A warning from Biden

[Laniakea]

Sorry, but that's called "false equivalency". Biden simply does not pull off the antics that Trump does persistently.

Still seems to me you're getting your propaganda from the likes of Fox and/or other right-wing sources. And yes, I do watch Fox once a while, but then I have to take a shower using Fels Naphtha and Brillo right after. Fox was created by Murdoch to basically be a propaganda channel.

As for myself, I'm all over the place to get my news.



I wish we had a better choice, but between Trump and Biden, I could never vote for the former. You said you voted twice for Trump, and that says a lot-- unfortunately, because way too often he speaks and threatens innocent others, tried to overthrow an election, cheated many times on even his own family. How is that in any way compatible with the Gospel?

BTW, I would never tell a person whom they should vote for and, as an independent, I have voted for candidates from both parties, sometimes a 3rd party as a protest vote, and sometimes I leave it blank.

You could just vote for the party that keeps trying to take the front runner from the other party off the ballot and put him in jail, and that way people won't have much of a choice, just like in Putin's Russia.

I have stopped reading Fox quite some time ago.

Yes, I voted Trump after the primaries… but not in the primaries. I had to choose the lesser of the two evils.

I have voted for both parties. Can’t say I have voted for an independent on the upper levels of political parties.

So, Trump is a "lesser evil" than Biden? You might want to rethink that after all that Trump has said and done, including recently.

I'm not a Biden fan, although I tend to agree with Lindsey Graham and Meghan McCain that he at least shows compassion towards others. When has Trump EVER done that?

Have a relaxing and thoughtful Lord's Day.

BTW, my oldest granddaughter is leaving for Israel Tuesday to prepare medical kits for the injured, and she'll be there for 2 weeks. My only regret is that I can't be there as well.

I think so.

When he made the most progress for those who have more melanin. Didn’t start a war. I think those are compassionate results

Have a relaxing and thoughtful Lord's Day.

thank you , Metis… my desire is the same for you.

My prayers will be with her!! (i’m sharing that with my wife"

Thanks, and I'll keep you informed as to how it goes.

Prove it.

This was in response to, "Because they still stand by him despite being a corrupt, incompetent, treasonous rapist."


The proof is that they're still standing by him to this day, despite the fact that he's been found liable for sexual abuse and has clearly committed fraud in many different cases, two of which he settled while he was the President (Trump University).

Jury finds Trump liable for sexual abuse, awards accuser $5M

All this happened, and the Republicans still staunchly support him publicly, for the most part (though not so much in private).

 

[SkepticThinker]

Well, allowing young children to be subject to predatory doctors to use frankengender methods to alter their bodies is rather godless. No surprise such practices are advocated where democrats have a majority.

What on earth are you talking about??

 

[SkepticThinker]

He can't and he won't.

I just did. And so did others.

 

[Father Heathen]

He can't and he won't.

I can't prove that, despite his crimes, Trump still has a large number staunch supporters?

 

[averageJOE]

On the other side, it's the Socialist/Marxist threat that's going to destabilize this country.

So maybe it's a question who gets there first.

You can rest assure, contrary to what mainstream media says, that there is no one in any branch of the government fighting for any level of Socialism. Not even the Fraud Squad is fighting for this anymore. They are all hard core capitalists.

Biden warns against Trump reelection after Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a day 'we nearly lost America'

President Joe Biden warned Friday that Donald Trump's efforts to retake the White House in 2024 pose a grave threat to the country, the day before the third anniversary of the violent riot at the U.S. Capitol by then-President Trump’s supporters aiming to keep him in power. Speaking near Valley...

Sounds like Democrats and the media dusted off the 2016 script and made a few tweaks.

 

[averageJOE]

I understand completely… but there is a big difference and wording is very important.

Key Takeaways: Republic vs. Democracy​

• Republics and democracies both provide a political system in which citizens are represented by elected officials who are sworn to protect their interests.
• In a pure democracy, laws are made directly by the voting majority leaving the rights of the minority largely unprotected.
• In a republic, laws are made by representatives chosen by the people and must comply with a constitution that specifically protects the rights of the minority from the will of the majority.
• The United States, while basically a republic, is best described as a “representative democracy.”

The reality is, is that we live in neither. We live in an Oligarchy.

I think we are somewhere in between at this point. It could go either way. I think we are getting close to a dictatorship due to things like these:

The thing is Democrats are trying for a centralized government which consists of the oligarchy, with capitalism being the benefactor of the collective government rather than individuals.

Says the guy who has violated two supreme court rulings and is trying to put his main political rival in jail and taken off the ballots. He is undermining "democracy".

DailyWire is poor quality media. Does their low quality represent your integrity? Can you not do better?

Don’t need to. The report is accurate. Personal viewpoints don’t change the information.

Just a simple click from the site will take you to the application that the organization made and how much money they received.

 

[Colt]

Many former Republicans of note have sounded the warning as to what could happen if Trump is elected, thus voters should take head as our constitutional democracy is at stake.

Yea, we had those fear mongering warnings before when Trump was president the first time! Things were much better under Trump! While I won't vote for him again, the fact is Americans are worse off under this president! The standard of living has tanked! If Biden and the (D)'s really cared about the nation, then he would step aside and concede to a better (D) candidate!

Where's the evidence of Biden being involved in having Trump indicted on 94 counts and being taken off the ballot in multiple states?
Oh right, no where.

It's trash media. If that is what you rely on for "news" then you will won't be taken seriously. There's a reason these trash media businesses exist, and that is to present inaccurate content for right wingers with low standards. It illustrates the poor judgment by so many conservatives these days. This is why Biden has a warning for the USA, the planet, and the future.
