Also LOL @ John Cornyn saying he was kickstarting his political campaign. Crying about politicizing something like this is the last refuge when you have no excuses left.
And you can keep asking. People love spreading the fear-mongering hyperbole here and it's extremely overwhelming.But, but, I though Biden was senile?
I asked a similar question to a similar point in another thread earlier:
Please give us an example of Trump doing something even remotely on the same scale as staging a coup/effectively abolishing the Presidency as a recognisable institution.
It is ridiculous that we are this far into these protests and riots and Biden is the first serious politician actually calling out changes like banning chokeholds. Its good that the House is working on a bill about QI also, but why the fuck haven't more mayors and governors been saying the same very basic steps?
All this comes out of his mouth after his boy had the fucking park gassed just so he could take a picture with a book he don't read.

I wish I could say that hate began with Donald Trump and would end with him. It didn't and it won't. American history isn't a fairy tale with a guaranteed happy ending. The battle for the soul of this nation has been a constant push and pull for more than 240 years.
I don't wanna hear a goddamn thing more about sitting out this November. Biden isn't perfect...but he sure as hell is better than the alternative.
Yeah, it's outrageous. It's something I brought up a day or two ago. They could quell a lot of fury (not all, of course) by simply doing something. The "Well what are the protesters' demands? What do they want? They're just rioting!" rhetoric started getting trotted out, and a) it is abundantly clear what people want, and b) it's probably not 'jack shit'.It is ridiculous that we are this far into these protests and riots and Biden is the first serious politician actually calling out changes like banning chokeholds.

I ended up putting that quote in the OP, for those who may be too busy to watch the whole thing, they should at least read one of the more important quotes from it IMO.I am glad to see this kind of honesty. It is on Joe Biden, his cabinet, and voters to make sure his is the most consequential presidency in the history of the United States. Anything less will be catastrophic for both the US and the world.
come on people. This equivocation and cherry picking just has to stop.
A few months ago, everyone would have said it was fearmongering hyperbole to claim that Trump would steal PPE and supplies during a pandemic to maximize casualties in blue states, or that he would mobilize active duty troops to brutalize citizens in resposne to peaceful protests. It's all fearmongering hyperbole until it happens, and it's been happening over and over. Nothing is beyond the pale.And you can keep asking. People love spreading the fear-mongering hyperbole here and it's extremely overwhelming.
Biden wasn't my first choice or my second or even my fourth, but goddamn I miss hearing what an actual statesman sounds like.
My thoughts almost to the letter. Literally brought tears to my eyes.Right? Same boat in terms of choices. But damn if hearing someone being an adult wasn't intoxicating.
I got you.
Don't get me wrong, it's totally better than Trump and all, but I'd advise not to jump into the savior train just because he's saying what he's saying. Kennedy also gassed Vietnam oppositors, don't lower your own bar just because "he's not trump"
Honestly, gaffs aside (which he's done his whole political career), he never has sounded senile...people have picked 10 second sound bites and examples of his stuttering to try and push people to believe he's not fit to be president.
I really do hope that the current civil unrest and protests have not enhanced Trump's numbers going into election. I need to see polls.
And yes, I'm aware that he is not president right now, and that this is just talk for the moment, but it's sure as hell better than what we're getting from the White House right now..
I don't trust Biden to do much of anything, however the people that I do trust will have much easier lives when Biden is President.I don't trust Biden to overhaul policing in this country, any more than I trust him to overhaul healthcare. But I trust him more than Trump to ultimately sign off on something if activists manage to demand that congress ultimately puts legislation together, and perhaps more importantly I believe he will not cut funding or otherwise enact retribution against local governments that take actions on their own
Takes like this are just the fucking worst...
People are happy to see some semblance of normalcy. They see Biden as a savior from Trump, but who the fuck think he is going to solve all of America's problems and be perfect? He said so himself he wouldnt be able to do that!
His current time frame, I remember reading, was by August 1st. I believe that checks are still being performed so I don't think he would jump the gun right now for this as it's more a security matter than cheap political point scoring. What he could do would be to mention a bunch of white women who aren't likely to be getting the spot at least, assuming the Klob and Whitmer are out of the running, for example.
Don't put it so nicely.the grotesque human being currently inhabiting the Oval Office
No that was just Bernie fan nonsense as can still be seen on Twitter.
And you can keep asking. People love spreading the fear-mongering hyperbole here and it's extremely overwhelming.
He's saying that "we need to separate the peaceful from the violent", he is 1- dismissing the violence as if it wasn't part of the protest, and 2- implying the democrats wouldn't gas peaceful protesters if it was against them. How easy is to fall for a politician, for god's sake. Like I get it and I support the idea of voting him since it is totally better than Trump, but the words he's saying are because it's in HIS best interest and because protests aren't against HIM.
