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.

You didn't say what you thought about this.  I looked at the linked info within your linked article.  FOX linked to another of their own bits of reporting rather than Bureau of Labor.  In that article it said this...

Quote

"The labor market recovery continues to hit the brakes this month, but is far from completely stopping," said Daniel Zhao, senior economist at Glassdoor. "Despite the soft September report, there's still a case for optimism in the coming months, as we are beginning to look in the rearview mirror, and the peak of the Delta wave’s repercussions is behind us."

Interesting, eh?

I didn't explain because my hair color comment had nothing to do with someone's sexual orientation. I really fo not care about who sleeps with who. There seems to be a general characteristic of extreemly loud radical white liberal women who like the alternate hair colors. I made a generalization about hair color. Ohhhh, it's not like I assigned hate and evil to a skin color or something. Geeez

The fact that you wrote a one word sentence speaks louder than your big word I'm so intellectual long rants could ever say. 

I have no idea how you're not able to recognize that's a derogatory stereotype of a specific group of people.

Biden said that "wages have gone up higher, faster than inflation."

That was the case in August and September. But the gains from those two months are only starting to dig inflation-adjusted wages out of the hole they fell into during the first seven months of Biden’s tenure.

We rate the statement Mostly False.

It's kind of lame that he's not reporting the big picture that inflation is a problem for most of us and the figures for the year aren't good.  But I suppose we can be hopeful that October figures might reflect the trend of the prior two months.  

There is reason to be optimistic about the economy with some caveats.

Fox News is so stupid they don't even believe what they write anymore.  I guess this is why they didn't refer to their own previous article.

Probably because I didn't even think of that because I wasn't being derogatory about a specific group, or people. Their sexuality didn't cross my mind. At all. 

Are people with purple hair a protected class that I haven't heard about yet? 

It's says allot because your concern is their hair color not the fact I made a derogatory reference to their skin color. Oh , I said "white liberal women with purple hair" . White stereotyping is okay but not hair color because you stereotyped people with purple hair as "queer" or whatever. So I'm a "queer hater". OK then. 

Far left radical white women with purple hair generally are annoying. Their sexual orientation doesn't factor in that. 

Really preoccupied with color in these parts eh?

No.  My examples were evidence that Trump has cognitive challenges and evidence of cognitive decline. The reality that Biden closed his eyes for a moment at a meeting isn't evidence of cognitive decline, character flaws or incompetence. 

You must have been impressed then, by Biden's speech complete with "solid" sentences and coherent train of thought at that meeting. 

I've expressed concern before that, like Trump, Biden is too old.  But so far, you haven't mentioned any concerns about Biden's health, cognition or competence that weren't MUCH BIGGER  and MORE OBVIOUS concerns for Trump.  

That was not evidence for anything. Not liking what someone says doesn't mean they have a cognition deficit.  

I am glad that your type of thinking isn't used to diagnose dementia in the clinical setting. You'd have half your country diagnosed with dementia along with me. 

"Biden is too old"? That's the best you can do? Then you call "Trumpers" or whatever blindly brained washed. Mkay......... 

What is the purpose of this original post? To antagonize??

If you are referring to me.....

I have litterally said that people should be judged by their character not their skin color or their predominate "group". And this has antaganized allot of these members.

Of course, the same as the thread discussing Mr. Trump during his presidency.

Talking about obvious and disqualifying character flaws in a candidate elected president (Trump) is not exactly the same as seeking to antagonize people.  It would be different if Trump had been honest, competent and transparent but he isn't and wasn't any of those things and neither were most of his destructive cabinet appointees. Surely you can see the difference.
