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.

Right.

I occasionally watch him.  Which I'm sure is more than you ever have.  You're just parroting stuff you've heard from some far left media source.

He's a bit over the top for my taste, but I've never heard anything racist, homophobic, etc. 

For example, someone here recently said that Carlson made a homophobic joke about Butigieg's (sorry about the spelling) paternity leave.  It was a joke about breastfeeding.  Which, you could say was in bad taste, but it would be a stretch to call it homophobic.

Just another example of how liberals can't win on the issues.  They have to resort to making the other side into Satan's helpers.

And, btw, did you see the fake white supremacists in VA?  They were even inclusive of a black man and woman. LOL.

 

 

 

 

On both his show and appearances on other shows he has endorsed replacement theory.  This is the general idea that there is an organized effort by non-whites (and maybe non-white sympathizers) to take away white people's supposed birthright of being in power.  This is the basic premise of White nationalism.

In one instance, he pointed out that when voting, the rule had been 'one man, one vote' and that by allowing immigrants into the country who then vote, who he described as being more "obedient" than white voters, his vote was being "diluted".  This was the argument of colonial times that blacks shouldn't be counted as a full person, because that dilutes the value of white citizens.

I feel like Tucker is almost hated as much as Trump. Tucker 2024 anyone? 

Tucker is in the right place.  It was Trump who was in the wrong place.

I'm black and aboriginal and I'm apparently a white supremacist! Ha ha. 

You keep trotting this out, along with your dual citizenship and your US Marine parent (did you know that there is another member with an almost identical background?) as some sort of proof that you can’t possibly be wrong about anything to do with racism.

Is it your assertion that only white people can be racist? How does that square with the right wingnut claim that the only race problem in this country is racism against white people? If the only racists are white and the only real racism is against white people, then what about groups like planned parenthood and BLM? Are they suddenly PC??

Consider the question purely rhetorical, since I don’t believe a word of any of your claims of “me, too” minority status. Your attempts to mau-mau the membership here are pretty transparent. Not buying a word of it.

Your scriptwriters need to think things through a bit. 1975 called and wants it’s cliches back.

No sorry. I do not buy the " not all Trump supporters are white racist, but all  white racist like   Trump". 

That's like saying not all Musliums are terrorist but all  terrorist are Musliums. 

So queers have colored hair? And I subtly hate them? Do I only subtly hate the Q but not the L G B T  +? What? Perhaps you have hate in your heart that's why you assume everyone has hate for others. And maybe you see racism everywhere because you are a racist liberal? Do you even know my sexuality? Or even my gender?  Did you assume?? Well, the purple hairs would probably call you a nazi for that!! Do you even know what color my hair is? No you don't. But I know because I have a different opinion you have hate for me. 

Tucker is a open white nationalist? How? I highly doubt that. Just because you do not agree with what he says or how he says it, doesn't make him a open white nationalist. Whatever that means anyway. 

You know. I hear more hate, intolerance, judgmental criticisms from liberal Democrat forums, tv shows and all types of media than I do anywhere else. Perhaps ypu need to check ypur own bias and intolerance? 

Perhaps, when it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, maybe it is a duck and not a chicken dressed up for Halloween! 

Republicans, and I hate to generalize, are frequently, racist, misogynistic, liars and hypocrites and it's reflected in all areas of their lives because of their choices! If it wasn't for those attributes, I would happily embrace the GOP, because I'm a fiscally conservative person, but the lying and hypocrisy just don't gel with a straight talker like me! 

I am not exaggerating, I literally break out in hives as in an allergic reaction just by looking at a picture of trump or a Ted Cruz type and if it was legal, I would pay huge amounts of money to watch them tortured! 

They absolutely know that what they say and do is causing pain and suffering to their followers and still they do it because of greed and indecency! The only silver lining, is that their followers are the ones mostly suffering! 

I really do love EVOLUTION AND NATURAL SELECTION!

First, don't quote me as saying something I never said, have a little respect for others.

What you said could be interpreted as such 

But even the gist of your quote isn't accurate, I never claimed or suggested that all racists support Trump.  I pointed out, and feel free to dispute this, that multiple hate groups have endorsed Trump.  I would agree that whether they are racist, white vs western culture supremist, etc is up for at least some debate, but whether it's factual doesn't appear to be disputed.

And I would agree, someone having blue or purple hair shouldn't predict whether you disagree with them politically or not, so when then did you make exactly that claim

I didn't make that claim you did...

"I'm not sure why some degree of at least subtle queer-hate always seems to find it's way into your posts."

That's text book bigotry and discrimination

Perhaps you should then consult with the phyciatrist you work with

Words only hurt when you let them or are incredibly weak

Unbiased? Haha. Yeah right

What was your point in mentioning hair color in your comment, in the first place?

Someone said that my reference to purple hair white liberals was a "queer-hate " or something like that.

I agree.  So much of the personal content seems contrived and exaggerated. It cannot be genuine ignorance of the racism that North American natives suffered at the hands of the European colonizers. That indigenous Canadian can't say whether or not any of their ancestors were victims of the residential school cruelty.  Every stance and opinion has the appearance and quality of heavy influence by social media and disreputable right wing commentary. 

It's difficult to have actual discussions when discussion is apparently not the objective of some members. That's especially apparent in some of the covid threads.  Elevating animus and division over silly issues and talking about hate is the focus rather than talking about the complicated issues at hand...especially in on line forums...but in face to face encounters too. 

These are perilous times, when truth, character and integrity don't really matter to large swaths of the American public.

Yeah...why did you think it important to mention hair color...what does the hair color choice represent to you? What was that comment about hair color intended to communicate to those reading your remarks? 

Now that someone has informed you that the remark seemed bigoted against a specific and already marginalized community, are you going to clarify what you intended to communicate with your comment?

There is a white racist problem and it is in the form of the white liberal. Mostly woman with blue or purple hair. That have such a sense of superiority for us poor POC that they need to fix it for us with their BS programs and money. However they just want the vote for power,;they really care less. 

You still have explained what you feel the relevance of hair color was.

Are you confused? I never said only white people can be racist. Anyone can. I really do not care about what you think about my ethnicity or my family history. I never claimed I was right about anything and my statuses are the only correct ones. But yeah, there is allot of intolerance for differing opinions on here  so I can see why you would automatically think that. It doesn't come from me though...

Again. I am not looking for validation and especially not from a intolerant person like you!! The fact that you think all aboriginals and their experiences are the same and that we all hate or should hate the white man are more reflective of your ignorant bigotry. 

Keep on keeping on being s tolerant inclusive non bigoted liberal or whatever you claim to be. Because no one is buying it either! Not anyone with an open non bigoted mind anyway.
