    Ya think ?
    Maybe a special deep cleaning with bleach, an internal acetone enema of sorts.

    Personally I never thought the response was all that bad, just the - may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of an underdone potato. There's more gravy than of grave about covid- bullshit spin T did fearing any stain on his greatness

    Biden calls Trump's philosophy 'semi-fascism'

    No shit! :oops:

    He's finally calling a spade a "spade".
    Took him damn long enough. Almost made the mistake Obama made for way to long, trying to play nice. :rolleyes:

    Now...is he really going to DO something about it???
    Make it a priority for ALL the depts. and fed entities to look into these SOBs.
    Because. I'll say it again, it's insidious.
    We've got a serious cockroach infestation. :eek:
    That shit is everywhere.

    And I make ya a bet our foreign enemies. especially Russia, are funding much. Fanning the flames, sprinkling the sugar...so the cockroaches can thrive. :mad:
    Gonna havta spray the whole damn thing, sadly.

    And bet ya they're all using masking apps like cryptocurrency, like Bitcoin...and Whatsapp and more to cover their tracks.
    Just like terrorists or spies...or Dark Web. :confused:

    Biden better send out the investigation troops ALL over. Not just DOJ.
    No time to worry...time to ACT.

    Biden officials see a second chance to promote last year's infrastructure law with projects underway - CNNPolitics

    Yes...about damn time.
    Leverage that suckers. We've been waiting for it long enough.
    Spread the wealth and good cheer. Use it to network, make connections, benefit both allies and opposition. Please those for you, and make those in opposition less hostile and skeptical.
    Rebuild our bridges and such.
    And advertise the bejeezus out of it, to gain positive attention.
    Build it and they will come. (to your side) :cool:
    See if ya can gain more approval.

    ‘Whose side are you on?’: Biden slams Republicans who won’t condemn Jan. 6

    EXACTLY! :mad:

    Nice to see Biden find his groove. :cool:

    Loved that he called out Lindsey Graham.
    SOB has been trying to play both sides one way then doing sneak attacks since before Bill Clinton's impeachment. :mad:
    Ironically, he IS actually what he called T when he was originally competing with him. (“race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot”)

    But Big B is right, you can't call yourself the law & order party, IF you're attacking cops in a riot AND attacking the FBI. :rolleyes:

    I would love to see the families of the LEOs who died during, and as a result of, the Jan 06 attack directly confront every Republican HORR and esp the Senators.

    Make them explain their positions.
    Make them give straight answers.
    No spin.
    No dancing.
    No flip-flopping.
    No bullshit.

    OMG! He just did a "The American President" speech. (just like the movie.)
    A JFK, FDR, Lincoln speech.

    IMHO, that has to be one of the best speeches I've ever heard. Real. True.
    Inspirational, even aspirational.

    Excellent speech!!

    I hope President Biden can deliver similar ones to help the Democrats running 2022.

    Poll: Biden now leads Trump by widest margin in 6 months

    'bout fuckin' time. :rolleyes:
    tell ya, the American public is as fickle as a Jr. High freshman. And IMHO, often as gullible. :oops:

    But...something is better than nothing.
    And any leg up that anyone can get to put T in his political gravestone, is a good thing.

    Hopefully the US voter will continue to see the sane choice.
    Because if they're foolish enough to believe this man is worse than T's ultra scam artist megalomaniac ...then we're doomed.
    NO exaggeration. NO bullshit.

    Hopefully Joe Cool can keep cool...and turn up the heat on all the MAGA minions.

    And to show that he's actually a fair player, he's not counting out all the GOP
    Just the T supporters and extremists.

    After Biden's speech some Republican assmouths tried to claim Biden was attacking all voters who voted Republican.

    I clearly heard
    Biden
    specify
    MAGA
    Republicans.

    The problem is that there are 71 million Republicans that voted for the MAGA candidate. They didn't vote third party, they didn't not vote, they didn't write-in someone else. They felt that getting their policy agenda enacted was more important than who or how it was done.

    Biden Urges the World to Stand United Against Russia in Address to U.N. — The Wall Street Journal

    Now THIS is what a real leader does…
    Engage and empower allies and those that is their duty to protect and support.

    To get up there, and make a non-aggrandizing speech, full of facts…and pressuring & convincing other nations to do the ethical thing versus one which has been fully unethical and violated another’s sovereign territory as well as threatening the remainder of the world with commodity manipulation and violence with weapons of mass destruction (nukes, chemical, biological, cluster and so much more)

    Frankly, I wonder in the end, if Russia will lose its permanent place on the security council.

    But either way, Biden is continuing to do what needs to be done.
    Kudos to him.

    Biden pardons all federal offenses of simple marijuana possession in first major steps toward decriminalization | CNN Politics

    I like this move. Clogging our courts, & prisons, with minor reefer possession cases has been a ridiculous problem for decades. Of course Texas will fight this tooth & nail (we only very recently allowed marijuana to be used in medical research).

    I'm going to be interested to see how the GOP reacts on the whole. We already know on the state & local level some Repubs are going to tie their Dem opponents to this "disastrous extreme liberal move."

    Analysis: Biden's chilling 'Armageddon' warning sharpens the stakes with Putin — CNN Politics

    IMHO, I’m glad he’s truly aware of the potential danger
    And is being publicly frank about it.

    1. It gives Putin a upfront note calling him on the risk and consequences (including worrying his insiders AND leak to citizens, adding political pressure)

    2. It tells the citizens what’s REALLY up, without panic

    3. It reassures our allies that we’re on top of it, including their own citizens

    4. It shows our opponents that we are truly willing to use our “guns” including the constant annoyances of China, Pakistan, Iran, North Korea AND terrorists.

    5. It makes our sideways “friends” something to chew on, like Israel, Saudi Arabia, etc..

    6. Make Biden seem stronger and bolder…AND in control. (Not Congress, not Pentagon, not West Wing…HIM )

    The people who are criticizing his words are petty
    Haters are going to hate
    Critics are going to criticize :rolleyes:

    I’m glad there’s an adult in the House…finally. :cool:

    Biden signs executive order on EU-U.S. data privacy agreement

    Now this is huge, bigger than the recent Chip bill.
    This is what the world is about now...data.

    The EU has higher IT privacy and security standards than the US. (Congress is dragging its feet on this...as usual catering to the lobbyists from the marketing firms, Google, FB, etc)
    This affects government entities too...DOJ, NSA, CIA.

    However, since this alleviates the EU concerns, where they were starting to block or dig their heals in, this is a big help financially and big business.
    Capitalism at its best. Actually doing the right thing to allow more international exchange of info and smooth global business.
    Now they can get better from US
    And they can give better, trusting more we're not going to abuse it inappropriately.

    Win-win.
    And this will last longer than a chip bill.

    Congress just has to codify it, make it law...but at least precedent will be set. (less resistance and already going) :cool:
    The lobbyists will have less traction and argument too.

    Biden to review U.S. ties with Saudi Arabia, White House says — The Washington Post

    Do ya blame him???
    MBS has a current pattern of dick moves.

    And you’d wanna review ALL setup by T and his gang, I’m sure there’s doozies galore done by them.

    —-

    BTW, I saw his CNN interview, he looked REALLY good. Strong, confident, articulate…much better than most of us would hold up on a broad variety of topics and drill down details.

    I highly recommend catching it. :)

    Biden world feels relief, and vindication, as election results roll in — POLITICO

    The Biden World???
    How about the rest of the world?
    * or at least, most of it… :rolleyes:

    This gives some breathing room,
    To get some justice
    To address a serious security risk
    To address a constitutional crisis (the fate of the nation?)
    To be able to restrain the GOP
    To get some shit done
    To keep fixing our rep around the world
    To be able to focus more on Russia, China, Iran, North Korea and Pakistan’s bullshit and belligerence (all the Dark Side nuke powers)
    And so on…

    Hopefully, the Senate can assist keeping the House in check.

    But get ready for MORE Benghazi level drama and headline soul sucking BS. :mad:

    Let’s give Biden some cred for dealing with this madness
    (although too little and very late)
    And hope he keeps up the War of Attrition political battle to get Americans and America back on track.

    Feel like I’m in the Airplane movie and they keep saying to Ted Striker, “we’re all pulling for you” :confused:
