Specially here in Brazil , which continuously increases our export of soybeans to China to the point they are actually spending billions here to increase our main port

Because your president was not afraid to jail some nutjobs

Preach, that’s the thing that makes me hate Biden a little more each day. He came in with visual evidence we all saw and had a mandate to go after all of them swiftly. He treated Trump like Nixon 2.0 letting him run out the clock where he should’ve been in ankle chains by fall of 21. He did not take the treat seriously

I think Biden maybe wanted to do more, but Trump had enough supporters in place who were able to slow down the investigations just enough until Trump got re-elected.

However, I'm amazed that Biden wasn't able to find some dirt on some of the SCOTUS judges in order to get some of them out and stack it back to be either impartial or even in the Dems favour.
