lod001 1,344 Posted July 7, 2024 How about this one. Biden created a US that he himself says is not safe. Take a look a the guy in the background as he makes this statement that Trump will now use in his campaign. BIDEN: "I'd be riding down a street in the vehicle before and see a bunch of kids in the schoolyard waving and I'd stop and get out. Realistically, I can't do that anymore. It's just too dangerous what's going on out there." https://x.com/RNCResearch/status/1810025783337079180 That dude: 'You fockin idiot.' He goes from a smile as the turnip speaks to OMG, fuckin moron.

What’s he’s saying is that there’s too many school shootings because Republicans block his every effort to control guns. I’m afraid the idiot is you.

Strike 5,555 Posted July 8, 2024 Biden did radio interviews with two black radio stations to try to rehab his image after the debate. Turns out his people provided the questions to the interviewers: https://apnews.com/article/biden-black-radio-questions-approval-ff92ebeff33df7ef5a87a59f776c981c Fortunately, one of those radio stations has some ethics and got rid of the host who did the interview.

Something like 80% of the American public want tighter gun control laws; they believe, with reasonable evidence and logic, that such laws will reduce mass shootings. Republicans are beholden to extremist factions within the NRA gun nuts and block it every time. If Biden and the Dems had their way we’d all be a lot safer. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Real timschochet 6,779 Posted July 8, 2024 See the reason, @Strike, you want to preserve states rights is that you know your views on a host of issues are widely unpopular so you want to protect them through legal means rather than attempt to convince the majority of the rightness of your position.

nobody 2,675 Posted July 8, 2024 I had to drop my kid off to school for the 300th time. He waved at me as I was leaving, but I peeled out spewing gravel in his face.

It’s an antiquated system, and the only reason it was put in the Constitution was to protect slavery. There shouldn’t be any states, or electoral college. We can agree to disagree. I see the rights of states to be more important that federal control, far more important. Many framers of the Constitution feared that a strong central government could threaten the freedom of citizens and become tyrannical. They had just won independence from Britain and were determined to avoid creating another government that could enslave them. They admitted that the central government needed power to function. To balance this, the framers compromised by giving the federal government specific responsibilities while delegating other functions to the states. The framers' concerns about a strong central government were reflected in the Articles of Confederation, which intentionally weakened the national Congress and gave most power to state governments. However, some individuals, including Alexander Hamilton, argued that the Articles didn't concentrate enough power in Congress. The role of the federal government should be drastically limited to the fullest possible extent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact that would define my position. I’m not looking to get rid of the Senate, just base it on population. So Vermont and North Dakota regions might have one senator between them. And California would have around 8. You might think that’s unfair but that’s where the people are so it’s totally fair IMO. And it has nothing to do with centralized power.

The Real timschochet 6,779 Posted July 8, 2024 Back to the topic: Biden just wrote a letter to Congress. He’s refusing to quit. Says he owes it to the voters who chose him. Theres an argument for that except that, per polling, Democrats almost overwhelmingly want him gone. This is a crisis. Nobody can force Biden to quit. And if he doesn’t quit he’s going to lose. I will vote for him, hope for the best but realistically I don’t see this changing. And it also may lead to Republicans doing much better in the House and Senate than expected. I’ve never been a huge fan of Joe but IMO, and much to my surprise, I think he’s done a very good job as President. But this may ruin his legacy. It’s hubris on an extreme level. It might be worse than Woodrow Wilson refusing to quit and demanding Congress ratify the Treaty of Versailles without any compromise or discussion. That was the ultimate hubris in our history: one man’s ego and it led directly to the rise of Adolf Hitler and World War II. And now we’re back here again. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shadrap 228 Posted July 8, 2024 I see no way Biden stays in the race. we were lied to by the white house & most of the press for over 2 years. Without a teleprompter & written notes basement Biden is without clothes. I don't think it a coincidence that Putin & Hamas invaded during Biden's term.
