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.

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  I will continue to point out deflection whether you think I need to or not.  

I'm just saying you don't need to explain yet again why you feel justified in deflection.  I will continue to point it out.  Karen deflected as well

As is your right.  I'd rather talk about the obscene differences between any other American politician before 2016 and Trump.  I'm happy to talk about Biden's cognitive status but I'm going to talk about it by comparing it to the cognitive status of other presidents and elected officials.  For context.

Please tell me that you don't believe every thing that Congressional Republicans publish under once credible titles.  That was Trump's House Republicans campaigning for him last Summer.  

That's kind of funny.

Guess it depends on who you listen to.  I don't think the economy reflected failure and was in the ruins Trump would have us believe.  Yes there was a lot of inflation and issues during his presidency and the economy was always shaky.  

Yes, all of a sudden again people care about the deficit that Trump also contributed to but were quiet about.  Biden certainly didn't help the deficit.

Biden's economic legacy: Historic wage gains, investment and job growth but marred by inflation

https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/19/economy/us-biden-economic-legacy/index.html

People were concerned about the economy and prices, but now I guess are ready to brace themselves for higher prices for the sake of Trump's agenda against fentanyl and immigrants and America First,

But what exactly are voters disapproving of? What do they mean when they talk about the economy? Therein lies a disconnect between most economic indicators that economists consider — things like GDP, the unemployment rate, job growth and inflation — which are all looking up, and how voters feel. When voters measure economic well-being, they're much more likely to use more personal metrics, such as how easily their family can meet their basic needs. That can be more of a feeling than an exact calculation, and right now, the Biden reelection campaign is battling the general sense that everything has gotten a little bit worse.

Trump is a liar.  He creates narratives. Biden wasn't a miracle worker nor was he a complete failure.  He was a more than adequate chief executive who got us out of a pandemic/economic mess left by his predecessor.

It it funny though?  That same Summer "Republican campaigning " saw an election victory for Trump! So it was  effective but wouldn't say "kind of funny".

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.

 

 

Some still claim him to be more cognitively intact than Trump. And assign non qualified diagnosis of mental illness as well. Like its an undisputed fact. LOL.

Funny that people like you can't discern reality from delusion and voted for a fascist felon because congressional Republicans convinced you that Biden was a crime boss?  Yep. That's hysterical.

It's pretty clear that Donnie is cray cray and the evidence of his dementia is getting more evident.  Do you ever wonder if the reckless, impulsive, and vindictive liar is going to fall into his face when he stands in that forward leaning stance?  Isn't that a symptom of something?  

Hahaha. I guess you forgot what the symptoms of NPD  and frontotemopral dementia include.

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. 

(note: I will cross post this to the Trump Thread since he's the subject here)

I don't think the numbers support your claim about Biden, but here we are again with the pain talking point. I don't think Trump himself knows what he means by that, but I am certain his surrogates don't know either. 

What exactly will be causing this pain that Trump say people understand and are willing to accept? Americans have historically been willing to sacrifice for the greater good, once the reason is explained, but Trump never did that.  It could be the tariffs, bur his stated reason for the tariffs changed on a daily basis.

Quote

Trump made the claim on Saturday as he announced 25% tariffs against Mexico that the US said were a response to illegal immigration and the intolerable alliance between Mexico and drug cartels.

I'm sure lots of people would have a problem feeling the pain that ensued after he accused the Mexican government of being in cahoots with a drug cartel. But the whole thing is now "paused", I guess because they never considered the possible consequences? It almost like he said told the American people their pain will be caused by Trump's p*ss poor planning?
