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 understand that you need to deny that un-American intention in order to support the convicted felon.

I remember a time when people accepted each others differences.  

I don't.

But I do remember a time when politicians could work through their differences and compromise occasionally.  Comprise wasn't a kiss of death like it is now.  But they didn't necessarily accept each others differences.  Even in the Reagan years we have government shutdowns.

Since coming out as gay at age 17 and being rejected, loosing a job in the 80s, my perspective on people accepting each others differences might differ somewhat.

Right. These "experts" have treated Trump? They have access to his full medical records? They interviewd him? Pleeeeeese. We all know even Dr are bias and partisan.  Especially when power and money is involved. 

So don't guess, what mental illness does he have? 

Syphilis with brain involvement?  Normal aging for a sociopath?

Yes. Being a gay person you  probably different takes on acceptance. 

I hope it has become better for you.

Tell the democrats that Clarence Thomas is still a POC even if he doesn't share the sane ideas they try to impose. Or Ben Carson isn't a white supremist because he deviates from the democratic plantation. 

Tell Cheney she alone is resposible for her failure as a politician. Her  constituents voted her out. Democracy.

I don't think she considers herself a failure as a politician. She knows if she had fallen in line with Trump's lies, and as an incumbent she most likely would have exceeded her 2016 winning margin. When her own party stripped her of her leadership assignments, she didn't seem surprised. I think she's courageous.

What in the world does Clarence Thomas or Ben Carson have to do with acceptance of political parties for criticism of Trump? 

No, that's either a completely naive POV about what happened to Cheney or you are trying to gas light us again.  You have to remember that we pay attention to the actual facts and details of these things.  We don't fall for partisan BS mascarading as news or reality.  The right wing extremists primaried Cheney with a Trump loyalist.  She is an active participant in all of the House's political theater around impeachments and weaponization.

So, you hope it gets better for gays while you support politicians and political policy which marginalize the LGBTQ community. The contradictions and dissonance are remarkable.

The voters think she's a failure.  That's why they didn't vote for her.

Tell me how "accepting" the democrats are of those 2 people.......? 

Yes. Cheney was the star of political theaters. With her super serous fake expression of concern. 

Tell me also, what did the dems say abput her dad? Were they accepting of him?

Thank you.  It 100% has gotten better,...gays in the military, gay marriage, working for an employer that actively participates in Pride, Presidents supportive of Pride, the Pride flag being flow in our City Hall, representation in the media.  On and on things I never thought I'd see as a young adult has unfolded for the better.  I don't take that for granted and feel very comfortable in my own skin.  It's been a struggle.

It does feel different though the last few years.  Something is raising its head against us and it doesn't feel good.  

Anyway...back to the topic at hand.
