The Biden Presidency

It's been a while since I posted in this thread, doubt if it's worth going back and catching up. I can't imagine anyone supporting the insurrectionist ass Quack-Anon Soviet Republicans, but from everything I keep hearing, "Democrats are in trouble" going into the midterms. That's almost comical.
If the Democrats had the same soviet (Moscow Mitch) leadership, they would have their trouble members way better in check, but, they are not the GOP, so there you go.

Biden is doing a good job, more than that.
 
I guess in Saudi Arabia it is not considered rude to speak ill of the dead. He may be a corpse but he's our corpse, darn it!

Was someone gender appropriating Kamala Harris or is that just an ugly Arab broad?

The fat actor looks more like Trump than Biden.
Why did they have to use actors, why not just use out-of-context clips of Biden, there must be at least a dozen. :rolleyes:

That is supposed to be good luck.
I never heard of that superstition.
Trump never got pooped on by a bird, but he is full of bullshit.

Superstition #10
Getting pooped on by a bird brings luck.
For centuries birds have been known to be mythical creatures. It is very rare that when a bird flies in the sky and you just happened to be in their pooping zone. Many people say that when you get pooped on by a bird, you should play the lottery the same day. Russians are the ones who originated this superstition. The rarity of it actually happening is what makes it good luck.

Thanks for the link. I've always heard that, but never knew the origins.

Maybe if the tax cuts go through, then corporations will ease up on the price increases. We can have cheaper gas and return to happiness. Problem solved.
 
There's no excuse to tax the lower incomes to fund tax cuts for the rich.

That said, taxing the mega rich & corporations is never as effective as you might think - these are the guys who can hire the best tax lawyers/accountants who find every possible loophole. Taxing them more just gives them incentive to find more ways to game the system. Between paying an extra $1 million in taxes or using that $1 Million to hire people to find ways around it - they'd rather spend it on the lawyers/accountants. Or if there's no way around it, they'd rather donate the money and raise their PR rather than pay the taxes.

It would be like a rewind to December 20, 2017. 🤗

Wait, shouldn't we be seeing the ease up on price increases now from that one? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sounds right to me. I don't fully understand the US financial situation any more than ours. It does seem that both could focus on controlling what they spend. That is a fantasy.

Different topic regarding President Biden. I think his administration did a very good job before Russia attacked the Ukraine. They released classified information and that seemed to prepare the rest of the world. The Democrats are always being accused of owning the press. I remember the Biden Administration getting challenged on the information they were releasing. It was absolutely the right thing to do.

Now President Biden is authorizing an additional $800M in aid to the Ukraine. This includes offensive weapons like artillery and helicopters.

Good on President Biden.
 
I wish someone could help him fetch his bathrobe so he could go lay down.
The GOP are licking their chops hoping the Dems wheel out the corpse in 2024.

There seems to be quite a few clips like this out there.
He has a long history of speaking gaffs. I see it contributed to his speech impediment of stuttering when he was younger.

I'm not sure if there is an explanation for these and they are just taken out of context. Certainly makes him seem doddering.

PM Johnson seems like Gary Busey on many of his clips. That is not a good look on an Englishman.

If you put a microphone in front of me for multiple hours per day, I'd have my fair share of gaffes too. In the 24-hour media era, they're bound to happen.

Trump thinks the Continental Army occupied airports.Jimmy Carter had lust in heart.

Even Reagan had some, including this ... https://www.politico.com/story/2017/08/11/this-day-in-politics-aug-11-1984-241413

I'll take a sleepy Joe over a wide awake Trump.

Has anyone announced a run for 2024 yet?
No one will announce until after the mid-term elections. Formally announcing constrains a candidate's spending.
