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 it's quite obvious that the idiots who devise these voting "safety" gaslit ideas have never worken at the polls.  They don't understand the process.  However, having said that, I still can't understand how mailing out unrequested ballots to everyone can be a safe system.  It's not that I believe it's corrupt, I just don't understand how it works at the down in the trenches level.  It's a lot easier to place false flags into our system than it is to confront other more existential issues that are more urgent.  It keeps tiny, little minds occupied.

And, "the process" always works like it's supposed to, right?

Those ballots were probably meant to be sent to republicans and the democrats rigged the system so they can steal the election from Walker.   The election is rigged.

Oh wait, you said "human error".  My bad.

Bad sarcastic humor.  Like elections past, it's time for my break because I just can't take another minute of politics.  I'll see you on the other side of Tuesday and I will be my usual gracious self when people I want to win lose (as is mostly the case here in Florida and often nationally, so I'm used to it).  Don't forget to vote, however you vote.

Considering that personal threats and other off putting shenanigans from the "stop the steal" gang has created a huge turnover in election staff, this shouldn't surprise anyone.  It's expensive and time consuming to train new people. 

There's a downside to making election staff feel unsafe because you've believed lies about election fraud and feel incited to do something about those feelings and beliefs.

Quote

A survey by the Brennan Center for Justice found 77 percent of election officials believe threats against them have increased in recent years, with one in six reporting having been threatened because of their jobs, mostly over the phone, though half of those did not report the threats to law enforcement. One in five election officials reported that they were somewhat unlikely to stay in their jobs through the 2024 election, though more than half of all respondents were at least somewhat concerned that their successors might believe that widespread fraud occurred in the 2020 election.

There are serious consequences to lying repeatedly about election fraud.

Teleprompter trips Biden up again.  

I listened to some of Biden at the climate summit on the BBC podcast, and he sounded pretty coherent to me but I missed this.

Biden is less crazy than the previous guy, also less racist, less misogynistic, and less vengeful. Biden would be a better and more honest president than the last guy even if he was on his death bed, that's why he was elected. 

This has nothing to do with trump!

If you had a landscaper would you constantly be comparing them to your old landscaper? No!

We're in the present, why do liberals keep comparing to a past president. And if so why stop there? Why not compare to Washington? Or Lincoln?

Do you assess everyday of your life in comparison to previous days? 

Even if you think Trump was awful, that has NOTHING to do with Biden's cognitive capacity and efforts to compare are clearly efforts to minimize his cognitive decline

https://news.Yahoo.com/biden-t-flashed-ihcue-card-104115491.html

Even a liberal sites like Yahoo just posted an article about Biden's cue cards that instruct him things like "you take your seat". 

Also let's say Biden is better than Trump does that mean your happy with a president that clearly has dementia? Because that's what you're implying.

Jobs?  The job market is hot.  What are you talking about?  That's such an obvious lack of looking at the news that I can't trust anything else you say. ..especially when you have no citations.  

These are quotes from Biden not me. And these quotes are Google-able.

If I had experience with a historically bad landscaper who boldly lied about his work, I would warn others looking for a landscaper... and I sure a heck wouldn't consider hiring him again 4 years after I fired him. 

Trump is running to be president again. Dead people don't run for president. We do compare and rate presidents throughout our history.  Here's an example.

Trump is unfit to serve as POTUS on most levels of personal conduct or performance.  Trump surrounds himself with liars and grifters and yes men. 

Even if Biden has dementia his cabinet is demonstrably more competent than was Trump's.

Always the but, but, Trump.  Do we expect anything else from the parrot squad on here?

It seems that if posters are going to declare the current POTUS incompetent, then it is natural to compare him to another who demonstrated rather bizarre, at times demented, behavior. For every mishap that Biden has with a teleprompter, his predecessor had one as well.
