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.

Do you really expect a response? 

Even though it's true, the fact that Trump is involved is enough for me! When a moron like Trump or Cruz says anything, I automatically assume it's a lie. Even if it's true! 

There are many beautiful venomous creatures out there! 

Show me your friends and I will know who you are! That applies to what you consume as well re knowledge. 

Wow this getting to be a drive by a bad ex-bf/gf job or home kind of weird thread. The title mentions Biden, but most of it is rants about Trump.

So filled with emotions.

And that's the problem in a nutshell! 

This ability to so quickly forget what the last four years have been like! 

Just lurch from headline to headline and quickly forget the bad time and people because we have such excellent attention spans! 

Those who forget their history ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT! 

It's this liberal laissez-faire attitude of Democrats that forced us to always capitulate and be bipartisan! Sod that! 

I win, I make the rules, just like Trump! Biden is a good man and even if he adopted an autocratic approach, he will make the right choices! 

If it was me, from day 1.... covid, then get rid of the filibuster, no reaching across the aisle to anyone! Stack the Supreme Court and pass John Lewis's agenda! Then we can address bipartisanship. 

Those would be my priorities!

If I am taking the responsibility, then I am making the decisions! That simple!

I'm sure you remember what Trump said.  I think it was a classic case of people mocking him and people went overboard.  He never said that people should inject bleach, but that we perhaps should look into all possible treatments.  I think it was some round about way of him trying to pass on some hope of treatments.  

What I didn't appreciate at the time and it's all water under the bridge now was how he would say one thing and then something else later.  He would promote all the best practices for dealing with the virus and then say things like "free Michigan" even though Michigan was not meeting his own administrations criteria for reopening,  or mock Biden for wearing a mask, etc.

"And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning? 

"So it'd be interesting to check that."

Pointing to his head, Mr Trump went on: "I'm not a doctor. But I'm, like, a person that has a good you-know-what."

Like I said, it's old news and water under the bridge.

Seems pretty tame and normal to me, but I've been part of the political boards here since Bill Clinton was President and have seen some truly emotional threads.

Surely not going to participate in criticism of every single thing Biden does from people who won't allow a single criticism of Trump. That's not how accountability works...all of it for liberals and none for conservatives...seems an odd way to look at the world, right? 

Trump is responsible for tens of thousands of deaths...why shouldn't we rant about that a bit? We flipping talk about 9/11, we're not supposed to forget that.  But Trump decided to let a dangerous virus ruin rampant through our country and we're supposed to pretend that wasn't on purpose or talk about it?

 He lied about key elements of the pandemic and the mitigation with the intent to decrease participation. It appears thatTrump decided that it would be OK if the virus killed a bunch of old people so he did very little to slow it.  Are we supposed to shrug our shoulders and consider putting him back in that position of authority again? Clearly that's what the people who don't criticize Trump are thinking.

The last administration gets credit for eliminating much of the financial risk for the pharmaceutical companies.   The biggest risk comes with phase 3 trials.  The government took on a bulk of the financial risk by placing orders before trials were started. There are other reasons, but that is the single biggest reason the vaccines happened so fast.

The current administration hasn't had to do anything.  They do seem busy however, trying to take credit.

Yeah.  Updates.  Sure.  What a undevisive leader.

The vaccines were developed by scientists; not by Trump.  Anyone in the office could have gotten the same thing done.  Biden, however, got two competing companies to work together to increase the supply and, I may be wrong, but if you can show me another example of Trump that involved team playing among two huge industries, please tell me.  Below is part of a March 4 column from George Will  explaining what the loss of journalism means to the people who read the crap newsites you keep citing.  We all lose when any crank can write a newsletter and not have to abide by any standards of journalism.  Trump probably did two right things a day...just like a broken clock.  But when you view his legacy in toto, he left the country floundering because of the conspiracy of dunces.

Trump didn't specifically tell his most devoted followers to eat aquarium chemicals either but his reckless language and speech about that resulted in people doing just that.  Everyone who watched Trump's covid media rallies knows that he said stupid or contradictory things routinely.  Yes he questioned if we couldn't just use bleach, by injection maybe. 

As a retiree, I watch all press briefings in real time. Trump's were just weird, full of bluster and bloviation and bull crap...almost always combative with the press as they questioned the white house narrative.

Well, it wasn't a dialog which had originally involved you, but I'd be happy to answer any questions that you might have relative to my experience with migrant and immigrant communities or the comment you quoted.   

Are you concerned that Trump's covid legacy is not going to be favorable?

Also, could you give me an example of a member of the Biden administration busily "trying to take credit", please?  

My comment was spurred on by your condescending remarks on my anecdote then it did the subject matter.  

The hypocrisy never stops with the liberal crowd.

And the avoidance maneuvers never stop with you:)  I really do hope that EmitBio is successful with their therapeutic light but if it does prove to be useful, it's probably too late for this pandemic because we might be vaccinated before a light would come to fruition.  But maybe it will prove of use for the next pandemic.  Their experiments with nitric oxide proved to be a non-starter despite all the hype they released to the press.  When someone asks you a reasonable question, it isn't too much to try to answer it.  I'm still awaiting your immigration plan.  Tweety wasn't asked but they provided at least some ideas.

Yeah.  I was pretty certain that your comment had no real point but I wasn't interested in just being rude. 

I wonder that you have a foggy notion of what hypocrisy really is, so your attempts to project that are almost amusing. Does ending your inflammatory comment with a broad stroke insult of all liberals make you feel better than it makes you look in a discussion? Should I add one back just for balance.  Is that how this should work? In the Trumpian era of politics should we just go toe to toe with insults as modeled by DJT?

Not interested in being rude?  I look forward to, but not getting my hope up for that change.  LOL.

Oh, sorry about the broad stroke I used to insult liberals.  That never happens here to conservatives,  does it? 

No, not interested in going toe to toe.  I don't have the time you seem to in retirement....seemingly waiting at the keyboard to throw shade my way. I certainly have better things to do.
