President Biden thread

There is a easy way to avoid those fees.

I wonder if the Party of Unintended Consequences have considered that perhaps many people might now be dropped as customers of those banks?

That's a lazy projection as women are literally physically harmed by the unintended consequences of republican health policy.

Throwing out "projection" and then deflecting to a different topic seems kinda lazy, doesn't it?

And, I'm not a Republican nor do I agree with many of their health policies.   So, projection doesn't really work here.

Can't a customer switch banks if they're unhappy with the overdraft fees?  Many banks have smaller fees and/or overdraft protection. 

And why is the Biden administration involved?  In discussions of other topics it's been pointed out that congress should be making law, and the executive branch only administrators them.

I feel like it's so disruptive to have to explain how you projected the rather severe and personal unintended consequences of republican health policy onto a measure intended to help people who are not limited to use the 175 very large financial institutions which will be must affected by this action.  Projection is rampant in the age of Trump.  

It's also tedious to explain again that providing an example to illustrate the point is not a deflection.  

Yes, you are correct, many banks do offer better services and they likely won't be much effected.  

Why is Biden involved? Maybe you noticed that right wing political extremists have our government all locked up investigating a private citizen, looking desperately for any reason to justify the articles of impeachment that they promised Trump, and threatening the SOTH with a motion to vacate.

A political party that bases the majority of its time and efforts on grievance rather than governance isn't very productive.

Actually, I know exactly how the questions were crafted.  The poll and the questions are right there for anyone to read.

But, sounds like your assured that in reality, most people are satisfied with the job Joe is doing.  Is that correct?

 

I am more satisfied with Biden than I am afraid of Trump.  I wish it were someone else besides Biden, but I can't see the country surviving another 4 years of Trump.  Biden isn't a deluded fool.  I've actually never experienced a president with whom I agree with totally and I don't think it's realistic to ever expect that.  But the parallels between Trump and Hitler make be squirm because I know that I've heard this story before.

That's a interesting and telling way to answer the question I asked.

I asked if you thought that polls that show low approval ratings for Biden were wrong  and that actually most people are satisfied with his job performance.

You answered that you want someone else to run. And, your main reason to vote for Biden is because you're afraid of Trump.

Sounds like the polls are right on.

"More satisfied with Biden than I am afraid of Trump" =/= "your main reason to vote for Biden is because you're afraid of Trump".  

What the heck?

Gas lighting isn't going to work here, although it is interesting and telling that you tried.

And, her other reasons to vote for Biden:

-"I can't see the country surviving another 4 years of Trump. "

-"Biden isn't a deluded fool. "

-"the parallels between Trump and Hitler make be squirm"

Sounds to me like she's voting against Trump more than she is supporting Biden.  What am I missing?

She could have just answered the question I asked.  And, you could have too since you interjected.  You both deflected from it.

Biden is a patriot and competent statesman.  Biden values NATO and our global alliances. Biden has presided over a good economic recovery after Trump mismanaged a pandemic.  

Trump is unfit for office.  Spin that.  

Everyone should be voting against Trump, why aren't you?

Here it is:  Biden is too old for my tastes BUT, he's competent as opposed to deranged.  He is a builder rather than a destroyer.  The wheels if government aren't an object of derision or hatred.  The checks are in the mail , the IRS is being restored to a functioning office .  Income tax brackets are more expansive for people that are making less money, adding a little justness for those if us making less than 600,000 a year.  We avoided a recession.  My lifestyle spending hasn't changed.  Biden doesn't behave like a buffoon in public.   He's not an embarrassment to us .  Other world leaders respect him and his team rather than dreading trying to make plans with a deranged person who has no political philosophy or strategic plans except to inaugurate military parades in his honor.  Biden is consistent with China unlike Trump wants to crush China, while at the same time allowing his daughter to obtain licenses to set of businesses in China and did this while in the WH.  Biden doesn't make financial deals with the people who drove planes into the towers while is son in law made a couple of billion of dollars....while working in the WH.  My mind is creating more arguments bit my thumbs are tired.

Yep, Yep and all the yeppers!

Beerman said:

OK, fair enough.  I don't agree with all that, but at least you have your reasons.

So, do you believe the polling that shows Biden with low approval numbers is inaccurate,  and that on reality most people are satisfied with the job he is doing?  

I neither believe nor disbelieve polls.  They are irrelevant to me.  I get plenty of emailed polls from the Democrats.  I delete them because they are an insult to my intelligence.
