Politics The Joe Biden Thread (1 Viewer)

Road Ratt, I have to say, if you can't post your own words, I won't read. There are others who do this but you seem to be the only one who posts nothing but copy/ paste and occasional insults. I figure this is discussion board, not video roundup

He's fine.

I mean there are times I wish you would post links about some of the news stories you mention.

So together I guess it balances out, lol.

We all have our own views. I don't mind someone occasionally posting an article but there are some limits. Just my viewpoint.

On further consideration, my post could easily be read as a personal attack, which was not what I intended but apologize nevertheless.

I had a setback with my sensory processing issues in January. Videos are the easiest way for me to do anything at this time because reading articles is infinitely more difficult. My head is slowly clearing again. And my abilities are slowly coming back as well. Yes, I actually lost abilities. My social skills are at an all time low, but are becoming better as my head clears. Hopefully I can post about it in the autism thread I made months ago when I get the chance.

One more thing that came to mind.

You made a comment on my post. And that is fine, of course. But, did anyone bother to read the article? Was anyone, at all, bothered that Biden is trying to run a similar Medicare privatization scheme that Trump ran?

Of course he is. And yes it bothers me. I don't need to read about it because I knew it would happen. Hillary would have as well. That's what the Dems want.

Joe is everything bad about Democrats mixed with some of the worst parts from the Republicans.

Not as bad as Trump, but still a POS in his own right.

Meanwhile, confirmation hearings for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson began predictably with Republicans airing a laundry list of grievances that has nothing to do with her (exceptional) qualifications. Transgender people, critical race theory, the Jews of course, and Democrats have been so MEAN to Republican nominees going back to the 1980s.

I wonder what would happen if Judge Jackson cried that her life had been ruined, screamed at senators, vowed to use her Supreme Court position to get revenge on those who opposed her? Of course she would not do that. Such behavior is the exclusive privilege of white male Republican nominees.

What's the evidence for that last statement?

I don't think this is a Biden problem at all, except that he appointed the wrong guy as head of HHS. Xavier Becerra has been just collecting a paycheck for the past year. It's not easy to change federal programs, especially when the agency head isn't interested in his job.

The ACA dropping the public option. The fact that Biden (and the DNC) attacked Sanders on M4A throughout the primaries. Etc, etc...

On the public option, it was dropped because there wasn't enough votes for it.

On attacking Sanders, they were running against each other. Dissing Sanders' M4A plan is not at all the same as wanting to privatize Medicare.

So Biden has never said or done anything stupid?

Because one can buy $1 of gas.

Right. The Democratic president, with Democrats in full control of congress, didn't have enough votes to pass the public option.

Dissing Sanders M4A plan was about as anti-public Healthcare as you can get.

Sure, I'd say there's a direct correlation between Biden's intellectual acumen and a gallon of gas.

Correct. Not all democrats are created equal.

Dissing Sanders M4A plan was about as anti-public Healthcare as you can get.

Only if you think that the only 2 choices are Sanders' plan or no public healthcare whatsoever.

No one demanded Kavanaugh answer for everything any white person said or wrote, but racist Republicans are demanding Judge Jackson answer for anything any Black person said or wrote. No one demanded Coat Hanger rate her faith on a scale of one to ten, but she is white and the right kind of Christian, the kind that defines Christianity as outlaw abortion, hate gays, vote for Trump. Not that ridiculous out of date love thy neighbor nonsense.
And the same people who denounced and threatened Christine Blasey Ford for daring to say Kavanaugh tried to rape her when she was a teenager have suddenly become great defenders of abused women and girls?????

Sorry to hear about your setback. Glad things are getting better for you.

Yeah, they are throwing the kitchen sink at her.

Yeah, they are throwing the kitchen sink at her.

These confirmation hearings are a joke anymore with it being nothing but a partisan showdown.
Ive always felt there should be equal numbers at any given time, of Supreme beings from Dems, Repub's and other (would include indies, ect.) 1/3 each. With term limits.

 

[Phatguysrule]

Well, the benefits of public Healthcare are clear. There is no logical reason to be opposed.

And Sanders plan would have saved us money while giving every American the best healthcare in the world.

What is there to attack with lies and confuse people about unless you're corrupt or republican? Or an American Democrat, evidently (sorry, covered the that with the corrupt part).

Yes quite a joke.

I agree with there being an equal number of liberal and conservative judges at all times and term limits. It would make both sides actually have to work together.

 

[crandc]

Lindsey Graham said outright rude misogynistic racist treatment of Judge Jackson because Democrats were mean to Kavanaugh. But they really care about rape victims! LA Times confirmed Ted Cruz was name checking himself on Twitter every time he asked a so called question.
Because she is a Black woman, Judge Jackson must model mature behavior. She must remain poised, calm, polite and smiling. Acting like a toddler throwing a tantrum is the privilege exclusively of Republican white men.

According to Fox "News", Biden should not be allowed to nominate a Supreme Court Justice because his approval rating is too low. Naturally, that criterion did not apply to unpopular Trump or to popular Obama.
