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.

It is a news story.  Fox reporting on it doesn't mean Trump supporters are freaking out.

I don't have a problem with the pardon.  It's a presidential power, and who wouldn't keep their son out of prison if they could?

I do have a problem with his lying about.  And while he was publicly telling us he wouldn't pardon Hunter, NBC is reporting he was discussing the matter with aides.

I have a bigger problem with the liberal propagandist press and Democrats telling us how Biden and the Dems were on higher moral ground, showing us a contrast between Biden and Trump in regards to their respect for the rule of law and order, etc.  This morning I listened to a 10 minutes of such sound bites.

And then, Biden's statement.  He's complaining about (with lies to try snd back ip his argument) of the Justice Dept and courts being weaponized and Hunter being singled out and prosecuted unfairly.  Things he, Democrats,  liberal media,  and some members here criticized Trump for.

Fair enough.  Biden knocked himself off any high moral ground by lying and those of us that criticized Trump for lying and making things up on the daily have to eat some crow.  The backlash is understandable.

Just so I don't deflect, I'll say my tolerance for and republican criticism at the hypocrisy of liberal and the "liberal media" is a zero on scale of 1 to 10.  Biden and myself seem to be all out of f's to give what anyone thinks.  LOL. 

As I've said before, I'm glad that honesty seems to matter to you.

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

Why go on a tirade about a fantasy that isn't occurring?  That doesn't deserve a response.  But I'm glad you're having fun here.  Me too.

Personally I am glad Biden pardoned his son, just so Trump can't "git 'im" once he is sworn in. You know if Trump could, he would be on Hunter like white on rice.  Just my opinion, not looking for a lecture or a debate. Just sayin'.....

Outta here---------------

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.  

Yanukovych was removed from office by a vote of the Ukrainian parliament, and later sentenced in absentia to 13 years in prison for high treason. He has been ranked as one of the worst presidents in Ukrainian history. 

Putin's war is responsible for the loss of life in Ukraine and Russia.

For the same reason some kept going on about nightmare fantasies of a fascist dictatorship in 2016 then again in 2020 and a 3rd time 2024. 

Fun I guess?

You've evolved from "it's really just about Biden's cognitive impairment" to bashing Dems for fun about our "nightmare fantasies".

(Trump as President is a nightmare)

Again, I thinkit's going to be Republicans that keep hom in check sich as stopping his pick for FBI director.

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

Of course they would, but speculating fantasies is something you've just criticized.  It's not hypocrisy if it hasn't happened.

CNN didn't run 10 stories when Trump's charges were dropped because of his immunity but they indeed would criticize him for pardonong a child.  Not something I would think to talk aboutas it didn't happen.

Fox News is a Republican organization and I expected nothing but how they acted. It's too juicy of a story.

Extremist groups were storming government buildings and holding family's hostage.  If these groups didn't have western support the coup would have never been successful.  The masses elected Yanukovych however Russiaphobia and globalism won in the end.

Trump as President is hardly a nightmare.  United States needs to be united again.  This starts with strong borders.

I hope so considering all this extra baggage that has come up combined with his lack of traditional qualifications.  He isn't worth Trump spending political capital on.

He wasn't on any high moral ground with those of us who have paid attention to his past history and also knew without a doubt he would pardon Hunter.  And he also knew all along he woukd pardon Hunter.

It was the liberal press who put him (and themselves) on higher moral ground while doing the opposite to Trump.

"S.E. Cupp marveled that "the contrast" between Biden and Donald Trump — who protested the politically-motivated zombie case brought against him by Alvin Bragg — was "profound.”

Andrew Weissmann declared that Biden was "living what it means to have rule of law in this country.”

Legal commentator Neal Katyal said he knew "no other word" for Biden's decision other than "presidential.”

Chris Whipple, the author of a book about the Biden White House, called his choice "extraordinary" and stood in awe of his "moral clarity.”

Biden biographer Evan Osnos expounded on his subject's "old-school" conception of his duty and agitation at "abuses of power.”

https://nypost.com/2024/12/02/opinion/media-lied-about-joe-biden-for-years-and-he-just-burned-them-for-their-obsequiousness/

The above opinion piece also reminds us that the liberal press was complicit in covering up lies about Hunter's laptop.  Covering up Joe's cognitive decline.  Advancing the "threat to democracy " narrative.

It's a shame that some are out of F's to give about criticism of them.

I think even CNN knows the error made with the vigorous prosecution of Trump. Or at least the mass pin point focus on it. The voters weren't on their get Trump train. Or they really fear a dictatorship.
