President Biden thread

Published

Wow.  No one has started such a thread yet?

After promising that most K-8 students would be in schools in the first 100 days,  apparently Joe is afraid to lead on this and has drastically scaled back that goal.

Instead, we're shooting for about half to go to school at least one day a week,  by the end of April.

Damn, that has got to hurt, being beaten up by a guy with dementia ??????

And he quotes from the Daily Wire:(  Yeah, that's an outlet anyone with skepticism  takes seriously.  British yellow journalism for people who like to keep up with movie stars and their scandals.

At least he or she quotes her or his sources.  This is something that those on the left don't have to do, or receive a pass on when they claim they are unable to post a link.

Sure.

Generalizations about those on the right is bad but not about those on the left.

Sometimes I can't get a link to work but at least the source is posted if the reader is interested.  Otherwise I challenge you to prove this.

Please explain exactly how I am a saying that "[g]eneralizations about those on the right [are] bad but not about those on the left."

Really?  This, in my opinion, is not the standard that those on the right are held to.  And, it seems suspicious to me that there have only been two members that have claimed this.  And both were members that obviously were left of center.

Are you not the member who regularly implies that all conservatives or republicans are somehow generalized into some unwanted category by liberal member comments?

You don't see that bolded language as a generalization?

Yes.  And actually by the comments of several liberal members.

Not at all, as some (many) on the left seem to give @subee a pas.  I know the several members on the left gave @LilNell a pass on this.

If it was just two members.

If they claim that can't post a link then yes, they get a pass because I have to take it as face value and believe them.  

We tried to explain to Lil Nel how to do it from her phone and she still said she couldn't do it.  So yeah a pass.  Why wouldn't you give a pass when they provide enough information.  If someone on the right offered this explanation as to why they don't source I've give them a pass too if they say "look it up on Daily Wire" or something like that.  Why not?

It's when someone says something like "Obama let 10,000 terrorists in through New Orleans" and just leaves it at that, that I get annoyed and say "I can't find a source, please provide it".    

Still often when someone on the left doesn't quote a source doesn't mean I'm giving them a pass, it's more likely I didn't read their ramble.

If they provide the information.  And, if this is reciprocated.  However, in my opinion, this where the problem arises.

And so address it with the member rather than generalizing to liberal as a group...just like is done over and over in threads.  It's like you are expecting some group correction.

I mostly do it anymore just to annoy certain people.

This particular story refers to a USA article, and also attributes quotes to Psaki.  What in the article do you think in accurate?
