USA NEW President

Post Reply New Topic

Before the election for president, I didn’t know nothing about Joe Biden, is he a good guy? I think I saw article when he was Vice President.

he is very likely not as BAD as the previous POTUS. that much can be said so far.

He has no respect for the sanctity of all human life from conception until natural death. On the other hand, he has a great deal of respect for the LGBTQ community.

In Biden, I think, we can see something of FDR. While Roosevelt learned empathy when polio had robbed him of his legs, Biden learned empathy through the unimaginable loss he had experienced in life. Throw in a little LBJ, too, as Biden knows who in the senate to schmooze, and who to threaten, just as Johnson did.

I think so, seems to be...at least a much better guy than Trump.

At least he cares for minorities and wants to help their businesses.

well it is probably the only thing I am at odds with you with, is i think abortion rights are important...I think of course it is most responsible to use contraceptives and avoid unwanted pregnancy. But accidents can happen and if that should be the case does seem better to terminate then before you have a baby. Like I am literally afraid I may not be able to have a healthy pregnancy if I got pregnant, I even have some unknown kind of muscle issue which if I had kids I could pass on a worse version of that to them. Or Idk might be I would have a hard time surviving a pregnancy hard to say because I have some health issues that aren't fully understood. Me and my boyfriend do not intend on having a kid and if I accidently got pregnant we probably would terminate as early as possible.

But yeah I appreciate a lot of your posts, so don't want you to feel this is an attack...its just I disagree on that issue. But I do appreciate and enjoy many of your posts but yeah just with personal feelings and things I just couldn't agree with going through a pregnancy if I accidently got pregnant. Mostly don't want to discourage you posting even if I disagree with some of your posts because you do seem to be a kind and well-meaning person so I still like to see your posts and see what you have to say.

He is only a hair-sniffer, and not a p███y-grabber, so he may not be all bad.

the administration is young yet. don't count your lack of indiscretions until it is over.

Isn't it strange how all the pro-life brigade generally stop caring about the welfare of individuals completely the moment they're born? Quite happy to ignore poverty, homelessness, disease, unemployment, malnutrition, addiction, abuse, discrimination, crime, exploitation etc. etc. but we've got to safeguard God's precious gift of life in the womb. Even if it's the result of incestual rape by a syphilitic crackhead. Hurrah for this miracle! Now hurry up and be born so we can rejoice in ignoring your sufferings in the bitter and twisted world we've created for you.

It's almost as though this is nothing more than hypocritical control freakery over reproductive rights, isn't it?

He didnt fall from the sky on January 20th 2021 like a mysterious space alien.

Boomer American voters like me are quite aware of Biden as a personality from his decades in the Senate, as a candidate in the 08 election, and finally as veep.

Rough around the edges but honest, he can rub you the wrong way one day, and charm you the next.

But I did have an unusual experience . In the late Nineties I delivered papers from my car in the dead of night with only the radio to keep me company -so I would listen to anything. I actually listened to the entire Tripp-Lewinski tapes on the radio (boring as heck- but if you're alone in a car in the dead of night hearing two women talking on the phone for hours about mostly boring normal stuff can be quite comforting). And one night I caught a recording of then Senator Biden speaking at the national press club, in an intimate setting. So it was if I was there meeting him person. He made a great impression that still sticks with me. He was by turns, entertaining and inspiring. And it still sticks with me.

Sadly - his biggest strength at that event- his penchant for story telling- is the thing he is most made fun of now. That embarrassing last year thing about "hard working guys"...and something about body hair- that kinda went nowhere. It turned the election into a question of which of the two(he or Trump) was the more senile. So maybe he is off of his game now. But he has used story telling to great effect. Kinda like Reagan, except that unlike Reagan he never conflated reality with fictional movies.

Especially FDR during the 1944 election (his fourth and final). He was a dying old man, yet the American people still voted for him.

People voted for Roosevelt for the same reason why they voted for Biden: both of them gave America hope. And both were enemies of fascism... at home and abroad.

I would rather have someone going senile in the white house rather than having a nationalist run our country who is a threat to minorities and to our environment. That is what vice presidents are for.

There are times when it is necessary for a woman to get an abortion because she would die if she didn't get it. Of course, there are people who say abortion is okay in that case being equivalent to killing someone in self defense, but not in other cases.

The late, great comedian George Carlin actually had a longer routine on this particular topic:
