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.

Again. It is HOW he withdrew them, not that he decided to. It was already decided. You know Trumps plan that Biden followed but not really? 

That makes no sense.

I was being sarcastic. It wasn't trumps plan. Only as  the scapegoat that it was Trumps plan and that's why it bombed. Biden gave an order contrary to what his advisors said. And lied about it. 

Trump's plan was actually to have all troops out, and actually sooner than when Biden ended up having them out.  You even pointed this out yourself earlier.

That would be a reasonable and logical assumption.

So Biden isn't doing anything and yet he is responsible for inflation?

I didn't say he wasn't doing anything.  It's more that he isn't accomplishing anything.

This is your question I replied to:

"Aren't these the same voters who think Biden isn't getting anything done? "

In fact, there was no plan.  Trump's team halted all state department processing of special VISAs for those women and children 

False. And, that process was not intended for mass evacuations.

What's happened to you Beerman? Did you get married or had some sort of an epiphany? 

You sound almost reasonable these days. You are less angry and more instrospective. Not complaining, because it's a much better state of mind for you, but you have changed.

You believe the Trumpian excuse to stop the sVISA processes, I'm not surprised.  I also don't pretend that Sullivan was the first or only person to mention the ways that Trump's team sabotaged processes and refused to participate in the peaceful transition of power.

It's funny that the Trump white house minimized and lied about covid relative to American mitigation but used the mitigation strategies to execute their anti immigrant agenda outside of the country. Funny in a dark humor way.

Yes. So Biden had more time and still failed. I posted a link and highlighted Trumps plan.

Just hold Biden to the scrutiny you held Trump. That's it. If any of the current issues were happening under Trump he would be a war criminal, impeach, impeach, ruined the economy, more concentration camps at the border  etc etc

Nice speculation.  Trump was rightly criticized for his dishonesty, corruption, and incompetent malfeasance.  Trump enjoyed 4 long years of chaos and abuse of power before his disqualifying character flaws caught up to him and he lost the House, the Senate and the presidency.  Projecting that historic failure onto his successor is sad.

You are totally around the bend, aren't you? Literally, bonkers? 

I wonder if I have any aspect of my life so delusional and no one is telling me? 

Seriously, not even some of the most floridly psychotic patients I run into, have it as bad as trumpistas?

The scrutiny of Trump's behavior was in direct response to Trump's behavior.  He was impeached twice because he thumbed his nose at the concept of ethical conduct when one is elected to office, rather than campaigning for office.  He used the considerable power that accompanies the presidency to advance his personal political ambitions.

Trump has shown disregard for the rule of law since he first invited James Comey for a little private chat at the White House regarding that lying lunatic Michael Flynn, and continues to so in the present day with regard to the 2020 election despite the carnage caused by the "very special" people who tried to stop the certification of the electoral college vote.

I don't think anyone is saying Joe Biden is above scrutiny.  It just seems ridiculous that Trump supporters are dedicated to finding even the most minute evidence that Biden is presently doing what Trump did in a big way.

Why not base your criticisms on whatever unique mistakes Biden may make? (because all leaders make mistakes)?  Things like the recent mask faux pas are just pointless gotchas, especially when I recall that the Trump campaign spent months mocking Biden for his "hiding" and his drive-in rallies when he was responsibly following expert advice in the early days of the pandemic.

I think killing a aid worker along with children with a drone strike is a "unique mistake" worth scrutiny. 

It seems redicoulas the hypocrisy of Biden supporters. 

And then there is this....
