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.

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? 

 

 The understanding of political current events and history by devoted Trump supporters is incredibly shallow and simplistic.  

Imagine calling the January 6th committee political theater. I have no patience for that level of disregard for our republic because you are so enamored with a corrupt felon.  Your "joke" that her(our) concern about Trump's attempts to break our republic as "super serious fake" is obnoxious and threatening to this republic.  Honestly, I'm ashamed for Americans who are so deluded and indoctrinated that they have begun to believe that suspending the constitution or supporting that notion would be an act of patriotism.  

It's such a shame that poitical disagreement had been conflated with un-American plotting to disrupt a peaceful transfer of power.  It's more of a shame that millions of Americans cannot tell the difference to save their lives.  Trying to have a discussion with people who believe nonsense and defend the indefensible is impossible.

Increasing outreach to Black Americans, President Biden and VP Harris came to Philly's Girard College - boarding school for ~ 300 disadvantaged youth K-12 to encourage youth vote and educate on efforts improve Black lives.

"Joe took his Wheaties" overheard after this speach.

I watched this the other day.  Biden delivered a good speech.  Kamala evidenced her consistent skill at messaging.

On a side note, they really should market this miracle drug that Trump says Biden is taking to mask the evidence of his deep dementia.  Who knew such a drug existed until Trump pointed this out to us.

Maybe Donald needs some Provigil to promote wakefulness.

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.  Clarence and Ben have both dallied with corruption.  

Actually, she is not the failure.  She is the canary in the coal mine of Trumpism.  Carson was anti-science enough to catch Covid in the White House mingling with Mark Meadows and the other thugs.  He almost died from Covid but at least he admits it.  How far he has fallen from his career as a surgeon.  I used to admire him but I think his dementia started during his stint in the WH.  Who would buy a $32,000 dining room set for his office and charge it to HUD and think they were going to get away with it?  Someone who is a complete narcissist and think the rules don't apply to him.

Well, Trump is always saying exactly the wrong thing, because his self-described genius covers everything, and therefore his "campaign team" is just for show. To me it's just laughable when the pundits put on their serious-face and opine about "strategy". You'd think they'd have noticed by now that there isn't one. 

Donald Trump himself set up such a low bar for Biden, who unsurprisingly stepped over it, "I demand a drug test!" = "He did a great job, and I'm terrified".

It's easy to imagine that Trump would  expect that any pre-debate drug testing would only involve testing Biden. It seems that a certain measure of Trump's political strategy is simply to belittle his opponents on a personal level.  It's not sophisticated.

Not really.  Is that the end of the discussion?

We talked about this when the report that Biden was an old man with memories problems.

Quote

However, neurologists say blanking on the names of acquaintances or having difficulty remembering dates from the past, especially when under stress, can simply be part of normal aging.

"If you asked me when my mother passed away, I couldn't necessarily tell you the exact year because it was many years ago,” Dr. Paul Newhouse, clinical core leader for the Vanderbilt Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, said.

Almost every older patient has trouble remembering people's names, Newhouse said. 

"I think it's by far the most universal complaint of every person as they age,” Newhouse said.

I personally don't think Biden has "serious memory problems".  His performance as President has not been one of a man with dementia.  That being said, the President of the United States is probably one of the most important jobs in the world and even if Biden is aging normally, he's too old to be President.  But like people that are voting for a convicted felon that's just a few years younger, I'm not going to consider changing my vote currently.

When Trump supporters make the unsupported claim that Biden is too demented to get their vote I think they aren't trying to sway other people as much as they are justifying their own votes.  It helps them to convince themselves that the lies and corruption and convictions don't matter if the other guy is cognitively diminished. It makes them feel better about their bad choice.
