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.

Trump's accomplishments can be criticized from the liberal point of view but from the conservative side praised and we've been over them many times here.  Do you really want to hear about them?

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.

Actually when Trump was President it was headline news when he made a good speech that showed leadership that wasn't full of lies, rambling, and childish name calling.

I remember that people made a lot of fun of George Bush, Jr.  too.  

But yeah, when a present delivers a speech that is honest, fact filled, from the heart it shouldn't be pointed out as it's expected a President should deliver such a speech.

Too bad no matter what the outcome unless someone dies we won't get such a speech for a while.

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. 

Nah. He'll just say he doesn't remember when he pardoned his son Bo cuz he died in 'nam in 1945.

We get speeches like that now from Biden.

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. 

Sure. 

Facts and truth are not the same as propaganda.  You would have to show where I was deliberately misleading you with made up nonsense peppered in with reality.  You can't do that.  

You don't know what your are talking about relative to fascism.  That makes all of your remarks suspect and somewhat unbelievable.  Don't worry.  Believability and integrity don't really matter in Trump's orbit.

Sure. Biden shows signs of dementia in exactly the same way his opponent shows his stable genius.  

Your statements are confused.  First you say he WILL pardon his son should he be convicted then you say IF. 

Then you go on to repeat the right wing claim about Joe discussing Hunter's business even though Hunter's partners and business associates said that was nonsense.  Funny how house Republicans didn't want any of that testimony in an open hearing. Nevertheless, it is apparently just sufficient to speculate about Joe's crimes for Trump voters to repeat those claims as if there is evidence to support them.  

You want to believe so badly that Biden will pardon Hunter just like you want to believe that a Trump is a reasonable option for the presidency and isn't really a corrupt and lying felon. If only you had evidence that either was true that you could share here.

"Facts and truth" true or not when used in repetitive religious like chants to sway alternate thoughts, definitely is propaganda.  Especially when large groups of people do the same. 

Stating a fact and presenting it in a way that misleading is text book propaganda.

No body here denies Trump's crauss and childish rhetoric. How he rambles about nothing and feeds the demorats first hand material daily. 

However you will not even consider Biden has any cognitive decline. Makes it seem you are overcompensating.....

We all know of grandma who shows signs if dementia all day but when the family takes her to the  Dr. She's sharp as a whip and breezes through her cognitive exam. 

Only to find she's wearing her bra and underwear over her pants and shirt the next day. 

I think this fits with Biden's moments of clarity....

"Should he be convicted" or "if he's convicted"?  Huh?  They're the same.  Am I missing something?

The point was I think anyone would think that Hunter and Joe would probably discuss Hunter's business (and how would others know they didn't).  That wouldn't be unusual, and no one would think anything of it.  What was unusual was when he made it a point to say he didn't.  And we know now that they did.

I want "so badly" to believe Joe would pardon Hunter so I feel better about voting for Trump?  LOL...sure, that's quite a stretch.  

I'll vote for Mr Potatoehead over any Democrat who is in the mix, and I will unashamedly vote for Trump .  I don't need reasons to justify it to myself.  I've shared that sentiment several times.  Perhaps you're projecting.

Presidents pardon all sorts of folks.  Why wouldn't we expect a president to pardon his son?  It's not a criticism.  I'm sure I'm not the only one here who thinks he will if or should Hunter be convicted.

Yes, it makes the news when either one does,  and the talking heads guve kudos and cruticism depending on what side they're on. 

I was speaking more about the folks here who need to let us know how good a job Joe did speaking somewhere.
