Biden Presidency

[GoIrish41]

You're trending in a dark direction. You and I have always been respectful towards one another and despite our political differences, I've always thought well of you. As a friend, take some advice. In recent months you've changed very noticeably, and not for the better. Your posts have become angry, rambling, full of logical, grammatical, and spelling errors (signs of undue frustration and being overwrought) and are bordering on becoming little more than bitter rants. A couple of months ago you crossed the line with some vulgar insults to someone here and had to take some time off. Dial it back. Come back to engaging in reasonable discourse with the rest of us. We can disagree without you losing your cool, ranting, making it personal, and posting nonsense.

Lol…. That’s funny shit.

 

[Polish Leppy 22]

Let’s use your logic ….

Who tried to make stupid stance on liberty because their cult leader let his big mouth put him in a political bind? The right, and million people died because dumbasses on the right refused to follow national public health policy.

Who murdered people in a grocery store and a church because they were black? Or Jews in synagogue because they were Jewish. The right.

Who took children from their parents and out them in internment camps? The right.

Who has worked tirelessly to undermine the media as fake news as a catch-all for believing any lie, no matter how fucking ridiculous and nonsensical? The right.

Who advocated Christian nationalism despite the constitutional separation of church and state. The right.

Who planned a coup from the highest office in our government to overturn the results of a legitimate election? The right.

Who has lost the popular vote for the presidency 5 out of six times and still whines like entitled bitches when they don’t “win@ the electoral college. The right.

Whose elected leaders have advocated violence and pissed their pants every time a suggestion is made that it’s outrageous that there are more guns than people in this country. The right.

Who turned into fan boys when a teen derelict shot people in the street during a peaceful protest? The right.

Who coddled dictators and stole secret documents. The right.

Who is the biggest hypocrite on IE? Leppy and his band of fascist apologists on the right.

Everything Trump got away with was because the right was too fucking cowardly and obtuse to hold him in check, and now you are stuck with a party riddled with the cancer of fascism. If 70% of your party believes Trump was good for the party, 70% of your party supports a fascist … by any definition. 70% of 80 million voters is 56 million fascists.

The party is who their leader is. Your party’s leader is a fucking fascist. And if you support him or that party I’m gonna go ahead and lump you all together like you do the left … so eat a bag of dicks you fascist piece of shit.

So in summary and without diving into each topic one by one, because you didn't bother to address mine...

in your world "fascism" from left is acceptable and "fascism" from the right leads to me being a hypocrite and eating a bag of dicks. Aside from the name calling and deranged insults are you on the bottle, off your meds, or both? Do you need another year long break from IE like you did when Trump won in 2016? You sound like Olbermann, and that isn't healthy bud.

 

[Polish Leppy 22]

Because you can't understand the wide gap in trade value between a basketball player and a convicted arms dealer?

You're twice my age and can't comprehend the difference in value/ danger between a pro basketball player and a world renowned arms dealer. That

And you can’t understand that there isn’t supposed to be a wide gap in trade value between one human being and another, one citizen and another, no matter who they are. It’s literally the point of citizenship.

A world renowned arms dealer and a basketball player are not the same citizen. The fact that you're twice my age and can't comprehend this is staggering. Bless you.

Whoa.

It's very concerning to believe that 70 million Americans are your enemy. People have differing opinions on politics, but it's fully unhealthy to view your fellow citizens in such villainous contempt.

Get outside and talk to conservatives, and I think you'll find that, politics aside, you will actually like many of them.

Don't let the ruling elite control your emotions toward your neighbors.

 

[Polish Leppy 22]

And the thought that you are too much of a dickhead not to ignore the point of every post I make and assign your own condescending meaning instead is beyond tiresome. Grow the fuck up!

Who are you talking to? You didn't reply to a post or tag anyone. Are you spending your free time yelling and cursing at strangers on the internet? Are you okay? Do you need another year long break from IE? You sound like such a fun guy to hang around with in the holiday season lol

C'mon man, seriously. You're angry at people on the Internet, hurling insults and venom at them all because they disagree with you, and having a meltdown over nonsense. Take a deep breath & a step back, and regain some perspective and composure. Cursing at people and hurling silly accusations of "Fascist!" at everyone who disagrees with you is not the way to discuss things.

I didn’t say 70 million people were my enemy. “The party” has utilized misinformation in order to convince people that everyone is their enemy. In order for this to stop, truth has to be the benchmark. After six years of listening to the dipshittery from the clowns in this thread, characterizing a president who brought an American home from a hostile government where she was clearly detained for political reasons, anything but a patriot is fucking absurd. Especially when they spent the last six years mansplaining why the entirety of the rest of the free world looks at their guy and thinks he is anything but a treasonous piece of shit have been caught up in some wildly unAmerican, authoritarian, tendencies that have played out over the past 6 years.

This isn’t just “politics” no more that the night of broken glass or the beer hall putsch was politics. They are provocations. As thousands of white supremacist tied to this MAGA movement take the GOP’s silence as tacit encouragement to treat minorities, and women, like second class citizens, and transgenders, or gays, or Muslims any way they please but human beings as they thump their chest and tell you how stupid you are for leading with empathy instead of greed — compassion instead of self-serving callous policies that hurt people so they can have just a little more for themselves.

I was raised to believe that you stand up to bullies. MAGA is a stain on this country. These white supremacists were let out from under their rock by a sociopath and now they have infected the whole joint. The GOP needs to put the trash out. Take their medicine for a few cycles and purge themselves of that cancer before they stink up the whole block. The fascist need to be exposed to the light whether there is one or one million.

And after 6 years, anyone believes I’m gonna live with that garbage and be silent about it, doesn’t know me very well. Anyone who supports the ‘fuck them we’ll just make it so they never win’ is not a believer in democracy. I am an American and I find it offensive when someone says they want to tear up the Constitution. I’m sick of the crassness, the violence, the dehumanization of people. But most of all, I’m sick of how willfully ignorant people are. The Republican Party in my day publicly and loudly denounced white supremacy, which has been the catalyst to bedevil millions of people in this country since we first murdered or displace a whole race of people and laid claim to a land where we tell refugees they are unwelcome because this is our country or minorities to go back where they came from.

The GOP has been stewing in it for the past six years. It is no longer a party of conservatives and family values it was when I used to be a member of the party. It is the polar opposite now after trending in that direction for decades. But now it is a negative image of what it was. I have nothing against conservatives, or free market capitalists, or belt tightening, or lower taxes, but we’ve let this country shit on its own people for way, way too long, while the hogs eat their fill and decide who gets their scraps. And idiots who refuse to acknowledge what we all see with our eyes don’t have any answers to fix what’s broken in this country unless they open their eyes and look in a mirror. Anyone who supports a fascist for president is a fascist. Especially when it is so obvious what they are to anyone who has been alive for the past six years.

I believed the majority of Republicans are highly likely to re-nominate the guy who send the proud boy’s to execute a coup — thereby suggesting that they do, at least by extension. “associate with Proud boys and support the actions of January 6.” If a coup isn’t show-stopper, then that looks a lot like support to me, especially when over 70% of the party say Trump had a positive affect in the party.

To recap, you failed to disprove or even argue any points I listed, called me names, told me to eat a bag of dicks, and then told me to grow up all in the same day. Sad, angry, and delusional but somewhat entertaining to a degree I guess. I'll take solace knowing I didn't need to call you any names to make my point. Maybe one day when I grow up I'll give people the finger and call them names to show how smart, self righteous and patriotic I am.

Sounds like you need a break, or a couch with a professional.

Part of the plan is similar to a "transit ban" proposed by Stephen Miller, Trump's hard-line immigration adviser, that makes far fewer migrants eligible to claim asylum in the U.S.

Was American teacher left behind in Russian prison camp because he wasn't woke enough for Team Biden?
Opinion by Guy Reschenthaler

11h ago

On December 8, Americans woke up to the news of the Biden administration’s negotiated prisoner swap of WNBA player Brittney Griner for Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout – widely known as the "Merchant of Death."

Anne Fogel, sister of American teacher held in Russia, speaks out on the Bout/Griner prisoner swap: 'Teachers are just as important as basketball players'

At the announcement event, President Joe Biden vowed he had not forgotten about former Marine Paul Whelan, another American being held by the Russians. Biden also claimed he has not given up on the prospect of Whelan eventually being brought home.

But there was another American prisoner’s name that the president failed even to mention: Marc Fogel.

Fogel is a Pittsburgh-area history teacher who lived and worked just outside the congressional district I represent in the U.S. House of Representatives. In August 2021, he was detained at the Sheremetyevo Airport with a small amount of medical marijuana prescribed for his chronic back pain – similar to Griner’s situation. Less than a year later, Fogel was sentenced to 14 years of hard labor in a Russian prison, a sentence usually reserved for large-scale drug smugglers. He has been in custody ever since.

This is where last week’s prison swap should raise eyebrows.

In Griner’s situation, the United States designated her as "wrongfully detained" less than three months after her arrest. For Fogel? He has never been classified as such – despite meeting at least six of the 11 established criteria to be designated as "wrongfully detained" under federal law.

Alongside my congressional colleagues, I have relentlessly advocated for this designation to the State Department and White House – but received limited responses or acknowledgment. Fogel’s case has been effectively stonewalled and disregarded.

When Griner’s situation rose to prominence, Biden spoke with her family in the Oval Office. Conversely, Fogel’s family has struggled even to get a call back from the State Department regarding his arrest and campaign for his release.

This begs the question: Why did a celebrity such as Brittney Griner receive such an urgent and quick designation, but history teacher Marc Fogel is still waiting for his classification 16 months later?

In a day and age where the Biden administration heavily emphasizes race, sexuality and wokeness, it is incredibly worrisome to imagine the White House giving American prisoners held by foreign adversaries preferential treatment if they subscribe to the administration’s preferred ideology.

This scenario in question can’t be overlooked, as time and time again, our nation has seen Biden and Democrats pick winners and losers based on this criteria.

Because of these pressing questions, Congress must investigate the negotiation process that took place to bring Griner home but left Fogel and Whelan in Russia. Swapping only a celebrity basketball player for a widely condemned Russian international arms dealer warrants heavy scrutiny – especially given Fogel and Whelan’s dire situations.

Following this recent swap, the United States is now severely limited at the negotiating table. To my knowledge, we don't have two Merchants of Death sitting around, waiting in our prisons to be traded. Now, the Biden administration is back at square one – with few, if any, high-value assets available to offer Russia in exchange.

This is not only tragic but also infuriating.

If Fogel had garnered the same media attention as Griner, would he have been included in her swap?

If Fogel met the Biden administration’s celebrity status credentials, would he be resting at home with his wife and family?

If Fogel checked one of the lefts’ cherished intersectional boxes, would his name have been uttered out of Biden’s mouth as he celebrated Griner’s release?

These questions must be answered. When Republicans retake the House majority in January, we must investigate the deliberation process and decisions made to secure Griner’s swap without including Fogel and Whelan. Secretary Antony Blinken, Biden, and all other involved parties must preserve their documents for further congressional oversight.

Sadly, this disastrous deal appears to be a failed Biden administration foreign policy decision that was based on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s terms. Additionally, the uneven trade and preferential treatment of Griner also puts minorities and LGBT people at greater risk of wrongful detainment in adversarial nations, as they are seen more valuable to take hostage.

We’ll get to the bottom of this disaster and stop at nothing to bring Fogel and Whelan home. Until we do, I’ll keep advocating for their release – and ensure Marc Fogel’s name will not go unnoticed again.

I don’t think it’s too much of a reach to explain this as a political decision, plain and simple. The Biden Administration would get much more fanfare and media attention for getting Griner back into the US vs. Fogel.

And that is EXACTLY the point I made a few days ago, but 41 denies it. We all know it's 100% true, though. For all of 41's claims that as far as he knows Biden IS trying just as hard to get others home as he did Griner, that's a complete and blatant lie. He traded a terrorist arms dealer for a celebrity because it played well in the leftist press.

Since 41 seems uninterested or unable to explain why his beloved Biden administration put so much effort into securing the release of a woke celebrity, but little or no effort into a school teacher who is charged with virtually the same crime, I guess we'll just have to accept that some pigs are more equal than others.

OK, make sure you're sitting down before reading any futher, but Biden has gotten caught in yet ANOTHER bald-faced lie about something he did or an event in his life. This time it's about his uncle being awarded the Purple Heart in WWII but never receiving it. Earlier today, speaking to a group of verterans, Biden claimed that shortly after being elected as VP in 2008, his dad asked him to rectify the problem, which he did and tried to give it to his uncle, but his uncle said he didn't want it. Well, his dad and uncle had both been dead for years at that point and there's no record of his uncle ever being awarded the Purple Heart. Wow, Joe. Again? This isn't a once or twice event of someone misremembering something from years ago. We all do that. This is just flat out making stories up to make himself look better, and doing it over and over and over.

There are SEVERAL such lies listed in the article below, most of which I'd never even heard of until I read it. This is more than just an old man mixing up events from long ago. This has been going on with him for decades and is a character issue.

Biden claims his uncle Frank won Purple Heart but story doesn’t add up (msn.com)​

Story by Steven Nelson, Caitlin Doornbos • 3h ago​

President Biden claimed Friday that his uncle Frank Biden won the Purple Heart for his actions during the Battle of the Bulge in World War II — but there’s no evidence of the award and key details of the story are chronologically impossible.

The 80-year-old commander-in-chief has a habit of sharing false or embellished personal anecdotes to build a connection with his audiences and told his latest apparent tall tale during largely unscripted remarks to veterans in Delaware.

“My dad, when I got elected vice president [in 2008], he said, ‘Joey, Uncle Frank fought in the Battle of the Bulge.’ He was not feeling very well now — not because of the Battle of the Bulge, but he said, ‘and he won the Purple Heart and he never received it. He never got it. Do you think you could help him get it? We will surprise him,'” the president recalled.

“So I got him the Purple Heart. He had won it in the Battle of the Bulge. And I remember he came over the house and I came out and [my father] said, ‘Present it to him, okay?’ We had the family there,” Biden went on.

Biden spoke extemporaneously during his Friday remarks in Delaware.

“I said, ‘Uncle Frank, you’ve won this and I wanted to —’ and he said, ‘I don’t want the damn thing.’ No, I’m serious, he said, ‘I don’t want it.’ I said, ‘What’s the matter, Uncle Frank? You earned it.’ He said, ‘Yeah, but the others died. The others died. I lived. I don’t want it.'”

Biden told the story apparently to make a point about the humility of veterans, but the known facts indicate it’s not true.

Biden’s father, Joseph R. Biden Sr., died in September 2002 — more than six years before his son was elected vice president. Frank Biden, Joe Sr.’s brother, died in 1999.


Frank Biden died in 1999, making President Biden’s story factually impossible.

The White House did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment. The Defense Department referred questions to the Army — the military branch in which Frank Biden served — but the Army did not immediately respond.

Frank Biden’s tombstone does not identify him as a Purple Heart recipient, nor does his obituary. A registry of Purple Heart winners also doesn’t note anyone by that name receiving the award, which honors soldiers wounded or killed while fighting on behalf of the United States.

The Post’s librarians could not locate prior references to Frank Biden receiving the Purple Heart in the Nexis archive and the Factba.se repository of Joe Biden’s public statements also doesn’t contain prior references.

There’s no record of Frank Biden receiving the Purple Heart.

The tale involving Biden’s uncle is similar to another emotionally impactful but false story told by then-presidential candidate Joe Biden in 2019 — this one involving a Navy captain supposedly refusing to accept a Silver Star for his heroism in Afghanistan. A Washington Post fact check from the time said Biden “jumbled elements of at least three actual events into one story of bravery, compassion, and regret that never happened.”

Biden is the oldest-ever US president and his mental acuity frequently is a matter of public debate — particularly after he asked “Where’s Jackie?” as he searched for the late Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.) in September, despite publicly mourning her death and even calling her family to offer his condolences in August. Multiple times this year, Biden has incorrectly said that his son Beau Biden died in Iraq.

But Biden also has a decades-long habit of stretching the truth and ended his first presidential campaign in 1987 due to a scandal involving plagiarism of speeches and a law school paper.

Then-Senator Biden infamously borrowed British politician Neil Kinnock’s family history — with Biden changing geographic details to falsely claim in speeches that “my ancestors … worked in the coal mines of Northeast Pennsylvania and would come up after 12 hours and play football for four hours.” Unlike Kinnock, who had used the line to describe his own family in Wales, Biden’s ancestors did not mine coal.

Biden also falsely claimed in 1987 that he “graduated with three degrees from college,” was named “the outstanding student in the political science department,” “went to law school on a full academic scholarship — the only one in my class to have a full academic scholarship” and ”ended up in the top half” of his class. None of those claims were true.

Since becoming president, Biden has shared a number of false or embellished stories in an apparent attempt to connect with his audiences.

In January, Biden told students at historically black colleges in Atlanta that he was arrested during civil rights protests — for which there is no evidence.


Since becoming president, Biden has shared a number of embellished stories in an attempt to connect with his audiences.

Biden in September 2021 told Jewish leaders that he remembered “spending time at” and “going to” the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh after the mass murder of 11 people there in 2018. The synagogue said he never visited and the White House later said he was thinking about a 2019 phone call to the synagogue’s rabbi.

Also last September, Biden told an Idaho audience that his “first job offer” came from local lumber and wood products business Boise Cascade. The company said it was news to them and Biden had not previously described an interest in moving to the state.

In May of this year, Biden said at the Naval Academy’s graduation ceremony that he was appointed to the military school in 1965 by the late Sen. J. Caleb Boggs (R-Del.). A search of Boggs’ archives failed to turn up evidence of the appointment.
