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.

A pass? What fo you think is happening with Biden right now? A pass in the most disgusting way possible....  who decides the li3d:m you?

Sure.

Yeah...people who pay attention get to decide what are lies and what is truth. Those who don't pay attention are happy to accept alternate truths from people who are happy to lie for Trump or for their own personal political objectives.

I'm not new to this thread and have been personally called some of those things by the member I posted about. However I do not understand as I do not place people in groups like republican or Trumper or any collective group labeling. 

You could just directly address me and your sense of victimhood.  I do place people in the group of Trump supporter.  It's common to group like things for ease of discussion.  Trump supporters are unlike any other American group in our history but they are similar to some historical groups in Europe in their willingness to believe divisive and dangerous lies.

In your opinion. I am not a victim and someone like you could never victimize me LOL. You clump people in allot of groups actually. 

Is that a Nazi reference?

OK then, that's out of the way.  Yes, I group like thinking and voting people for ease of discussion.  

The reference was to the gullible people who believed the lies of authoritarians in Europe. Yes, some of those gullible historical Europeans were caught up in the divisiveness of the Nazis.  It's interesting that the same dishonest tactics apparently work for modern conservative Americans.

Republicans and Trumpers are different categories.  You are new to this thread so don't know who us what.  The venom is directed to Trumpers .  Personally, I don't give Republicans a pass anymore since Trump.  He's no Republican and I can't respect anyone who voted for him.  Most people are brainwashed by their upbringing  and don't really think about politics in a serious way. But you need to go through thus entire thread before you decide to castigate someone.

Exactly (italics added).  It has nothing to do with the type of labeling that people usually complain about, when the point is they feel the "label" is obscuring some unique characteristic of their political beliefs.

As far as I'm concerned, there is no sliding scale of Trump supporter, as there is for the traditional yardsticks we use to define left, right and center in this country.  

Trump never offered a coherent strategy in either foreign or domestic affairs.  He's a dangerous, corrupt, remorseless man who knowingly lies to his followers, appealing to their most base sentiments.

So even if you think you're a "soft" Trumper, you're no different than a full-on cult member, or someone who mentions how great the autobahn is in a discussion of the Nazi dictator.

Well the same could be said about Marxists "democrats" who spout out ideas very simular to that of the Nazis(most certainly not all democrats)' . You do not group people for conviencience, you do it because you don't like what they say, then try to asighn something bad to silence them. 

Call them Trump cult members or white supremacists thinking this might scare them to keep their mouth shut. Which if you think about it is something Nazis' would do.

So you think Trumpers, Democrats and Republicans are all alike?  This is a political forum, not Next Door;)

Haha.  One thing Trump never does is keep his mouth shut. I  doubt that anyone can scare a Trumper to do anything..   They have all the guns!  Do you find Democrats so intimidating?  We only use violence of the tongue.

I call bs on this. I am old enough to remember Nixon, Agnew and St. Ronnie and all the names they called liberals back then. Then there’s libtards and snowflakes and SJWs etc, etc. No one has a corner on name-calling or using language to intimidate.

So, anyway, who’s making all the death threats, promising “second amendment remedies” for everything and threatening to storm everything from school boards to state houses? Which is more intimidating - a bad word or a gun?

Of course, since you conflated Marxism and Nazism, I’m not surprised that your knowledge base seems a bit wobbly.

I was referring to a member using language as a means to shut down differing opinions. Of course Nazism and Marxism are different. However, Hitler convinced an almost entire country that one group was responsible for the others suffering. The oppressed and the oppressors. Sound familiar? 

You seem to be confused. I'm not saying Republicans good, democrats bad or Visa versa. I do not group people by groups at all. I was referring to one member on this site. 

Don't be disingenuous.  If we must talk group, lots of threats of violence from individual a-holes on either side.

Please cite threats of violence on this thread.

Well I'm not sure. Perhaps you can tell me what a "Trumper", a "Democrat or a "Republican" is?
