It's not, as I stated earlier.

It's not, as will become clear in the next post or so.

What I really don't get is, you have over 400.000 dead number increasing by 3.000 each day (I don't have the latest figures) from a virus that was contained in march and miraculously disappeared in beautiful april (the only month ever being sexually harrassed by a US persident). Millions of people now have preexisting condition and in some places your doctors have to make some very difficult decisions. quite frankly, when it comes to the pandemic, the US looks more like a third world country.

And when finally someone sits down with a plan and takes action, all you can do is complain about how diverse his cabinet is and what busts he has in his office.
What's wrong with you?

Instead of making yourself look like a fool (oops, too late!), you could've done a very brief google search to find out why people are saying that.

I'm really not sure if there's a grain of truth in the article below but if there is, there's probably more 'stories' out there and a possibility of a best selling book in the future.

Quote:
The Bidens were momentarily left to wait outside the White House in an awkward moment on Inauguration Day, possibly as a result of a final “petty” act by the Trump administration.

On Wednesday, Joe Biden was inaugurated as the 46th president at a ceremony at the US Capitol, following which the couple was given a military escort to their new home.

Later, as the Bidens walked up the steps to enter the executive mansion, pausing to wave before turning to enter, the much anticipated moment fell flat as the doors failed to open and the couple was left on the doorstep.

According to The National Journal, a well-placed official not associated with the incoming Biden team told the newspaper: "The Trumps sent the butlers home when they left so there would be no one to help the Bidens when they arrived."

“So petty,” the official reportedly added.

It is officially unclear exactly what caused the delay at the doors, which are usually opened by Marine guards.

Notably, the chief usher Timothy Harleth who had been scheduled to welcome the Bidens to the White House in the absence of Mr Trump, had been also abruptly fired five hours earlier.

Well said. Yes, I agree there needs to be some level of "social security". I would argue that having too much is a bad thing and that's where most in our society are looking.

Rich millionaires deciding what poor people get is already a form of socialism

The word tyranny would be a better adjective, wouldn't you say?

This qualifies for the strangest post of the new thread so far. And guess who's come up with it.

Pray harder for some insight.

Picking on me, because I can see where Biden is leading us (the USA) with open borders, free education, free medical, free anything as long as you vote for him and his party.

No this is not the strangest post, but the truest post

Explain why Biden's presidency now suddenly leads to "rich millionaires deciding what poor people get" with a rich millionaire just voted out of the White House.

Wow talk about taking a 180 degrees turn.

While our older US-Politics thread was permeated with critical and sometimes hateful comment on US former President.
Then this thread here is permeated with critical and sometimes hateful comment on current President of USA.

I did not pick on you other than pointing out that your idea of socialism is... plain wrong. That had nothing to do with Biden or the policies he's pursuing.
But while we're at it:

[...]free education, free medical,[...]
I'm again guessing that you're not one of those that make 25 million a year, so - would that not benefit you personally? why would you be against it so desparately?
