President Biden's Speech: Killed It! (My Opinion)

Hey guys! I just wanted to make a blog post about Biden's speech today, and I guess fully lay out my thoughts on this.

Hands down, the best speech of his entire career, not just as POTUS. I never have felt more pleased by a Biden speech, and it feels like he aged backwards a few years, because he didn't stumble in this speech at all. I'm very pleased that the Biden administration is taking charge on this angle. Biden's whole thing was running on bipartisanship, which is why he got elected. I think he was intending to bring back the sort of cooperation that he enjoyed as a member of the United States Senate for Delaware. And that's honestly admirable of him; he wasn't my choice for POTUS, but I was very much proud to have voted for him. But 'MAGA Republicans' are a whole different breed. The GOP largely still doesn't accept Biden's 2020 victory, and they defend everything Trump does under the sun, and pushes back at everything the Biden administration is looking to pass for the sake of blocking it. There was absolutely no excuse to vote against the PACT act, but about 20 or so Republicans switched their votes for the sake of blocking it, and only switched them back after they got severly ridiculed by the public, not limited to loads to veteran's advocacy groups. Examples such as this are why I am very glad Biden is taking the trail that he does, and that he did in this speech. You can't be bipartisan with this sort of ridiculousness! This is the crowd retweeting #PedoHitler on Twitter for Christ's sake. I think Biden is actually using his positon as POTUS properly here; as a tool to invigorate his base. Donald Trump, never shied away from using his position as POTUS to get his base going, and look at them; they love him for it. They love him to the point some went as far as committing capital crimes in his name. Biden was always generally mellowed out before this (a lot of the time, anyway), and that's very hard to unite around when we're facing such a big threat to our own democracy and our norms at the moment. We need to have a loud and proud leader that advocates for the right things in the right way, not someone who whimpers into the sunset. I think Joe's focus on an ideological committment to protecting democracy was the right way to frame this speech. This stuff isn't going to go away if we just ignore it; it needs to be addressed head-on, and with a heck a lot of spunk. This is the type of leadership that is going to get our people out to vote in the midterms!

Let me also say again that I am not mixing all Republicans into this. I very much respect all the Republicans/conservatives that do not parrot Trump's idiocy and his lies. It very much sucks that the moderate faction in the Republican party keeps shrinking, but I hope that these people keep going strong. I think this is a great move for the Biden administration, for the Democratic Party, and everyone in the USA that is deeply concerned about how Donald Trump has damaged our democracy in this country. I feel like we've finally got the direction that I've been pining for from this administration.

Heck yes, am I proud to have Joe Biden as my President. This is what I want to see from Joe, and even if the midterms don't go the way that I'd like them too, I hope he doesn't drop this for the remainder of his presidency.

Pawpaw's publicity minders would have had to work really hard to make Dear Leader look more evil than he does in this shot. It looks like a morph of The Manchurian Candidate and The Devil's Advocate.

Even the NRA supported the original National Instant Criminal Background System (NICS). What the fascist Democrats support is expanding it to create a national firearms registry.



Sounds fascist to me: "Who cares about the constitution! Taking your guns is the will of the people! And we have to stop the MAGAs who don't support the constitution!"

Wait!

"...fascist Democrats" ?

What the ****?

Do you know what is a fascist?

Look in the mirror....

You don't even understand high school political science and you are trying to start a war!

Well now....

That's a well thought out and balanced post.

Like we need more childish input

It has its historical meaning, which was an outgrowth of 19th and early-20th Century progressive, labor movement, and socialist thinking that fermented in the salons of Europe. Today, it's an abused term commonly used as an epithet to describe people you disagree with politically. For me, that would be leftist Democrats.

So, labor unions wanted fascism? Because that would not be historically accurate.

If you can find one post where I totally supported sleepy Joe, I will pay you $1,000.

He only looks good because Trump is such a total disaster.

But speaking on puppet reactions, what about you ASSUMING I am a member of Joe's fan club based on ONE POST>

But it is classic Trumpist. Classic. If you don't like it or don't understand it give it a negative nick name and start hurling insults.

And that is the most annoying feature of Trumpists..you assume anyone not completely in agreement is an enemy. Well, I am now. How to win friend and influence people

Good going!

So I guess you missed the many, many, declarations by democrats including members of Congress and the left media that Trump was an illegitimate President?
Maybe you didn't see Joe Biden's inagural address where he promised to be an American President who swore to represent those who didn't vote for him as much as those who did.
Joe hasn't done a thing to unite the nation. His version of uniting us means you can't disagree with him or the democrat agenda.
Can you define a "MAGA REPUBLICAN"?
Threats on democracy. He accused half the nation of being a threat to democracy.
You can't defend his accusations, he said what he said. He didn't make distinctions, he just claimed Republicans were threats to democracy. He is the great divider. Sorry excuse of a President.
You really need to do some research into Trumps legislative agenda, what he did or didn't do. Also take a look at the attacks on Trump by democrats, such as the Trump Russia Collusion Hoax. Completely fabricated by democrats and FBI/DOJ members. If you don't research you don't know.

I disagree with every word of that.

Um, that's a Tuesday for Trump. Really, right wing media has been saying the left is trying to destroy America since Obama.
Even the GOP platform says it:
gop.com

About Our Party | GOP

Learn about the Republican Party’s platform.
gop.com gop.com
"As the left attempts to destroy what makes America great, the Republican Party is standing in the breach to defend our nation and way of life"

Your phony cries aren't making any sense in context.

I actually can defend his actions. He did not say Republicans are a threat to democracy, he said MAGA Republicans, people that to this day, refuse to accept the results of the 2020 election. Those people are a threat to our democracy. People like Don Coram and that Mayor of OKC are not.

I've done plenty of that over his tenure of four years, thanks.

That imagery certainly is troubling.

Is the White House events coordination staff as asleep as is most of this administration?
 
What a divisive speech. Election day November 8th is only some 9 weeks away. This nasty read meat speech is some sort of attempt to whip up the Democrat base. I think this speech does more to whip up the Right.

No. The scary thing is that was the look they were going for. Most hateful, divisive Presidential speech in my lifetime. Only people cheering are the far left loons. Was he in that much danger of losing them that he had to give that speech?

Telling a MAGA to grow up is like telling the same to a toddler. It will only lead to louder tantrums. There’s not much one can do with misbehaving toddlers other than to manage them sternly, until they misbehave so much that they have to be disciplined. I suspect that’s where we are as a nation.
Click to expand...
I think about all that can be done with the Magaites is to keep refuting their propaganda, saying they do not represent American thinking or way of life often enough and loud enough so that Republicans and Democrats stop fearing their wild rhetoric, political threats and incomprehensible conspiracies and begin to speak out against them, their bigotry and religiosity and for cooperative representative government.

I guess the idea was to capture the symbolism of Independence Hall, but someone dropped the ball when it came to what people would actually see, like in this perfect video screenshot.

Much more than a mistake. Shadowy marines at attention in the background with heavy red up lighting on the brick wall. The red lighting made biden look ghastly green in contrast to the red. The final foreboding element was to position the camera looking up at Biden. Everything was intentional. The intention was completely militaristic, which is interesting since the topic was about how terrible half of the country's voters are.

Nope, most toddlers aren't armed.
Other than that, yes of course, but you have to take the fact that they're armed into consideration, which cancels out the toddler factor even though you are right about that as far as their temperament.

No American ever should have feared anything from them, that's what MADE them stronger and more violent.
That fear gave them a boner of Uncle Miltie proportions.
