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.

social media users blasted the "incredible scene"

That says enough for me 😉

Simple deflection from the fact that the man with the most powerful and influential job title in the world often follows the orders of his staff to not speak in public or who he can let ask him a question.  And when on his own decides to, his staff has to emergently shoo away the media.

This must be more insinuation that the president is feeble and overcome by dementia.  I can't imagine what relevance it has outside of that marketing, maybe you could clarify the point you are trying too make more directly.

Poor guy.  He just wanted to get out of Saginaw ASAP.  He is too old for a grueling campaign.  I'll bet those Fox reporters didn't spend any extra time hanging out in Saginaw either.  He should campaign less.  With Trump becoming more incoherent in public, his handlers probably dream of getting him to shut up.  It's as if he doesn't want the job but won't let anyone else have it either...you know, like a psychopathic stalker.

Agreed that he is too old.  Or more accurately,  feeble.

I don't know what importance it is, or how you would know, that Fox, or any other reporters want to get out of Saginaw.

Like, hate,  or tolerate him, most can see he doesn't follow his handlers direction.   And, that is for better and sometimes for the worse.  

Who knows who is pulling the puppet strings for Bernie...I mean Joe.

Biden is selfish.  If he moved aside, a Newsome or someone else halfway decent would beat Trump.

But, go ahead.  Keep defending him at your own peril.

Yet, that feeble guy is managing to govern and communicate pretty effectively which is refreshing when reminded of the way his republican opponent governs and communicates.  

Yes, we all can see that Trump, Biden's political opponent, is erratic and doesn't take direction or counsel well.  We've all seen or heard examples of Trump ignoring sound advice and running his mouth in costly ways.  

That's an interesting projection about string pulling.  Right now, Biden's narcissistic opponent is in need of large sums of cash. We've seen that guy look completely beholden to Putin on the world stage, you remember that embarrassment in Helsinki, right? Who will be pulling those strings now? Now there's a relatively public transaction involved.  Trump is nothing is not transactional.

Trump's selfishness is narcissistic on a pathologic level.  If he would just quietly retire as a billionaire, some halfway decent republican could beat the fragile guy with dementia and his incompetent VP. 

But go ahead and keep defending the rapist and cheat who lied to you about a pandemic before trying to retain power that he lost in a fair and square election. Keep defending the guy who muses about terminating the constitution and assassination of those who oppose his ideas.  There's peril in going down in history as part of the group that supported the fellow who ended American democracy as we currently know it. Be careful when the choices in life are so clearly binary.

I agree with the first statement.  Biden should retire and to not step aside is egotistical and selfish.

But the second sentence is a bit overly dramatic.  I think it's fair to defend Biden on points of accomplishment despite him being old.  Just like people are focusing on the accomplishments of their candidate of choice and focusing on the positive and what they like.  Obviously there's much to criticize.

But you're not alone.  A lot of people, politicians included are saying that Biden is ruining the country.

This guy in a letter to the editor, that used to be a Democrat: He is ruining this great country.....Biden doesn't have the brains God gave him. If he gets in again this country is gone; I hate to say it.

Isn't it odd that record job creation, falling inflation, rising wages and strengthened global alliances are marketed to the population as "ruining the country"?  Folks must miss the daily lies, corruption and chaos that were so consistent during Trump's embarassing single term.

Yes, it's just what candidates and parties do to promote their agenda.  I can't blame them for that.  

I think the problem with promoting "falling inflation" is that the damage is done.  Prices are already high and people are struggling and the right is capitalizing on that mood.

That's what propagandists do.  Republicans are normalizing that as expected political discourse.  It's not.  It's propaganda.
