I didn't say he was stupid. He just seems guided by emotions rather than logic.I don’t know about that. He’s got a BA from Yale and a JD from Harvard.
And most impressive of all, he was a member of a Little League World Series team.
Well, to be fair, he has been mostly moderate. I mean on the final infrastructure bill (which was 90% things Rs also wanted during the Trump era) hardly any Conservatives voted for it.I actually had high hopes for Joe. My hopes were based on him being a relatively moderate Senator, and decent VP. His cognitive decline is worse than I thought, and his demeanor isn't anything close to what it was 5 years ago.
I accept that Joe is no longer capable of thinking quickly on his feet. He will undoubtedly be well prepped, just as any POTUS would, and reporters will have to provide their questions in advance.
Cognitive decline? Is it REALLY that poor? Do you REALLY know he doesn't have a handle on what's going on or are you just following the IMMEDIATE narrative put forth by the right wing. Is he what he used to be? I doubt it. But he's still a helluva lot smarter than the majority of us. Stupid people - not saying you - are questioning his cognitive ability. Constantly. People that are obviously lacking intelligence are questioning him...because they are told to.
He thinks fast enough on his feet too. I'm not going to judge him at all for the same things that many presidents have done.

Maybe some of this is that the GOP needs to come back to center right.
You mean Wednesday from 4:00 to 4:05. Could be shorter if Squint Eyes can't read the answer on the teleprompter correctly.It looks like the White House staff will be letting Joe take questions from the press next week. I wonder how much of it will be scripted. Tune in on Wednesday at 4:00 ET.
You want people to spell DeSantis's name correctly (and I agree) yet you want to name call the President?You mean Wednesday from 4:00 to 4:05. Could be shorter if Squint Eyes can't read the answer on the teleprompter correctly.
You bring up good points and like I've said before, I don't agree with everything Biden had done. I think he's misplayed some opportunities. However, infrastructure was the one BIG bi-partisan bill and for the Rs to basically turn that down meant they really had no interest in getting anything done.The infrastructure bill was a win, and should have been a good template.
What else centrist has he put forward to tempt center-right Rebublicans though? The BBB bill was way too big to pull even centrist Republicans, and the election bill is similarly a non-starter.
The Republicans have offered him a win on a more narrow electoral count reform, and he's refused to take it.
I don't see where he's given moderate or centrist Senators anything to take here.
He's fought bipartisan China sanctions that would have easily passed, and just helped kill anti-Putin sanctions that had 54 votes in the Senate.
Let me know if I'm wrong...what has he offered that could pass in a senate with 50 Mitt Romneys?
I'm with you on the premise, I just don't see why he's put his eggs in the baskets he has, from a political perspective.
Obviously, I don't know, but what I believe is that his administration is being dominated by voices that are all or nothing on transformative progressive reform or bust, and ultimately, a Democratic administration that can't deliver those things is no better than a Republican administration. So it's worth trying to get these things even if they are a long shot and a political liability, because they don't really care if Ds get elected if they can only effect marginal change around the edges.

The initial bill included Build Back Better (which was a stupid idea). I'm talking about the final infrastucture bill dipshit. It's literally exactly what Rs supposedly wanted under Trump.BECAUSE the dems insisted on all sorts of BS in the bill that had nothing to do with infrastructure. If it was all about roads and bridges, the bill would have been a done deal.
Umm, you might want to look at the vote total for that bill. The large majority of Rs voted no for it. Like 94%.But they didn't turn that down. They passed it. I don't think there's any political hay to be made in the direction of "Well, yes the Republicans agreed to pass infrastructure, but not by as much as they could have."
If I was Biden I would have said, if you vote FOR the infrastructure bill, I will give you something you all want. I don't know if he did that or not. However, only have ~5% of them vote FOR does not mean I then give them something. It would have to have been a much higher percentage, maybe like 50%.And then Biden gave the moderate Republicans...nothing. And I get it, in the sense that maybe you're afraid you'll make Republicans look more reasonable than you want them to (but seriously...f--- you because that's what most of the voters voted for). BUT if you're not willing to give them something else they can share credit for, why not propose something that might actually hurt Republicans to oppose?
I'm not even passing any judgement on values or like "Biden is a bad president because he wants different things than me." I don't feel that way about Obama...you win some you lose some in elections and you don't always get your team in charge.
But the politcal strategy/game theory part of the way the Biden administration...that's what I don't get,
LOL. So POTUS doesn’t squint? And that’s just an observation-not an expectation.You want people to spell DeSantis's name correctly (and I agree) yet you want to name call the President?
Get consistent with your expectations.
Lots of people squint. Do you go around calling them all that?LOL. So POTUS doesn’t squint? And that’s just an observation-not an expectation.

Where I disagree with Biden's strategy is trying to pass everything through all at once. The Build Back Better plan should be broken down into smaller parts and that way he can at least get some of it passed instead of nothing.

One side has moved significantly the past decade or so, and the Overton Window has been pulled with it much farther to the left. The fact that conservatives don't want to get pulled left with it should be no surprise.Well, to be fair, he has been mostly moderate. I mean on the final infrastructure bill (which was 90% things Rs also wanted during the Trump era) hardly any Conservatives voted for it.

So? Trump had trouble walking up a ramp.Are they the leader of the free world who is just struggling to read what others have composed for him?
Lol.One side has moved significantly the past decade or so, and the Overton Window has been pulled with it much farther to the left. The fact that conservatives don't want to get pulled left with it should be no surprise.
And, for the record, I don't equate Republicans and conservatives. Most politicians at the federal level wear the same jerseys. They may talk a strong talk to placate a vocal (or wealthy) segment of their base, but there is much more between Republicans and Democrats in common than not. The average Republican Senator or member of Congress says one thing but often does the other.
Care to share why you came to that conclusion from my post? Do you find it inaccurate from your viewpoint, or can you just not imagine that someone would see the world from a different perspective than you?Lol.
The Right is so far gone, it's incredible.
I could literally ask you the very same questions. That's my point.Care to share why you came to that conclusion from my post? Do you find it inaccurate from your viewpoint, or can you just not imagine that someone would see the world from a different perspective than you?
I'm not sure you can argue that the Overton Window hasn't moved significantly to the left in the last decade, yet you are telling us that the right needs come "back" to center. Back would imply moving to the right based upon the past decade's societal changes.
I didn't say the left is so far gone and LOL at you.I could literally ask you the very same questions. That's my point.
Yet you didn't even get that very basic point.
Trump stumbled one time on that ramp, IIRC, I agree.So? Trump had trouble walking up a ramp.
DeSantis squint too btw. Maybe you should be a little nicer.
This is fake news from a mouthpiece for Kevin McCarthy..
Which of those points is fake and inaccurate ?This is fake news from a mouthpiece for Kevin McCarthy..
Yes please out with the old and in with the new.So what you're saying is.......someone other than Biden (and Trump) will be President in 2024?
Gotcha.
WTF does that have to do with being able to call someone squinty eyes?De Santis isn't reading from a teleprompter at press conferences, and most of us who live in Florida squint outside because we're in the bright sun. And he's not the current POTUS, is he?
Well the other name I often see applied to him is Vegetable in Chief. Not going there.WTF does that have to do with being able to call someone squinty eyes?
You are weird.
It's not about "what" you called him. It's that you used an insult when you were upset about people misspelling DeSantis's name.Well the other name I often see applied to him is Vegetable in Chief. Not going there.
What I think is “weird” is you getting heated up over what I called him in the first place.
I wasn’t really upset over some spelling mistake - and you are creating something out of nothing. I DO see that.It's not about "what" you called him. It's that you used an insult when you were upset about people misspelling DeSantis's name.
You are being a hypocrite. The fact that you didn't understand it is amazing.
I am pretty chilled and yes, you were clearly upset. Your posting history has shown this time and again.I wasn’t really upset over some spelling mistake - and you are creating something out of nothing. I DO see that.
For heavens sake chill out.
Not the same thing. A poster called DeSantis dumb, but misspelled the name. Pointing out the irony. Calling Biden Squinty Eyes is just name calling. If she had chided him for calling him DeathSantis, and then used Squinty Eyes, you would have a point.It's not about "what" you called him. It's that you used an insult when you were upset about people misspelling DeSantis's name.
You are being a hypocrite. The fact that you didn't understand it is amazing.
No, it's McConnells comm directors opinion.Well that's just like your opinion man.
🙄 oh brother.I am pretty chilled and yes, you were clearly upset. Your posting history has shown this time and again.
