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.

In your opinion... do you inform that opinion with the lies of Fox news?  Because your appraisal seems to be in conflict with the actual thinking in Europe since Trump lost the 2020 election

I bet that's what the propaganda from Fox News or right wing media must tell you in an effort to keep their conservative consumers angry and certain that liberals are their enemies. 

If you are offended by weak and offended cabinets iI'm surprised that you had so little to say about the last cabinet.  Or maybe not...

One of those balloons was a weather research project from the University of Montana who regularly send balloons up from White Sands, NM.  Is that also Biden's "fault"?  Did it ever make sense to blow the thing up over human occupied territory?  It seems from personal observation, that more and more people are becoming paranoid, to all of our detriment.  What happened to watchful waiting as a choice?  That appears to be the choice of the Trump administration who didn't shoot them down.

Again... you are welcome to your opinion but when it seems to be in conflict with the available data or surveys or analysis it's easy to place that discrepancy at the feet of your preferred media. You disagree because you like the media that gives you the anti-Biden perspective... the pro-Putin perspective... now synonymous with the Fox News perspective. I provided a citation... you provided your feelings and beliefs.  

You must have just realized that right wing extremism is on the rise across the globe although it's a mystery as to what you think that Islamic religious governments or the Taliban are if not right wing.   Trump's elevation to the presidency was very encouraging for the right wing extremists.

"Actual thinking".  I opine that to be a skill of Carlson Tucker who believes he is thinking.  Who are these "actual thinkers" in Europe?

No balloons flew during Trump's time.  That has been debunked many Krio Lee times through ever changing stories.  Tr to keep up.

In your opinion... as informed by right wing media that is as proficient in publishing propaganda as it is forwarding a false narrative.  Maybe you don't know what "debunked" means or how one would demonstrate that something has been debunked.

What point do you think that you are making beyond the rhetorical dart? You didn't offer any comment about the citation you provided.  Did you read it?  Are you making a point about balloons or right wing extremism or how the world views Biden?

So reading comprehension isn't your strong point.   Got it.

Of course. Luckily, bonkers statements don't cut it in court. Am watching Jack Smith, the Georgia grand jury and the various defamation suits going on, with CSPAN coverage of the House of Representatives when I need some comic relief.

 We may live in perilous times, but consider the alternative.

The alternatives are not living or living in something less perilous... right? 

LOL

I too am fascinated by the CSpan coverage of the House.

It's all lifted straight from Fox. I just watched some clips from their talking heads and it was deja vu all over again.

Luckily, no one's paying much attention to what the clown brigade "thinks". I believe the stagecrafted messaging was aimed at the Ukrainian people, our NATO allies and Russia.

Even before trump trashed our diplomatic relationships, the US had a really bad reputation for dumping our commitments as soon as our own needs were met. That's going to take a whole lot of work to correct.

Meanwhile, Russia has been riding high on their success in the 2016 election, between getting the Republican Party to scrap its opposition to their annexation of the Crimea, and their evisceration of Clinton, notoriously unsympathetic to Russia.

Putin thought he had it made in the shade when the useful idiot was elected. Unfortunately, he believed his own propaganda about Biden and thought he could continue his bullying.

Surprise! 

I'm not sure who the "messaging " was for, but it was the liberal talking heads who were orgasming  over Biden walking around while the sirens were blaring.

Of course, anyone with a brain knows any POTUS isn't going to be allowed to stroll around if a military airstrike is a imminent threat.  Let alone a POTUS who needs permission from his staff on when and who he'll take questions from.

And, obviously Putin didn't want to do anything to escalate our involvement.   Heck, we probly told him Biden was there so he wouldn't unknowingly do something stupid.

Actually haven't watched Fox in weeks.  If we're both right about something,  makes sense we might say similar things.

You do you, boo. Whatever lets you sleep at night.
