They've chopped down cherry trees and waged full-on war. Riding the highs and lows of the leaders who've tried to Make America Great Again.
Politics
Is that flag held high?Proud?That is the America I thought I lived in, it is the one I thought I grew up in. As a senior in high school I put flags on my car, I thought America was great!I still do, I feel like we have made bad choices that in time we will recover from and move on. Currently I cannot see the light in the tunnel and it is very grim. In the state that I lived growing up people actually were moving from overseas to the area, looking for a better life. I was happy with them. I watched my parents go through the voting and current elections at that time President Bush. There were moments of chaos surely behind the scenes but never did it get to a point that I felt like we could go to war in our own countries. So finally I got to the age myself where I can vote and I get all excited! Obviously you never know if who you vote for will end up doing all the things you felt passionate about but you definitely do not ever think you will have supported someone who does not even like you. The reality of this is unreal unthinkable how could one of the soil of a country with people all over the world merged together? How could we accidentally vote in someone be excited about someone? The past election was evident that it's time to change the way we do things and that apparently regular elections are a thing of the past maybe we should do in order to get into the police department. All in all and despite negative information I was a trumpster I got to a point where I felt he was like a person in school whom the popular kids pick on someone who had not been in this country only. In conclusion it is not at all the fact that he lost the election that part was shocking. It was not the part that we did not know he had faults for me it was therapeutic to say even the president of the free world has it's faults. I had through the last twenty years began to realize there are no perfect people we mess up we have faults. The hardest part of moving on is the realization that we had in fact voted in someone who does not even like my relatives based on just the color of their skin not anything else they had done to identify with him.It's predicting unbelievably shocking it's painful (I was curious), how is the brown or any nationality in the White House other than Caucasian dealing with alongside a man who was born? Fact is when it all hits the fan through the confusion we can all clearly see it never was about someone being prejudiced or even discriminated against. I believe that even if the media had it wrong apparently there were far more people in the nation who thought he was not qualified due to a lack of getting the job done in a professional manner which would be in this case presidental manner. I have not been in the white house before so I have to compare to what I have experienced and once I had a boss he got along with everyone he laughed, he sympathized but the customers problems were not being noticed. Eventually the company brought a new person on board they were quiet and did not really care about random chitchat, however, customers were giving a five star rating on how they were taken care of. It is the way the world sometimes the quiet ones get more done (lesson learned).

President Elect Biden
President Elect Biden, I was thrilled when you were finally announced the title. Unfortunately my state was not one that went Blue, but I was hoping it would have. We don’t see many politicians come to our town, or even talk about our town when it comes to issues like the virus. I feel as though we are left behind, but the other half of our state gets all the attention, because of Trump. I am talking about Florida. South Florida gets all the media and all the rallies, but we here in the Panhandle or Northwest Florida are forgotten.

The political turning over in Latin America while the AI revolution reshapes Eastern Asia
Bolivia changed their political course in a historic presidential election last Sunday. The economist Luis Arce Catacora, former Evo Morales economy secretary, is the country’s new president. The former president Morales resigns under the military and opposition in November of 2015.

The Hero of the Tragedy at the peak of Power
He has been the victim of many tragedies in his personal life. The ambitions of politics have been dusted off more than once. He wanted to leave everything and commit suicide. Even after stumbling again and again, he stood up again. Won the election as the 46th President of the United States.

An Open Letter to President-Elect Biden
Dear President-Elect Biden, I want to congratulate you on your election to be the 46th President of the United States of America. It's hard to imagine what a sense of accomplishment one must feel to be elected to, what is viewed by many, as the highest office in the world. During a most interesting year, amidst all types of perilous conditions, it must feel all the sweeter. As you prepare for your inauguration, I hope that you feel the support of Americans and that you have ample time and space with your family to consider and reflect on this moment. Please, receive my words of congratulations among the many I'm sure you have already and will continue to receive.

none of the above
From the other side of the pond the us election looks like a vote for Trump or the one that isn't Trump. The one that isn't Trump appears to be on the verge of a narrow victory while the one that is Trump is launching court appeals like a machine gun. Naturally where trump gets a winning vote its all ok, and of course where he's not winning is dodgy and biased. It must be that obvious on both sides of the ocean but I do sometimes wonder.

A Tale of Neglect
Recently the death toll in US due to corona-virus passed 150,000 and US has been leading on daily covid cases for quite a while now. As the trump administration plays blame game on governors and health officials, we look at the real reasons that led to so many cases in spite of warnings from top health officials like Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Have Respect For The Presidential Candidates
These are tweets from both presidential candidates. I read a tweet from Joe Biden: It's time we remember who we are as Americans: we treat each other with dignity and respect, we leave nobody behind, and we give hate no safe harbor. We are everything that Donald Trump is not. - Joe Biden
