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.

You just give your opinions without evidence.  And here you are again on the Biden thread avoiding talking about Biden.  I will toss this out:  https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/oklahoma-seeking-return-2m-worth-anti-malaria-drug-75517793

Nobody forced this governor to buy into the HCQ nonsense and now he wants his money back?  Biden would never fall for the HCQ fever and have states wasting taxpayer money on snake oil.  He defers to the specialists rather than to ignorance.

The governor bought it in April,  according to the article.   At about that time, that drug was under emergency authorization by the FDA for use, and a clinical trial was underway. 

It was a reasonable gamble he took.  Not buying into "nonsense".  I doubt Trump,  or if had been Biden,  had much influence.

Or maybe you just don't remember that?  Perhaps a little research before posting such a ill-informed opinion might be in order.

He is taking a step away from the last Hamas bombings in Israel becaue BOTH sides are represented by criminal losers.  I call that wisdom.  I'm sure you can try to set me straight with that but please don't defend your argument with arguments by people who are concerned more with destruction than construction.  

Im unclear on what you're trying to say.  Israel is a sovereign nation.  And our best friend in the middle-east.  Hamas is a terrorist organization.  Hopefully Biden won't cave into the pressure of the uneducated nutjob AOC and her friends.

They are spinning the story as a side-effect of generous unemployment benefits.  Just give me the facts.  The story up to that point was merely pointing out what the Labor Department said - fine.  We will probably never know why some people would rather live on unemployment benefits over working.  My general philosophy is "Pay them and they will comel"  I'd love to see that experiment.  But this is a website that caters to yellow journalism and readers that don't mind.

You may want to look at the byline closer, and see where my "yellow journalism " website obtained the story from.

Does that mean that you believe that the Washington Free Beacon is an accurate resource?

You both missed my point.  I'm not talking about the quality of his sources, although he isn't alone in, at least occasionally, in using questionable sources.  This is one of the primary reasons that I rarely post in the political forums; most, if not all sources I might use are going to be labeled right wing propaganda, and immediately discounted

Again, my comment was in reference to this:

He is far from the only member here to do this.  And, it is not uncommon when I ask for sources to either be told to find them myself, or have my intelligence and understanding of current events questioned.

Because if you choose to discuss political issues you need to be up with current events and if not, then you decide? 

I don't know what your specialty is but I'm pretty sure if a layperson decided to argue with you about it, you might think they are a bit Lady Gaga.

Well we always send SolverBoy Kushner! He did such a great job before, didn't he? 

What a waste of protoplasm!

With your demanding schedule, its interesting how you sure seem to spend a lot of time seeking out and interacting with Trump and GOP supporters.  

 

It's probably time spent reading the news instead of 15 second videos on some website displaying their axe they use for grinding.  Why shouldn't anyone be allowed to demonstrate their interest in how the Republican party is being eviscerated without a snide comment from you?

With increasing unemployment, inflation, gas prices, and tension in the middle east.....to borrow your phrase, is this really what gets your panties in a wad?

The destruction of the GOP by Trump and his nefarious lies and ambitions represents a real and present threat to our republic.  Liz Cheney is trying to warn people like you.

I don't know why.  It works for me,  and I'm not a subscriber.   Maybe go to the USA Today home page t hgv en to opinion page.
