United States Biden administration policies and actions - megathread

Eh I still don't buiy it

I mean there were absolutely powerful people that would have loved to see him dead. If, as I believe, he had dirt that made them want him to stay out of prison, the same dirt would make them very afraid he'd tell people to lighten his sentence once going to prison was inevitable. I'm not emotionally invested in the difference between "they arranged to give him the opportunity to commit suicide" and "they arranged to have him murdered". I just have an opinion about it.

Biden bizarrely ends Connecticut speech with 'God Save the Queen,' sparking uproar: 'Truly incapacitated'

Observers cited Friday how President Biden inexplicably stated 'God Save the Queen' as he closed his remarks at a gun control reform event in West Hartford, Connecticut.

From the article:


As he closed his speech at the National Safer Communities Summit in West Hartford, Biden told the crowd a storm might be approaching the area and that he would be unable to shake hands with all attendees.

He also uttered another iconic line once used toward a student who questioned him about his fourth-place standing in the 2020 Iowa caucuses:

"Is that the truth? Now, do not make a lie – as that scene in the John Wayne movie – don't make me a dog-faced, lying, pony-soldier," Biden said, this time about the reported incoming storm.

"I will stand in front of each section – no, I really mean it -- if you can see the camera they can see you. It is the least consequential part of this whole meeting for you, I promise," he said.

To the confusion of observers, he concluded, "All right. God Save the Queen, man," before looking around to figure out where to walk offstage.




"God save the Queen, Man!" That's my new favorite from him...nevermind the Queen's been dead for a while now.

As I told someone else, I want a three stack serving of pancakes, with two slices of bacon to go with whatever scrambled eggs he's got for brains now.

Yeah …

At this point, you’d have to be a blinkered, partisan idiot to not recognize that Biden’s just not there anymore. Hell, most Democrats have probably picked up on it by now, even if they still hate Trump and DeSantis enough to still reluctantly vote for Biden (or maybe Kamala) again.

 

[Vaermina]

Not to sure Biden has that locked up either. Biden is doing so shittily as president anything is possible at this juncture electorally

He doesn't need it locked, he just needs them to not vote for Trump.

There was a poll

The president reportedly plans to announce his reelection bid next week.

He does. If they stay home and don't vote...that hurts them badly.

Oh, boy, here's a doozie:




I swear, this chick's major means she'd probably be useless without all the make-work jobs the economy's been churning out all day and night lately.

Bidens dimentia aside. Committing to seize 1/3rd of all land and water in the USA is quite anger inducing.

At this point, I can't tell whether he's legit saying the quiet part loud, or if he's just too marble-mouthed to speak coherently enough to get his point across. Technically, I guess both could be true, though even if it were just one or the other, it'd still be a bad look all the same.

The latest in Joe Potato blunders, which get worse and worse every time:




Man, even besides Biden himself being demented as ever, you can tell how Andrew's getting increasingly pissed whenever he drops a new video. Got no shortage of crap to sift through, really!

So? America is not the defender of every other group and nation. If we decide to support both Taiwan and Ukraine it’s our choice, if we support one but not the other it’s our choice, if we choose to support neither it’s our choice. Other nations should take care of themselves they do not deserve or have a right to our protection. I’ve been consistent in this argument both here and in Ukraine threads.

Not wrong.

That said, I think Taiwan is the better choice to defend over Ukraine. If I have to make a choice.

 

[Carrot of Truth]

we are gonna be in for a painful detox. It will likely be a few years till it really hits home for some people.

The worse part is the whole world is currently operating on the same sort of debt based economics. Half expecting governments to just start shooting any individuals who own debt.

No need,if Moscov really have army as shitty as we see.Becouse sending Ukraine old stuff,like USA did so far,would be enough.

But,they are KGB.They could have hidden armies in hidden cities waiting for RIGHT HOUR to take entire Europe.
And,i am not joking here.

But,i undarstandt why you choose Taiwan.Island is more important then Ukraine.

 

[strunkenwhite]

cmon bro. "We remain opposed to any unilateral changes to the status quo by either side" and to the extent that "Taiwan independence" would represent such a change the US does not support it.

"Threw Taiwan under the bus" is a weird way to say "upheld 50 years of US foreign policy precedent".

There's plenty of stuff to criticize the Biden administration for without having to swallow ridiculous lies. Maybe I'm taking a meme too seriously but I had the impression it was hoping for its message to be taken seriously.

 

[Carrot of Truth]

I figure if the US throws Taiwan under the bus then Japan will become a nuclear power shortly afterwards.

Maybe or maybe not.
Nukes are a much more sensitive thing in Japan than Germany because of certain reasons. Look at how the Greens in Germany stopped nuclear power.

The US showing itself to be unreliable means they don't really have a choice in the matter considering their relations and history with China.
