Biden Press Conference Going Badly

21 Aug 2021 07:03 #11 by homeagain
The M.O. of the Middle East is and always has been "placate and PRETEND to agree....just as TRIBAL
culture is their way of life, so is "covering their intentions, with lies" AND we still do not get it....it is almost
a given that ANY expectation of truth,reliability,TRUE co operation is folly and THAT has been our on going
mistake for decades. The culture (way of governing) is so far removed from our own mindset, and YET
we expect them to change, OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. jmo SO, what us see is what u get
thru decades of destruction.

Especially if you made zero criticism of any of the Republican party's leaders' multiple affairs. Either you hold everyone to the same standard or you show partisan bias and lose all credibility.

Rules for me but not for thee. First of all, the last 4 plus years have been endless name calling of Trump...racist, sexist, Hitler, horrible human being, and to many others for me to remember. Kamala didn't rise to this level of power because of her talent or likability and it certainly wasn't because of her honesty or principles. Look closely at her history sometime and see how she rose in the ranks.

If we as a people want women to rule over us because they are just as capable as men (which they are), we have to start treating them like we treat men. I seem to recall you had no problem assuming or insinuating that Brett Kavanaugh was someone who sexually assaulted a woman based on unverifiable claims of 40 years ago. People on the left called him the worst possible names before they knew the facts. We know how Kamala got to where she is and we know she has NO PRINCIPLES. She does whatever it takes to rise in power, including agreeing to be VP for a man she accused of assaulting women (or at least she believed the women who accused him}.

So I'm sorry if my statement about her offends you, but it's my opinion and I wouldn't make that statement if I didn't know how she got to this point. If we can say whatever we want about men in power but have to be careful about how we talk about women in power, then women will always be seen as just a little bit weaker and a little more fragile.

I understand this would be completely unacceptable to say about anyone on this board, but if we now have to be careful about what we say about politicians, please change the rules and I will gladly follow them.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

From my recollection, the most common name that Trump got called on this site was king, which in itself is hardly a horrible term. He was labeled racist or sexist because of his words and actions. Find me proof that Harris has been cheating on her husband and you are welcome to call her a slut; otherwise, it's simply crass, and indicates a double-standard considering the multiple accusations against many other members of Congress/former White House administrations.

Regarding Kavanaugh, I call BS - you are applying to me what others have said. Please feel free to read what I've written about him, I've even done the search for you; this is the most relevant topic. Show me where I called him names. I spoke of the accusations against him, I didn't call him a drunken assaulting pig, which was what he was accused of being.

I'm not changing the site rules, but I am asking everyone to be better and make this site better. There's no need to call someone a slut who hasn't demonstrated that behavior whatsoever. Facts matter. The truth matters. We should all be striving to share better quality information and being more respectful and kind of/toward others, lord knows there's enough filth on the interwebz that this doesn't need to be yet another sewage pit.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

Ok, so the standard has be set, we now have to not only be careful about how we talk to each other (which I'm fine with), now we have to be careful of how we talk about worthless politicians. got it.

BTW, I'd love to debate you sometime about who is the biggest racist based on words and actions, Trump vs Biden.

Obviously the comments have deflected from the topic of the thread.
I am not sure why SC wrote her 8/21 comment unless she deleted something before it was posted. It is difficult to make sense of her comment otherwise.

However she did ask for proof of Kamala's sleeping to the top.
Start with this citation:
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8623781...or-Willie-Brown.html
"
How 29-year-old Kamala Harris began an affair with powerful San Francisco politician Willie Brown, then 60 and married, who appointed her to two lucrative positions only to dump her after he was voted first black mayor of the city"


Now, back to the topic.
Slo Joe has held additional "press" conferences since the one the topic referenced. Simply watch them.

From my recollection he was called every name in the book and some which are not. Ad nauseum.

I think you are suffering from confirmation bias.

Still wondering what your thoughts are on the topic and hope that if you do it will be pithy and not a 10,000 word salad.

HEY, if it walks like a duck,quacks like a duck,looks like a duck.....THEN, it;s a DUCK. I openly agree,
sociopath (which his own cousin(?)DESCRIBED HIM AS. Sexist,egocentric,duck...(substitute i for the u)
and the description is complete....so BB, U R correct. Now, for equal billing, Biden is a huge disappointment
and probably should have retired. There was an abysmal amount of qualified candidates and those who
COULD have succeeded,the money machine was NOT adequate. We are mired in mud and sinking
deeper into the swamp.JMO

Postponed Biden press conference will go on tonight. Will he admit he is abandoning Americans and our Afghan allies?

SC, congrats on getting your son off to college. I did not see your " substantial post about the sh*tshow that is the ME and our WH."

Could you post the link I must have missed it.
