The Joseph R Biden Presidential Thread

[Aaron]

Good on you guys for protecting your borders. Ours are completely open for whoever wants to come in.

Don't forget until recently, the vaccine was an experimental drug.

In all seriousness, keep rocking and stay healthy!

Mac, do you need a vaccine paper with COVID 1, variant 2, and variant 3 yet? They are using your unarmed society to test the limits. Are you bent over yet?

All good hear mate. No COVID in Tasmania for over a year because we protect our borders. But it will arrive again at some point. New South Wales doing it tough and Victoria also locked down, but the rest of the country open for business as usual.

There are your usual % of right-wing nut job protestors and covidiots, but most doing the right thing and fully accepting and supportive of measures taken.

Our right-wing national government have totally fucked things like quarantine and the vaccination rollout up - but that's not unusual for conservatives.

Let's Go Brandon!

2 pages of content for Brandon vs. 3xx for Trump. Any thoughts on why?

Trump burnt everyone out...the constant shit show was too much.

Versus traitor Brandon. Can you really say that if you we're an American citizen watching this crap going down?

Enough with that Brandon bullshit.

Why are Republicans constantly searching for and living off stupid slogans?

Nah, just making fun of the lamestream media when they cover up the truth. NASCAR has never been more popular in the US.

Man, I cant wait for Brandon's second term. $10.00 per gallon of gas & World war 3
but hey, there isn't any stupid tweets and we wont have to worry about climate change!

A definite improvement.

However, gas is expensive here and everywhere else, yet Biden isn't president of Australia. How does he make our gas prices expensive? New world order I'm sure.

LOL... you really think world war 3 & $ 10.00 per gallon gas is an improvement ?

I will not make any comment out of respect for you until you clarify that statement.

Last I looked there is no WW3, so no need to clarify that.

Gas would be the same price under whoever, so no real point to be made there.

So...yeah, nah. Life is definitely better without the Orange Sphincter.

No WW 3 YET......Regarding gas prices it absolutely makes a difference here who is President.
You think it was just dumb luck it never hit $3.00 a gallon during the orange one's term?
Of course where you are it may not matter I wouldn't know. Anyhow if the world survives
two more years of incompetence future President Desantis will get it straightened out

So Biden controls the price of gas in Australia, France, the UK, Japan and the rest of the world. He's more powerful than I gave him credit for.

Gas was cheaper here during the Moron's term....but it was much higher during Bush's term. As it was in the USA. Did Republicans blame him at the time?

Desantis? Jesus H Christ, Republicans need to find some leaders with brains. You keep throwing nothing but utter fucking morons into the limelight.

Desantis isn't insane enough to win the nomination. They will probably nominate Trump again because no-one competes with his insanity.

Bill Maher summed up the Republican party fairly well:

My top pick for 2024 would be if running (and was for 2016 ) is John Kasich, He had a proven track record as governor.

Sadly here in the states, most people who would be most qualified want absolutely nothing to do with politics.
So you are left with extremist, or those seeking attention or money. Either way Dems will be out as even progressives care more about how much everything is costing them over their so called beliefs, it always comes down to money.....

I've seen a little of Kasich, need to investigate further. But I fear that any Republican is now going to have to bow to the extreme right, which I just cannot understand at all.

I do agree that the best people or most qualified at least are avoiding politics - It's almost a no-win position. America needs someone youthful that can straddle the middle ground between parties and call out stupidity on either side.

Kasich is the governor from the 2016 election who refused to engage in any of the Trump talk during the debates. He kept looking at the other 100 candidates saying to stop arguing and take thing seriously. After the election, he was anti-Trump and more of a traditional Republican trying to act sane. So, IMO, he would be considered a liberal by Republican standards, and a RINO and would never get close to a nomination. Republicans want insanity and ultra-conservative, or Trump like, views.

I do agree that the best people or most qualified at least are avoiding politics - It's almost a no-win position. America needs someone youthful that can straddle the middle ground between parties and call out stupidity on either side.

It has always been that way.

I almost wish my band of merry RWNJs were still here (hello!), so I could see some of the bullshit excuses for the Jan 6 insurrection. Unforgivable!

Andrew,

I didn't know you had a band! (I do as well latest single off our album here: https://songwhip.com/roehrbornstawinski/ready-to-rock)

You wouldn't know it from the media coverage, but both sides do not like most of the same things.
Lawbreakers are criminals pure and simple, there is way to much hypocrisy depending on the "Identity"
of the criminals. this needs to change, and it has already started.

[Andrew]

Personally I agree, but no one at Fox News does.

Glad you agree, we have a ton of lawbreakers invading our southern border
That for ridiculous political reasons are being ignored. however,
Who cares what Fox thinks ...or msnbc or whatever media business.
We have a huge problem here of people not willing to vote. the percentages
Are embarrassing for a country that fought so hard for that right. finally, we are seeing
Signs of sanity in our most progressive area's like San Francisco who dumped the district Attorney
Who failed to enforce the law despite officers who risked their very lives to apprehend criminal activity.

[Andrew]

Voting in Australia is compulsory. 99% of the eligible population votes so no one can complain when 'their' party doesn't get across the line. Elections always take place on a Saturday when the biggest % of the population isn't working and we have parties all over the country.

More countries should do this, although I can imagine the "infringing on my rights" crowd in the USA going all silly over such an idea as making a vote compulsory.

How are they breaking the law when most cross the border, turn themselves in, and then ask for asylum? The Constitution gives them the right to do this. It is NOT illegal.

I also find it racist. Most of these people are fleeing their countries for the same reasons people are fleeing Ukraine. But, Ukrainians are treated with empathy and pity. An asylum seeker from a south American country who is leaving their country due to gang violence, rape, murder, and living under a dictatorship are treated like criminals...when they are doing the EXACT same thing as Ukrainians, for the EXACT same reasons.

The election set up here is antiquated from the 1800's. IMO, we should vote on a Friday or Monday and make it a national holiday so workers get the day off. And, make it a federal crime to force someone to work and take away their ability to vote.

Also, IMO, voting by mail should be open to EVERYBODY. In fact, voting via Internet should be open to everybody.

But, Republican's will never go for that...they want fewer people to vote, not more. Voter ID"s, fewer places to vote so people have to travel and stand in longer lines, vote by mail only if it is justified, no voting by internet. There is even a law in some state where you can't give somebody waiting in line food or water.

I agree...I hear nothing but negatives about Republicans trying to restrict voting rights. Everyone should vote. Every time. Then 25% of the country wouldn't control the rest.

What exactly are you agreeing with? Its true, most people support proving that you are here legally before you can vote And that is being pushed by Republicans. I agree with your statement everyone should vote every time, unless of course You are the citizen of another country and not authorized to do so. most interesting is your 25% comment, Please Elaborate.

[Andrew]

25% comment, Please Elaborate.

Because only half the population votes, 25% of people control the whole country.

That sounds about right. Unfortunately, the media narrative tends to focus on the extreme views
and I wonder if this has the effect of turning people off from not just paying attention, but from
voting as well. There is enough history available to us to make logical conclusions of proposed policy
Yet we make the same mistakes over and over. For example the Treasury secretary was completely wrong
On the inflation outlook (at least admitted it ) https://www.npr.org/2022/06/01/11023644 ... -inflation
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out it was going to happen, but yet here we are. hopefully we get
Some fresh candidates that are closer to the center for 2024. even moderate dems have had enough of the
progressives, and moderate republicans do not want Trump. there is an opening for someone to take advantage.
