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.

Yes, people knew what he was talking about.   Only because we knew the topic and what we were expecting him to say. 

We knew what he was talking about only because, we knew what he was talking about.

He repeated, in his own way, the can't say gay line.  Is he lying,  or uninformed?  Hard to say, isn't it?

We will disagree that they are being catty.

"Don't Say Gay" was coined by opponents and is often used, and he's using the term as an opponent.  meh...

next controversy

In other words, lying over uninformed.

Please don't twist what I said, however I acknowledge you can feel however you like.   Just like republicans called Biden's "Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act", the Socialist Act, or the Affordable Care Act  is called "Obamacare", sometimes things take on a life of their own and accurate or not "Don't Say Gay" is how it's known.

Speaking of lying, McCarthy went to the border to blame Biden for the situation but couldn't deflect from comments about January 6.

This is an opinion.

Telling a baldfaced lie, particularly one of such magnitude, is a sign of low character. But repeating the very same lie just seconds after explaining you hadn’t told the lie in the first place is a sign of low brain activity.

Alas, this may well be the next speaker of the House.

Here's another opinion piece, but a bit dramatic.

Quote

It is no exaggeration to say that what the onetime Party of Lincoln is doing constitutes a dire threat to the very idea of democracy. A contest between liberal and conservative philosophies is healthy. An asymmetrical clash between one party grappling with nuanced reality and another party deliberately spewing paranoid fiction is dangerously corrosive to the fabric of the nation.

Sorry about being off topic above.  I meant those for the other Current Events thread.  My bad.

They have a billion dollar bond debt that might fall on the county, which I don't think is a republican stronghold so DeSantis might not care.    

There are many such districts in Florida.  What's interesting is that he calls for the ending of special districts established prior to 1968 which coincidentally doesn't include the special status of Republican stronghold community "The Villages".  

Sounds like a discrimination case to me.  I know DeSantis doesn't care if the taxpayers of Orange County have to dig deeper into their pockets.  That is the point of what I am saying....he doesn't care.  Trump only won there by 13% of the votes and I would think that a lot more than 13% of the residents of Orange County will not be happy when they have to maintain Disneyworld.  Also, I saw that the bond debt of Reedy Creek could me as much as 1.7 billion.

Trump didn't win there.  Biden did, overwhelmingly.

Not only that, but DeSantis lost that county and only got 36.6% of the votes.  Which is what prompted me to say what I said that he might not care what they think.

Agreed. 

This doesn't seem to be a move that anyone benefits from, and is simply retaliation against Disney.  

It seems risky to me, with more for him to lose than to gain when Florida.  I guess he's feeling confident.

I agree.   Certainly is retaliation.  He would be better served to co-exist with "woke" businesses in his state.  

He's been successful and powerful so far thus his confidence, and this probably won't go too bad for him.  He also has like minded state house and senate supporting him.

My bad!  Wonder now what I WAS reading:)  Regardless of their party, I don't think that anyone running for governor wants to create angry taxpayers.  This would be another dent in their so-called "fiscally conservative" identity.
