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.

Evidence of one, that Biden pardoned of son.  You're going to have a hard time convincing me of the other one that Trump was a reasonable option.  I know he won but that doesn't say "reasonable option" to me.

I do wonder that the people say that Trumps charges were because he was Trump, if they feel the same about Hunter Biden's charges being because he was Biden's son.  Particularly the gun charge which is something someone really had to dig deep to find.  
But as I said then, a charge is a charge and guilty is guilty.  

Trump won the election and popular vote.  That is evidence (perhaps not proof) that he was a reasonable choice.

Not sure lying on a background check to purchase a gun was digging deep.

Biden is old news.  I really don't care if he pardons his son.  I am just glad of the outcome of the recent election and the cabinet picks.  It looks like America is back on track and Hunter won't change that.

Of course you are.  Care to explain why?

He's paid back the taxes.

The gun charge is not something that usually results in prison time unless committed with another crime like robbery. 
He's had his personal life drug through the public square, including a nude picture displayed on the floor of Congress. I don't see how the public is served by incarceration. 
Im tired of the double standard. 
And I like seeing Trump supporters freak out.

He hasn't been sentenced yet.

What makes you believe he was going to receive a unfairly imposed sentence?

I haven't heard of Trump supporters freaking out as most knew he was going to be pardoned.

Tired of the double standard?  I guess it depends which way that goes, eh?

Looks like we now have evidence of both, doesn't it?

And evidently Trump was the reasonable choice for the presidency!  Popular vote and all. (Sorry Tweety).

Would you hold the same opinion if Trump pardoned one of his sons? Double standards and all? 

Like there wouldn't be the "Trump is a threat to our justice system...... " if he pardoned his son's.And "Trump is a liar, he said he would not pardon his convicted son..... our democracy is in danger reeeeeh" Biden does it. Everyone "okay with it". 

Trump supporters only "freak out" as they are following the precedent set by the left to freak out over everything Trump does. Now are holding the left to their own standard and outrage. And some are trolls. 

Most of us don't care. It's fun throwing it back at the democrats.  

My personal opinion is why not? Biden doesn't have an election to win. He loves his son very much. I hope he enjoys his retirement with his family. If I was his age I would do it too.. A gift from a father to his son in his final years and a memory Hunter can always cherish.

OK. It's just a coincidence that Foxnews is running so many stories about it.

If Hunter Biden was never doing business in Ukraine then VP Biden under Obama would have never supported the 2014 Ukraine coup which overthrew democratically elected President Yanukovych. The Ukraine "war" would have never occurred.  This family has cost the United States hundreds of billions of dollars and countless lives of innocent civilians in Ukraine and Russia.  But I guess Trump being a brash alpha male who makes mean tweets supersedes that.

It's fair to bring TMB's posts back up but he's never been one to not admit when he was wrong about something either.

I do wonder that the people say that Trumps charges were because he was Trump, if they feel the same about Hunter Biden's charges being because he was Biden's son.  Particularly the gun charge which is something someone really had to dig deep to find and apparently is an usual charge and rare.  
But as I said about Trump, a charge is a charge and guilty is guilty.  

I think his absence is a admission of being wrong while not owning up to it. I would have still posted if Trump lost and I think Beerman would to. How do you think his post would be like?  It's a shame he hasn't returned. Nobody is insulting baloney personality.  Unlike his many implicit and explicit personal insults. I think it is fair to mention him in general and in moderation. I'll go as far to say it less interesting without him.

They are direct competitors of CNN. Who you think wouldn't be running 24 hr news feeds with crying anchors if Trump did that?

Trump is also a "racist fascist dictator that wants to destroy our democracy".

It definitely depends on which way it goes!! 

The courts are completely unbiased and pillars of justice when Trump is being prosecuted. But Hunter will receive unfair sentencing.
