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.

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?

Well, if you are just doing it to be annoying, I know what to do about that and no more being annoyed;)  Thanks for enlightening me about your motives.   Bye.

Walked into what?

I find plenty of opinions that I agree with from a variety of sources.

I often choose the Daily Wire, but only link a very small percentage of the ones they publish.

The ones I do link to are well thought out, and are backed of with facts.

Inevitablly, many here are unable to debate the topic the opinion discusses.  They go for for degrading the source, and/or me, and refuse to acknowledge the truths contained within the opinion piece.

You mean like liking trump? 

The moment you establish someone is a *** artist, even though decency says that you should give them a listen, you have to always consider that it might be *** they will be spewing and the amount of time that it would take to separate the wheat from the chaff, ENSURES THAT I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING THEY HAVE TO SAY OR OFFER! 

The same applies to publications or any other sources of information. I always begin with Huffington Post, only because they always list the headlines of what's going on. I will almost never read anything they print because it's almost always sensationalism. A few of their articles are actually really well written but it takes too much time and effort to find them. 

Then I move on to the serious publications that rarely disappoints. I never watch TV news sources except for the BBC, Danish or Swedish news for unbiased, international news! 

You absolutely do not seem to understand that you are DEFINED BY YOUR CHOICES! 

Everything practically that happens to you is a result of your choices and INFORMATION SPECIFICALLY determines your choices. Food, Entertainment, Education etc etc. Too much Na, and what happens? An uneducated person won't know! 

You are defined by your statements Beerman. You seem unable to differentiate between a Pelosi with measured, thoughtful speech and a MJT who is as crude as possible or a lying two face untrustworthy Lindsay Graham and a quiet, cultured Chuck Schumer. You seem drawn to loud, abrasive, pathological people and it says everything about you! 

This is not an attack on you, just an attempt to give you some insight into all of the bad things that happen to you. You mix with unsavory characters and they will always disappoint you no matter how many platitudes and compliments you initially get! Scorpion, fox, river! And I am sure that those bad choices also include food, exercise and relaxation. Your blood pressure, anger issues and frustration levels? I don't even know you, but I am willing to bet, not good! 

Almost 99% of the people I know that trump appeals to, have those issues! And they are all, 100% dubious characters! And the hypocrisy, man, it's through the roof! Go to church every Sunday and Media, alcohol and exotic clubs during the week. Big up the police and always breaking the law. And it's the ease with which they do it. No guilt or shame, AND the DOUBLING DOWN is enough to make you want to throw up!

I'm quite able to debate topics. 

Credibility of sources matter...garbage in = garbage out. It's pretty evident that you are enamored with the thinking and opinions of Knowles and Shapiro.  

Acknowledging truths is not something that the typical Trump supporter is very good at.  You should start the debates about your posts by commenting on the truths that you believe are contained in the opinions.

You may very well be able to debate topics, but seldom do.  Your go to is to discredit, degrade, insult, etc. the other side.

Just as you did here, btw.  LOL. 

I can start a debate how I choose.  You can ignore it, comment on the points within it, or do what you usually do,and take the easy way out and complain about it's bias and Trump supporters.

I don't value the opinions you share as fact and I let you know why.  It's not possible to have a serious debate with Trump supporters who have demonstrated for 4 years that they don't read credible news sources, don't believe most of the credible reporting about Trump's corruption, and will believe the most ridiculous nonsense about Trump if delivered by just the right liar.  A good example would be the widespread belief that the Mueller report exonerated Trump or that there is reason to be suspicious about the 2020 election results or processes. How do you debate with people who for years have been living in and sharing a delusion about who and what Trump represents in American politics? 

The concerns about Biden published so far are exclusively based in right wing rhetoric and political propaganda. The hand wringing by right wing pundits is note worthy.

To be insulted for posting a source just to be annoying.

As Biden faces a fall full of challenges like the border, the mess in Afghanistan, climate disasters and the economy he's slipping in the polls and which brings him to Trump territory.  

I can't imagine why in 2021 someone would poll who would you vote for in 2024 Trump or Biden but they can't help themselves.  Trump is now edging ahead, but clearly means Trump or his ideas isn't going away even if he doesn't run, which is why people I suppose are still going to bring him up.

Also interesting that about 30% want someone else other than Biden.  Which would be okay.  If the sitting President isn't whom you want, then try someone else.  I wish Republicans would do the same and find someone other than Trump.

Fair enough, which is why I sometimes look at Fox because while they spin and focus on anti-Biden and Democrats and give Republicans a platform, they don't necessarily lie.  

Still sometimes I just can't get through your sources like the Ben Shaprio one.  I'm not interested in his truths or opinions.  Trump was catty...when he would say something like "pencil neck", he'd get an automatic shut off because I just couldn't listen.  

I feel the same about people like Tucker Carlson, Ann Coulter and left wing sites like Alternet.  It's just too ugly, even if there might be some truth buried beneath it.

Didn't realize I was.  I guess it wasn't a very clever insult.
