stuart_75 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 So what's going down in Georgia then? I see some new voter suppression rules are being pushed through. Sad times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other people don't because they will hold his actual policy accountable, not his public performances. To follow up on Fox looking for the next fake controversy (I'm sure Biden will wear a tan suit at some point), they were making a fuss about Harris not saluting soldiers. Unfortunately for them, it has already been debunked Quote Fox News under fire for wrongly saying Kamala Harris broke precedent by not saluting military ‘It would be incorrect for her to salute anyone,’ professor at the US Naval War College says Tom Nichols, a professor at the US Naval War College corrected the report, saying it would be "incorrect" for her to salute and saying the broadcaster “knows this.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_avfc Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I’d also argue that the number of press conferences attended doesn’t really matter if you’re going to spend those press conferences encouraging people to inject themselves with bleach. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might actually be more important than talking about the number of press conferences Biden has had. Republicans are looking to avoid Georgia becoming a Democratic state (to hell with demographics around Atlanta). Trump is endorsing a Republican opponent to run against Raffensperger, the Secretary of State who refused to 'find 11.780 votes'. if you question the reliability of elections, wouldn't it be better to improve on that rather than making it harder to vote? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching through the primaries he was the most likely to beat Trump, too many reasons on the other candidates even if they would’ve better Presidents. This was about beating Trump, Trump having less ammo, and policies weren’t too left of mainstream to alienate undecided voters at the time.

I think also waiting for Jan 6th things to calm down, clearing up Trump mess and getting some normalcy. I think it was wise to delay, all the right had to complain about until recently was Dr Seuss books and days without a press conference. No with the border issues and a few other things creeping up it was time for a press conference but I am surprised there was no covid questions.

Nothing more of a walking mess than some of Trumps pressers from the bleach injection to standing next to Putin to the fine people on both sides to name just a few of many walking messes.

villakram Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Charming happenings in LA, where the wanna be soldier cops were sent in to disperse a homeless camp by force... in the middle of these pandemic lockdown times. I thought Cali had really topped things when they painted socially distanced squares for the homeless in SF a few months back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if Trump has been withheld from the media and had managed his image in the classic politician manner when in office? Would that really have been better? Reagan was a mess in his 2nd term and was similarly hidden from the public. FDR ditto towards the end of his term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 https://www.c-span.org/search/?searchtype=Videos&sort=Newest&personid[]=34 They aren't doing a very good job at hiding him from the public then, 114 videos of him on C-Span for the year 2021 Yes some of them are just him walking to Marine Force One, but plenty of tours, meetings where he is interacting with people etc And i say that as someone who doesn't think he's in particularly great shape to be President Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
