March 10, 20214 yr 4 minutes ago, The Norseman said: What do Biden's nonsensical, geriatric rantings have to do with Trump anyway? By comparison, they are refreshing.
March 10, 20214 yr 4 minutes ago, The Norseman said: You're talking about the wrong party again No, I'm definitely talking about Republicans. If that doesn't describe you then great, fight for reform within your party. But that's where the Republican Party stands at the moment.

I think that is what needs to be critiqued. Why not? Why can internet celebrities as Lloyd mentioned become president, rather than those more capable individuals as you mentioned. Before you think I am slagging of the US system, I am not, it is the best there is; however I think we should always critique and strive for better.

So they can possibly earn more than the $400k yearly elsewhere, but surely being President gives ambitious individuals a platform to make a great change for the future of so many and that should be enticing to many. I guess not. If it is money, then maybe they should be paid more, considering there is no more significant job in the world.
March 10, 20214 yr Would I have preferred another candidate, one who could speak more eloquently and was more inspiring? Yeah. But that wasn't on the ballot. Biden will always be compared to Trump because that's the binary choice we had in Nov 2020. Just like how the ultimate fallback position for Trump supporters the last four years was "but Hillary" Deal with it.
March 10, 20214 yr 13 minutes ago, Lloyd said: He was talking about the party that invaded the Capitol to stop the certification of a democratic election at Trump's behest. And then still chose to embrace Trump after the fact. Just like the people that destroyed half of Portland for 6 months don't represent ALL democrats. The fools that broke into the Capitol don't represent ALL republicans. Most Republican's I know were hoping Trump would be impeached so we wouldn't have to deal with him in the primary again. Both sides need to stop taking the most extreme factions and their behavior as broadcast examples of their opposition. But here you've all turned the narrative back to Trump again, instead of the drooling old fool that you've elected.

Biden is now our president and will be evaluated and judged as such. He is now subject to the same scrutiny that every other president before him has been.

You have the best Universities and developed minds in the world, you can't tell me that is the best you have. Maybe someone who is not a fossil that happens to be better than some chump by a small margin. Lots of young people have run for president in both 2020 and 2016. They lost. All of them. By a lot.
March 10, 20214 yr 36 minutes ago, The Norseman said: No one is talking about Trump except those of you trying to deflect from Biden's obvious shortcomings. If Biden was a Republican president you'd all be screaming that he was unfit for office do to his drooling gibberish. Amazing though, how the entire herd of you comes out guns blazing in his defense....I must have hit a nerve. What you seem to be missing in all of your queefing about Trump comparisons is that he's once again the presumptive nominee for 2024. It's perfectly reasonable to compare Biden to the candidate he'll be running against. Sucks for you, but turns thems the breaks when you sell your soul to the devil. Enjoy the irrelevance!

March 10, 20214 yr 40 minutes ago, The Norseman said: Half the nation cares and you should too. The man is barely capable of completing sentences and that's somehow ok because you didn't like the last president? We've moved from "literally can't" to "barely". Progress at least. Also, I'd like to point out that President Biden, your President, has a 60% approval rating.

Don't critique the President, they are above any sort of scrutiny? I didn't say you couldn't critique the guy. Critique away, I'm not going to get all indignant. You'll find that I don't drive a pickup truck with a Biden flag, nor do I worship him as some savior of the union. He's a president. That's it. But I do find it delicious to see people complaining about Biden tripping over his words when for the last four years Trump apologists saw no fault in their guy, for example, suggesting we inject bleach to defeat the virus.

I haven't made a single Trump comparison. I'm critiquing Biden, you guys keep bringing up Trump and it has nothing to do with the fact that he may run again. It's because you all are obsessed with him and have been for years.

And until Trump says he's not running in 2024, it's going to be the same choice we'll have again in 4 years. Maybe Biden steps down and Harris runs against Trump, but until that happens, the Biden v Trump comparison is what'll dominate the discussion because that's what the choices presumably will be.
March 10, 20214 yr Just now, Gannan said: Biden is Lincoln compared to any dingbat your fascist tin foil hat party of loons will run. Lincoln was possibly the most hated president in history while he was in office. So hated in fact that he was murdered while in office by his opposition. He also happened to be a Republican.

It has plenty to do with the fact he'll run again. You're just pissy because you know it's another guaranteed loss and there's nothing you can do about it. Maybe don't vote for an absolute moron and abject failure next time and you won't be in this unenviable situation.
March 10, 20214 yr Just now, The Norseman said: Trump's was 62% in March of 2017 In what universe did that happen? Trump never cracked 50%. And don't give me Rasmussen, they don't count. I don't think even Rasmussen got above 51. https://news.gallup.com/poll/284156/trump-job-approval-personal-best.aspx

Yeah the republican party Lincoln led is so much like the one today that wants to get rid of elections, term limits, congress, and civil rights. Good call.
