Democrats Are Now the Party of War

With the election of Joe Biden, Democrats and their supposedly anti-war base now own the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, and any other military conflicts which suddenly appear in the near future.

President Trump spent the last four years trying to end those wars while successfully keeping the United States out of new conflicts. For his efforts, he was called a fascist, an asset of Russia, and a traitor to America.

Trump brokered historic peace deals throughout the Middle East, yet Democrats and their agents in the media repeatedly called him a threat to democracy.

As a United States Senator from Delaware, Joe Biden voted for the Iraq War and the Afghanistan War. As Vice President under Obama, Biden said these wars would end and the troops would come home.

Now Biden is going to be the president of the United States, and his promise as VP almost a decade ago is still unfulfilled. He voted for the wars as a senator, failed to stop them as a vice president, and will now preside over them as a president.

Trump was trying to end this but Democrats stopped his efforts by replacing him with Joe Biden who has been part of the problem all along. Democrats now own these wars.

Do you remember the days when Code Pink activists would somehow be sneaked into hearings on Capitol Hill and thrust their freshly red-painted palms into the faces of national security figures? Those days are over.

Under President George W. Bush, Democrats and their activist base made an industry out of the anti-war movement. Now that they voted for Joe Biden, the only 2020 candidate who voted to support these wars, they own them.

Anyone who has ever claimed to oppose the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and voted for Joe Biden in 2020, should never be taken seriously ever again. This is true for high ranking Democrats, people in liberal media, Michael Moore, Code Pink, and any of your annoying anti-Trump friends on Facebook who insist to this day that they oppose war.

For anyone who doesn’t remember, the anti-war movement that flourished under Bush, evaporated the day Obama was sworn in as president in 2009. Members of Code Pink were even present at his inauguration, but things didn’t work out as planned.

Instead of ending the wars as promised, Obama turned out to be Bush-Lite. The same people who called Bush a war criminal suddenly had nothing to say about Obama killing American citizens with drones, or starting a new conflict in Libya that led to a renewed industry of slavery there.

Joe Biden was standing by for all of this, but Democrats expect you to ignore that. Joe Biden, who opposed the mission to kill Osama Bin Laden, is now going to make everything right in the world, according to America’s top thinkers at the DNC and their unofficial public relations teams at CNN and MSNBC.

Various “peace” tactics notwithstanding, the Democrats have always been a party of war.

Kind of a tough spot to put yourself in, since they burned every single bridge behind them

Trump will go down in history for his outstanding accomplishments despite full resistance from Democrats in the House, Democrats in various states that sued to stop various Presidential initiatives.

Now as to Biden and Democrats. If by Hook or Crook they control the Presidency, the House of Representatives and the Senate, they will accomplish little. Democratic leadership has been one of symbolic acts that do nothing, wild uncontrolled spending plans, and discrimination on the basis of political correctness.

Clearly a large part of the population, is very unhappy with Biden and another large part of the population is unhappy with Trump. Based on the appointments Biden is making, we are going to see a corrupt repeat of Democratic Party insiders from the Obama/Biden era plus some radicals to placate the more radical portion of the Democratic base.

I fully expect that the Democrats will not be able to get conscientious among themselves, nor have the leadership to effectively implement programs. I expect lots of fumbling around with little results. People will see little progress either in improvement of our economy nor with keeping campaign promises. I expect that the House and Senate will return to Republican hands in two years at the next federal elections. If that happens, I expect Biden will be impeached in the House and possibly by the Senate.

Oh, well I and my family will survive this. I believe in the strength and resiliency of the American people.

I am waiting for the first Biden-ordered invasion of a foreign country. The safe bet is that there won't be a Congressional vote on it.

I am going to mercilessly remind my Democrat friends that The Bad Orange Man didn't start any wars, worked to get out of the ones he inherited, and then brokered several peace deals.

Your post, “What will they impeach Biden for?”

We learned from the recent House Impeachment of Trump that it doesn’t have to be a crime. I think with Joe, they will find a bunch of crimes, involving money from Ukraine, China, Iran, etc.
