tell ya what - if, and i mean a BIG IF - a GOPer comes along that is substantially different [less evil and more progressive, not opposed to universal health care] than trumpyflunky, and he works with the democrats, then i will accept him. but i'm tellin' ya there ain't no such bird these days here! the last GOPer who pushed for universal health care was tricky dicky, of all people. his own stoopid venal party shot him down.

Biden seems to want to get himself either fired or impeached for some reason.

It seems the same with Biden. He creates a pipeline crisis, a border crisis, leaving Americans stranded to be murdered in Afghanistan crisis, and still nothing is getting him impeached. He's probably thinking "jeez what do I have to get out of this job, of none of these crises are working?"

But I don't understand why he feels he can't just quit or step down, without the impeachment, or whatever is going through his mind.


Being a poor President isn't an impeachment offence. :mrgreen:

His approval rating has plummeted, compared to other presidents this far into the term of government.
I have little confidence he will be trying for another term. 8)
Anyone want to start a gambling pool? :scratch:


That's true they are not impeachment offences, but he seems to want to screw himself out of being President, or at least just really shame the presidency for some reason. Maybe he has to do something impeachment worthy, but cannot find anything that worthy quite so he has to just embarrass himself so far instead?

Well then why does he keep doing dumb things in the presidency and keep pushing it? What's the motivation if he is not trying to screw himself?

I have done my share of dumb things to and I can understand that with all do respect to others and myself of course, but there is a difference between dumb and not caring about anything and Biden just doesn't seem to care. He doesnt' care about people suffering in the border crisis and doesn't seem to care about leaving people behind to be murdered in Afghanistan. So it seems like it's not much that he is doing dumb things, but more rather he wants to be a bad person for some reason, and is doing it on purpose, but I don't know why.

uncle sam's latest henchman, uncle joe, likely is keeping many secrets which if we're fortunate, we may eventually get to the bottom of sometime in the fullness of time. IOW there may be a ulterior method behind the madness.

Oh Lord, It Seems, Apparently Not Everyone 'Here'
Understands the 'American/Life Political System';

Or Is Even Aware of What is Currently Going on; Yes,

November 5th, A Landmark Day Passing an Infrastructure

Improvement Bill Not Seen of this Magnitude in Generations

With Almost A Guarantee Now that A Bill Will Be Passed for
Close to Two Trillion Dollars That Will Actually Help Folks in

Need and Not
Restricted to
the Trump/
Republican
Corporate
Welfare Way
of Giving Tax
Payer Money Away...

Yes, What This Means is Help For Housing,
Expanded Health Care Benefits for Millions,
Extension of the Subsidies for Obama Care

For 5 Years that Will Surely Help my Sister
to Make Her Way to Medicare Age With
Thousands of Dollars of Benefits This

Way, Along With Elder Care at Home,
Along With Kindergarten For Small
Children, Along With Child Care

Benefits, Along with YES Help in Saving
The Climate Sooner in Greater Balance too;

Yes, No, Perhaps Family Leave Won't Make

It All the Way; Yet Perhaps Yes, Even that Miracle
Might Happen too; Meanwhile, New Jobs Higher than
Expected As Reported, and Unemployment Numbers Going

Down, a New Treatment That actually works For Covid19, And

Many Other Benefits That Come From An Old And Wise Enough

Politician Who Knows That Compromise Takes Effort and Months
of Enduring Never Ending Blood, Sweat, And Tears; True, We Live

in a Very Polarized

Country; Yet There Has

Never Been a Greater Day

For Someone Who Actually

Understands How Government
And 'Politics/Life' Works with 40 Years
of Actual Experience; Perhaps No Slick

Used Car TRuMP Salesman In Oratorial Skills

or The 'Orange Guy' Who Sells You Circus Tickets

to See that Hidden Thing Lurking in the Muck;

Yet Never the Less

When You Make

Things Happen

And Help those Truly

In Need, You Are Truly Appreciated
For Years to Come as those Who Receive Obama
Care Still Praise Those Who Helped add Years to their Life...

Meanwhile, Trump And Cohorts Are Trying Their God Damndest

To Destroy the Very Process That Allows Any of this to Happen at all...

Yes, Democracy;

This REAL Republic NoW

That the Founding Fathers

Understood How Hard it is to
Create and Maintain; Making a List

of Checks and Balances to Insure Our

Boat Has Both Anchors of Conservation

And Sails of Liberal Freedoms to Make it Through

Fair Winds And Following Seas; And Yes to Return
to Anchor Safely In Harbor

When Storms Come too...

Well, Guess What, We've Been Through

A Hell of a Storm For almost Two Years

Now; One Dude Played Politics to Get His way;

The Other One Mastered Politics For 'We The Common
Human Beings' to Finally Get A Piece of Rich American Pie too...

i Don't Have to

Love a Leader

To See When Tough

Decisions Have to Be Made

And Compromise too; He Gets

The Job Ultimately Done Now Through

All the Blood, Sweat, And Tears That Do
Come With The Casualty of Wars That 'Politics/Life' And Democracy

Takes And Makes to Keep A Boat Afloat Working With Anchors And Sails True...

Yes, Like Coming January Mandatory Vaccines or Constant Medical Checks to See if
Employees in Businesses with More than 100 Employees Are Covid-19 Positive...

No!

i Wasn't Expecting
A Quick and Easy

Fix! No! i Wasn't Expecting

Any Roses Without Plenty of

Thorns; This is More than the

Human Condition; This is the Reality

of Nature; Ya Tooth and Claw Your Way Up

or Ya

Fall

Down

And Your

Boat Sinks

With the Rest of Your Crew...

This isn't A Video Game; This is Reality;

Some Days All You Throw is Gutterballs;

Other Nights You Knock All 10 Pins Down and Score 300...

So far 'Biden' is

The 'Winning League'...

At Least for the Rest of His Bowling Team...

OBTW, i Was a Military Bowling Center Manager
For Many Years, And Never Learned to Bowl;

Yet Here's the thing, i Understood what
it took to Resolve Customer Service Issues;

Prized for that Skill Along with the IT Skills
i Learned Through Experience Carrying me through
Many Promotions For Jobs i Wasn't Even Really Qualified

For; Years After that Even Athletic Director of A Military Installation
For my Financial Management And Information Technology Skills

As the Last Kid
Picked on Sports

Teams; Thing is,

You Do What you

Have to Do to Survive or

You Do Not; And Before the
Stress of Doing So Much Stuff
i Was never Really Qualified Took me Down;

i Took A Million Dollars of End of the Year Government
Money That i Could Have Bought One Item or Furnished

A New Gym Fully That Folks Would Enjoy For Many Years to Come...

So i Spent All Hours of that Last Day of the Fiscal Year Arranging

For that to Come True Picking Every Piece of Equipment And Making

That Happen in One Day with the Nautilus Corporation And After 13 Years
Now That Equipment Has Helped me Gain 3 Times the Strength of Most Military

Folks Who Work-out Now at 61 Years

of Age; so Why Not Them; It's all About

Effort And Never Giving Up; It's All About

Effort And Never Giving Up; That Much Biden

is Good at Doing, Come Hell or High Water; That Dude
made a Difference Yesterday for We the People and not Just Him....

Meanwhile, Thousands Upon Thousands of People Have Been Enjoying
That Close to Million Dollars of Equipment That i used my Autistic Super
Power of Laser Focus to Make Good Use of Every Second of that one Day in '07...

It's True,

All it takes

is one day to

Make A Difference;

And That is What Happened
Yesterday That may Change

The Whole Course of American

History Still to come, if We Are That Fortunate
to Keep Our Democracy Whole Enough to Still Exist...

They Are Folks Who Whine; And There Are Folks Who
Keep Their Nose to the Grindstone till CHANGE HAPPENS NOW.

Corporate Taxes Will Also Go Up to a Minimum of 15% of those
Who Were Not Paying Their Fair Share Way of Taxes with the
Next Bill Likely Passing With that Provision in it too; Sadly

The Op Here

Didn't see

The Bigger Picture;

Wanted to 'Do Away'

With Biden, Before the

Old Man Proved Experience
is More Important than 'Glitz'...

Is it Perfect; Don't Fool Yourself;

Nothing Worth Keeping or Doing IS.

Is Change Possible to Improve the way

Things Are; NEVER EVER, IF YOU JUST GIVE UP AND TAKE YOUR TOYS HOME.

THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER NOW; Yet not if We Don't Put One Foot Forward of the Other First...

Yeah, It's True Before i Could Leg Press up to 1520 Pounds Now And Public Dance for 15,642 Months
And Write an EPiC Longest Long Form Poem of 9.8 Million Words in 98 Months; Yes, Before i Came to
This Website on Thanks Giving Day of 2010 And Wrote online 4,000 Consecutive Days Including Today

November 6th, 2021;

i Couldn't Even Muster
The Focus to Make A TV
Dinner Back in 2008; i Couldn't

Even Hardly Stand Up Without Passing Out;

And It's True, There Was A Day in the Pit of Hell
And Numb i Couldn't Even Pull Another Word out of my

Head; Well

There Has

Been 13 Million

Plus Words Now

Starting on this
Wrong Planet on
Thanks Giving Day
2010 Online Now Every Day
Since then; Yes Through Hell

And High Water and Enduring

What the Doctor Assessed as
2 Months of Covid-19 Coughing
Up Blood in the First Part of 2020....

Life isn't Easy; And If You Give Up Life isn't anything at all...

Ya Gotta Keep Pushing Ahead, God Yes, i Whined A whole Lot From Wake to
Sleep for the First two Years with Type Two Trigeminal Neuralgia the Suicide
Disease NO Drug Would Touch; Assessed as the Worst Pain Known to Humankind
And With 18 Other Mostly Stress Associated Disorders Then in Synergy of Life
Threat; Yes, Generally From What is Commonly Understood and Researched

By Scientific Studies
Now as Autism Burnout;
Perhaps the OP Here was

Experiencing Part of What i did then too...

From 11 Years of Chronic to Acute Fight or Flight
Stress At Work Leading to my Downfall in 2008...

Sure, i Hated the World then too; i couldn't give up
Those Golden Handcuffs of Federal Employment, So
Close to Life Long Benefits Then to Keep Health Care for

my Wife Who Couldn't Otherwise Be Affordably Insured then

With Her Partial Complex Epilepsy Disorder; i Surely Felt Greater
That Because of Obama And yes Nancy Pelosi Then too; They Made
The Political Sacrifice For 'We the People' Then my Sister Was Headed
Down the Same Path With Asperger's Syndrome in Decades of Stress at Work too...

Obama and Pelosi
And Associates

May Have even

Saved Her Life

With Obama care;

And Indeed Biden And

Pelosi May Extend Her Health Care
Benefits until Medicare Age Indeed...

We Are Human Beings; We Aren't Money

or Things; When We Do Stuff That Helps

Our Well Being Overall as a Team We Survive And Even Thrive;

Yet Again, When We Give Up And Only Whine; We Do Nothing at all...

Life Lesson

For me at
Least and the

Others in this
Life Who Fall Down

Now Or Get Knocked

Down And Get Back Up;

Like Writing on this Internet
Site a Place i wasn't Welcome
As Soon as i Recovered to Pursue

All my Human Potential; i Had already
Stood Through Hell; Ha! Do Ya really
Think Standing Up Now in Heaven is Hard

No Matter

What No;

Matter

What Everything

Over Hell is Icing Now...

Just Don't Give UP; Just Don't Give UP

For When We All Do; We Surely All Lose too...

But if he's losing it, isn't there some sort of procedure where they can remove a President from office if the President has become mentally incapacitated, if that's the case?

If they couldn't remove the last guy as mentally unfit and didn't remove senile Reagan they're unlikely to remove senile Joe.

But why can't they, or what's stopping them? Why are they so afraid to invoke something like that?
