The Biden Presidency

I'm convinced that Biden needs to make democracy reforms a major priority of his Presidency. He has to use his bully pulpit to make the public understand how important this is.

Jesus Christ can the "Oh it doesn't make any difference because Biden is just... *gag* American liberal and not Nordic Socialist Utopia Progressive Liberal" people just... stop.

"Oh Lordy we'll just maybe just have a better chance at protecting Roe Vs Wade, protecting rights for transgender people, maybe stopping the global pandemic, and making getting back on track regarding climate change... yeah it's like nothing has changed at all."

I have no idea who you are talking to.

Still waiting to hear who owns Biden. Whose interests has he served?

Did he disavow the neocons Weapons of Mass Destruction, or vote along with them in the Senate?


How about Kamala, whose interests has she served in her time?

Why don't you tell us the answers? You seem to have all the answers.

You know, I do take some issue with that. To say that something is rotting implies that it was fresh at some point.

What was the pinnacle from which America is now falling? The late 20th century, when the US government was busy overthrowing democracies around the world and installing friendly dictators, while the local populace was having race riots? Before then, when it was outright lynching, Jim Crow and internment camps? Before then, when we were one of the last civilized nations to give up slavery and had a war with ourselves to try to keep it anyway? Before then, when the nation was built on the blood of all the poor saps who were unlucky enough to already be living here at the time?

If you think the ugliness of the last few years is some kind of new development, you're wrong. But just because we've always been kind of a crappy nation doesn't mean it's not worth trying to be better.

"Screw you! I gave up on the US while you were still a twinkle in your father's eye!"

This is certainly a reaction to getting rid of Trump I did not expect.
 
Something like seventy million Americans saw what Trump has been doing and wanted it to continue. Even for true blue patriots, this should not be our proudest moment.
 
I do agree people should put pressure on Biden on Yemen.

Biden has a chance to carry the anti-Trump momentum to its furthest extent. I'm afraid he may not be aggressive enough for it. If he does a decent job with the weight he's carrying for the next four years he could be regarded as one of the greatest. I hope "unity" doesn't mean I'm gonna appoint a bunch of Republicans as Mitch McConnell tries to block me at every turn.

I am talking about stability, not morality, though they certainly are related.

I do know that USA was always quite hypocritical, two-faced nation giving empty platitudes to ideals of democracy and freedom while supporting murderous dictatorships, some of them to today, like Saudi Arabia.

My phrase about rot refers to USA's system falling apart. That's relatively new thing.
 
If Republicans and Trump continue with their effort to destroy the US election system, the first act of the Biden Administration might have to be to ban the GOP as a Terrorist Organization.

This is going to be a difficult thread to keep lively after the first few months of Biden's tenure. Without Biden constantly tweeting, holding rallies and self-aggrandizing press conferences, and continuously inserting himself into the news cycle, actual things to talk about will be much farther between, and we'll have to pad the interim with jokes and references. The Total Landscape of the presidency will have changed.

Surely not in the off seasons? :cool:
 
I do see a LOT of (potentially long) government shutdowns in the next few years. If I were a government employee or otherwise dependant on government funds I'd start to plan for that.
 
Okay, one thing that Trump and his followers believe about much of the media and celebrity world is that they were all against him during his presidency.

They were, and with good reason. The guy was an *******. However, now that Trump has gone, I hope all the late night talking heads and CNN and MSNBC etc... are not going to be cheerleaders for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. It is really cringeworthy to see suck-ups.

Let's face it, they pretty much were suck-ups to Obama for about eight years, and I think that that behaviour is largely what led to the Trump backlash.

The news and the late night "comedians" need to be more savage to all politicians, not display obvious biases.

I've seen some poke fun at Biden, though obviously not as much as Trump. The trouble is, Trump won't leave and allow us to not miss him.

Let's face it, Biden should be very easy to make fun of. When Reagan was president, he was constantly mocked for his apparent senility. I think it won't be hard to do the same for Biden. That said, I expect that such jokes will be met with a disapproving, "That's ageist!" by the majority of the media.
