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.

She's no moderate.  She signed a harsh anti abortion bill while she was governor.  Her only true stance is as an apologist for the fringe of the right. I believe she doesn't know what she believes...except for abortion.

Lisa Murkowski has never been governor of Alaska. Lisa Murkowski was in favor of codifying Roe as law.

In further looking into the issue,  maybe @subee is thinking of someone else.  She supports a women's right to chose but didn't go for a Democrat plan in the Senate.

Quote

Sen. Lisa Murkowski voted Wednesday against advancing a Democratic bill that would protect abortion rights in federal law if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. 

"I will be opposing the Democrats' bill that goes far beyond just straight codification of Roe,” she said just before the vote. "And I will continue to try to work to ensure that we are protecting a woman's right to choose.”

Frank Murkowski was governor, Lisa's father.

Sorry.  I was addressing a previous post that mentioned Nicky Hailey.

We both did because she quoted the post from me in which we were talking about Murkowsky and that's whom we were talking about, not Hailey. 

 I can't find a post where anyone hinted that Hailey might have been a moderate.  She is attempting to steer us away from Trump by simultaneously praising his presidency but saying it's time to move on.  No way no how she's remotely close to being a moderate.  

Anyway, it's clarified.

It appears someone was simply misinformed.   Again.

Good thing appearances and misinformation aren't important to conservatives.

Congress is on a five week vacation.  President Biden at his Rehobith Beach home with Fox News capturing him cycling in local park  ---  disproves their "frail" label.

I plan on seeing that movie.

The unintended thing was they provided the public with a robust Biden, but the real idea was almost a "how dare he be so casual with this scandal".  

One of my patients was watching Fox News and they had several stories on how awful Biden is, how poorly Harris is doing in the polls, how bad the economy is under Biden, blah blah blah.  There was one story that he was retouching his photos to appear more youthful.  Trump was criticized for doctoring his photos to make himself thinner, so I guess that's fair.
