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.

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.

Liberals believe anything they are spoon fed.  Democrats are the home of weak men and ugly miserable women.

This was all reported.

Russia was informed of the travel and the sirens were likely triggered by Russian jets near the Belarusian border.

According to CNN the siren hasn't been activated for a week or more.  Typical staging by a week President trying to look tough.  Democrats have a  history of staging for photo ops.

To be fair, so does every political party. Have photo staging. 

However I wonder how the people who hear those sirens feel about them being used as a prop? 

When a everyday citizen hears that, they must feel the blind terror of a possible bomb being dropped on them. 

Photo staging is a common act but I think being mindful of how it is done should be considered. This one was particularly insensitive.

Beerman. Fox will forever be castigated as propaganda all because of a court case for defimation that hasn't even started yet. Or regardless of its outcome. Right now orgasims are abundant! LOL

It will never be acknowledged that the Fox news heads in question are opinion. Anyone with a brain knows this. Yet it will be classified as Fox being propaganda as a whole. Which has already spilled into these threads. Any citation from Fox, regardless of its designation as opinion or not or its factuality will be met with bringing this defemation trial up. It's a cleaver way of silencing opposing opinions. Sleezy extention of propaganda in of itself. 

TV news stations have several different areas. News, opinion and analysis.  The integrity can be determined by the transparency of each. 

IMO, Fox news as a whole does not present Tucker etc as news. It is opinion.

All news is opinion.  The opinion is how it is presented.  Or when it's bad for Democrats how it is ignored.  Even the so called newspapers of record are nothing more that woke tabloid trash anymore.

How were the sirens used as a prop?  The reporting indicates that the Russian jets triggered the sirens and that this is a common occurrence. Didn't you read that?

According to my extended family in the Kiev region, the sirens are much too common to cower every time they are heard.

So the CNN reporter was lying?  He's been on the ground for a while and said no sirens for the past week.

The filing in the court case shows pretty clearly from private communications that FOX personalities  AND executives knew that the election lies were lies. This was a business decision... to keep their audience confused and angry about elections.  The evidence just in the filing is stunning and unprecedented.

By your logic:  It hasn't snowed here for a week, therefore there will be no more snow unless Biden arranges with CNN for a photo op.

The trial has not started yet. You are welcome to come to your personal conclusions. 

I will wait until all the evidence is submitted and there is a judgment before I come to a personal  conclusion.

Derp...why would Ukraine leave their air defense sirens silenced when the US president is visiting? They DO silence them at other times for the citizens who live and work there as their defenses are pretty effective. But to assume that they wouldn't have ALL tools active and available during such a high profile and important visit is silly. 

Sometimes thinking a thing through before regurgitating simplistic criticism is wise.
