President Biden thread

Sorry, but how would I know what you are. I actually thought you were a 30 something lesbian but I honestly don't care what you are. Won't happen again. Good for you by the way. 

I have some sort of defective psyche, insults have never ever bothered me. I've been 6'4" since about 15 and have suffered much abuse myself except I'm too thick to know I was being abused or even cared. I'm way too selfish to be distracted from pursuing girls, playing sports and partying. 

Each to their own, eh Tweety? 

Why on earth would you call a 30 something lesbian "Tweets dearie"??

Yes, we all respond to insults differently.  As it started in grade school and lasted through high school and I had no source of support at home, I internalized it and became who I am today.  Like I've said my skin is very thick and insults don't bother me a bit now, except sometimes that inner defenseless bullied child reacts before it passes.  

Anyway.......back to Biden.

It has to do with your insistence in assessing Biden's mental capacity after seemingly being completely unfazed by the routinely and increasingly abnormal behavior and speech patterns of the previous president.  It has to do with the fact that your concern about presidential capacity appears completely misplaced and contrived within right wing propaganda outlets.  

But you likely know that already.  

While it is interesting that suddenly Republicans have become concerned about a President's mental capacity (and physical given a recent trip) and things like the deficit that they never cared about before.  That Trump fumbled through speeches, making up words, rambling and lying, while Republicans worshiped him isn't the point.   The point is that we are talking about Biden and his mental capacity.

The point is that there is nothing to talk about.  There is no objective concern about Biden's mental or physical capacity that doesn't originate from partisan propaganda.  The entire narrative is a projection, the favorite tool of the GOP today.

I agree.  Beerman remains convinced that we just have to wait to find out what he already knows, that he's in mental decline and will continue to do so.   So subject is essentially closed as there is no convincing anyone with this belief.  The Republican propaganda machine was successful, as they were successful in convincing people, even today, that Biden isn't the true winner of the election.

The Republican propaganda machine?  No, I have eyes and ears.  It's been obvious since the campaign he isn't what he was.  Bernie Sanders supporters saw it. 

 

 

OK, I respect that you came to your own conclusion without any influence from the media you consume. 

Others come to no such conclusion.

Sanders himself didn't attack Biden, but Jill Stein did. Again, this was mostly during the campaign.  So I will back up that it was just the Republican Propaganda machine, it was also his opponents or in the case of Sanders, his supporters.  Sanders himself came out in support of Biden.  But it is now Fox News and people like Tucker Anderson keeping that idea alive.

There is much disagreement about his mental decline.  Is it is stutter?  Is it his dementia or just ignorance that makes him say things like "poor kids are not as smart as rich".   If this is indeed happening, I do hope Democracy takes care of it and we have Mrs. Harris to take over.

As you say, time will tell.  

There is also another idea by the propaganda machine that Democrats are aware and taking advantage of his decline.

What is surprising, however, is how effective and advantageous his non-presidency has been for the Democratic Party. His mental incapacitation has not hindered the left’s sinister Marxist agenda to transform the United States from a Constitutional republic to a totalitarian state, but has helped facilitate it.

There's starting to be some buzz about conditions at the border and the hypocrisy of liberals thinking now that kids in cages is okay.

Yes.

The republicans are certain that liberals are big hypocrites. They will crow about it constantly...like Kevin McCarthy does daily on his social media accounts.  

Only Trump supporters are unable to comprehend the differences in treatment of children and it's proved everyday that explanation doesn't change their thinking. They've decided what they think and the right wing media pushes that narrative rather than the truth.

Even if there was only one primary difference between Trump border policy and Biden policy, that difference would be important.  The primary difference is that Biden's policy is not intentionally cruel or punitive in an intentionally cruel way and Trump's was.  I would guess that the secondary and tertiary differences center around building up processes for immigration or asylum instead of destroying them and providing some assistance to the dangerous regions to reduce desire to flee to our border. The xenophobia and racism that ran rampant through Trump's administration clearly affected our country's treatment of POC at our southern border. 

Yes there were a bunch of people waiting in Mexico to get into the USA. Yes the Biden administration is refusing entry to the vast majority. Yes, too many minors are sent to the border without a family member and no those minors are not turned away as an adult or a family would be.  Yes, conservatives are desperate for the media to soundly label this a "Biden crisis".  These, of course, largely represent the same folks who would never place accountability for anything on Trump...ever...

Immigration is a cornerstone issue for the GOP...they will beat this horse to death because it agitates their base.  The conservative angst about taxes and the debt will swell to a fevered pitch as the country tries to pivot away from the Trump failed public health policy and addresses the failed GOP economic and infrastructure policies.

Exactly!  Biden is working on a humane policy, Trump supporters and their disgusting politicians are working on fascist remedies to brown and black human beings seeking asylum.  They are hateful fascist who are against our constitutional democracy and no one is ignorant of that fact, but them.

What does that have to do with Joe Biden?

Biden's speech deficits never arose to the level of word salad.  Completely different level of misspeaking.

Their fixation on the trappings of fascism are a deep and direct threat to our republic in this very moment.  Modern republicans care nothing about truth, their goal is power.
