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.

Point taken.

Also, some here say that it's "cherry-picking" when Biden's gaffes and examples of aging mind and body are pointed out.

Then, to counter back they point out what an amazing speech he made.  Just the other day someone went all the way back to the SOTU address he read flawlessly from a teleprompter a few months ago as an example of how on top of his game he is.

It seems the cherry-picking comes from both sides.

The right wing media is very intent upon making the "both sides argument" and how cherry picking is an equal opportunity political sport.  You make this argument as you've engaged in cherry picking Biden's speech patterns while ignoring entire speeches and interviews where Trump's nearly incoherent rambling speech was littered with associative looseness and entire speeches, like the SOTU where Biden is cogent and engaged both on and off teleprompter.  

Biden's SOTU speech was so good that Trump had to suggest that Biden is taking some miracle drug that reverses the dementia that Trump has convinced his cult is ravaging the current president.  The lies and cherry picking and projection don't even have to be particularly good or compelling to motivate everyday Trump supporters to repeat them as if they are true and representative. It's a dangerous phenomenon that will be studied for years to come.

Yep. I am not afraid or embarrassed to speak truth as I experience it.  The "both sides" argument is a right wing excuse to accept Trump's many unacceptable and disqualifying character flaws.  It's part of normalizing the abnormal.

Watch David Muir's Exclusive Interview with President Biden on the D-Day Anniversary

In this interview 6/6/24 appears tired from long day. He'd spoken with Zelensky earlier in the day after his AM Normandy speech. In speaking with David Muir, stated will accept outcome of son Hunters trial andnot pardon him.

Friday 6/7/24    President Biden commemorates 80th anniversary of D-Day with Normandy speech defending democracy

Here Biden delivered forceful defense of democracy remarks from Pointe du Hoc in Normandy, where Army Rangers scaled 100-foot cliffs to seize the German ammunition that could have been used against troops at Omaha and Utah beaches during D-Day.. Voice much stronger after some rest.

 

Added late:

It is interesting to read comments below each ABC News report.  Those who watched both speeches mostly praised President Bidens speech sentiments and his strong delivery, while interview comments saw him as weak, senile due to low voice not putting total picture together of how long day he had talking with many, many people including D-Day servicemen.  The CONTENT he delivered far above what his opponent spouting these days.

Hope he enjoyed the French state dinner last night.

It was a good speech, as would be expected from the POTUS at such an occasion.  It's remarkable it has to mentioned and pointed out when our current president delivers one.

Not that I'd blame him, but I don't believe for a second that he wouldn't pardon Hunter.

He also hasn't known Putin for over 40 years.  We know his mind is sharp, so he must be lying.

Maybe you've noticed that people must continually point out that Biden is fully capable of delivering intelligent and thoughtful speeches because his opponent and his supporters keep spreading the idea that Biden is in the grips of advanced dementia.  You've made that suggestion yourself.  

That makes you appear disingenuous in your comparison of the two men. 

Of course you believe that Biden will pardon Hunter even though he said he wouldn't... that's what Trump's messaging wants you to believe.

Kinda like how he repetes his left radical propaganda? The best trick a fascist made was making people believe they are not fascists and they actually care abput the people.

Are you talking about president Biden repeating radical left propaganda?

Fascism is an example of right wing extremism.  Biden is definitely not a fascist. 

Biden lowered insulin costs and reduced our of pocket costs for dozens other pharmaceutical products.  That is evidence that he actually cares about the people.

That is correct.  Biden has shown symptoms of dementia.  Whatever you think of Trump doesn't change that.

Yes, he will pardon Hunter.  That would be expected and no one will be surprised if he does it.  He didn't have to explicity say he would  to answer the question.  I immediately thought of two ways to answered that better and I don't have decades of political experience and a team of professionals coaching me.  He simply chose to lie.

Just like when he said he never discussed Hunter's business with him.  How unusual.  We all would expect that he did,  so why would he say he didn't?  He's lied so much his whole life he simply believes whatever he says will be taken as being true.

WOOT--- Biden got congress to cap Medicare drug cost deductible to $2,000 starting in 2025 so I'll be saving ~ $1,000 next year.

My deceased husbands ambrisentan cost $6,197.50 for 30 tablets/monthly.  Thankfully I was able to keep COBRA til he passed in 2000 my health system paid for med --- total med cost $140,000 that year. Would be  Medicare following month.

No. I'm talking about your repetitive propaganda.  As evident in these threads. 

Fascism may be traditionally "right" but it seems to have taken on by the left. 

But of course they will do it better.
