Thank God we don't have to read all those mean tweets though, am I right?

You think he is just sitting there sipping pina coladas? And stop with the dementia crap. And even if he had dementia, I would rather have a president with dementia than one with the laundry list of mental health issues Trump had. And if anyone who claims to be a doctor tries to tell you that Trump was mentally well, please stay far away from that alleged doctor. I love how all of the Trump supporters are having a great time take shots from the cheap seats.

I think that Biden's presidency has been far from perfect (see that - a Democrat who can admit fault with his president - Republicans lost the ability to ever admit fault for anything) but I trust his judgement and that of the people around him a lot more than Trump's. Because I think that Biden is truly trying to act in the best interest of the United States of America, even if he might not be doing so perfectly, while Trump was only acting in the best interest of Donald Trump.
I can't believe we are still having this discussion.
The situation is a shit show. Biden definitely deserves plenty of blame (still waiting for you or any other Republican to admit that your guy ever did something wrong). But the blame goes back to prior administrations as well. Trump. Obama.

No. I will not.
The dude is out to lunch and everyone knows it. What is unfolding is an embarrassment, and it is absolutely Joe's fault.

Having said that, this seems terribly executed and drastically under-planned.
Plenty of blame to go around, starting with Bush-Rumsfeld-Chaney to the present. But this seems to be a major foompah.
Ummm...what makes you think I never criticized Trump?CrazyNotCrazie wrote: ↑August 15th, 2021, 9:29 pmThe situation is a shit show.

There are plenty of other shit shows going on in the world right now. I wish we could focus more on solving them than on pointing fingers and acting holier than thou. But that doesn't drive ratings (on either side).
I also love when all of the armchair politicians get so politically knowledgeable and engaged when something happens where they can point fingers at the opposing side. DuDog posted a great comic on DBR that pretty much sums up our country now. Everyone is an expert. I wish all of these experts could solve all of our other problems.
Please stop referring to "the media" as the enemy. "The media" is not some monolithic entity - that is a huge Trump/Fox News talking point. Yes, CNN has swung almost as far left as Fox News has swung right, but they are not "the media." Fox News thrives on trying to create drama and pointing fingers rather than reporting the news. Then people just repeat what they say. The left does this a fair amount with CNN as well, but there are plenty of elements of the traditional "mainstream media" that does this on occasion but not regularly yet gets lumped in by Fox News and its followers.mattman91 wrote: ↑August 15th, 2021, 9:53 pmUmmm...what makes you think I never criticized Trump?CrazyNotCrazie wrote: ↑August 15th, 2021, 9:29 pmThe situation is a shit show.

Here's the thing, if this were under Trump's watch, the media would be blasting him 24/7 calling him a disgrace. I can't wait to watch the media try to help Biden shift the blame to Trump and run damage control.
I don't claim to be an expert, but I can point out the obvious.
Thank you. Exactly. But unfortunately Mattman needed to get out ahead of that and worry about the politicization of that, how the media would handle it, etc. And there are plenty of Dems doing the same thing - worrying about the spin of it rather than the actual issue at hand. Which is really sad. Even a major pandemic could not bring this country together because no one trusts or likes each other.OPK wrote: ↑August 16th, 2021, 7:27 amBoth parties voted to authorize the war in 2001.
Neither party had a plan on how to win the war, or to even define what a “win” was.
Both parties sat in the White House in the last 20 years and were unable to resolve the war.
Both parties controlled houses of Congress in the last 20 years and were unable to resolve the war.
Whether we pull out now, had pulled out five years ago, or pull out five years from now, it would be the same result — chaos and the fall of the puppet state we propped up.
Both parties own this.
This is not a Democratic failure or a Republican failure. It is an American failure. I don’t take glee in that.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/bidens-job-r ... 00035.htmlAccording to the survey, 49 percent of adults approve of Biden’s overall job performance, while 48 percent disapprove.
They also have to attend 12 hours of some legal education class, which I guess must focus on something that they didn't have in law school. I pity the person that has to lead those sessions.

They will have to pay fines and take legal education classes. I'm sure this will not help convince the people who still think the election was stolen. I'm not losing any sleep over it but I'm still wondering what the basis is for their anger and why they are so convinced that the election was stolen.
