Biden prime time speech thread

[zinfamous]

More typical totalitarian garbage peddled by Biden and Democrats. Can't wait for the GOP to take back power so these pieces of garbage can be removed from any significance to society. This applies to a significant number of totalitarian enablers on this board.

mainlining the Tide pods isn't a good look, bro.

At least home pricing will come down when half the country is rounded up. That is a legitimate concern for millennials I think. Problem is, what do we do with those rounded up? Something efficient would be wise. It doesn't really matter, at least those who deserve a home and want a home will be able to have one for almost free (if not free?) If you are holding real estate stocks in your portfolio now might be the time to liquidate.

I thought we were going to use the empty Kmarts and sears for reeducation centers?

In response, Trump said on his Truth Social platform the 79-year-old president is "insane" and suggested he is suffering from "late stage dementia."

Says the baby that has been ranting even more than usually these past few days.

Hell, the popo ain't even rounded up most of the violent insurrectionists who attacked the capitol yet.

Gotta say the usual conservative news sources and deplorables in general complaining about the divisive speech is pretty fucking irritating.

Read what you typed, would the bolder part include you?

 

[MrSquished]

Imagine thinking Biden is like Trump to the point of becoming Trump lite. That shows how far gone when the self called moderates are this nuts

 

[UNCjigga]

btw- was it me or were the broadcast colors = suck?

They really went whole hog on this “Dark Brandon” theme—the red lighting really accentuated it!

I can't imagine how far to the right one would have to be to see a wishy-washy moderate-conservative guy like Biden as some sort of 'totalitarian' extremist. One would have to be an off-the-scale, neo-Nazi, I would say. Or maybe a fanatical Maoist, I suppose, in the other direction.

Did you note the back ground and the lighting? The two Marines? The only thing they missed was putting Biden in a flashy generals uniform with thirty fake medals.
What moron thought this entire display was a good idea? Someone decided that this was the image they wanted to present, someone decided that issuing a straight up challenge to half the nation was a sensible idea.
Everyone involved in this particular piece of theater should be fired.

 

[SMOGZINN]

This speech was not about what you think it is. This was about preparing the nation for an ex-President to be charged with serious crimes.

I know that I've been one of the first people to say that they will never charge Trump, but this speech makes me think that it is about to happen. I would be surprised if by this time next Friday there is not an announcement by the DOJ that they have issued an arrest warrant for Trump.

This speech can easily be seen as Biden was laying down the framework for why it is no longer in the nation's best interest to ignore Trump's crimes any more. That just because it might be seen as political it is essential to the survival of our democracy that no one, not even a President, be above the law.

Presidents have given speeches with military in the backdrop for 30 years now.

I think that is exactly on point.

Let's not get carried away here, man.

There is a perfectly sensible explanation. As you know the Biden administration has been doing outreach work. This includes collabs with influencers and sometimes artists.

Now, think for a moment. What all does artists entail? Shows and movies. What is a super important focus you should try to make inroads with? The next generation, and I don't mean Star Trek.

No, not Paramount whatsoever. I am talking about Disney.

What does Disney have? Star Wars. If you thought it was LucasArts you are wrong.

The video was shot on site of a new Star Wars movie. This was a set for a Palpatine.

Biden isn't getting any younger, it's merely a matter of convenience. He just happened to be in the area coincidentally.

If you're bothered by a speech about how fascists are bad, and democracy is good then you may need to look in the mirror.

Also, I love Dark Brandon memes and how they're pushing it.

Only saw parts, really I’m just saying all who have been silent suddly find their voice about divineness when it’s aimed at them.

I do not know if you noticed, but the GOP just lost the seat for Alaska.

Alaska.

Pretty sure this is not how a red wave starts.

I've no idea, but I like that theory - very much hope it proves correct. Dealing with Trump as an individual isn't going to solve the US's massive structural problems, but it would be a positive sign that the country is prepared to make a start.

Oh gosh, the background and lighting? How awful. Maybe you'd prefer something like this as the background?

I was one of those who always criticized President Obama for refusing to take on those who disrespected his position, his family and his intelligence.

Obama was never weak. Just so high-minded and principled that he refused to lower himself to the depths of his most rancid haters.

This is why I admire Moonbeam’s post: He is saying what I have believed all along – that the Democrats need to stop running away from the cruelty and the nastiness of Trump supporters. They need to turn around and confront them. But not get in the mud with them.

I am please President Joe Biden has done this.

As Michelle Obama always responded in the face of vicious, unreasonable and cruel personal attacks against her, her husband and her children: “When they go low. We go high.”

Obama was one of the best the Democratic Party ever came up with. Who had his eloquence, soaring oratory, easily understood voice, his humor and the ease of comfort when he met with world leaders or factory workers? Obama always smiled. Biden tries to do the same. One thing about Biden, he cares. He displays empathy. It’s a shame his son, Hunter, plays on the edge of carelessness.

What Moonbeam said is what Democrats need to do: Start pushing back against the endless demonization of our character and intent. But intelligently.

Democrats are not trying to protect the uber-rich, the many tax cheats or the mean-spirited.

We Dems believe all have a place in this country. We get it wrong sometimes in our passion to protect the meek and innocent. But we can no longer afford to simply turn tail and run.

Joe Biden once more, went into the breech.

And I’m thankful for that.
