-Irish” tax arrangement in 2019, the last year in which it used the loophole.
The technology giant availed of the tax arrangement to move the money out of Google Ireland Holdings Unlimited Company via interim dividends and other payments. This company was incorporated in Ireland but tax domiciled in Bermuda at the time of the transfer.
The move allowed Google Ireland Holdings to escape corporation tax both in the Republic and in the United States where its ultimate parent, Alphabet, is headquartered. The holding company reported a $13 billion pretax profit for 2019, which was effectively tax-free, the accounts show.
A year earlier, Google Ireland Holdings paid out dividends of €23 billion, having recorded turnover of $25.7 billion.
Because Google does so much of its business with the Irish and Bahamians. Just like U.S. corporations have so much business in Delaware-
More than 60% of Fortune 500 companies are headquartered in Delaware, and 75% of IPOs are done by companies located in Delaware.
Hey, Joe Biden’s home state! Senator from Mastercharge- we’ll have to see if any meaningful action is actually done.
I saw this. Good move.

One thing I always wonder about this is when is the cut-off date? Leftists want to condemn the Congo under King Leopold, Guernica, and the Bengal Famine; Rightists want to condemn the Holdomor, Katyn, and Great Leap Forward. What about the Atlantic slave trade? Oh yeah, what about the Arab slave trade? Should people have an opinion on the conquests of Genghis Khan, or Caesar’s invasion of Gaul?

The Biden admin recognizing the Armenian Genocide is a great thing - long overdue. Coupled with the timing, it is also a strategic message to China and the ongoing Uighur Genocide.
If we look back in history:
At the beginning of 1940, the Polish government-in-exile asked the British and French governments to condemn the German invasion of their country. The British initially declined to do so; however, in April 1940, a joint declaration was issued by the British, French provisional government,[4] and Polish. Relatively bland because of Anglo-French reservations, it proclaimed the trio’s “desire to make a formal and public protest to the conscience of the world against the action of the German government whom they must hold responsible for these crimes which cannot remain unpunished.”[5]
Three-and-a-half years later, the stated intention to punish the Germans was much more trenchant. On 1 November 1943, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States published their “Declaration on German Atrocities in Occupied Europe”, which gave a “full warning” that, when the Nazis were defeated, the Allies would "pursue them to the uttermost ends of the earth … so that justice may be done. … The above declaration is without prejudice to the case of the major war criminals whose offenses have no particular geographical location and who will be punished by a joint decision of the Government of the Allies."[6] This intention by the Allies to dispense justice was reiterated at the Yalta Conference and at Potsdam in 1945.[7]
We see the usual refusal to acknowledge or speak out against war crimes/atrocities committed by Axis, usually due to lack of leverage on trade, shipping lanes, and resources – (afraid to bite the hand that feeds you basically.)
In parallel the governments shift things around to be better prepared to “bite the hand that feeds it” to minimize disruptions. But it takes time, sometimes many years, with utmost secrecy.
Then years later we see a very quick change in tone – so from denial, we see some acknowledgement, and then full on warning of the consequences to come. We have not reached the 3rd stage with China yet. Give it 3 to 4 years before Allies make a full warning like in WWII – something along the lines of “when the CCP is defeated, the Allies will pursue them to the uttermost ends of the earth…so that justice may be done”.

As for Biden’s decision (and Trump’s intention) to pull out of Afghanistan, I disagree 100000%. the US needs to increase its presence in the region, quadruple it, etc (maybe secretly - say in media that troops are leaving, but in reality keep sending more into afghanistan, this would also function as psyop since CCP would be looking at satellite images like “wtf is going on” and would have to stretch itself thin between South China Sea and Middle East – keep in mind the Afghan border is merely 150mi from Xinjiang concentration camps (165mi to Kashgar and 800 miles to Urumqi), and well within a fleet of F18’s 1,200 mile range (this is why China nearly shat themselves when US pulled off a massive shift of forces into the region during Bush’s War on Terror) – if it ever comes down to a “boots on the ground” scenario to save millions of innocent lives, the Allied forces absolutely need this entry point. The US has already established itself in the area, the next option would be to roll in through Kyrg. or Kazakhstan but it would be like starting from scratch. Additionally, Afghanistan is a strategic wedge between China/Pakistan/Iran.
Except for the ones that proved useful in the ensuing Cold War. How far did deNazification in either of the Germanies go?
This is insane- do you think the U.S.could quadruple its forces in Afghanistan and nobody would know? Not the NYT, much less the CCP? They wouldn’t notice those extra flights into Pakistan?

Of course not all the way, it would have been equally monstrous if the Allies wiped out the nazi p.o.w.'s – the focus narrowed down to the key figures and top ranking nazis. The same would apply to CCP.
