President Biden thread

Tweety said:

It's a new story going on I suppose.  And if reporters that were close to the President and thought that he had mental issues they should have reported.  Also I think there was cover up by politicians close to him at the time.  Again, talking about an ex-President that was kicked out of the running and whose party lost the election is not something I'm interested in.

@beerman can speak for himself, but perhaps other than not approving of the mass pardons, he is on board with the Trump agenda so doesn't feel the need to discuss every topic we bring up here.  That he'd rather talk about Biden is his business and this is the Biden thread, we shouldn't deflect to Trump.

 

That's right.  He can talk about Biden all he needs to.  And I will contrast Biden to Trump for the enlightenment of Trump supporters if I prefer. They can't hide from the comparison in these threads, they'll have to stay in right wing spaces to fully avoid that.

I don't mind your scolding.

Well what we had with Biden wasn't working so hopefully this will be a little pain in the beginning for much better later. I don't see how it could be anything but this after the flow of "free" money being spent by the last admin. 

That is an opinion that is at odds with reality but fully in line with the fascist propaganda.  Well done.  

Tweety said:

Yep, many people are buying into the idea that his promise to lower prices isn't happening and the long term goals is important.  Good on Trump for quickly bringing his followers into line there.

I understand that spending is an issue with conservatives and always has been, so disapproval of Biden's spending and its affect on inflation is noted.  Trump spent a lot his 1st administration too and cut revenue but the deficit didn't seem to bother the now defunct Tea Party then.  

Covid makes it a bit difficult to judge both presidents.

Trump is moving quickly to cut spending but also is spending more on the military and the border situation, but it's only been a few weeks.  While I may not like what gets cut, I understand we need to eliminate waste and cut spending.  I don't approve of any ideas of tax cuts floating around at times like these.

However, it should also be noted that inflation was cooling the last year under Biden. It was 2.9% in December.  Not exactly 2% which is the goal but it should be acknowledged that things were working under Biden and inflation was dropping.  Problem was the damage of high inflation was done and on people's minds.

 

It is not "buying into the idea", it is common sense/economics that dictate the fact that it will take some time for the economy to stabilize. 

"followers" LOL

Nice article about the many "journalists" who worked so hard to cover up what we could all (well most of us) see very clearly. Perhaps if the Biden admin (who ever that was) didn't have so many destructive policies that affected us (the USA), and especially his last minute/out the door orders, the new administration wouldn't be so busy cleaning up the mess. There is no way that this mess will be cleaned up anytime soon but at least they are trying and that is what the majority of Americans want.

Hahaha

Biden cleaned up a good bit of Trump's last mess. Now, Trump is creating another chaotic mess, but you seem to be oblivious to it. That's remarkable.

It's taking no time at all for Trump and team to destabilize our economy along with our global alliances.  The DOW dropped 500 points this morning because of Trump and Musk's campaign of chaos and uncertainty.  I guess maybe your media doesn't tell you about those things? 

Hi Daisy4RN !

We have long ago established that you will do this and we've also established that I will criticize deflection.  Nothing is going to change.  No need to point it out yet again.

The economy was stable (again old news but want to clarify), it's going to have to stabilize after the tariffs and Trump messes it up for a while (even he acknowledges this) and we don't know what is going to happen.  Yes, it's common sense that prices might rise, but it's not what he campaigned on so he has to sell the idea and people have to buy into something they didn't vote for.

If you "LOL" at followers, let me say "supporters"?  "people that voted for him"?  "people that want low prices that he promised but aren't going to get them?".  What is appropriate that won't make you LOL?

The smooth economy that Donald Trump was poised to inherit suddenly looks a bit rockier — with critics saying the president-elect is contributing to the uncertainty.

US stocks lost ground on Monday in reaction to President Donald Trump's announcement of tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada. But the major averages pared losses mid-morning after Trump said he would delay tariffs against Mexico by a month.

I know how much people here hate to discuss old news about ex-presidents.  While Biden was in office, I almost forgot Trump ever was.

Yes, Biden's cognitive decline is old news for some of us.  Not as old news for others.  Same with the cover up, which really hasn't been discussed and I don't expect it to be.  It's not even acknowledged by many here.

I've posted many an article or comment that have been ghosted by the group.  What interests me doesn't always interest others.  It happens.  At least I try not to change the subject as I ignore you.  LOL

Correct.   Nothing is going to change.  No need to point out your dislike for my comparisons to Trump yet again. See how that works? 

It's just discussion.

I imagine that the right-wing media is interested in looking for a Biden cover-up rather than looking at what's going on right now in presidential activities.  That's funny.
