The Joseph R Biden Presidential Thread

[Andrew]

I'm sure this will be a quiet thread with all the RWNJs gone and a lack of scandals, corruption and swamp draining gong on...

[Monker]

So, we Democrats have majorities in the House, the Senate, and Biden in the Whitehouse...and McConnell seemingly willing to compromise to get shit done. Sounds good to me.

But, the Exiles hate it. They lost power at every turn for the past 4yrs. So, they whine and cry, say Democrats cheated even when they have no evidence of it. McConnell is a RINO, Pence is a RINO, anybody who disagrees with their agenda is a RINO or NeverTrumper. They hate reality so much that they want to start their own political party...Trump's Patriot Party.

If you Google "patriot party", this is one of the results from WIKI:
The Patriot Party was a socialist organization of the late 1960s and early 1970s in the United States that organized poor, rural whites in the Appalachian South and Pacific Northwest. The party was formed after a split with the Young Patriots Organization. The YPO's membership was drawn from street gangs of Appalachian whites in the Uptown neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois; it became politicized after working with the Young Lords, an ethnic Puerto Rican gang; and the African-American Black Panther Party.

That just cracks me up, seems fitting. I was hoping for something like For America's Greatness party. But, reality makes these people an even better joke.

Conservatives are already a minority in this country. So, yeah, let's split them into two groups to GARAUNTEE fascists like Trump and idiots like W are BOTH kept out of power. Sounds good to me! I wonder how many elections it will take before the Patriots learn how far in the minority they really are. Quite a few, hopefully.

[verslibre]

Pence is no RINO.

He's an ISATOTS.*

*"I'm sick and tired of Tr***'s shit!"

(At the very least, if Pence had eyes on the presidency, he's pissed Donny Least ruined any chance of that for him.)

First day and already Eliminated thousands of potential American jobs while emboldening our adversaries. smooth. Justin Trudeau is already thinking that Trump guy wasn't so bad after all...& President Harris is just a half heart beat away. And just like that we are on to legislating language. "Non citizens " is to replace "Aliens" which means before long it will be a hate crime for An American to refer to a foreigner as an "Alien" of our country. That will get you more jail time than a failed carjacking in Chicago. welcome to the new America!

I thought the inauguration speech was fine. There was a few references to "truth" and "facts" etc. - that seemed like a harbinger of more tech censorship to come. I still think we'll be at war within 1-2 years.

Will Biden be donating his salary to charity like Trump?

[The_Noble_Cause]

-National guard being forced to sleep in a cold parking garage.

- The Trump order on discounted insulin has been stopped.

Nice job creepy Joe!

Trump's gross ineptitude and lack of any kind of leadership - and his denial of mask wearing - he abandonment of the American people will likely cost a million lives before this is over.

Speaks volumes that you still want to discuss a private citizen and NOT the commander in chief.

As for a lack of leadership, it was Trump's leadership - in the face of both medical and media skepticism- that allowed operation warp speed to happen.

Are you referring to the chaotic plan to let the states manage its own Covid response and Vaccine needs? You can't possibly spin this... he can call his plan whatever he wanted but a more apt name would have been "GIANT SHIT SHOW". How this can be viewed as anything less than a train wreck response is amazing to me. There should have been a unified Federal response. Absolute insanity especially when compared to other countries. Not to mention the missed opportunity by the Trump admin to have adequate doses allocated. Leaving the World Health Org was equally ridiculous. Absurd non sense due to mass incompetence and arrogance of 45.

[The_Noble_Cause]

Are you referring to the chaotic plan to let the states manage its own Covid response and Vaccine needs?

No, I'm not. Operation Warp speed specifically refers to the public-private partnership to develop the vaccine in record time. Do you seriously not know what it is? Trump was widely criticized initially for browbeating pharma execs and setting unrealistic timelines for the vaccine.

In the UK, where they have a unified federal healthcare system (NHS), cases are skyrocketing and they are back in lockdown. Let me guess - Trump, amirite?

Pfizer did not take part in operation Warp Speed and it was the first available.

And, it wasn't until Trump left office that the delivery of vaccine started meeting vaccination targets.

So, Trump's contribution was way over stated.

President Joe Biden Excetive order number 5,387 on Racial Equity.

For those confused by the term "racial equity" let me translate. There are two parts to this, the first is Equal opportunity.
We can all agree this is a good policy for all of us. no matter your sex, religion, etc. you should have the opportunity to
be whatever you choose. here's the rub. They are not liking the percentages, So now its about legislating Equality of outcome
This is not only disastrous it's impossible and its been proven. There is NO WAY President Biden thought of this. He is being led down A divisive path that will intimately backfire. The first and very important thing that you throw out the window in this philosophy is Competence. it now takes a back seat to your designated and preferred "Group identity" So now your not only choosing people for positions not based on their competence and hard work, you are pitting different "Groups" against each other. They tried this in Chicago When the Black caucus complained there were not enough Fireman of the right color. seems you were required to pass a test and have some level of education and this was viewed as a "barrier of systematic white supremacy" So they kept lowering the requirements until They were able to achieve "Equity" Here is a real example of how infected this thinking has become. This from the Motion Picture Academy:

"To encourage equitable representation on and off screen in order to better reflect the diversity of the movie-going audience," films will have to meet minimum requirements pertaining to representation and inclusion to be eligible for the best picture Oscar beginning with the 96th Oscar race".

This will infect Corporate structure and policy regarding hiring and promotion across the board. Check the list of affected "Groups" that are to be protected. It would have been much easier to list the ONE group that isn't. Good Luck, so much for "Unity"

Well, this is an ignorant post. An executive order defining "advancing equity across the Federal Government" does not affect Corporate structure or policies. It affects the federal government, not corporate America. Whoever believes crap like the above post is naïve at best, ignorant at least.

These are even more ridiculous responses. There has been direct government involvement into corporate America, such as affirmative action, go whine about those. Corporate America does what it wants. The only way to truly stop is to legislate...which, BTW, you said this executive order did, "So now its about legislating Equality of outcome", It is NOT legislation and it is NOT going to have much affect on corporate America. You are just posting scare tactics to anger people.

IMO, this executive order put the US back on the right track...away from the Trump policies of isolation, travel bans against "Muslim nations", building walls on our borders, etc. It's MUCH better to be inclusive than to exclude people.

Only a Trumphead would call a government policy of inclusion as being "divisive". That's ridiculous. Then posting an opinion piece from what is essentially a tabloid to point to a "protected group list", which I didn't see when glancing through the article. That is very weak.

I don't care if it is given to Susan Rice. YOU are the one who is being divisive...not Biden.

As I said, I would rather have this policy than policies that are full of bigotry and racism as Trump was enacting.

I don’t understand why people are not just enjoying a President who has undertaken responsibilities of his office without screaming “conspiracies, fake news, being spied upon ...etc” and things are so quiet that I can finally get some rest. I don’t need to know if he’s being bothered by the other political party because that’s s what they do or if someone is starting a whispering campaign against him or maligning their character; it happens. The most important thing to me is we’re back on course; no wild hate filled screams, no crazy rational on why he has to jail babies and children or discriminate against people or make me frightened of my neighbors. I don’t look for trucks with flags or gun racks or duffle bags or watch videos filled with hateful characters because the man in power is not inciting them. These are my thoughts. This is my peace. Agree or disagree. I won’t respond. I just enjoy predictability, routine, the mundane...the terrorist will be caught and the insurrection has stalled for now. I want to be a part of this period of democracy and constitutionality.

Amen. Normality is back.

Looney tunes is gone.

[Monker]

Well, here is the problem. 'Normality" is only back because Trump has stepped back during his impeachment trial. If you have followed that, it is practically a given that he is guilty. BUT, he won't be convicted because Republicans won't vote against him. So, Trump is not gone forever. He'll be back bigger than ever, claiming election fraud, pushing conspiracy theories, doing his rallies, and trying to grab headlines. Republicans have already shown that they will bend over for Trump to get his approval. He will probably have more of a grip on the party then he ever has. Every election is going to be like these last two for President, crazy conspiracy theories and lies from the Republicans.

I used to say that Democrats were pussies because they would not stand up to Republicans. Now Republicans are pussies because they will not stand up to Trump. The dirty politi9cs will continue after impeachment...because that is the only way Trump knows how to 'win'...and he loses NOTHING. The Republican party is now a symbol of lies and immorality. They stand for nothing positive, as they tried to do in the past.

It seems to me like the bigger problem isn't so much Trump as it is the blind sheep in voting public who still act he's second coming. Republicans don't have the balls to stand for what they always have because their terrified these voting morons will run them out of office and replace them with idiots who are just as crazy and stupid as they are.

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.
