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.

And, Biden is talked about to distract from Trump.   Even though what's new about the Biden talk is that it's now also coming from the left.  The right has been talking about it for a few years.

Makes sense to someone. 

True.

I was a bit critical of Fox News devoting so much time to this story and the book for a while, but have to remember they've been covering Biden's decline for a long time as well.  Not that I watched Fox News but saw it all day when I was working on patient's TVs (remember I live in Florida).   

I do have to agree with Heron on the point that he's an ex president, that his presidency ended well, and it's no longer relevant in political theater so on a scale of 1 to 10, it's a 1, although a topic worthy not to be changed to a discussion about Trump when brought up.  

The coverage surrounding his medical diagnosis as part of the cover up doesn't sit well with me though and I dropped out of that discussion early.

That's all.

I now understand a reason it's important that Biden was impaired and it was covered up. How could a man with dementia issue pardons.

But according to Trump, Biden was already dead.

Michael Cohen (and others )didn't get a pardon from Biden, but he thinks maybe his request was denied because Biden was impaired, so he's asking Donald Trump to do the right thing. Maybe Trump will review the record, and decide Michael Cohen deserves the pardon so unjustly denied him by Joe Biden.  

File under "you couldn't make this s--- up if you tried."

The article doesn't say anything about them asking Trump to do "the right thing".

Why is the WashPo covering this?  Biden is no longer president.

Maybe they're distracting us from Trump,

The biggest reason to publish it is to talk about someone who isn't currently president and isn't currently engaged in wildly weird behavior or in a very public bromance breakup. Why not talk about Biden rather than talk about Trump being a close friend and travel partner of Epstein for many many years?  

Since it was asked, yeah, distracting from Trump's crazy baloney by pointing to someone else is a thing that complicit media would do.  It's actually a common feature of propaganda to distract people with other less relevant or less important information.

They probably are. WaPo is taking their marching orders from Jeff Bezos, and has been for years now. There's a reason why so many staff have jumped ship since 2016.

You persist in thinking that we need someone else's permission to have an opinion and what that opinion must be. Well, you do you, boo. I'll continue to take my leadership where I choose. Trust me, it won't be some obscenely rich whiteboy that desperately wants his promised tax cuts.

Find a new gotcha. This one is dead and is in sore need of a decent burial.
