creed 1,641 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Not sure if anyone saw Biden’s announcement today but wanted to say he set an example on how a president should act like a president. It was A+ intro in how to conduct the business of the nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Seems politics is the only profession where some people view experience as a bad thing. I happen to think it is a good thing. As are eloquence and dignity. Two days in and so much respect has already been restored to the office and the country. Hopefully four years can get us most of the way back.

Career politicians without a track record of accomplishments, who are only there to vote party line is not a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am contrasting a president who knows how this country is supposed to work against one who clearly- still- doesn't have even a basic grasp on fundamental civics.

And who has no interest in the first place. Civics is about the country. He cares nothing for anything but himself. He's going to remain an embarrassment to the country forever.

Good one...But it's going to be the party that speaks to the middle class and when I say middle class I mean people who have half a brain and know that extremism on either side of the political divide just doesn't get it. Stupid, weird, militant and fiscal irresponsibility is not a good selling point for the working class middle American in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomcat 569 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Sadly the time remaining to Biden’s inauguration will be a complete shat show. The United States could very well be in its most vulnerable position since Pearl Harbor. Absolutely no one in this administration is paying attention to anything other than salving Trumps ego. Firing Esper was purely vindictive, and created a continuity gap in the Department of Defense. trump is due the challenge process. However, he is trying cast doubt on the election.....and to quote a Jerry Jeff Walker song he is, “Piss’n in the Wind”. Look, Trump is a certified narcissist with no resemblance of patriotism. Sadly, no one in the GOP has the fortitude to stand and be counted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
