    In fairness lads.. it's not like it's one video..

    Every time he's in front of a camera there's practically a new one..

    Meanwhile the previous guy referenced the air force during the revolutionary war which is light-years worse than misspeaking.

    Covfefe in 3.2.1..

    There has already been a montage posted of Trump getting names wrong. If you would like to show your evidence that Biden has done it more often, then you are very welcome.

    Otherwise, delusion. Nothing but delusion.

    "Meanwhile two years ago..." lol

    In fairness nobody here is saying anything good about Trump right now.

    So your answer is that you don't have evidence and are trying to deflect from the fact that you have nothing to back up your statements. Sounds about right.

    Going back to Biden forgetting names and why it's a cause for concern.

    These concerns coming from superfans of someone who forgets his own name:

    It was more than a stutter, he completely lost his train of thought.
    He also looked frail and tired.
    I dont take any joy in seeing him like that despite what you and others think.

    There is no point in trying to reason with you or certain other fervent posters on this thread because all ye want is an argument and can spend yere whole day at it, posting in a disengenious, virtue signalling and condescending manner.

    The perpetually outraged.

    :D:D:D:D

    Like Trump becoming outraged over bad press?
    Like Hannity and Carlson becoming outraged over him losing the election?
    Like Trump becoming outraged at people who voted against him in his impeachment and now promising to campaign against him?
    Like Matt Gaetz being outraged at Trump being investigated by Mueller?
    Like Piers Morgan becoming outraged at having to face 1 minute of what he has been doling out for years and walking off set and then quitting his job?
    Like Republicans being outraged at AOC showing them up in Texas when they were happy with increasing the electricity bills of users while Cruz took off to Cancun and Abbott tried to blame the issue on her green new deal?
    Like Republicans across the US becoming outraged at their vote fixing not having been enough and so they are trying to bring in rafts of legislation countrywide to ensure that next time it will be?

    Your claim about 'the perpetually outraged' is just another example in a long line of them of the MO of 'accuse others of that which you are guilty' which has so frequently been the case when it comes to conservatives.

    It's nauseating to watch.

    Biden seeks to expand renewable energy in the U.S. by building the first commercial-scale offshore wind project in the country. Good for jobs and the climate.

    Good point. If Trump hadn't removed the CDC experts from China before the pandemic started, they might have gotten a handle on it earlier. How many deaths do you think might have been prevented if the US had shown some leadership on the world stage and actually engaged with the WHO from the beginning?

    Exactly. And why stop there. I'm sure astute, independently minded people like yourself could find Trump a contributing factor for literally every single death that happened throughout the world during his four year tenure if you pressed your little brainboxes. You're not dead, but god knows he's had some affect on you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,880 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    All these people comparing the previous disaster with the current POTUS are not really helping Biden.
    He had a period where he made a few mistakes, then we got to see the live debates and he was very sharp so there's no concerns there.
    Now he's been working crazy hours trying to fix the country, If I was working those hours I'd be well capable of a few gaffes.
    Folks why are you responding to ridiculous accusations? Why just not ignore them and respond to reasoned posts?

    Well that would be pretty stupid.

    And just two posts back you said this:

    This thread is like the worst imaginable Twitter echo chamber. Full of groupthink, with no discernible difference between the various posters, all opinions safely received and regurgitated from orthodox lowbrow platforms.

    In the grand American tradition, it's just cheerleading. Fine to have a bit of a laugh at from the side-lines but don't bother wading in too far.


    Have you anything to offer other than scattergun ad hominems?

    Not trying to reason, just interested in what type or person usually posts videos of someone highlighting their stutter?

    It's happening all the time, no talk on policy, or what decisions they get wrong, just personal attacks over and over again, usually the same video by different individuals who seem to be part of some weird groupthink. It seems to be an attempt to bring everyone down to their level of awfulness, and it's done in roundabout ways, but they have to live with the fact that they're spending their time posting about a disability and trying to make fun of it, or trying to make out that someone is senile or has dementia, over and over again, despite all the evidence being to the contrary.

    Is it any wonder there's no press conferences when this is the kind of shïte that's asked. WHPC haven't a clue what to do with themselves now that they're faced with a normal administration.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,464 ✭✭✭1800_Ladladlad


    The reporter's questions being drowned out, while being rushed out and prevented from asking biden any questions. We have seen this time and time again , we've heard the excuses too.

    And despite all this "evidence" you guys provide the majority of Americans decided he was better than that hunky American Dream-Boat DonDon you guys worship.

    It really doesnt say much for your hero if he fails to beat someone in the condition you claim Biden is in.

    You have to admit that something seems terribly off with him. If he was the president of a company you worked for you'd have grave doubts.

    Not that you'll drop a stupid video and run, but what are the excuses you've heard? Did you miss all the actual work going on in the White House at the moment and getting all riled up because Joe is beating you?

    President Biden is doing a decent job so far in many areas but it's clear his administration is failing with southern border mass immigration.

    The February 2021 numbers are 3x the numbers of
    February 2020.

    In February—despite a week of freezing weather—Border Patrol apprehended 101,535 illegal border crossers along the southern border, according to Jaeson Jones, a former Texas Department of Public Safety captain. Another 26,000 people evaded capture, he said.

    The February number is almost triple the apprehensions from February 2020, when Border Patrol caught almost 37,000 people

    There is a huge Influx of immigrants coming in and 60 percent less being detained for deportation by ICE compared to the Trump administration.

    The number of immigrants taken into custody by ICE officers fell more than 60 percent in February compared with the last three months of the Trump administration, according to data reviewed by The Washington Post. Deportations fell by nearly the same amount, ICE statistics show.

    The USA has 250+% more immigrants coming in while 60% less are being deported.

    I don't enjoy being the fly in the ointment on this but I think the welcome mat needs to be thrown away here.

    Unsustainable.

    A massive increase in the caliber of attorney General. He should have been on the SC but still...

    Stimulus package, voting and now workers rights. It's almost as if Biden's administration is doing decent things for people

    Great to see the bi-partisan voting on these two issues.

    Is the GOP going to unlock funding to improve the facilities at the border and actually make it more effective and catching and processing people? The administration has wanted to do more, but had it's hands tied.

    Unfortunately untold billions over 4 years has been spent on a wall that has immediately failed as a deterrent.

    I'd also disagree that a "welcome mat" is being presented for these people, the conditions are horrendous, yet people still come, unless they're going back to purposely separating families, there's no where more to go except increasing the facilities and personnel at the border (which means the GOP unlocking the associated funding for it).
