    10 reporters asked a question yesterday.
    7 were female, of which 2 were African American, 3 were hispanic, one was Asian American and one was white.

    Prechosen reporters, prescreened questions and learnt off answers.

    failing to see the relevance of your point around race it is and should be irrelevant what race someone is but it seems to be important to you.

    Biden is in serious cognitive decline, it's obvious from that pretend press conference, be very surprised if he sees out the 4 years

    Sigh. Dont post in this thread again.

    Didn't Tucker basically roll over and show his belly on this and say that Hunter was a decent guy?

    "Identity politics" i.e. "I prefer white people to be asking the questions."

    what a coward.

    If a station essentially accused my wife of being in this for anything other than love you best believe I won't take any questions from them unless there is an apology and full retraction.

    F*ck Fox. If they want to make baseless assumptions about Jill because they've actually nothing to attack Biden with, then I'd invite their reporters in and make them sit there.

    It deflects from the failure to get $15 minimum wage ( AOC and the squad talk the talk but don't walk the walk, useless ) and the $1,500 cheques instead of what was promised $2000.

    No hard questions.

    Look. They're trying their best. There's just not as much to work with as there used to be. There's no whinging about, well, everything, no impromptu policy based on what he was watching on TV, no daft lying about crowd sizes, no public fights with black people, no lugenpresse nonsense, no useless daughters or her husband in the administration, no alternative facts, no praising people who attend Swastica-flying rallies...



    I could go on but you get the picture. They have some hair-sniffing videos, videos where he stutters, deceptively edited videos and now, they have the controversy over calling two black reporters. You have to admit, it's quite sad really.



    They deserve your pity, not your contempt.

    Well, AOC did coordinate the donation and delivery of $5M for people suffering from the power outages in Texas while their senator was in Cancun. Is that what your definition of useless is?

    I must say that when Biden took office I thought that him promising to vaccinate 100 million people was overly ambitious and was thinking it was an mistake that would be later be used to beat him with. And now it turns out that they have vaccinated the 100 million by day 60 of his Presidency and he has set a new target of 200 million by day 100, he has ratcheted up the vaccine program even more. In fairness to him that is some impressive level of leadership, he is absolutely smashing it. At this rate America will be in party mode by July the 4th.

    Plus he announced that his economists are forecasting 6% economic growth for this year. Which means the economy is going to come absolutely raging back with huge numbers of new jobs. Id say in six to nine months time America will be booming again, less than a year after Biden took office. It will be some achievement given the absolute mess that Trump handed over to him.

    And all done with the minimum of fuss and fanfare, he's just what the USA needs after the last 4 years. Hopefully now he'll put an end to this carry on where any nutter can just walk into a shop and walk out 5 minutes later with an assault rifle.

    Complete nonsense background checks are required when you are purchasing a gun in a gun shop. You can't just walk in ask for a gun and walk out with it 5 minutes later.

    It really is silly that some people still believe this nonsense :rolleyes:

    "Federal law requires criminal background checks for all firearm sales by licensed gun dealers to ensure that dealers do not sell guns to felons, domestic abusers, and other people prohibited from having them. However, federal law does not require background checks or any other process for firearms sold by unlicensed sellers."

    A gun show isn't a shop the poster made the claim about walking into a gun shop and getting a gun in 5 mintues not a gun show.

    At least 68% of the guns used in US mass shootings of the last 30 years were obtained legally. Or are you suggesting that people that carried out such shootings are not "nutters"?

    Can any person walk into a gun shop and walk out with a gun 5 minutes later?

    Yes or no?

    5 minutes is probably an exaggeration. Probably more like 10 minutes to do the background check. 10 states have minimum wait periods before you can receive the firearm but in the rest you can walk out of the gun shop with the firearm.
