Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

"You either die a villain or live long enough to become a hero" is apparently the Mitt Romney story
Romney got rich by running a chop shop for companies before he ever decided to be a politician. He was never anything but the villain.
I wonder what he means that Biden is under investing on military spending towards China? Is there some defense spending bill that he has vetoed?
Nope. Romney just needed to "both sides" here, so he made something up out of the air.
I don't like this guy, but he's right. Japan still has ex-PM Taro Aso in a ministerial position, and the guy has been a mummy for decades and can barely walk in a straight line.
What he's saying is right, but what he's implying is bullshit. Trump and Biden are not equally bad.
I'd never compare Biden and Trump. One is a career politician, the other a clumsy mob boss.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The announcement was in some ways the culmination of a long divergence between Mr. Romney, a genteel and wealthy former governor and traditional conservative, and the Republican Party, which has veered sharply to the right and embraced a coarser brand of partisanship in recent years.
Mr. Romney has joined an array of bipartisan “gangs” seeking to take on major policy issues — including infrastructure, gun safety and overhauling the Electoral Count Act — but rarely sought to lead those efforts.
In the video, Mr. Romney said that neither Mr. Biden nor Mr. Trump, the current front-runner for the Republican nomination, was addressing the nation’s most critical challenges, including climate change, authoritarian threats from Russia and China and mounting debt.
The statement came amid renewed scrutiny of the age of Mr. Biden and other prominent elected officials including Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, 81, the longtime Republican leader whose recent health issues have raised questions about whether he is fit to continue in his post.
Mr. Romney, who describes his career in politics as a moral mission driven by his Mormon faith, has in recent years been marginalized in a party that has shifted to the right under the sway of Mr. Trump.
The book’s impending release already has his colleagues concerned about their private thoughts and conversations regarding the party’s vengeful presidential front-runner being aired publicly.
The original article contains 847 words, the summary contains 226 words. Saved 73%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
We need a new generation of bible bashers
