The Biden administration (was: The NEW 2020 Election Thread)

[pilferk]

Psst: you're not supposed to let on how triggered you are.

 

Again, I did reply TO YOU, right? About what YOU wrote?

Maybe I'm just confused.

Gods honest truth....I skip over everything the troll(s) write.  It's not worth the digital bandwidth it consumes.

I read the replies, and if there's something interesting in there, I'll engage the person replying. 

Stepping lightly through the troll shit.

like i said, for some reason, i get mentioned frequently in this thread by a couple people. you just can't ignore me. no matter how hard some of you try.

i was not talking diversity of opinion in the republican party. as i've noted before, i do not like the republican party.  i despise most politicians on both sides.

Who said I was trying to ignore you? I enjoy educating others.

Right, you don't like the GOP, you just agree with the most extremist iteration of their core ideology. Got it.

btw, how are those kids in cages doing? the foil blankets was a real nice look.

What a whiplash inducing pivot there. You're not good at hiding your partisanship either, are you? Psst: I can see your trigger.  

Last I checked there is no longer a family separation policy at all (or losing track of parents entirely, "the party of family values", people!), and Biden was simply dealing with a spike in unaccompanied minors on top of limited occupancy for existing facilities due to covid guidelines, for which he caught a ton of flack on the left and has since set up a task force to reunite families still left severed by Trump. As a consequence, the number of children being held by US Customs and Border Protection has dropped 88% between late March and late April. What was that about not being critical of your own, again?

And of course, that's not even touching on the issues with Trump's border policies, for example: "The AP reported children had to sleep on the floor, were unable to bathe, and had inadequate food and water. An AP investigation found at the time children were stuck in the Border Patrol station, there were beds available in long-term HHS facilities."

Look, I know it must be tough when facts so clearly contradict your partisan narrative, and that must really trigger you, but you need to control your emotions and let go of these desperate "gotchas".

and are we back to praising cuomo again? lying about killing old people and sexually harassing co-workers....no big deal, right?

Who here is praising Cuomo? He's been excoriated by the left on a wide scale. Once again, you prove you have zero awareness beyond your radical rightist bubble.

And Biden deserved it. He was keeping them too long in those facilities. He should've been better prepared. Now it is down to about 30 hours. I'd like to see it lower. As for Cuomo if he is found to be guilty of everything he needs to go. I have no problem with that and have said so on here.

Conservatives: Nobody is criticizing Biden for the Border issues.

Left and center all criticizing Biden for being unprepared at the border.

Conservatives: Are we back to praising Cuomo the sexual harrasser and murderer of nursing home residents?

Left and center calling for Cuomo to resign over sexual harassment claims and the nursing home scandal.

Matt Gaetz in the middle of a nasty scandal involving paying underage women for sex and potentially pay to play pardons.

Conservatives: *crickets* (followed closely by "we don't have all the information yet").

Never mind their complete silence on Trumps similar issues (border and sexual harassment) for the better part of six+ fucking years.

I think, when it comes to issues like this, conservative "outrage" can be roundly ignored (and laughed at, quite frankly).  They are no longer the voice of morality.  They are the coalition of hypocrisy, insurrection, racism, lies, immorality, and obstruction.  Accountability, in their eyes, is only for "the other guys".

Lest we all forget that Moscow Mitch said the quiet words out loud again yesterday.  100% of his efforts are to stop the Biden Agenda, no matter what it is.  

Even if big pieces of that agenda are widely popular on a bipartisan basis across the country.

Conservatives can't and won't govern.  They will only obstruct.  That's their agenda. There's been talk of "compromise" and "bipartisanship" in this thread.  Again, I point out that's only possible when the other side is willing to actually negotiate.  When their position is "Everything you want to do, no matter how good or popular or beneficial, we will vote against...full stop." there isn't much anyone can do to compromise.

Until the conservative/republican position changes, they make those endeavors impossible.

The Republicans are gonna remove someone for not repeating the lie that their great leader only lost the election because of fraud?


What a party! In a democracy....

Bingo!

Its a sad, sad testament of what the Republican Party has become.

Don't forget: temporarily pausing your false allegations of sex trafficking directed at your political opponents, to quietly delete pictures of you with Gaetz on social media... *cough*MarjorieTaylorGreene*cough*

Guys, it turns out cancel culture is real!

But wait, I was told by Sandie that only right wingers have open minds and criticize their own. "They're not sheep", he says. Kinda hard to back that up though when you kick out or ostracize everyone who doesn't toe the party line...

Meanwhile, what just happened on the left?

Biden was moved by moral critique of vaccine IP protections and changed course due to pressure from his own party. Huh.

We all know people on the right aren't sheep. Just because they send money to Trump because he tells them to or they march to the Capitol because he tells them to, doesn't make them sheep!

After all, they don't believe in masks! They'd just wear one if Trump told them to... But, not sheep! Ok?

Yep, i mean they're gonna remove her from leadership because she fist bumped POTUS and refuses to perpetuate the big lie. To use her own words, we're in different parties, we're not mortal enemies. I don't really agree with much of her positions but i respect her integrity in this situation. Even Meghan McCain made a blistering statement about what shit show the party has become.

Oh look, more responsiveness to intra-party criticism.

Today the Trump party will vote on removing Dick Cheney's daughter from her seat.

No room for people who don't support the lie in that party!

Oh, and socialism.... Biden is gonna make the USA a socialist state! Just like Clinton and Obama were going to!

They should do it.  Not threaten to do it. Do it.

Cuomo is such a piece of shit, and this book thing is in such poor taste. 

He might not resign, but he's never going to win another election (or primary) again.

Blech.

Funny how sandie is nowhere to be found after getting egg on his face.

I'm amazed that these people got votes. I mean, sure, there's people for everything. Some remember the good old days etc. In every country. Doesn't matter if the good old days were fascist, communist or whatever. And some just want back the life from the past when things were less equal...


Anyway, some of these so called Republicans. I mean, they call others extreme left, socialist and/or communist. Yet, fail to label themselves as anything worse than "patriotic". Funny.
