Politics The Joe Biden Thread

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

i'm LOL-ing at the people on here that say Biden is better than Trump.

tell me..... in what way is Biden better than Trump?

If you’re seriously asking, then you aren’t willing to think critically. And all the facts in the world won’t open a closed mine. But thanks for playing!

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

 

[julius]

Good luck with that.

 

[Jon]

He's not using the presidency to enrich himself.
He can open his mouth without lying.
He is capable of empathy.
He doesn't tell people to inject bleach.

1. either did Trump
2. no he can't
3. he doesn't even know what empathy is let alone be capable of it
4. if you took that seriously, i have beach front property in Arizona I'd like to sell you.

 

[Jon]

Unemployment rate when Trump entered presidency: 4.1%
Unemployment rate when Trump left presidency: 12.95%
Unemployment rate Now: 5.4%

---

US troops in Afghanistan when Trump left office: 8,600
US troops in Afghanistan now: 0

---

Dow finished Trump's administration at 30,000
Dow right now at 35,600

---

In addition, here are things the Biden administration managed to do which the Trump administration did not.

1. Devise a federal plan for vaccine distribution which has lead to many lives saved
2. Passed the infrastructure deal - so there is actually something being done on repairing America's crumbling infrastructure
3. Restored investment in 21st century energy and industrial technology like renewals instead of 19th century energy and industrial technology like coal

while at the same time managing not to make the leaders of the western world laughing at him, restored stability to the government from the rolling carousel of hiring and firing, removed the pillow industry's chokehold on American policy.

The list goes on and on, but this administration has done a whole lot more for the country in less than half the time it took the previous administration to try and ruin it.

You are welcome.

1. unemployment rate was 3.5%, then Covid happened, so you cant base numbers like that. but if you want to, unemployment rate was actually 6.3% when Trump left office.

2. Trump was working out a deal to bring our troops home in a safe, capable manner. the way the Biden administration handled it was so horrible, it killed American soldiers and made America look horribly weak.

3. Dow when Trump entered office - 19,885. when he left office, it was 30,996, even with Covid happening.

4, when Trump announced the vaccine, democrats and/or people that just hated him cause orange man bad, wouldnt take or trust any vaccine that happened under the Trump administration even your beloved Kamala. now, everyone is ok with the vaccince, because, well, orange man bad, right?

5. the infrastructure bill means, surprise surprise, raised taxes to everyone. not to mention they want to put in electric buses and ferries across the US, which electric vehicles pollute the air more in manufacturing that any gas/diesel vehicle will in its lifetime. the bill will spend more money on electric vehicles than roadways.

you should probably do research before you type words.

if you answer my question with no facts or statements concerning the topic, than you are actually the problem in rational speaking and you are the one with a closed minD.

im all for rational discussion, but with a response like yours, there is none coming from you.

 

[Jon]

If you think Trump is better than Biden you should put forth that argument as to why rather than lol'ing and making people defend their choice. That is a weak way to argue and/or try to make a point.

please see above. and yeah, i laughed at the comments on here. am i not allowed to laugh? i asked a simple question and all you can do is try to look edgy by hating the "bad orange man" without doing research.

 

[Jon]

i'd rather have mean tweets than homeless, drugs and killed American soldiers.

 

[riverman]

i'd rather have mean tweets than homeless, drugs and killed American soldiers.

I'd rather ban twitter than have dead Capitol Hill cops and rage filled deplorables looking to lynch govt officials

 

[crandc]

Looks like another troll materialized. How long will this one last?

 

[SlyPokerCat]

Would you also rather have people with lifetime benefit limit caps on health insurance policies? Repealing obamacare would have allowed health insurance companies to put caps at say 1 million in insurance benefits. Get in a car accident and end up in the hospital for 30 days and guess what, you are bankrupt.

Jeezus H………we’ve beat the subject to death in here since the election. Where have you been? It’s not my job to bring those who are late to the party up to speed. That’s on you. For a a guy who “is all for rational discussion” you’ve been missing in action. And now you want to restart the entire conversation. Nice attempt at being a provocateur……..the rest of us are trying to move on.

#3 is a total lie.

Trump dealing with someone with a disability.



Takes a real piece of shit to make fun of someone with a disability. Even if they may be being rude to you.

Joe Biden showing he cares.

oh, yes. total lie. riiiight.

how about when biden checked his watch after every marine that was killed in afghanistan this past week, when Trump saluted each and every one of them. how about when Trump had a state of the union and included various people from the families of fallen soldiers in his speeches giving his condolences to each one of them.

 

[Lanny]

This political banter back and forth gets real old. Regardless of religion or not, political affiliations, race, location of residency, we are all Americans. This hatred against people with opposing views is just like the fucking ISIS and Taliban that hate those against their beliefs. Is this how you are raising your kids grandkids to navigate society and contribute to community efforts, by teaching them hate for the other side? WOW

If I were to drive down a highway a saw someone in distress I will stop to offer help regardless, but i'm not so sure, many that are caught up in this back and forth would if they saw it was a person from the other side. Its real ugly and everyone needs to watch how their actions effect children that are looking for ways to follow.

Nonsense, I would help anyone regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, political belief, religion or whatever. A person crying for help in a burning car needs help right now as does a woman driving drunk who got in a traffic accident no matter that I seriously disapprove of anyone driving drunk. Yes, this is a true story on my behalf. I'd help a helpless person cross the street even if they wore a MAGA hat. Any care giver would do the same. They're built that way and God Bless them.

 

[Lanny]

You mean, like the despised Samaritan?

Who despises a good Samaritan?

 

[Lanny]

i'm LOL-ing at the people on here that say Biden is better than Trump.

tell me..... in what way is Biden better than Trump?

1. Biden is not a con man;
2. He wants legislation to help the disadvantaged;
3. He doesn't lie like Trump;
4. He's not in it for the money;
5. He actually knows some Bible passages;
6. He does not dislike Blacks;
7. The list is endless, need I go on?

You would, but there are ruthless members of certain tribes, now days, that wouldn't assist.

Person with a different opinion dares to comment = troll.

Tell me you exist in a bubble without telling me you exist in a bubble.

 

[crandc]

Lauren Boebert wants to impeach VP Harris for not invoking 25th Amendment to remove President Biden. She must really want Nancy Pelosi to be president.

Crandc might be the most intelligent person in here so I think it would be impossible for her to exist in any kind of bubble unless you mean some sort of really intelligent bubble.

No, a troll is a person who's sole existence is for posting to stir up trouble.

She is such a discredit to her gender species.

 

[jonnyboy]

Biden has completely checked out at this point. Many of the Trump criticisms are fair, but they aren’t really a rebuttal the CURRENT, sitting president suffering from a mental condition that entirely inhibits him from doing his job.

We are abandoning our own people in the hands of terrorists while funding those same terrorists to the tune of billions of dollars with supplies and equipment.

He has to step down. As much as I dislike Kamala, she doesn’t have dementia.

We literally do not have a president right now.

That seems excessively silly. What's your evidence? He can obviously give a speech (as well as he's ever been able to) and has done so frequently lately. I don't think you have any information at all about anything else that goes on behind the scenes.

Funny I don't remember you being this adamant about Trump's issues, which were significantly worse and more obvious.

Oh well, you do you.

I generally respect your take on things whether I agree with them or not. But the “Biden is senile” narrative is nothing more the the Right’s “I know you are but what am I” response to four year’s of the Left’s attacks on Trump’s mental competence. Biden simply cleaned up the withdrawal mess Trump put into motion. He then stood in front of the nation and took responsibility, which wasn’t entirely his. That’s called “leadership”. Trump got off easy as far as the blame for the withdrawal goes. Show me where we “are abandoning our own people”. And we abandon supplies and equipment all over the world. Always have, always will. Why is this time so different? And supposedly, most, if not all that equipment has been disabled. And really, at the end of the day, who gives a rat’s ass??? We’re outta there. We should have left as soon as we nailed Bin Laden. Why does Afghanistan deserve our continued attention? A country that doesn’t care enough about it’s own welfare does not deserve another drop of American blood.

The Right’s disdain for functioning leadership in the White House tells me pretty much everything I need to know about the “Right”……..this country deserves the cesspool it’s swimming in.

I’ve always been for leaving Afghanistan but handing the Taliban equipment to murder our people with while they run circles around our sleeping president isn’t what I had in mind.

It's 100% that. We're back to 3rd grade.
