Of course Trump will do it as an election stunt, just like any Democrat will, as shocking to some as that may be.
“Troops out regardless of geopolitical consequence is good.”

See you were able to make your point after all. It’s wrong and short sighted and will lead to troop increases in the future because the utter lack of any plan will create power vacuums that are never filled with anyone we’d consider an ally of the west and it will get worse but hey plans are for dumb dumbs. Also since in your hypothetical world a democrat would do the same thing it’s ok and we should praise trump. But we won’t because this thread is all liberals being pals yeah?

I mean for how badly Trump has made a (word that rhymes with luck, but starts with C) out of him, a SCOTUS seat is the least Ted Cruz should want.

Is Biden holding up, mentally? Seems like he's doing a lot of old-man rambling these days, not making any sense, confused.

Example?

Anyone (even younger than 40) speaking publicly all day every day is going to make some gaffes.

At this stage I dont give a bollocks if Biden is clinically dead and flies are circling his rotting corpse, he'd still be a better President than the Russian owned moron that is driving the US to bankruptcy right now.

you would have thought his advisors would have pointed out to him that the last person Trump would want deciding his fate would be a Ted Cruz who no longer has to gave a tinkers about anything Trump and his minions do or say as he would be in a job for life and no longer needed political support

Well, I guess when your country has almost all of the cases anyway, why bother...

Americans are also pretty much banned from travelling anywhere, and people in other countries banned from travelling to the US. Although again it is impressive how little they even care about optics, this isn't asking for much and they still won't do it.

^ They should be testing people leaving the country as an act of good will to the rest of the world.

How large is this list? Canada wouldn't be on it. There's no travel ban to the US, just land border crossing.

US itself is only banning China, Iran, Europe (most) and Brazil (EDIT: technically banning people who have been in those places in the last 14 days, so a German citizen, for example, could travel from Germany to Mexico, stay 14 days and then fly to US if they really really wanted to). Other countries may have had their own bannings preventing citizens from travelling to the US but I'm not sure how many of them exist.

But yeah, symptom check for people coming to US is stupid. The conversation would be:

"Oh, looks like you're coronavirus free! Enjoy that for the next 5 minutes until you get outside the aiport and get infected!"

I didn't suggest otherwise, or even mention Trump whatsoever.

There have been 3 for sure in the last 7-10 days, just bizarre moments where he's not making any sense, or seems like he forgets what he was talking about.

Do you have any actual examples? Not to prove a point, just that from what I've seen over the past 7-10 days, he's been really on-point and well-spoken, so it's hard to imagine what you're referring to.

What if they're from right-wing media sites/twitter? Is there any way I can post those videos on here without british bob thinking I want to have a 3-way with Eric & Donald Jr?

Ok I'll bite, assuming you arent a Trump supporter and your idea of a complement for your partner isnt 'my that dress is lovely it easily makes you look tend pounds lighter' then what the hell is the point of coming on social media where this election will be won or lost to some degree and suggesting that Biden is senile, a condition that cannot be altered at all, effectively you just came on this site and said 'Biden might be senile and you probably shouldn't vote for him'

For a guy that doesnt like Trump you have an odd way of supporting the only alternative
