It was his personality that led him to promise them beer eight years ago.
I mean, I've promised things before that have slipped my mind, haha. Probably would have gone better if I had people keeping track of those.

So what if it was? That's your only criticism.

Trump doesn't do any of this stuff - at all. He cares so little, he doesn't even put in the effort to even pretend to care, because frankly, he's only cared about one thing in his entire life:
Himself.
You can't say the same about Biden. You're free to disagree with him or his policies, he might've not been your first, second or even third choice, but he's a caring, empathetic human being and more importantly, he's all you've got right now.
He's someone resembling a President. You think Trump would've done this? Any of it? He'd probably throw toilet rolls, until they'd asked him to stop.
You don't have to like him. You don't have to vote for him. But don't come into a thread about a positive upliftning gesture only to insert your cynicism in a world with Donald fucking Trump as the sitting President. We've had enough of that already.
Whats the point of threads where Trump does something horrible? Except, bad guy Trump?I mean, if there's no discussion to be had about the substance or legitimacy of the event, or to even have a meta discussion about how people react to these kinds of things, I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of the thread is besides saying "good guy Biden"

he's a politician
he prob made the promise and then wrote it down in a journal or sommit
"the next time i meet with so-and-so, get them some beers"
Thank you for sharing this. With the current stakes of this year on top of Trump's inability to function as a person, it's easy to forget the human side of politics. That seems to be an area where Biden particularly excels that isn't apparent remotely.I got to spend an afternoon with Mr Biden when his campaign rented out a park building that I managed. He was incredibly funny, engaging, and seemed to really care about listening to everyones' stories.
I asked him about student loan debt. He spent maybe 10 minutes going every almost every facet of his ideas. Can't say I agreed with all of them, but I was impressed.
I was more impressed by his ability to recall an anecdote that applied to every single one of the 30 or so local "VIPs" that were there.
Before they left for their next stop Mr Biden came back across the facility to shake my hand, thank me for all of the work I put into the event, and gave me an official VP coin.
He might be a gaffe machine, but once you get past that there is a man who is still at the top of his game.
that's what i would do, but i'd prob forget because i'd be drunkMaybe Biden just gets beers for everyone he's ever met, just to be sure
I would be stoked if someone remembered to bring me beer 8 years later.
Hell, I will get nude for that beer.
I'm not even sure what you are asking for? You said you weren't sure what the point of the thread is if people that don't agree that this was a good thing will get piled on. Correct? So, what is the point of any Trump thread where he does some shitty thing? I mean, the end result will be that everybody piles on Trump right? And rightfully so in my mind.
I think people are saying that it was likely a staged event, and as such, there's not really much to be said about it. It's empty calories, the thread.

Isn't that discussion? Discussion doesn't have to be argument or opposition. There is a lot of discussion to be had in this thread, and that seems clear because it keeps going. And those that don't agree with the majority opinion can voice their opposition. That doesn't mean they won't get piled on however.

How staged you talking? Like Biden's people went last week to the station and told them what to say OR Biden's people reminded them just moments before? There are degrees here.I think people are saying that it was likely a staged event, and as such, there's not really much to be said about it. It's empty calories, the thread.

Like everything he does??? What are you even asking me? Calling soldiers suckers and losers. Downplaying the virus even knowing it was bad. That's just in the last week. But, according to the argument you are presenting, since we can all agree that's shitty of Trump, there shouldn't even be a thread since therefore there is nothing to discuss since we should agree it's shitty.I mean, what's an example of a shitty thing Trump has done that someone made a thread about? Like, I'm trying to gauge what you mean by "shitty thing"
Namely that someone was like, "this would be a good photo op" and so they got the firefighters involved. Didn't necessarily even give them a script to say, as I'm sure the firefighters likely remember the promise.
I don't avoid people I disagree with.I mean, you can just block me. No one is forcing you to read mild criticisms of Joe Biden.
"He's not Trump" has never, and will never be a reason to treat Biden with kid gloves.
Like, 99% of threads about Trump.I mean, what's an example of a shitty thing Trump has done that someone made a thread about?

What is your argument here?
Nah, not weirdos, just young, inexperienced people who think being edgy makes them look smart. I was like that onceI appreciate that ERA is full of completely out of touch weirdos.

Next thing you are going to say is Santa isn't real. No shit! Whats the point?
Because it is cool. Short of Biden falling flat on his ass there is no way this backfires. It's called low risk high reward. He brought beer to firemen, when's Trump ever done anything like that?yo if it's on the basic ass level of kissing babies, where's your response to the people on the first page calling it "both fucking awesome and brilliant," "an uncanny ability to relate to regular people," "really fucking great"
It appears the problem might be your posts, as I'm not the only person to say the same thing to you about your posts.Unlike your crack eye, where you misread my single-sentence post. I said that it was worrisome that it bothered you that criticism existed, not that one must criticize the thread.
Relax.
Yes, some people here really are insufferable.
Absolutely. In this case, remembering a promise 8 years in the past to front line workers, doesn't come across as just a "photo op" when the actual President is cool with 200k people dying and is calling soldiers suckers and losers but I guess I need to have others tell me what is worthy to have a discussion about.Man we see so much of this argument that we shouldn't speak of Trump because we all agree on something, but less on why the media isn't doin their job and taking bad faith actors to task.

When Biden wins in two months quote me again. I'll buy you a damn beer or anybody else that wants one. Hell yeah. It will be a party that will put 2000 to shame.

edgyI don't know that you understand what 'edgy' actually means.
Where people were talking about how cool it is that Biden is doing this, people similarly talk about it being empty and vapid.
I'm curious why any staffer would know this moment out of the thousands of hours of footage Biden likely has. It seems more likely Biden himself remembered this. Even if it took an anniversary to remember it. But in the end, still a classy move that our current president is in capable of doing.Nice photo op, he has some good staffers who remembered to use this moment.
Absolutely. I kind of wish I didn't drink sometimes, but I will be drinking that night. I'll buy you a coke. November 4th will likely be a day I remember the rest of my life and I want to celebrate it with everybody!
