This thread is not about Trump.

Biden. What a contemptuous buffoon incapable or befitting of the office of the presidency. Why didn't bright bulb say this when he was campaigning and telling the voters he had a plan to crush the pandemic?

Well, President Joe Biden finally decided to say the quiet part out loud. After months of carrying on about a national plan and the need to follow guidelines and best practices, he finally threw his hands in the air and admitted it.

This pandemic will end when the states sort out how to end it.

"Look, there is no federal solution," Biden said Monday, according to a transcript of a conversation he had with a group of governors. "This gets solved at a state level."

Not sure a thread not blaming Trump for killing thousands of Americans and wanting to put him in jail will gain much traction on this site.

I disagree with Biden, at this point it gets solved at an individual level. The government’s job was to make vaccines accessible. They’ve made good on that promise. Now it is up to individuals to do right by their nation, or die and make room for more committed, patriotic immigrants. Either way it’s a win-win for our nation.

It is not in federal nor state government hands.

it wasnt long ago Biden was telling Texas and Republican governors to "get out of the way"
Biden is a zombie -with goonish tendencies

Lol, telling the governors to get out of the way and then telling them "this gets solved at the state level". Contradict much?

My aim is for posters to list Biden's careless remarks where he deliberately deceived the American people when it came to what he was planning to do when "crushing the virus". In fact, he said that by Christmas, we'd probably be back to normal. Does this look like normal to you??? .....

by now people either completely tune Biden out as BS, or make excuses for him
and the media of course covers his tracks like my cat in his litter box..so he yammers on

I agree. Unfortunately we are stuck with a buffoon with a dim bulb currently blinking in and out… and at some point in time the bulb will blink and go out.

I think, Biden the candidate running for President from his basement told potential voters all manners of untruths to get elected.

The plan to crush the pandemic was his greatest falsehood.

 

[eohrnberger]

Whether at the federal level or at the state level, it is an illusion that a pandemic such as COVID is 'controllable' by either.

I recall when Biden made those COVID promises, thinking 'yeah, right'.

 

[Antiwar]

There's no contradiction. Some governors have been blocking Covid-19 protocols, so he said 'get out of the way.'

He's rephrased it because they haven't gotten out of the way, so now 'it's up to them.'

Imagine that, a politician making promises that would be nearly impossible to keep.

The whole world screwed up; that's why Covid-19 is a pandemic. If someone had invested in serious preparations for another coronavirus emerging (we've been there before; we got ~warnings), the pandemic could've been prevented.

Do you realize it's the 'Biden administration'?

Do you realize that the 'pan' in pandemic means it's an international problem?

I disagree. It's in humanity's (as a whole) hands. And federal governments have powers to affect broad changes; individuals don't.

I get what you're saying; individuals could cooperate.

 

[eohrnberger]

Imagine that, a politician making promises that would be nearly impossible to keep.

Which is exactly why my thinking was 'yeah, right'. Seems we have some common ground here.

The whole world screwed up; that's why Covid-19 is a pandemic.

I think those are 2 independent variables. The world could be screwed up and have a COVID pandemic, or the world could be perfectly fine and have a COVID pandemic.

If someone had invested in serious preparations for another coronavirus emerging (we've been there before; we got ~warnings), the pandemic could've been prevented.

You are far more optimistic than I when it comes to the puny efforts humans can manage when it comes to controlling something like a pandemic.
We do pretty good with other things, some better than others.

Oh please... that is not why he reversed his stance. He knew his powers came second to the states but he let the people think he really had the power to crush this thing and guess what, you probably believed his fairytales.

Yes.

The past timeframe was when Biden was a candidate running for President…he told voters… He had a plan to crush the pandemic.

The current timeframe is the Biden Administration.

So far the Biden administration has not crushed Covid in the United States or in any other Nations.

Can you specifically identify the lie and show how it's a lie?

 

[CharisRose]

Biden, the crusher.

Yes, The POTUS who is crushing the American way of Life, Liberty and The Pursuit of Happiness.

Via Mandates on American Citizens… as multitudes of people are crossing our borders who are not subject to the Mandates forced upon American Citizens.

Talk about an international super spreader Biden plan to crush Covid?

 

[Antiwar]

Yes.

The past timeframe was when Biden was a candidate running for President…he told voters… He had a plan to crush the pandemic.

Yeah, he exaggerated. The pandemic can't be stopped without vaccinating the world. It can run its course, or it can be stopped. Right now it's running its course.

The current timeframe is the Biden Administration.

So far the Biden administration has not crushed Covid in the United States or in any other Nations.

I'm talking about the "Biden is a buffoon" stuff. Presidents are managers not one-person shows.

We had ~warnings with other SARS-CoV epidemics. We had the ability to prepare for another emerging: monitoring coronaviruses in the wild; making antiviral drugs and such; and having sufficient healthcare. Nobody invested in it because there's no return on investment.

We'll have to agree to disagree. Sure, the virologists believe the COVID pandemic could have been prevented, such is the high self-opinion they tend to have of themselves and their capabilities, but I'm much more inclined to lean to:

“Life breaks free. Life expands to new territories. Painfully, perhaps even dangerously. But life finds a way.”

We can get into the discussion if a virus is technically 'alive' or not, but I think the above quote also apples to viruses.

He lied.

This POTUS is not a manager. This POTUS is being managed by underlings that were not elected by The American Voters.

Only a buffoon President who is answering questions from the press… will tell the press that he will ‘get in trouble’ if he answers anymore questions.

imho

 

[eohrnberger]

The article gives excellent reasoning.

I'm sure it does. But I'm also confident that doesn't address the point raised in my quote, that life always finds a way.
That's OK. We don't have to agree on everything. 'Cause life', eh?
