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.

Well at least they didn't refer to you being a Nazi or a white supremacists . Which this "crowd" usually do with opposing opinions. Even when they do not know your race! 

It's not "usually" done, but yes I've heard those references.  

Just like the one recently that liberals support black supremacy and racists, hate America, socialists, libtards, etc.  

Too bad people have to resort to that.

I've been here for awhile.  Going back to the Obama years.  Believe me, I've been called those as well as other things.

I think you have to consider the agenda of those presenting the clips "when you look at clips of him it's obvious he's demented".  

To me listening to the clip I posted of Biden looking robust and enjoying a bike ride on a weekend,  and listening to the comments of the reporter saying that his staff has to schedule a break from his duties because he can't handle his duties obviously shows the agenda. of Fox News and the conservative press and Republicans in general.  There was no clip of him acting demented this past week so they made one up.  

A case can be made that he enjoyed his bike ride while blowing off questions from reporters, but a lot of times Presidents do this.  Trump very often went golfing and didn't want to talk to reporters.  Obama famously ignored reporters.

I think that he does look and sound older than the he did four years ago, but then again so does my 88 year old father.

You don't need clips with commentary from Fox News.  You could watch his first news conference, for example.  Flipping through a binder. seeming confused at times.  Saying on one issue "I don't know how much detail you want. Maybe I should stop."

How about when he tells reports, "I'm not supposed to be answering questions"?

Personally, I think he is suffering from dementia.  I acknowledge that could be debated.  What's remarkable is that many won't even acknowledge he is definitely in decline.  I'd bet a paycheck he won't last his term.

Yeah. Nothing like being called a white supremacists when you are not even white but they assume all POC think exactly the same. I'm sure many assumed I was white because of my opinion. Sounds a little racist don't ya think?

Yeah well a few thought I was white, refered to me as white supremacists because they think all POC think alike and only have opinions that match that of democrat.  Which is kinda racist. It happens allot.

Again...none of what you describe is alarming, particularly when contrasted with the fellow who would be president had your judgement about competence and intellectual capacity prevailed in the 2020 presidential election or on January 6. The fellow you support is not only predictably corrupt and incompetent, he is terrible orator with a real habit of verbal rants, with delusion and lies mixed in the word salad.

Well. We will see in 2024 won't we?

Maybe you should start a thread about liberal members of allnurses where you might muse about how silly liberal concerns about racism or misogyny appear in the conservative world.

Like you and your obsessive "conservatism bad for democracy thread"? Nah. I really do not feel a need to spout...what is it you always say?.... Propaganda?

Yes we will see. 

We won't have to wait to know that Trump will run on the issues of voter fraud and immigrants.  We won't have to wait to know that Trump's campaign will be fraught with lies and deceit.  We won't have to wait to see that Trump voters will limit their media consumption to that which is uncritical of Trump.  

What we will have to wait to see is if republican led states will actually hold free and fair elections or if their elected legislators will decide what the vote totals should be. We will have to see if republicans are really going to break our republic to gain and maintain political power.

Yeah. If you want to just talk about liberals and their agenda you should start a thread. At least you could take your preferred topic to the "Topical" thread rather than highjacking this thread about the POTUS.

Hey Beerman, did you hear that Biden's Aviator glasses has a secret x-ray component so he can take pics of women? 

Pretty slick for an old doddering relic, right? I think that's why it seems he's misspeaking sometimes, he's busy clicking the button taking pictures ?????
