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.

And that's the problem in a nutshell! 

Going on and on about a bad ex when they're gone and moved out is a whole different issue.

Well, when that ex won't go away gracefully when thrown out of the house it hard not to go on about it.

Do you really believe we've "moved-out" of either Trump and the corona virus he delivered to us in spades?  Maybe it's more like the ex who moved out but left you with syphilis and all it's sequelae.

The abusive ex moved next door and his relatives run the grocery store in town.  It's like that.

The ex is about to get the alimony judgement and he's due to start paying. He's also about to move into the squatters quarters when those repayments come due and the legal bills start adding up. 

Also his current girlfriend the GOP will sooner or later realize the mushroom isn't worth it, especially as he's hogging all the donations and air space, leaving them vulnerable when Biden decides to make his move.

After years of abuse Sam finally leaves the abusive ex with NPD. The ex tells every one who will listen that Sam’s new spouse stole Sam away from the ex using underhanded and nefarious methods and that this should upset every real man and woman to the core and galvanize them into action. Everyone should rise up and support the ex and help wreck the institution of marriage and Sam’s newfound happiness. The ex never really believed in the institution of marriage any way... Laws, traditions, respect and decency are for weak people and are of no use to the ex. 

The ex wants Sam back. Not out of love but because the ex feels entitled to possess Sam.

Reminiscent or not you still have to get on with your life. It is not productive. It is not logical to blame EVERYTHING going forward on Trump. So will Biden will be accountable for nothing. It is YOU that let's a perceived dealt bad hand be the basis of everything.

Even Cuomo is blaming Trump for his drama. That's rationale to you?

Sorry an ex doesn't have to leave town to please you. They have the right to exist and speak. Even people you don't like have rights.

Well, we're not talking about an ex that is talking behind my back, we're talking about an ex-President with a huge following.   But I do agree with you're statement above even if it makes little sense as I never said he didn't have the right to exist and speak.  I too have the right to respond to what he's saying.

Sometimes with an ex it is a good idea to just ignore him.  But if they are spreading lies and misinformation perhaps it is also my right to speak up even if its their right to lie and spread discord, I mean "exist and speak".

It does make sense that Cuomo is playing the blame game and deflecting.  It's lame and not acceptable and ultimately he'll still fall.

The "bad deal" isn't perceived and we are just a few months into the administration so isn't it natural the Trump administration is still talked about.

I remember when Obama took office during the Great Recession there was a lot of talk about what Bush had done and what he had inherited.  When Trump took office, he convinced people that the country was in terrible shape and he needed to make America great again and proceeded with policy that caused much discussion about Obama.  This is natural.

No one is blaming Trump for EVERYTHING and holding Trump accountable for what he's accountable for does not mean that Biden will not be held accountable for his actions.   

I do agree that ultimately people do have to move on and grow.  Getting stuck in the past like blaming your parents for adult behavior can only go so far.  It's healthy to say "I have intimacy issues because of how I was raised" and examine that.  The question then becomes, what can I do about it and not get stuck.

For some of us the last four years have been toxic.  It's a process to see how that's affected us and how we perceive it's affected the nation and what to do about that.

He is only speaking to those who actively want to hear him.  I believe the nearest mirror is your bathroom. His prime method of reaching out has been taken away. Now it is more targeted. If you are not that target move on.

This is what I hate about rhetoric.  The Florida Attorney General is suing the Biden administration over Biden's immigration policy.  She's on Fox News stroking fears that Biden wants to release criminal from jail.  This is what the public will focus on.

It's one thing to not approve of removing detainers, it's another to stroke the  fear this would mean criminals get a free pass out of jail.
