    There are some on this board that are very happy about the (un-certified) results of the recent Presidential election.

    If so, then exactly why do you think he will be good for America.
    Please give specific examples. Do a bit of research - and use actual
    facts to back up your claim.
    Do not say "Biden is so concerned " or Biden will destroy the Trump accomplishments.
    As I mentioned before - use specific examples. Find actual quotes, ect. But insure
    that the info is correct.
    If you think Biden will not do a great job - DO NOT POST HERE - use this Thread -- Why Joe Biden will not be good for America


    Posts that do not comply - WILL BE deleted.

    If you must get something off your chest about Joe Biden - do it here: Things I want to get off my chest about Joe Biden

    Biden will be better at foreign relations. I hope he keeps up the all-important close friendship with Israel.

    Not following you here. Based on what exactly? And "I hope" means nothing.

    Biden on relations with Israel:

    from Views on Israel of U.S. Presidential Candidates 2020: Joe Biden

    The United States-Israel Relationship
    • “I do compliment the president on the [UAE peace] deal with Israel recently.” (ABC Townhall, October 15, 2020)

    • Regarding peace with the Gulf states: “I think Trump is going to accidentally do something positive here, in terms of this issue of… other Arab states.” (Times of Israel, September 11, 2020)

    • “Israel should stop expanding West Bank settlements, stop talk of annexation,” Biden said. “Annexation is off the table now, which is a good thing.”

    • Netanyahu has been “yielding to the far-right of his party to maintain support.” (Haaretz, September 11, 2020)

    • Speaking following the announcement of the UAE and Israel formalizing relations: “Today, Israel and the United Arab Emirates have taken a historic step to bridge the deep divides of the Middle East. The UAE’s offer to publicly recognize the State of Israel is a welcome, brave, and badly-needed act of statesmanship. And it is a critical recognition that Israel is a vibrant, integral part of the Middle East that is here to stay. Israel can and will be a valued strategic and economic partner to all who welcome it … a Biden-Harris Administration will seek to build on this progress, and will challenge all the nations of the region to keep pace.” (The Hill, August 13, 2020)

    • During a conversation with Jewish donors, Biden said Washington “cannot fully safeguard Israelis without peace.”

      “I do not support annexation,” he said. “Israel needs to stop the threats of annexation and stop settlement activity because it will choke off any hope of peace.”

      Biden said annexation would not get a “green light” or recognition from his administration.

      “The Palestinians need to end incitement in the West Bank and rocket attacks in Gaza,” Biden said. “What they are teaching in their schools is still in the schoolbooks. No matter what legitimate disagreement they may have with Israel, it’s never a justification for terrorism, and no leader should fail to condemn as terrorists those who commit these brutalities.”

      “The Palestinians needs to accept once and for all reality and Israel’s right to have a secure democratic Jewish state in the Middle East. And Israel needs to stop the threats of annexation, stop settlement activity because it will choke off any hope of peace.”

      Biden said the Palestinian Authority should “acknowledge, flat-out, Israel’s right to exist — period – as an independent Jewish state and guarantee the borders.”

      “I’m going to fully support the Taylor Force Act, which holds aid to the PA based on payments they make to terrorists in Israeli jails.” Biden also said he would restore funding to the Palestinian Authority for security cooperation with Israel.

      “I’m going to reverse Trump’s administration steps [that] I think significantly undercut the prospects of peace and restore diplomatic relationships with the Palestinian Authority and assistance to support the Israeli Palestinian security cooperation and economic, humanitarian aid for Palestinian people.”

      He said Israel should stop settlement activity, but “we also shouldn’t let the Palestinians off the hook” for issues like incitement and support for terrorism.

      Biden assigned blame for the stalled peace process to Palestinian and Israeli leadership which are unwilling to take political risks through direct talks.

      “I know Bibi well, for over 40 years,” Biden stated. “This moves [him] so far to the right.” Biden clarified, however, that it “does not justify cutting military assistance to the state of Israel.”

      “My commitment to Israel is completely unshakable,” Biden said. “As president, I’m going to continue our security assistance under the historic memorandum of understanding that we signed together in 2016 and maintain Israel’s qualitative military edge. I’m not going to place conditions for the security assistance given the serious threats that Israel is facing, and this would be, I think, irresponsible.” (JewishInsider; Haaretz; Jerusalem Post, May 20, 2020)

    I for one will look forward to a more classical foreign policy. It is good for our allies in Europe, especially with Russia threatening the Soviet Union 2.0. We need to surround China with allies we are willing to die in arms with, even if it hurts us with a free trade deal. I take it that may happen now. Iran is not worth a war unless they make a break for a nuke, so hopefully we will have more peace. North Korea is heading to war, even if Trump had won, Kim is lying. However, I wonder if Biden has the wherewithal to defend us in this case. The GWOT goes on with no clue to it ending anytime soon. Biden isn't interventionist, I like that.

    Biden will enforce CDC guidelines, so finally the Coronavirus will get smashed.

    Immigration will be nicer. I support the Dreamers, and believe a legal and punitive path to citizenship should be offered. I hope Congress finally gets through something.

    Infrastructure is huge, we may see movement on it finally.

    OK, got anything concrete? I read "may" several times and "need" and "hopefully."

    The N Korea point sounds like why Biden will not be good for America.

    Any real reason to think the fluid CDC guidelines and Biden will quash the virus? Are you suggesting there will be no more BLM and Antifa "protests" under Biden? Kamala promised otherwise.

    By nicer immigration, do you mean letting in millions more illegals and allowing more trafficking?

    Biden will be good for LGBTQ+(pedo loving) americans. If he gets his policies enacted, LGBTQ+ people can apply for employment in private schools and religious based organizations where they can be no discrimination based on what the religious group believes is sexual immorality condemned by their God. So they can become openly gay priests and pastors , marry lesbians and homosexuals inside of baptist churches without fears of reprisals, become church employees, religious school teachers. Young minds will accept LGBTQ+ as normal acceptable to God sexuality.
    People in the church can openly display homosexual behaviors in front of the whole church, including young children. Movie nights could show homosexual themed promotional films of loving married gay couples. Church members who object could be ostracised and shunned as unloving of their gay christian brothers. All that would be good for the LGBTQ+(pedo loving) community in America.
    Here is how it is done in Episcopal churches to affirm homosexual sexual immorality as acceptable to God in the minds of the deceived.

    Biden will be good for America...the real America...because he and Harris will force the real Americans to see that he is not about being American. He and Harris is about destroying the American white culture and replacing it with black and immigrant culture.

    Until white Americans see it, they do not react. With Biden/Harris, they will see it. Biden and Harris will not unite, but will vividly display the division and act on behalf of blacks and minorities.

    Division is from God. See (1 Kings 12:1-33). Biden/Harris will force white people to recognize it is time to divide for the sake of God and unity of the Christian faith.

    And that is a good thing for America.

    Divide into 3 countries?
    We have the Blue west coast, east coast, then everything in the middle is very Red
    When you look at the House election map, clear to see where the issue exists and it is the big urban centers and the northeast.
    The LEFT and it's causes have become a religion with nature at its core.
    Genesis 1:28
    Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

    The LEFT thinks this is a bad idea, and they worship gaea, the earth as a goddess. So they are disobedient to the message from God.

    Memo to nature cultists: ‘Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it’

    He will force us to obey God by daily lifting him up in prayers, and also, he will force us to get much more "real" in our walk with Lord Jesus, as the climate that he helps usher in will be much worse to us then was under trump, and we will have to really start to practice what we preach!

    Where the division is finally settled, I don't know. This I do know...you still have the divide between the North and South being played out.
