Nice to see a President wearing a tailored suit and looking sharp, unlike the previous mess.

I would be more interested in the actual running of the country than if their suit is tailored or not.

Fortunately, he has substance as well as style. The former guy had neither.

Definitely more substance, not sure I see the relavence of style. Strange priorities given the challenges America faces.

Didn't say it was a priority but I would say it's desirable to look the part when you're representing a country on the world stage. Whether we like it or not, image plays a part in how a person is perceived.

Presumably the best plan for Biden in terms of politics would be to pump money and influence into Mexican and other central American border controls. If migrants don't get to Mexico they don't get to the US border and criticism of Mexican border securities actions wouldn't have the same impact.

it will be fun though seeing the media spin kids in boxes being better than kids in cages :pac:

They're not in "boxes" though are they, did you actually read the article you posted? It's run by the non profit Health and Human Services. Any suggestions on what to do with the 7,000 children that are in HHS custody thanks to the incompetency of the previous administration? Or is this another problem that Biden should solve in a day or two?

To find humour in, children being separated from their parents is quite appalling.

isnt the issue the risk in child trafficking by people not the kids parents? , I dont need any moral lectures with a media that is only interested in the politics of it

What was it, two weeks ago, that truno supporters were giving out about Biden reopening some of the places to hold these children that were closed under Trump?

Just another case of Biden doing too much and too little at the exact same time.

And CNN were indeed correct.

That image is in relation to the shooting of Jacob Blake on August 23rd. If you even just look at the data only just after that shooting, let's say the week of the 23rd-30th:

There were a total of 522 protests in the USA, about half of which were related to BLM.
Of those 522 protests, only 30 were considered violent (and not all were BLM related).

https://acleddata.com/2020/09/03/regional-overview-united-states23-29-august-2020/

So yes, the protests were mostly peaceful, and also yes, some of the small number of protests that were violent could be considered fiery. They are not mutually exclusive.

Even in just Kenosha where the shooting occurred, the protests were mostly peaceful on the day on which that report was filmed. It wasn't until night time in that particular part of Kenosha that violence erupted.

CNN were using that same headline earlier in the day so perhaps in hindsight should have changed it when cutting to this reporter in case anti-CNN folk tried to make full use of it by taking it out of context.

(Note that I do believe CNN does somewhat lean to the left, I just think that this is a bad example of demonstrating it.)

Times are difficult for the rightwing media when they really have nothing of substance to complain about. So Newsmax have been forced to have a go at one of the above doggies, complaining he's a "junkyard dog" and not presidential enough. Yes, you did actually see the word "news" in the title of this organisation.

He has much better hair than Trump too, such an amazing man.

Trump was a complete disaster, but the fawning over any American president has always been somewhat cringy, talking about how stylish they are is an example of that. Sorry. It reminds me of Fr. Ted being enamoured with the American priest.

Water John · 23-02-2021 10:57pm

Mitch McConnell never said anything about Trump's ratbag team:
'Also under fire was Xavier Becerra, California’s attorney general whom Biden tapped for health secretary.

“We will study Mr Becerra’s testimony today but I find it hard to see how such a radical and underqualified candidate could take such a crucial position at such a critical time” during the coronavirus pandemic, top Senate Republican Mitch McConnell said.' Guardian

How does McConnell call somebody far more educated than himself underqualified?

He is a little loose with his phrasing but I am pretty sure everyone got his meaning.

When he says underqualified he just means not appointed by a republican. Guessing a regional thing. Or he is just a horrible human who cares little for facts.

Professor Moriarty · 24-02-2021 10:44am

I think there is much merit in what McConnell says. I don't see why a lawyer should become Secretary of Health and Human Services given that there would be many suitable people highly qualified and experienced in Public Health.

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.

Maybe she should follow the previous administration's lead and pop down wearing an "I really don't care, do you" jacket? Oh no wait, she's too busy raising funds for Texas.

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?

Yes we can agree on that. I have criticized trump so that cult im assuming is aimed at other posters.

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.

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...

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.

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.
