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.

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.

The Ben Shapiro site has much more then his opinions.  In fact, a vast majority of the ones I post are not from him.

I agree, some are over the top.  They come from both sides.

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

You were but you have thick skin.  LOL

Like Fox News, he does tend to be truthful, if it fits his agenda, I  just didn't listen after his critique of Biden was that he was old and decrepit which was catty.   Now he seems offended that in the Amazon Cinderella  remake the fairy God mother is genderless and played by Billy Porter.  Most people are focusing on the empowerment of Cinderella as a strong women.   Still, he's not Tucker Carlson who wrote the book on being decisive and catty.

The Cinderella story.....I had no idea what you were talking about.  Tried to find something on line in regards to Shapiro and this story, but didn't.  All I found was a daily wire story from May that didn't seem very opinionated.

Did you actually see/hear something that he was offended?  Or just another liberal somewhere was making stuff up?

It's on his Twitter and not necessarily "a story".   Maybe he wasn't even "offended" as I said.

 If you Google his name it's the first tweet that I see meaning it's the one that's probably trending on his feed the most. It has nearly 600 comments, over 1,000 shares and 17,000 "likes".  Granted he only made two posts about it  and he's not making that big of a deal about it that he wrote about it on DW but it does continue to let me know about him.  

Billy Porter said said that "magic is not genderless" and he said "No, but Godmothers typically do" (meaning I guess fairy Godmothers have a gender and it's female) and then "It's in the word "Godmothers"

I honestly try my best not to post made up stuff, although I might exaggerate some or elevate something of importance to me that you think is trivial.

This is the disingenuous type of comment that makes it impossible to have a discussion with a Trump supporter. There are layers of dishonesty, insult and ignorance layered into a couple sentences. 

Projection reigns supreme in the world of Trump.

To be fair (although the snide comment wasn't necessary) Beerman looked for the story before asking me about it.  He treated me fairly and asked for clarification.  My bad for not sourcing my statement which annoys me when people do it to me.  LOL

However, it's sad to see that so many people look at the news and dismiss it as fake news when clearly it isn't.

I know you don't make up stuff.  But there are many liberal talking heads who do, or who quote Shapiro and Limbaugh types out of context.  I thought maybe you heard something from one of them.

Totally agree.   I usually try to check out the context of something outrageous.  

Such as I saw a meme about this:    https://www.alternet.org/2021/08/pete-buttigieg/

Fox News has the transcript:    https://www.foxnews.com/transcript/fox-news-Sunday-on-august-8-2021

CNBC carried the story like this:     https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/05/buttigieg-not-sure-why-musks-tesla-snubbed-from-biden-clean-car-event.html

Also people like MTG and Palin for example are victims of a lot of made up memes parading their perceived stupidity.  

BTW, Daily Wire is now covering a story about Cinderella.

To be fair...Palin isn't known for intellectual conversation or debate around her home town of Wasilla.  The Palin family is known for religious rhetoric and drunken drama...often involving tears, alternative facts and guns.

That's why so many of the fake memes get passed around, but it does sound like some stupid shyte she would say.  LOL

I don't really engage much in social media...so I miss most of the memes.  The actual news and reporting isn't very flattering for Palin.
