Of Course They’ll Say Biden Won

1. I did not get to watch the debate because I gave up cable/dish for financial reasons but, I did listen, carefully (twice) and, while Biden gave a, sometimes, cringeworthy performance that I recognized as over-prepping (a couple of his answers sounded like he was trying to make every point all at once), Trump was incapable, as usual, of uttering one, true, thing.
   You’ll be surprised to know that the liberals are having a collective panic attack — if you watched anything other than right wing media, you’d know that.
   On the other hand, the MAGAts are crowing at over more than thirty, provable lies that Trump spewed. Including, taking credit for Obama’s medical choice for the military and Biden’s $35 insulin for seniors. In addition, Trump insisted that “everyone” wanted to return abortion to the states, when, in fact, over 60% of the American population wants Roe restored.
   And, seriously, you’re celebrating “I did not have sex with a porn star”? That one’s up there with comparing “hand” size with Little Marco.
   All I know is that Biden didn’t sound as bad as he must have looked, however, he missed opportunity after opportunity to fact-check Trump’s lies — and, there were some whoppers.
   Biden, also, missed the opportunity to follow up on Trump’s claim to have spoken to Putin, since the Ukrainian invasion about the Ukrainian invasion, and his claim that he would have American prisoners in Russia freed before he took office — if Trump can get innocent Americans freed from a Russian gulag, why would he wait to do it?
   Biden rightfully called Trump a liar because he is one and was, apparently, in rare form last night, even taking credit for policies from the George W. Bush administration.
   While Biden got better (yes, I know, a low bar), Trump got more petulant as the night wore on with his usual “I know you are but what am I” routine reminiscent of the fourth grade.
   While I learned that Biden wants to codify Roe, I still don’t know what Trump’s planning to do if/when Congress passes a nationwide ban — or on any other policy other than tax cuts for the rich and multinational corporations.
   Then, there’s Trump’s disgusting claim that “blue” states are executing babies (I heard the president of the Heritage Foundation make the same, categorically, untrue claim): what Trump described is called infanticide and is against the law in every state, territory and possession of the United States.
   Of course, Trump is still insisting he had nothing to do with the events of January 6, 2021 when he had EVERYTHING to do with it and WHY would he need “absolute immunity” when no other president in the history of this union has required it?
   But, at least we weren’t treated to that intellectual quandry, death by shark vs. electrocution.

   1. You can relax a little Page. Your fears are unfounded. It’s called tolerance, it might be time to learn a new feeling besides hate.

      1. It’s Democrats turn to learn a new feeling called tolerance during the second Trump presidency. We’ve been practicing it all along the Biden presidency. Now it’s Democrats turn. You actually think they gonna play nice and be tolerant? They disrupted and nullified our first term with our populist choice. I don’t believe our liberal neighbors can or will be tolerant of our choices.

2. Trump train 2024!

3. Everything is fine. Our country doesn’t have a leadership problem. We’re the greatest nation on Earth. We aren’t about to have a currency and sovereign debt crisis. I wish I still believed any of those things.

4. Now that the corporate news media and the Democrat Party have decided to openly admit that Joe is suffering from the progression of dementia, it is obvious that, finally, we have to recognize that the American people have been lied to all along. MSNBC, CNN, the networks, etc., have bludgeoned our ears with the constant mantra of how “fit,” “sharp,” “on point,” and “at the top of his game, ” Biden is. The only “cheap fakes” we have been seeing have come from Biden’s administration and press propagandists, Karine Jean-Pierre, Joe Scarborough, Rachel Maddow, and all of the other fake news media sources that have cut and covered for Joe Biden since 2019.

   What will be interesting to watch is how the Democrats who are really in power will attempt to dispose of Joe. Surely it would be unthinkable that these self-appointed bastions of democracy would ignore the will of thousands upon thousands of American citizens who have already cast their votes in primaries across the nation. These sanctimonious guardians of democracy would certainly never bend the rules of their own platform and ignore the will of the people and all of the votes that simply will NOT count when they take him out. If they send Joe back to Delaware, they should hope he goes quietly and willingly so they can install some dynamic duo of their own choosing. My, what a situation dripping with irony!

Surely it would be unthinkable that these self-appointed bastions of democracy would ignore the will of thousands upon thousands of American citizens who have already cast their votes for Joe Biden in primaries held across the nation. These sanctimonious guardians of democratic principles would certainly never bend the rules of the DNC and ignore the will of the people and all of the votes that simply will NOT count when they take him out. If Joe is sent back to Delaware, they should hope he goes quietly and willingly so they can install some dynamic duo of their own choosing (not elected by the people–you know, that good old Soviet democracy again). My, what a situation dripping with irony and oozing hypocrisy!

6. Hypocrisy?
   Wow. Do you ever listen to yourselves?
   Tolerance?
   Am I supposed to tolerate the separation of nursing infants from their mothers for the sole purpose of enforcing immigration laws via the most unimaginable cruelty?
   1,000 rounds in eleven minutes with the use of an AR-15 equipped with a bump stock and you call yourselves “pro-life” as you defend to the death their use in our children’s classrooms?
   Never once, in 70 years, have I scanned America’s landscape and thought to myself, “What we need are concentration camps for undocumented immigrants.”
   Do any of you have one inkling of how much of a blow to our economy it would be to suddenly removed 11 to 20 million people from our economic fabric? Do you care? You will when the price of groceries skyrockets AGAIN. Yes, Trump’s immigration policies helped raise the cost of our homegrown produce his first time around, and, between his proposed tariffs and elimination of all undocumented workers, I can only imagine what dystopian landscape of economic hell he has in mind for his second term
   The latest figures from adamantly pro-life Texas shows a significant rise in infant mortality: it turns out that those unviable fetuses are just as unviable when forced to be carried to term, however, at what cost to the mother’s future fertility? But, I’m supposed to call that “pro-life”?
   Speaker Johnson let the truth of their “pro-life” BS slip when he pointed out that it’s an economic issue: where else should they look for the cheap labor force of the future but to force poor women to be their broodmares?
   I emerged from the “barefoot & pregnant” mindset, believe me when I tell you, it’s not a place any woman in her right mind wants to be.
   Y’all are in love with low taxes and, for the middle class and under, I heartily agree. You’re probably still operating under the delusion that Trump’s tax cuts for you are still in existence but, you would be wrong. Your tax cuts expired two years after they began. The cuts for the very rich and multi-national corporations don’t expire until next year — and, they’re desperate to keep them.
   The biggest scam ever perpetuated on the American People is the “trickle down” theory. The con posits that, if their taxes are lower, the rich will spend their money and it will rain down on the poor and middle classes. The irony is that the truth is exactly the opposite:
   With an extraordinarily high tax rate over a certain amount of income, corporations and the rich engaged in that all-American activity of seeking better tax deductions. They invested in their workforce with training, pension plans, healthcare; they reinvested in their companies, retooling, expanding and, most important, research and development for the future. Small businessmen invested in race horses — I remember seeing winner’s circle photos in diners, barbershops, TV repair, etc.. Taxing that money out of their greedy hands is the ONLY way it “trickles down” to us.
   Nowadays, the only employees covered by comprehensive pension and healthcare plans are the highest executives. Rank and file employees are covered by 401K plans to which their employers might contribute a couple percentage points, if they’re lucky, and healthcare plans for which employees are paying the bulk of the premiums.
   Corporate executive compensation used to be 40 – 50 times the lowest paid employees’ salary, today, it’s 400 – 500 times. If the minimum wage kept up with the American worker’s productivity, it would be closer to $25.00 an hour.
   So many things neither party will tell us like the fact that inflation could be cured by raising taxes on the rich but, the Fed Chairman doesn’t have that ability so, they raise interest rates instead, which ruins everybody’s day.
   How enamored are you of quantitative easing? You know, when the Treasury prints and dumps billions of dollars into the economy, making every dollar in our pockets worth less? If not for the money hoarding taking place, due to low taxes on the wealthy, they wouldn’t have to keep printing money to replace it. But the stashing of American dollars in offshore accounts creates the lack of actual cash to circulate.
   Is anyone telling you that?
   Of course not.
   For the record, I quit the Democratic Party in 2016, on the day of the California primary after 44 years of being a proud Democrat because of the party’s finger on the scale for Hillary Clinton. To this day, I still believe Bernie could have won. I’ve no doubt that the RNC’s actions have disenfranchised a significant number of Republicans, as well, and I welcome them all to the ranks of the unaffiliated voter. It’s time for us to start behaving like Americans: in the immortal words of Ken Burns, “There is no ‘them’, there is only us.”
   After Biden’s abysmal performance, Thursday, I heard one independent voter state that he’d still vote for Biden if he was dead. Well, I can go one better: I’d still vote for Joe Biden if he was Dick Cheney.
   Yes, this bona fide, dyed-in-the-wool, tree-hugging liberal would, if Donald Trump were running as a Democrat against Dick Cheney, not only vote for Cheney but, I would actively campaign for him among my liberal friends.
   And, not because I agree with ANYTHING Dick Cheney believes in but because, I know, at the end of four years, we’ll still have a democratic republic. I can’t make that assertion about Donald Trump but, more importantly, neither can you.

7. Look I’m tired of all on this page is bashing beiden a lot of what is going is because of the last administration and now want to blame democrats for you all need to look into yourself and who support a convict felon a twice impeached president and sexal pedofile

8. Page Forth, no one cares buddy, you’re babbling. You make 30 claims or remarks to people’s one. Open your home’s back door and scream into the wilderness.
   Trump banned bump stocks.
   The same immigrants that Trump locked up in cages are still locked up under Biden ya goober.
   Why is Biden still claiming that abortion will become legal if he is elected? How many years did he have under Obama to codify it? They don’t codify it so they can use it against his voters.
   Why is there no ceasefire under Biden? Why is he still giving Israel billions to unalive women and children?
   The ruling class uses illegal immigration as scab labor. They get away with paying them an unlivable wage.
   You and Deidre are like used car salesman for the DNC. I would not be surprised if you were her husband.

9. Seriously? You won’t even sign your own name to your remarks? Your opinions must not mean that much to you — and, even less, to me.
   FYI, the ruling class is using you.
