Joe Biden a good President

[EagerBeaver]

I can't remember the last time an incumbent President lost in his party's primaries. I think Teddy Kennedy strongly challenged Jimmy Carter in 1980 and might have won the nomination but he had too many skeletons in his closet. The Mary Jo Kopechne tragedy hung over his head like a black cloud, and rendered him unelectable. Lyndon Johnson didn't seek nomination in 1968, fearing defeat due to the Vietnam War.

Biden has a chance to make history, although not in a good way but in a very, very bad way.

Maybe they could edit it by changing it to "Joe Biden A VERY Good President Compared to the Treasonous One Just Before Him".

You know that the sentence for treason is death by a shooting squad.
I wonder if it would be shown on TV to make other treators think.

Article doesn’t mention that the caller was a Republican, a Trump follower, etc. It does mention that the presidents approval rating is in the shitter.

C'mon dude! If you honestly think this yahoo voted for Biden...
Anyway in the spirit of today, "Merry Christmas, you filthy animal(s)."

He should not be allowed to run for re-election under any circumstances and the Democratic Party either has to ask him nicely to not seek re-election and head back to his ranch a la Lyndon Johnson, or if he refuses such request, then prop up a candidate who can be supported to defeat him. Just about any other Democrat would be better. I would vote for Hilary Clinton over Biden.

Actually even a sitting president needs to technically be renominated by his party before running for a second term. No 20th Century president was ever denied this but it did happen a few times in the 1800s.
If the Democrats were smart they would pull a Rutherford B. Hayes on Biden.

Don’t be upset with me because you didn’t read the article that you posted. I read this article and it mentions this, how you say, “yahoo”. Not all Americans that hate the job Brandon is doing are Republicans or Trump supporters.

Schmeck said he “stood 100% behind what I did and what I said,” adding he’s not a supporter of former President Donald Trump but is frustrated with Biden policies such as federal vaccine mandates, along with issues like inflation.

I didn't post anything. I replied to EB's post and that was it. So that's your first mistake. Your second mistake was making my case for me with the link you quoted. (I didn't think my initial reply was worth two more replies over minutiae. I really need to learn to laugh like Purplem and walk away). So while we're at it, the guy referring to himself as not a Trump supporter doesn't preclude him from being a Republican (which is what I called him). So he's repeating a chant started and repeated by Republicans while railing against decontextualized inflation (oh, and vaccine mandates seeing as how 90%+ Democrats are vaccinated) while talking to The New York Post? Even Scooby Doo would be like, "Well that doesn't sound like a Bernie Bro"-- and he's a goddamn fictional dog!

Bidet has had more people die during his term than the previous administration even though he has had 3 fully approved and successful vaccines handed to him on a silver platter.
He has promised rapid test kits to everyone who needs it when they need it, yet another lie.
inflation is sky rocketing so are infections and deaths hospitals are being over run, but of course this must be all due to Republican states, governors mayors and ordinary Republicans.
Good news is he probably hasn’t got a clue what is happening, the poor old fool has trouble remembering his name never mind that he is President and actually has to now own what is happening.
Even better news there is always Kamala there to lend a helping hand lol. Where the fuck is that invisible witch, not that I miss her miserable cackle.

He is so full of shit! In fact he wanted a news conference to announce it but the major networks, knowing it was ridiculous bullshit, refused to cover it.

It's incredibly rare.
Usually there are no serious runs (you can always find a vanity run in the corner somewhere).
But since a strong run is usually considered a sign of weakness, most parties hate it when someone tries.
There was a reason the GOP changed the rules about running and even cancelled some primaries to protect Trump in 2020.

If Biden's approval numbers are still this low in late 2023, it is possible someone will make a run at it. If they creep back up at all, though, it isn't likely.

Just happy to get a rise out of you. Looks like Biden may not be able to deliver on the promised at home Covid tests:

The rapid test thing has been a failure in both the US and Canada.
They should have been a major tool and subsidized heavily and both countries dropped the ball on it.
Playing catch up now is going to be a logistical shit show and Biden, Trudeau, LeGault, all of them, deserve getting flack over this.

Catching up is also difficult because the demand for the test is crushing any available supply. When you also remember that vaccination initially tamped down testing demand as cases haven't been this high in a while, any production surge right now for tests is further behind the 8 ball.

The UK has been doling out tests because the NHS is intricately involved in their citizens' health, compared to the mostly private healthcare system we have. So unlike Trudeau, Biden has an excuse there. Sending out tests is also a reversal from the position Jen Psaki took weeks ago. Ultimately, if Biden makes the promise he should be held accountable on whether he achieves it or fails too.

You didn't piss me off, guy. The only thing you're pissing off is the English language because the difference between "your" (a possessive) and "you're" (a contraction) is evidently difficult for you.

I think maybe if you want to be an English language professor an escort review board is not the place to look for prime candidates.
You are on a Montreal forum and you are complaining about English good luck with that lol.
I think that is something Bidet might do ( yes I don’t know how to spell either).

I really do not understand why any intelligent, forward thinking Democrat would defend Biden, as opposed to seeking his historic defeat in the 2024 primaries. It is common sense that if dead weight is sinking your ship, you toss that dead weight overboard. I think that Biden is substantially harming the Democratic party. The Democratic party hitches its future to the growing non-white electorate. Yet Biden, a repulsive throwback to white privilege, has insulted black and Hispanic voters at every turn, and has shown himself to be a product of the same white privilege that spawned older white Republicans that are anathema to young, enlightened Democrats. What has been pathetic has been Biden's efforts to appeal to this part of the electorate, with utterly failed results, because he is incapable of being a leader for these people:

Biden’s History of Getting Away With Racist Remarks

Joe Biden has a decades-long habit of making overtly racist remarks, taking discriminatory positions and cavorting with known racists—things that would get anyone to his political right tossed out of polite society. But being on the left must make it okay. Just a few days ago, while lamenting...

It's beyond disgusting that any person who calls themself a Democrat would defend this piece of shit.

There are definitely reasons it ended up this way, but just overall "testing" in North America has always been focused on clinic testing because it is "more accurate" and that was a mistake. Testing as diagnosis is important, sure, but testing as intervention (people deciding to stay home, change their exposure, mitigate risk) has broader impact as a public health measure.

It's fine for Biden to say he wants to do it now, but as you say ramping up under these conditions is going to be tough. But he's also saying things like they changed their mind because no one foresaw when epidemiologists and others have been saying it was a good thing to do for 18 months or more.

We will see how he handles the roll out. At least he appears to be moving in the right direction on this.

Think about how consistently racist in actual effect the GOP has to be that Biden has such support despite all the things you are claiming here.
That's the thing about a two party system - you always have to compare what's happening with what the other side is offering.

I don't know if Fucked (Fox) News has shown the President speech this morning.
If someone find one false Statement he made, he should see a physician or a psychiatrist because someone has stolen his brain.

Just you wait. As of days ago, there were Trump voters still claiming it was the FBI/Democrats/Antifa/insert other generic bogeyman that stormed the Capitol. The enemy of modern Republicans is not Democrats. The enemy of modern Republicans is reality.

It seems that the Republican Congress and Senate members are absent in Washington.
They are probably hiding in their holes like the rats most of them are !

While I`ve expected more from Biden and was critical of his screw-ups.....he is a 1000 times better for the world and America than Trump was.
I love animals and Trump`s fear or hatred of pets and dogs in particular was one of the many reasons that he turned me off. Biden loves nature and animals .....I credit him for that and consider him a good humane being who is doing his best in a screwed up world.

Joe Biden's degenerate, crack-addicted, cheating son Hunter has been keeping a low profile recently. But his former wife of 24 years will publish a tell-all book next summer about what it's like to be married to, well, the degenerate, crack-addicted, cheating son of a famous politician and future president. Crazy Joe did such a terrible job raising his son.
