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 don't know. Good question!! Ask baloney, she keeps bringing her up! 

You are confused.  I keep bringing up Trump but you projected to Clinton early on and I responded with a bit of reality.

I'm not unfamiliar with Canada.  Actually I live 4 hours north of the southern Canadian border and they English no better or worst than Americans.  So no, mind not blown.  Please let me know where I said that everyone has the same opinion.  I try not to speak in opinionese.  And when I do, I give it the old IMHO to let the listerner know that this is my opinion for whatever it is worth.  But I don't confuse opinions with facts.  You are the one that has conflated a group with your assigned lies with your above "pigs in a blanket" tripe about ALL Dems being supporters of BLM violence.  You are brainwashed if you believe that.

Oh. You live 4 hrs from the Canadian border? Did you know that vocabulary, accent and figures of speech can vary greatly from East to West? Even from the interior to the northern territories! It's kind of like how people from New York sound a quite a bit different than people from Texas! Yup, same up here in Canada! . Well it makes sense because Canada is large. However you knew all this because you are "familiar" and live 4 hrs from the border"! Thank you though for telling me a Canadian who lives in Canada that our English is just as good as America! 

"Opinionese if offensive and derogatory to Asians BTW. Didn't say all dems are anything.

Right, Black Lives Matter is a civil rights movement.  As with the civil rights movement of the 1960s and those before, it is a threat to white nationalism in this country.  So the white nationalist work very hard to support the narrative that black and brown people gathering together to fight for social justice is a threat to this country.  It is not!

No one in Black Lives Matter supports violence that occurred during any protests.  However, many of the ones in the Summer of 2020 were infiltrated by Nazi distractors and instigators in order to confuse, misinform, and destroy the movement.  It did not work.  And further misinformation from posters here and elsewhere will not destroy the movement.  

Black Lives Matter movement is peaceful and for social justice.  Black Lives Matter, in fact, has support of good police officers.  The Nazis and white nationalist that are against social justice and peace for all in this country are being forced out of police departments across the country.  The police officers that are working to rid the police force of the cancer of racism are empowered by Black Lives Matter and will continue to be so.   

And if you believe this than you are as brainwashed as the "Trumpers"! Perhaps in the very beginning BLM was those things but not anymore. Or at the very least small genuine chapters are being completly over run with the few "violent mostly peaceful protesters".  And until they march right in to Chicago and tell those people that their lives matter especially the children and babies that have been shot..... They and their self professed "trained Marxist" founder that wants to dismantle the nuclear family, sells her million dollar mansions(money she stole from BLM), her and the rest can sit back down. 

The best is the last paragraph. Please cite your source for that one! LOL. Or don't.  I'm sure I can Google and contradiction that with another source, you can come back and contradict me....

Oh and infiltrated by "nazis"? . Just like Jan 6 was infiltrated by "antifa" and left wing extremists"? Right....... You know, both sides of the ridiculous radicals(left to right) say the same thing about each other! It's sad but hilarious!

Yes!! You bring up Trump allot. And in other threads that have nothing to do with him or conservatives! And even start thread specific to denounce conservative and their threat to democracy.  LOL

That's correct.  Trump remains a very important figure that is directing the course of American conservative politics. That direction is, as evidenced by the pervasive lies about election integrity and other emotional triggers for the cult like voting base, a very dangerous movement that threatens the foundations of our republic. It's important for well informed patriots to speak unequivocally against the facist tactics currently employed by republican law makers and political leaders. That means that we need to talk about that leader that promotes tyrannical behaviors and attitudes among republican leadership...you know, THAT guy that nobody wants to talk about anymore.  

What could heal the unnecessary divides in this country if there is no accountability for intentionally and deliberately lying to the public about very important things? There can be no unity when that unity requires acceptance of dangerous ideology from powerful people. There can be no unity when that unity requires that we be willing to sacrifice our election processes to fear or sacrifice the health of our children, communities or economy for political ideology or contrived distrust of authority figures.  

 A large number of Americans have been indoctrinated into an uncompromising mindset. Social media is accelerating and amplifying that divisive indoctrination.  The targeted people are responding to propaganda in predictable ways.  Some of them are being radicalized and January 6 was a small reflection of that radicalized extremism.  The longer we ignore it and pretend that this corrupted thinking is not important, the more organized and emboldened the authoritarian (and his sycophants) become. 

Biden will be another president trying to make his country better in some way.  He hasn't and won't always get that right, like Bush or Clinton or Obama.  The notion that Biden is incompetent or intends harm is simply propaganda and leans more toward projection. It's difficult to have any manner of reasonable discussion with anyone who holds such unreasonable beliefs...especially if that "anyone" also believes that Trump was a good president or that there is cause to limit or more closely control voting because of the 2020 election cycle.

I never said Americans speak English better than Canadians.  You must hold your anger in and read what folks are actually writing.   You are all testosterone toxic over something that you made up.  And this is a thread about President Biden anyway.  Why does he make you so angry when he's not even your president?  We here in America had to carry the onus of Trumpism , not you.  So he has to come up a lot since he has affected some people disproportionately than others.  He wasn't YOUR  problem to bear.

I didn't say you said American can speak better than Canadians. I said we speak different from each other depending on where in Canada you live. Just like the US. I live 10 min from the US border so maybe that's why I know. 

Did you know that you can be citizen of the US and Canada at the same time? Also you can immigrate from Canada to the US and visa versa? Or did you assume all immigrants come from central/south America and the Middle East?   My father was a Marine and fought for his country.  So that's why I care!! I also have voting rights. Yup the good ol' absentee ballots. Testosterone? Did you assume my gender? 

I'm not angry at all. I voted, so he was my president. And unfortunately Biden is now my president as well....

And I will respect Biden as the POTUS and give him the respect he deserves.  He was elected by the people same as Trump. Even though I do not particularly like him or what he dies, I still respect him.

Biden is being taken advantage of. IMHO.  It's fine to not like people who like Trump. What's not okay is to assign negative hot words like white supremacists, nazis or conspiracy theorist because you want to shut down opposing opinions!! A little fascist on a smaller scale don't ya think? Or bigoted at the least. 

I would have expected more from a person who works in Healthcare. You probably wouldn't treat a patient properly or at all if they were a Trump supporter. Or an "angry white man".  By the way you sound. It's probably a good thing you are retired. 

I don't agree with anything you say really but I'm not going to call you bad names so you will stop talking. I actually want to hear opposing opinions.Thats why I chose this thread to read sprcifically. So I could develop my own opinions on Biden because non bias info is hard to come by. I have changed my mind before and am open to changing it again. You? Not a chance. You have free speech say what you want ,but do not call me and other people nasty names because you do not agree. 

Do you stock pile these rants and copy paste them from a special file on your computer or something? 

One question. Do any if you think Trump won in 2016 fair and square? Or not?
