Keeping up with Biden

Post by wtfluff »

I don't have anything to say about Biden, or Yo Mamma, or any politicians. They all seem to be buffoons to me.

That being said:

I was wondering whether it would be acceptable if I established a thread about President Biden so that the more conservative members of the board could talk about how Joe is completely incompetent and can hardly weave two sentences together. And if I do, would a political thread be out of place here, or am I in the right place?

I leave the thread in the competent fingers of the NOM-ites.

Can we talk about rigged primaries here? I much prefer process discussions over personality discussions.

Hey Red Ryder, can we have a process thread?

Here is my tangential connection of this topic to NOM. In the course of my lifetime, I can think of only about 6 conversations with apostles and only once have I met and shook hands with the top guy. That is a lot compared to most people. For most members of the church, it is the process that jacks them all up more than any person that they have issues with.

Also, I voted for Tulsi when she ran against that old bastard. She is awesome.

Perhaps it’s because I’m 7 frames and 2 beers into my 4th game of the night, but I have no idea what you mean by a process thread?

A thread about processes. Like the process of selecting a speaker or the process of selecting or unselecting a sister wife. Or about the process of bowling high.

Don't shoot the messenger.
President Biden Is Too Old to Campaign Hard But Still Able to Govern
That’s in part for reasons Biden refuses to accept: his capacity to do the job. The oldest president in history when he first took the oath, Biden will not be able to govern and campaign in the manner of previous incumbents. He simply does not have the capacity to do it, and his staff doesn’t trust him to even try, as they make clear by blocking him from the press. Biden’s bid will give new meaning to a Rose Garden campaign, and it requires accommodation to that unavoidable fact of life.

None of it really matters. Elections are over in America, for the foreseeable future. We don't even need campaigns at this point. We have replaced that process with ballot-counting and ballot-harvesting contests. Campaigning and governing actually interfere with harvesting and counting so yeah - why bother?

Ya know what cracks me up - when anyone that is even a tiny bit informed on the mormon oligarchy thinks that either leadership structure (Biden/Nelson) is acceptable. But what cracks me up more - when one is viewed as totally normal and the other one not acceptable. LOL. Laughing emoji.

The 3 most important political issues in America... The Debt, The Border & Forever Wars. Everything else is secondary! Joe Biden and Amy Klobuchar are the same person. Black people and minorities are starting to see the scam... Don't let the controlled opposition kill the migration to nationalist populism. It's already begun, I hear it for the first time. Trump is up BIG!
Agree or disagree?

Mayan, you are against Joe Biden yet you are for Trump who was the most dishonest man ever to become President.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

Please support your accusations. Thanks.

I am no longer a registered voter. I dont support counting uniquely unsolicited ballots that were mailed en masse.

Do you mean mail-in ballots? Works well in Utah. I understand Trump doesn't like mail-in ballots because most people vote against him.

Please support your accusations. Thanks.
Fact-checkers have always found a huge number of inaccuracies in everything Trump says. It's like he is a pathological liar. The biggest item in almost all his utterances for the last several years has been dubbed The Big Lie, which is his insistence that he won the last election. If lying was a contest, Trump would be the world champion.

Who does factchecker rank as second most dishonest and where does factchecker rank GW Bush and Biden?

Please support the top ranking as well as the above requesting rankings.

I do not wish to expend the energy to relook news items. If you were to switch news channels you would know these things already.

The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that Trump may not appear on that State's ballot due to his insurrection.

C'mon penguin. I can't see the ranking anywhere. If you have the answer, please share it. If you just made it up like a lot of made up statistics and ranks, that's funny.

Trump blocked from the ballot in Colorado. When a court in another country disqualifies an opposition candidate from running, we say, “That’s not a real democracy.” Now it’s happening here.
Who said that? Any guesses?

You are not registered to vote? I never understand those who argue politics and don't even vote. It's like arguing with someone who states they don't believe in facts. It's weird. Whether you believe in the process or not, it is the process. If you don't participate, you are like the dust speck getting blown around until whatever happens, happens. Then whine about it, or celebrate it, as if you did anything to contribute.

Nah. That’s not all the way factual.

I really enjoy politics and debate. I also like talking about the Red Sox but I dont play baseball or have season tickets at Fenway.

If we ever get back to elections rather than this ballot harvesting contest, I will vote.

Let's all join together to praise Joe Biden for getting the gas prices back down! Poor Joe, he always gets the blame when gas prices go up, so I have to assume he deserves credit when the go down too, right?

Look what these scallywags are up to.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023 ... nsylvania/
Three Republican state lawmakers are drafting legislation to remove President Joe Biden from ballots in Georgia, Arizona, and Pennsylvania, Breitbart News exclusively learned Friday.
I think it would make more sense to remove the ballots from biden than to remove biden from the ballots.

I would be happy if both Trump and Biden were removed. I'd take Bernie over either of them. Being old is not as much of a curse as it used to be.
