President Biden thread...

[Irving Cowboy]

Let me expound on this. The entire Republican party isn't the Republican party I grew up with, so naturally the MAGA (whatever that really is) wouldn't fall under that name.

I agree.

What I don’t understand is how any republican not MAGA is labeled a RINO?

I wish not as many. Conservatives have nowhere to go now. It is insane, and I'm afraid not recoverable.

C'mon, Irv. You're smarter than this. There were RINOs long before Trump was ever in politics. Mitt Romney comes to mind.

 

[Plan9Misfit]

Well, he is a liberal so he would never do that and hurt his actual real party.

There is that.

That’s my frustration with Republicans as well. They abandoned their core values and the notion that they were the “Party of Ideas” in favor of an authoritarian megalomaniac. While I’ve never been a Republican - nor will I ever be one because I’m not aligned with all of their ideals - as a Libertarian, I was typically closer in alignment to them than Democrats. Now? I hate both parties equally. They’re both toxic and despicable.

Ok, Irv.

But seriously, you think the Rs are just as authoritarian as the Dems?

I mean, the Rs aren't where any of us would like them, but the party is better now than it was in the McCain or Romney days.

From my perspective, the Democrats and Republicans are just two sides of the same useless coin. They’re both fiscally irresponsible, liberty stripping, big government mongrels.

At least they are getting roasted for it. That ratio is impressive.

Khanna, a frequent Biden surrogate on the campaign trail, suggested that the president stage a rally on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art to evoke the image of Sylvester Stallone running up them in the iconic moment from the movie “Rocky.”

 

[mcnuttz]

Yeah, because he has no problem on steps.

 

[Cotton]

Yeah, because he has no problem on steps.

I thought the same thing.

This is sarcasm right?

No, that dude is actually being serious, believe it or not.

 

[Irving Cowboy]

How can your family encourage you to go on, at 80+ years old, to endure the stresses of being President for another 4 years? He is clearly not the same person that ran 4 years ago, maybe not even 4 months ago.

As someone said earlier... they are drunk on power.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

He's not that different from four years ago. Did you really think Covid was the reason they hid him in the basement?

Did you see the rally he did the day after the debate? He told the story of the dog-faced pony soldier... Same line his addled brain so weirdly and randomly spit out at that woman in 2020.

I agree that he’s not much different. He was already showing strong signs of mental decay then.
