In defense of Biden

The following was not written by myself, but was posted on another political forum and when I read it, I found the arguments SO succinct, I had to copy it here for all of you to muse over.
There are a few words in the following blog that will be censored out, otherwise this should create some interesting (term used loosely) reactions, particularly from one particular group of people.

ENJOY:

Let Me Know When ...

To those who say that Joe Biden is corrupt, let me know when a
grand jury is convened to decide if he should be indicted on criminal
charges.

me know when he is accused by two dozen women of sexual
assault/molestation/rape, and he starts bragging about grabbing women by
the *****.

let me know when he stands on the world stage and insists that Putin
never interfered in a US election, and then proceeds to do Putin’s
bidding.

rambling on about wind turbines causing cancer, or the Revolutionary War
being won when the revolutionists shut down the airports in 1775.

when his closest allies are convicted and require a pardon to get out of
prison.

agenda simply reads: “The president will have many phone calls and

refuses to attend an international event honouring the war dead because

opponents.

To those who say Joe Biden ‘stole’ the 2020 election, let me know when an iota of proof that this happened emerges.

To those who say Joe Biden is incompetent, let me know when he
starts relying on the wise counsel of a lawyer who doesn’t know the

lawyer whose defence in a lawsuit against her is that “no reasonable
person” would believe a word she says, and a guy who sells pillows.

To those who say Joe Biden is a dangerous threat to our democracy, let me know when he incites an insurrection against our democracy.

So really, let me know. And until you can do so, just shut the **** up.
 
Always comes back to that, doesn’t it. “Yeah, but Trump” is burnd into your brain.
Defending him seems to be burned into yours. I'm glad. You've given yourself a life sentence without parole, because that's how long history will be unkind, not only to Trump, but to his cult of mindless followers.

LOL, this best you can do is “I know you are but what am I”? Not me interjecting “whatabout Trump” in every post on the board. (hyperbole alert).

Since the whole point of posting this OP was to compare Biden to Trump, the comments made on this thread is apropos, DUH!

The thread title is “in defense of Biden” not “let’s compare Biden v Trump”.
Did you read the OP? My guess, you didn't.
OR you did, and missed the point.
Take your pick.

I read as much of the first post as I needed to. In summary:
crybaby.jpgCow manure.jpg
 
Joe Biden is the greatest traitor this country ever had. He continues to openly transfer American oil and gas wealth to Russia and Putin, ultimately shifting trillions of dollars from the USA to Russia, for which Americans are already paying over 50% more for fuel. The Russian flag should be flown over the White House to show who is in charge there.

Wow it must take a lot of time for him to pilot a tanker up through the Black Sea, drive those truckloads of cash across Europe and sneak back to Washington to do presidential stuff.

Got any citation, or is it really just cheese that's required here?

The Trump Derangement Syndrome is strong with this one.

You seem to stupidly believe that this is an "either/or" thing. It's not.

Whether Trump did or didn't do everything you say, everything you say about Biden is accurate...

Ah the TDS defense, let's see, where have I heard THAT one before?

View attachment 67340819

Well, TDS is so damn common, I've sure you've heard it often.

But it's 100% true.

Let's assume Trump was an unqualified disaster. You're using that to say that Biden being an unqualified disaster is perfectly okay, and it's not. You're excusing Biden's very obvious problems because you believe Trump was a disaster. That approach is profoundly ignorant, simply because the fact that we may have had a grossly inept President then does nothing to address the fact that we have a grossly inept President now.

Let me ask you: Would you support the idea of Joe Biden talking a cognitive test right now; today? There would be no one to compare it to. All we would find out is whether or not Biden has the mental agility and fortitude to handle the job.

If so, great! If not, why not? What are you afraid of finding out?

For the record, I've never gotten an affirmative answer from any lib I've posed that question to. When I ask them why not, their answers normally start out with "But Trump..."

If you want to worry about Trump, do that in two years. We need to be worrying about Biden now...
 
Which "very obvious problems" are you referring to?



That's just one instance. There are countless out there.

Take a look at a video of Joe Biden from ten years ago, then take a look at one from a month ago. If you can't see there profound difference, there's no sense in even conversing with you, because it's obvious you're all too willing to dismiss the obvious...

are you prepared for President Harris?

You're kidding right? You actually considered that small portion of his speech "a problem"??
And worse than that, you're swayed by the captions of SkyNews - yet another Über-Reich-wingnut media outlet from Rupert Murdoch ?? Shame on you. Needless to say, anyone who claims that "there are countless out there" has already overblown their partisan hyperbole completely out of the field of play. It is actually someone like you with whom there is no sense conversing!

Or you could prove me wrong - by providing "countless" more examples of this!


(LMAO - I SLAY ME!)

You'll dismiss them because of the source, but that's about as short-sighted as you can get. First, CNN isn't exactly running these videos at the top of the hour. The only place you'll find them is on an outlet that's not too concerned with kissing Biden's ass. Second, it's not like Fox News and Sky News are manufacturing the comments Biden is making.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not being critical of Biden here. The criticism goes to those handlers who prop him up on the dais and hope he doesn't go off the reservation. Biden, I believe, truly believes he's saying and doing everything right and, bless his little heart, I wish he was. But he doesn't have the mental wherewithal to recognize that when he says something like this it raises a lot of eyebrows...

Wrong title. Should be "In defense of whataboutisms".

And irrelevant.
 
These anti-American trump worshipers here are laughable. Who can respect anything they say when they constantly lie, and have put a racist lying conman over their country and their fellow Americans? They are as unpatriotic as trump himself, an embarrassment to the United States of America, and their having been in the service changes nothing. Here's the traitor they're loyal to....what a joke!





 
More for the loyal right wing trump worshipers who dare to criticize President Biden's intelligence or mental capacity after living through four years of an ignorant manchild Donnie Dunce. Says a lot about those people, especially those who voted for the traitor twice. Those republicans who voted for him the first time and then distanced themselves from him once they saw what he was all about, those Americans I can respect. Those Americans have some patriotism.





 
<> You'll dismiss them because of the source, but that's about as short-sighted as you can get. <>

The guy who told your fat slug to shut up and then took his job is senile, is he? I know you are all required to regurgitate the same talking points. I get it. The only way for Trumpists' many Big Lies to prevail is if enough people tear their honor to shreds and repeat the lie, no matter how moronic it is. As long as you get enough people doing that, you'll get enough votes

Thing is.....we both know that Biden is lightyears ahead of Trump when it comes to coherence and competence. So is a dead stoat, but that's neither here nor there. We both know perfectly well that you understand that this is utterly incoherent:
“Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.”


And what else has he said about this revelation that "nuclear is powerful"?
"My uncle used to tell me about nuclear before nuclear was nuclear . . ."He would tell me, 'There are things that are happening that could be potentially so bad for the world in terms of weaponry.' He understood, literally, nuclear before it was nuclear."
 
Hey, @Big Steve , since we're talking about idiocy and this sort of thing, how about some more gems:
“The Continental Army suffered a bitter winter of Valley Forge, found glory across the waters of the Delaware, and seized victory from Cornwallis of Yorktown. Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do. And at Fort McHenry, under the rockets’ red glare, it had nothing but victory. And when dawn came, their Star Spangled Banner waved defiant.”



Revolutionary War Airports yo'.




Here's the guy showing that he does not understand the difference between climate change and particulate pollution, and manages to contradict himself several times in the process.
DAWSEY: You said yesterday when you were leaving that you were skeptical of a climate change report that the government had done. Can you just explain why you're skeptical of that report?
TRUMP: One of the problems that a lot of people like myself — we have very high levels of intelligence, but we’re not necessarily such believers. You look at our air and our water, and it’s right now at a record clean. But when you look at China and you look at parts of Asia and when you look at South America, and when you look at many other places in this world, including Russia, including — just many other places — the air is incredibly dirty. And when you’re talking about an atmosphere, oceans are very small. And it blows over and it sails over. I mean, we take thousands of tons of garbage off our beaches all the time that comes over from Asia. It just flows right down the Pacific, it flows, and we say where does this come from. And it takes many people to start off with.

“And you know when you say ‘per capita,’ there’s many per capitas,” the president said. “It’s like, per capita relative to what? But you can look at just about any category and we’re really at the top, meaning positive, on a per capita basis too.”

"A question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposedly we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. (To Bryan) And I think you said you’re going to test that, too. Sounds interesting, right?"
"And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful."
