Which of Biden's FULFILLED PROMISES hurts the most?

Oh please, be serious.
Antifa are no friends to Democrats or any liberals.
But I know that you'll spend the rest of your life insisting they are.
You'll spend the rest of your life insisting Democrats ARE radical leftists.
Then why were members of the Biden campaign, and others, contributing to rioter's bail to have them released and recommit rioting?

The Democrats and the left demands repeated condemnation of people they don't like from the right on a constant basis, why were there no loud condemnations from the start of the riots until many months later? (Pro Hint: The riots were perceived as politically useful to the Democrats and the left as a means to blame someone else for them). Realistically it was the city and state government leaders which have failed their constituents with their leftist ideologically driven, and not reality driven, terrible public policy WRT these riots. This is why their constituents have suffered billions in property damage, which continues unabated, apparently.
 
This is a point without significance.

Did campaign workers contribute to this fund to bail. out rioters to return them continuing rioting?
The answer would appear to be 'yes'.
The "Minnesota Freedom fund" has been around for years and received $31 million from over 900,000 individual donations in 2020. Those funds were used to bail out 1000's of low income persons who could not afford their bail like rich people can. Apparently you think only the rich deserve to be innocent until proven guilty and those nearly 1 million people who don't agree are all subversives and traitors. More projection?

Nearly half a million people at any given time are in jail awaiting trial. Low-income defendants might spend weeks or months behind bars, while richer defendants return to their jobs and families. Or they might plead guilty to a crime they didn't commit because they can't afford to wait in jail until their court date. The system disproportionately hurts people of color.
Bail funds pay to spring those low-income defendants from jail. And funds across the country saw an influx in funds, prompted by calls to action on social media, as people sought to support the activists taking to the street to protest the killing of George Floyd.

And because of the way bail funds work, the dollars being donated now could have a transformative impact for years to come.

None. Biden is doing what he promised the over 81 million people who voted for him. He's also erasing the Trump presidency with a stroke of his pen.
 
The last three Democrats? You might want to rethink that.

1972: (R) Richard Nixon
1976: )D) Jimmy Carter
1980: (R) Ronald Reagan
1984: (R) Ronald Reagan
1988: (R) George Bush
1992: (D) Bill Clinton
1996: (D) Bill Clinton
2000: (R) George Bush
2004: (R) George Bush
2008: (D) Barack Obama
2012: (D) Barack Obama
2016: (R) Donald Trump
2020: (D) Joe Biden

In fairness, Bush barely won both his elections, with 2000 essentially being a tie. Also, 2004 was very close despite Bush benefiting from the "war time" president status.

The GOP hasn't won a presidential election with an actual mandate since 1988.
 
The part where he leads an insurrection against congress in a futile attempt to overturn an election that ends in 5 people being killed.
Like that happened. :ROFLMAO: Tell us another funny story.

Oh wait - Sorry, Joe didn’t do that! All the stuff you list is awesome and not that!
Most of the stuff is superficial. The pipeline ban is easily the worst because he did it without proper diplomatic notice. Even Trump was better than that.

I can see why you're a Trump fan. He did a lot of good work in the area of minority incarceration.

:ROFLMAO:

Biden has not even scratched the paint.

The main problem is transgender women in women's sports. BTW, did you watch her game?

You agree to an end to other discrimination against transgender people, and I'll agree to a study how to address transgender women in women's sports.
 
"Show me evidence that the Biden campaign itself authorized donations."
Not a claim I've made. Always reading in that which was not posted but was wanted to be posted. :rolleyes:
(You really should stop doing that, it is a fundamentally dishonest debating tactic)

My claim, as documented, is that campaign staff contributed (which they did per Snopes).
Further, the present VP promoted the same effort.

Just have to imagine how many businesses and small business lives and life long sweat equity were swiped out because rioters were freed to return to rioting rather than being held in custody, preventing them from further rioting and destruction those innocent's lives.

But I've come to realize that people's misery means very little to the left, just as long as they can maintain and gain political power 'by whatever means necessary'.


May you soon learn the difference between a protester and a rioter.

Ivan Hunter, 26, is accused of traveling from Texas to Minneapolis to meet up with other members of the 'Boogaloo Bois' with the goal of carrying out acts of violence during the riots.

I believe the "XL oil pipeline permit" and "new oil and natural gas permit" in the short term; "transgender athletes in school sports", "The Paris Agreement" and WHO in the long run,
  • Stopping the wall building
  • Reentering WHO
  • Reentering The Paris Agreement
  • Stopping children deportation
  • Ending the Muslim ban
  • Re-entering the Paris climate accord
  • Revoking XL oil pipeline permit
  • Stopping new oil and natural gas permit
  • Banning Fracking in Fed land
  • Protecting transgender athletes in school sports

First of all, there was never a Muslim ban.

Well aware of the difference between a lawful protest and a riot.
The moment there is any property destruction, not following lawful orders of the police, it's a riot, such as we've seen at the capital as well as Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, and other Democrat controlled cities.
 
You agree to an end to other discrimination against transgender people, and I'll agree to a study how to address transgender women in women's sports.
C'mon man, naming anyone who doesn't like this idea is transphobia. Give me a break, I am Canadian. I never discriminate against transgender people. I just don't like this idea of a transgender woman in a non-co-ed sport.

Then what's the problem with my suggestion? You seem to be agreeable.

Was not aware that Texas had any "Democrat controlled" cities. Oh, you didn't even look at my citation about who was firing a gun into the police station in Minneapolis.
 
It's like I have been telling folks .. that portland and seattle antifa are just the anarchists who took the antifa label.

The black mask anarchist kids have been a FIXTURE up in Portland (and yes, to some extent, Seattle) since the late 1960's.
Most younger Antifa™ of today fit into a small handful of political categories, and the two largest components are socialist or anarchist, and the lines are kind of blurry between those two.

Now, "antifa" as a CONCEPT is something altogether different.
The American men (and women) who fought in World War Two are the epitome of "ANTI-FASCISM" because they were willing to offer the ultimate sacrifice, in uniform, to defend our Constitution, our republic and its democratic ideals.

Just marching around, getting into street altercations and engaging in civil unrest, rioting, arson and vandalism and then returning home to their safe homes in the suburbs does absolutely NOTHING to "defend our Constitution, our republic and its democratic ideals."
The cold hard facts are, it also does absolutely NOTHING to repel or defeat Nazis or fascism in general either.
The fact is, the Antifa™ of today actually constitutes the best recruiting tool fascists have ever dreamed of.

But all of that has less to do with the situation in Portland and more to do with the schism in our collective experience as a nation.
To get a handle on the issues in Portland, one must recognize that "Portland anarchists" (and their Antifa components) ARE A THING and HAVE BEEN a THING for decades, entirely apart from issues and events in recent memory.
Portland anarchists are as much a long term part of the landscape up there as lumberjacks.
 
PORTLAND, Ore. — In the hours after President Biden’s inauguration on Wednesday, hundreds of people gathered for a series of events across the liberal city of Portland, Ore. — not to celebrate, but to mobilize for the struggles to come.

At one demonstration, speakers denounced Mr. Biden as a “feckless puppet of the centrist Democratic establishment.” At another, crowds of antifascist and racial justice protesters made their doubts about the new president even more explicit, burning a Biden flag in the street. At a third event, several people smashed the windows of the local Democratic Party headquarters. “We are ungovernable,” the group’s banner declared.



I SAID:
You and the rest of the Trump worshipping gang should be apoplectic after all those years of branding Democrats as Antifa's best buds 4Ever.

You think you can ignore that but everyone else here is reading this.
 
I think it's disappointing that he didn't revoke just all of Punkinhead's EOs using one EO. I submit this as a future option.



This will free up some time for other issues to be addressed.
According to the Supreme Court, a president can't dismiss a previous president's E.O. unless the Supreme Court gives prior-authorization.

It's not going to be evenly applied of course and it clearly represents one of the worst S.C. decisions ever made.

My guess is that Biden can reverse Punkinhead's unilateral idiocy when it comes to EOs.

Oh, you didn't even look at my citation about who was firing a gun into the police station in Minneapolis.
OK I'll admit that I didn't look at it. Now that I have, I'm perfectly fine with someone who break s the law like that to be arrested, charged and tried.

But if you expect me to believe that based on one instance of some idiots throwing 13 rounds at a police station somehow demonstrates all the other instances of violence and property destruction are all the same, I'm going to have to disappoint you.

I am happy with anyone who breaks the law being arrested, charged and tried.

A lot of different people from different places for different reasons were involved in the riots. Most of the arrests in Minnesota were people from Minnesota; not all from the metro, however. I was pointing out that there are groups like Boogaloo Boiz and Proud Boys who travel the country to insert themselves in crowds with intent to cause a new civil war with their actions.

The FBI announced Tuesday that Steven Carrillo, the U.S. Air Force sergeant who allegedly murdered law enforcement officers in California during protests earlier this month, was associated with the right-wing Boogaloo movement, and that Carrillo chose the timing of his attacks to "take advantage of a time when this nation was mourning the killing of George Floyd."

There are similar groups of people on the left doing exactly the same thing (previously reported).
All of those groups and all of those people engaged in this should be roundly condemned from every side, as they serve no purpose other than anarchy.
