I like Joe, but he is getting old. I hope he makes it the rest of his term, he looks fine, and his messages are delivered fine, but we need new blood all over. I don't know what dem I would back right now. But if trump were in Ukraine and NATO would be lost, heaven only knows what putin would do. It would be worse then now, I admire Joe for helping those folks and supporting NATO.
Till McConnell is gotten rid of nothing will happen in congress, that old goat needs to go, he is the cause of losing all we are in the supreme court. We should have been allowed to put in another justice to keep the balance. But they don't want balance, just my way or the highway. Now look what a mess we have and the fact that women are going to lose all our rights, I'm sickened.
Not much can be done about inflation, its' worldwide. With Ukraine and letting low interest rates go so long, that caused problems. trumps tariffs aggravated the shortages during covid, and seems just everything that could go wrong did. And Joe walked into that mess.
I hate to say it but right now Liz Cheney seems to embody more of the American ideals then any repub candidate and I don't know who I would back for dem. Kamala is ok, but just ok, she might do great if she had to step up, but I just don't know.
Joe is doing well, he inherited a lot of real problems. So much he just cannot change no matter how hard he tries. Manchin is no dem as far as I am concerned, he has not helped with anything. We need real democrats, not people like him.
I am thankful we have Joe Biden right now, without him it would be even worse. I fear we are heading for a dictatorship, but he has staved it off awhile longer. I can only hope people wake up and vote blue. Though whether we can vote or if they will be counted, or the repub legislators decide our elections for us is to be seen. Very bad future coming I fear.

I think it's kind of cute the author of this thread ever thought there was a Biden cult. But the thread author only began this thread because someone else had begun the trump cult thread.
The election was an 'Anyone But trump' election. trump's comments and actions before during and after the election indicate trump was and is a loser and his followers believe every word he says no matter what lies he tells them. Now that's a cult!

Ho Hum......... Biden hit a new all time low. Read the poll people, rather than making inaccurate accusations. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/documents/monmouthpoll_us_070522.pdf/ www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/monmouthpoll_us_070522/Unfortunately I think this is the bottom of his low ratings. He has nowhere to go but up from here On the plus side, Hollywood backers are bailing from him these days, and lots of democrat politicians are complaining publicly to media on MSNBC and CNN, but do not attach their names to their comments yet. It's coming. After the fall election, Biden will announce he will not be running in 2024. His handlers have not told him that just yet. Noticed the democrat Senator from Ohio did not show up yesterday for Biden's hilarious appearance in the Buckeye state yesterday.

Still got nothing to say about your heroes seditious January 6 activies though. It is all about approval ratings and Fox News TV ratings for you.

Here is an accurate accusation: you are a MAGA head that finds nothing at all wrong with Trump attempting a coup d’etat to overturn a legitimate election and usurp our democracy. The smoke you blow about Biden and cable ratings is meaningless coming from such an individual as yourself. If this isn’t accurate then say something. If you don’t, it is.

Noticed the democrat Senator from Ohio did not show up yesterday for Biden's hilarious appearance in the Buckeye state yesterday. Liz Cheney is even more of a man than our known and unknown Republican 'men'. Liz Cheney Wins the GOP’s Manhood ContestJosh Hawley says real men value courage. Not many in Trump’s party clear the bar. America, many conservatives believe, is facing a masculinity crisis. The general drift of modern culture, the argument goes, has merged with the anti-patriarchal agenda of the radical left to create a climate in which boys and men are made to feel that there is something inherently suspect or even shameful about their sex. Little wonder, asserted Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri in a widely publicized address last year, that many men have lost their self-confidence and no longer represent “the traditional masculine virtues — things like courage, and independence and assertiveness.” Hawley’s speech did not take note of how thoroughly masculine virtues, under this definition, have been diluted within his own Republican Party during the Trump era. Nor did he cite the figure who is the most vivid counterexample. The person who is the most credible answer to the GOP’s manhood problem is a woman: Liz Cheney. Wyoming’s lone congresswoman is widely loathed by acolytes of Donald Trump. Certainly Hawley has not sought to join her in confronting the former president or demanding accountability for the ways his claims of election fraud led to the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. But it would be hard to argue that Cheney does not represent “courage, and independence and assertiveness.” Many people will be uncomfortable viewing these admirable qualities through the prism of gender. Standing firm on principle, and doing the right thing even when there may be a high cost to doing so, are qualities anyone should aspire to — no matter whether they are male, female or reject binary gender categories altogether. The important point, however, is that many conservatives are comfortable linking gender and personal traits like toughness. Liz Cheney is plainly one of those conservatives. Recall her rejoinder to Sen. Ted Cruz, after the Texan accused Cheney last year of suffering from “Trump derangement syndrome.” Cheney mocked Cruz for groveling toward Trump even though he has in the past attacked Cruz’s own family members. “Trump broke Ted Cruz,” Cheney told CNN. “A real man would be defending his wife, and his father, and the Constitution.” Recall also a Cheney aide’s taunt of Rep. Matt Gaetz, a camera-loving Trump warrior, who traveled to Wyoming to urge voters to reject Cheney and demand her resignation: “Gaetz can leave his beauty bag at home. In Wyoming, the men don’t wear make-up.” As it happens, an instinct to sneer at the failed manhood of fellow politicians is one place where Cheney and Trump are aligned. In the recent book This Will Not Pass, authors Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns reveal that Trump in the closing days of his presidency began calling House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy “a ” because he perceived that he was not backing him with insufficient fervor. McCarthy, who for a moment had seemed ready to break with Trump over the Jan. 6 riot, quickly fell back in line, “more or less setting out to prove [Trump] right.” All this points the mind back to Hawley’s speech last fall to the National Conservativism Conference. It reads as if he flirted for a while about making a serious comment on the state of modern culture and then decided that was too much trouble for too few rewards. He eschewed precision in favor of bombast: “The left is telling America and its men, you’re evil. You’re terrible. You must apologize and submit to your government masters to be reformed.” And his logic was murky: Even if he can find some campus leftists who believe “it seems logical to hate men,” why are they principally to blame for the fact that many men, in Hawley’s telling, refuse to get off drugs and off the couch? But just because parts of Hawley’s speech were frivolous does not mean all of his argument was. The virtues of self-restraint, self-sufficiency and, above all, meeting the responsibilities of parenthood belong to both sexes. But it is reasonable to believe that the failures to live by these ideals are more common among men, and the societal consequences more severe. It is a reasonable assertion also that individuals make choices based on the examples they observe — whether fictitious examples from classic stories or real examples in the news. American entertainment has produced many classic male archetypes. There are laconic tough guys like Clint Eastwood (“Do you feel lucky, punk?”). There are self-effacing characters like Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird, who reveal their true mettle when tested by extraordinary circumstances. There is the brooding, too-sensitive-for-this-world type like the characters played by James Dean. There is the cocky self-dramatist like Tom Cruise in his Top Gun incarnations. But all these diverse types have one trait in common: a willingness to defy convention, and stand up to a crowd and refuse to go with the flow when faced with a core question of right vs. wrong. Some questions for Hawley the next time he tackles the masculinity crisis: Who among current American political figures (no easy out by naming Volodymyr Zelenskyy) best represents these virtues? And explain the ways Donald Trump meets your standard of “traditional male virtues” and where he falls short? Meanwhile, Cheney has slightly complicated her bid as the GOP’s most traditionally masculine figure. In a speech the other day at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, she said she “came to this choice” to stand up to Trump above all “as a mother,” and portrayed her willingness to risk her political future by standing up to leaders of her party as a triumph of traditional feminine virtues. In the modern Republican Party, perhaps Cheney is the equivalent of a single parent — she needs to be mother and father for the sake of the kids. Or perhaps when it comes to the obligations of public life, virtue is a perfectly good noun without any adjective — not masculine or feminine. Liz Cheney Wins the GOP’s Manhood Contest

It is all about approval ratings and Fox News TV ratings for you. that is because the GOP has nothing but failure to offer the American people. NOTHING...BUT....FAILURE. in case you missed that..... NOTHING....BUT....FAILURE. pointing out the foibles of Biden is the only thing they have to offer, overlooking the CATASTROPHE that they not only ran for president, but supported for the last SIX YEARS.

You are not seriously claiming you care if a politician stretched the truth now? Trump tells the truth by accident.
Again every single thing you raise is nonsense. You still refuse to denounce treason, so being bothered by any of this nonsense is ridiculous

He got knocked out of running for the Presidency in 1981 for released University documents showing he was flunked a law class for not listing sources and using the words as his won.

Maybe he needs to repeat: MAN WOMAN PERSON CAMERA TV a few times, will that make you feel better? Anyway, I thought you had stated a while back he'd be out by the end of 2021 and Harris would be installed. What happened there? And your last sentence about believing in following the Constitution. Sorry, you've been ask several times about your thoughts on Trump trying to overturn the election, so all I can do is Your party is a joke...do what is necessary to save the country my ass!

re-installing Trump in a second coup would be an utter disaster for the US. surely anyone can see that.

Scarier by far. But then Trump was never a scholar of anything other than the art of grifting his cult members. Trump blames 'airports' gaffe on teleprompter
US President Donald Trump has blamed a teleprompter going "kaput" for a glaring anachronism in his Independence Day speech. He told crowds on 4 July the Continental Army "took over the airports" during the American Revolutionary War in the 1770s. Observers quickly pointed out there was no air travel in 18th Century America. Explaining away the slip-up on Friday, Mr Trump also said it was hard to read the teleprompter in the rain. During his "Salute to America" speech at the Lincoln Memorial on Thursday, he was talking about the year 1775 when he said: " Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do."Critics pointed out the rebels could not have seized airports more than a century before the first powered flight - credited to the Wright brothers in 1903 - took off.
