    I have one like that without the writing. Got great mileage out of it.

    Is this the same AOC who just raised $5m, for the people of Texas, who were affected by the big freeze. The same AOC who flew 1500 miles to help.
    The same flash AOC who worked as a waitress to put herself through college.
    The same AOC would probably wouldn’t know where to even buy Armani.

    I said it only few weeks ago on politics forum that the Trump fans would soon be calling AOC 'privileged' and here we are

    Its incredible really.

    Ye do realize AOC is criticizing the biden admin. Usually some of ye go mental when that happens. She does say its only 2month into this admin, but a criticism all the same.

    It is perfectly healthy for people within a party to have different opinions.

    What people "go mental" at is when some who are part of a cult, who did not say a word against him, come on here and criticize Biden for far less.

    Do you get that now?

    People who are aware that Trump is a cult usually aren't part of it, so that should rule you out.

    Your post however came across as snarky towards Biden supporters, which didn't make sense to me.

    Anyway, overall I'm happy for Biden to be pulled up fairly on stuff he will not or does not do. No one is above criticism. As I said, what I won't hear is shyte talk from those who sat by and had no issue with Trump for doing far less.

    Cant help the way it came across, that wasn't the intention. Exactly all people treated to the same standard. BTW i think its alot of trolls on here, Biden especially to any irish person is going to be more likable.

    So according to the mainstream press Joe Biden is locking up migrant children now. Hardly a surprise.

    Joe Biden would never lock up children, he's the answer to all that's wrong with America.

    And stay away from Fox news and especially Sky news Australia...
    All economical with the truth.

    Just check out Sky news Australia on YouTube, I have to turn it off , I can't believe what's being said about American politics and international news.

    They totally contradict ABC and CNN shocking stuff...

    That's a fine straw man you've built.......who has ever argued this? Biden is not some Messiah of the left.

    Yes, Biden got criticised - what's your point?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    It's a whole new concept to Trump fans after seeing four years of servitude by the Republicans

    If people in this thread are anything to go by, Biden has possibly the easiest 4 years of any USA president ever. Just don't act overly oafish or unpresidential and you're golden, achieving little apart from ensuring more Democrat hardship once your legacy is viewed as one of very little substance.

    No, I would think Trump had the easiest. He could do, or not do, pretty much anything and know that his supporters would stick by him no matter what.

    Such a strange post.

    It was in the post, everlast to be fair said he deserves criticism when its warranted, some on here take any criticism of him as a personal insult.

    It's better than taking many galloping steps in to the past.

    Also, for recent comparisons.
    Obama introduced Obamacare meaning access to healthcare for millions who didn't have it.
    Initiated recovery out of the financial crash which happened just before he took over.
    Bill Clinton only government to return a budget surplus in recent years.

    George Bush Jnr, initiated wars which are still ongoing
    Cut back on financial regulation which in part led to crash of 2008.
    George Bush Snr, initiated 1st gulf war
    Ronald Raegan, introduced trickle down economics which facilitates wealth being kept in just a few individuals and corporations.
    Presided over rampant CIA shenanigans.
    Removed the Fairness Doctrine requiring media to be truthful and balanced.

    Biden is not going to fix everything, neither is Harris or anyone else. Plenty Democrats capable on being focused on their own needs, but Republican/Conservatives are focused solely on looking in to the past and trying to limit society today to how it was then. The only reason they are relevant is that they have convinced people that the laws designed when the population of the country was about 130 times smaller than it is today should still be the benchmark for governing society.

    And? There is no set date for this and Biden has bigger things to fix before worrying about a speech.

    Shame Americans vote on identity and popularity than anything else.
    A vast majority are voting based on colour (Red/Blue) rather than actual policies.

    What's even more bizarre is that you accuse some one of being a racist rapist and then you are their running mate. This phenomenon works for both Reps and Dems. It's amazing.


    The racial profiling by both parties and the media is also something else.
    Convert parts of their politics to Ireland " Leo is on the campaign trail in Blanchardstown to get the black vote".. "Expecting great black turn out in Balbriggin"

    Trump's policy was to deliberately remove children from their parents with no clear intent to reunite them and place them in what were sometimes inhumane facilities. Biden's policy is to put already unaccompanied children into a pleasant facility until the best outcome is decided for them. Not even close to the same thing.

    Where else do you think unaccompanied children should go while the best course of action for them is decided? Just wander outside maybe?
    Trump’s policy on children at the border wasn’t controversial merely because it resulted in children being held at the border, which is a long-standing reality and is what will happen at this facility. It was controversial because it forced children to be separated from their parents given its hard-line policy requiring that the parents be held and not released into the country (and given that children couldn’t be held with their parents). This, in effect, made for more children (often very young) that needed to be held alone — about 3,000 in total — beyond the unaccompanied minors (who are often older) who arrive...

    It was also controversial in large part because of some of the conditions in which many of the children were then held: often in large groups behind chain-link fences at Border Patrol stations.

    Whether you called those “cages” or “chain-link partitions” or anything else, though, that’s not the situation at the border facility the Biden administration is reactivating. Carrizo has many more facilities for those staying there — to the point where it costs $775 per day per child. Nor is the administration forcing these children to be separated from their parents. Whatever one thinks about how these children are handled once they’re taken into custody — and there are valid debates about both the speed and efficacy of that process — it bears little resemblance to what happened under Trump. They are not being held behind chain-link fences at a Border Patrol station because of a policy that requires them to be separated from their parents.

    Trumpsters couldn't give a toss about the children. It's all about getting a dig in on Biden while pretending they're outraged. Pathetic as usual.

    Yeah, posting someone’s tweet really is the height of a winning debate.
    I can sense they’re getting desperate.

    Biden should praise white supremacists for the laugh.

    What's with all the name calling and derogatory terms?

    Can you not be civil?
