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.

 Not hardly. Trump doesn’t get to take credit for Rush Limbaugh. Many of us old fahts have strong opinions about him from before Fox News sold itself into wingnut slavery. MAGA is  just code for dittohead. Trump’s got nothing to do with it.

What ya mean Trump has nothing to do with it? 

Someone posts about the Medal of Honor receipiants.  Hard to criticize any of the choices.  Congrats to Joe, or whoever is actually running things!  He or they managed not to F up something, for a change!

Annnd,  then, almost immediately someone has to post about their dissatisfaction of one of Trump's choices.  From, what...2 or 3 years ago?

Yes, TDS is still a common affliction.

It should be called out as totally unacceptable political discourse to claim that discussing the current front-runner for the Republican Presidential nomination, which of course would include their history as a political figure, is the result of a psychological affliction.

This post makes no sense. MAGA is just a rebranding of dittoheads and John Birchers. Bad cosplay.

ETA - the post was about the Medal of Freedom. Can civilians even get the Medal of Honor?

Anyway, except for baby-eating lizard people and Jewish space lasers, MAGA and trump have contributed nothing new to the culture wars. Limbaugh was a phenomenon when trump was still bankrupting his first casino.

Your post makes no sense.

 Who cares who Trump, or Biden, named a medal winner? To my point,  evidently I misnamed the medal, and the 30% who think Biden is the bee's knees are cheering it on.  I'll take your word for it.  With everything else going on, no one cares.  And, wth is John Wirchers?

I do, agree,  though that Trump hasn't contributed to culture wars.   Culture wars is a libtard thing.

You seriously don’t know about the John Birch Society? Don’t you know your own history?

Nope.  Used Google.   Doesn't ring a bell.  Never heard of him.

Anyone who thinks I'm far or radical right is either dimwitted or simply hasn't paid attention.  

Feel free to try and show me wrong on that accusation.

One doesn't have to be "far right" to know our history.

Yes!  I remember him running off his ignorant mouth decades before Trump.  I tittered when he was forced to reveal his opiate addiction after listening him for all those years, excoriating addicts as if they were trash.  As far as I know, he had no redeeming values.

Well … you certainly do a great impression of rightwingnuttery: willful ignorance, check. Proud of that ignorance, check. Much of the time substitutes owning the libs for reasoned discussion, check. (“libtard”? Really? What are you, thirteen?)

Don’t look now, but you sit squarely in the tradition of rightwingnut ideology.

You literally posted this within the past 12 hours - “Yes, TDS is still a common affliction” and “Culture wars is a libtard thing”.   Those comments are consistent with leaning far-right.

Please --name callings gotta stop, counter productive on both sides. 

As REpublicans concerned about education these days, need to bring back/  require Civics/Government classes as part of High School ---  AND encourage signup for elections as part of graduation for those > 18 yo.

You don't have to be far-right to believe both of those things.  I've certainly heard liberals use those terms, and liberals occasionally.

So, try again if you like.  On what issues do you think I'm "far-right"?
