Economy starting to really hum. Productivity gains, job openings and some real wage growth all taking place. Inflation not a problem. Brilliant stewardship by Biden and his team. All comes down to the reopenings due to the vaccine rollout.

But that's a red line for me.

That's absolutely inexcusably and seeing as they've abandoned the constitution on everything else, Biden can literally stop it.

What's your solution when US forces are attacked? Do nothing?

And these were, to my knowledge, clean military targets, weapon and drone/drone-control facilities, and they were targeted because they launched attacks from those locations.

Biden complied with AUMF and the War Powers act.

The latest airstrikes were on facilities used by Iranian backed militia that conducted drone strikes on American forces on Iraq. What do you think Biden should have done?

Attacked wherever they are. If you want to argue the location matters make the argument. I don't see how it does.

The United States has zero business in Iraq (or Syria).

How many innocent people were “massacred” in these strikes?

I absolutely agree that bombing foreign countries is bad, but not all air strikes are equal

All air strikes are equal? I completely disagree.

There is a world of difference between striking a remote military target with smart bombs and dropping munitions randomly on a civilian area.

Obviously both are wrong, but they are not equal.

Making non scandals out of lone man's paranoid delusion.

Speaking of whom: why isn't Fox News reporting one lone word about Tucker Carlson's spontaneous claim that the NSA is spying on him? https://www.mediaite.com/tv/tucker-carlson-alleged-a-massive-scandal-why-isnt-fox-news-covering-it/

https://twitter.com/NSAGov/status/1410025399032193027?s=20

Unless Tucker Carlson is tacitly outing himself as an unregistered foreign agent, then, there doesn't seem any reason for which he would have the NSA spying on him. At worst he is as spied on as the rest of us, through the same style of programs Snowden revealed, such as when you would use gmail cloud storage, if that data was duplicated to servers overseas, it was subject to some degree of foreign surveillance, usually metadata (from, to, IP, time, size). Conceivably, Tucker could have started using his personal phone number to call Vladimir Putin at his desk or something, then, yes, he'd jump to the top of the NSA radar. So either Tucker is up to some shady overseas **** along with Rudy and co. that he has suddenly become extremely anxious about, or he did some stunt to trigger a systemic yellow flag on some NSA system, like communicating with foreign government agents, for the sake of saying 'the NSA is spying on me' which would be like saying the police are spying on you when they pulled you over for speeding.

Of course nothing stands in the way of Tucker Carlson suing the government if he really thinks all this, but that's not the point. It's to generate noise because otherwise there is nothing else to detract from the remarkably norm presidency underway.

More likely is that Tucker has been caught doing something really really shady and that story is about to break so he is flooding the field with Sh!t to try to provide himself cover.

He has form for this in the past.

If he had claimed that the FBI were doing the surveillance it would have been more believable, but stupid is as stupid does.

Most of the images posted are from articles from last year or earlier. Doesn’t seem like it’s changed anything. Also it being the New York Post, weren’t they recently found reporting falsehoods about the Biden administration handing out Kamala Harris’ book to migrant detainees?

There’s no actual evidence in this tweet that Biden did anything wrong, just a quote without context or a time and date and a series of images of headlines from a newspaper with very mixed accuracy on factual reporting that tends to endorse Republican candidates, including Donald Trump.

https://www.mediaite.com/politics/desantis-hails-very-supportive-biden-in-wake-of-building-collapse-you-recognized-the-severity-of-this-tragedy-from-day-one/



Ron DeSantis sings Joe Biden's praises. “You recognized the severity of this tragedy from day one, and you’ve been very supportive.” Biden apparently promised there would be no 'bureaucracy' when dealing with FEMA and he agreed Biden had delivered on that. Regarding the condominium collapse on the beach.

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) hailed President Joe Biden during a briefing on the building collapse in Surfside, Florida — acknowledging the president’s support in the wake of the tragedy.

“You know what’s good about this? The way you’re cooperating. We’re letting the nation know we can cooperate,” Biden said to the room after Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava (D) praised DeSantis’ response to the collapse.

“I want to thank you, Governor DeSantis, your team has been amazing, but you personally have been amazing,” Cava said. “You’ve been a steady, calming, reassuring but forceful voice every second of the way.”

Biden cut in before DeSantis could respond, noting the importance of bipartisanship and proving to the nation that leaders can look past political differences when “it’s really important.”

“This is life and death. I just got back from 12 days in Europe, they wonder whether we can do this,” Biden added. “And we’re doing it.”

DeSantis later thanked the president, adding, “You recognized the severity of this tragedy from day one, and you’ve been very supportive.”

The governor went on to honor those who either died due to the collapse, or who are still missing one week later.

“The corporation has been great. The local — both the municipal and the county — have been fantastic, and you guys have not only been supportive on the federal level, but we’ve had no bureaucracy,” he said. “When we’re dealing with FEMA, we’re literally getting requests routed from local to state to federal in no time.”

Biden then added, “I promised you there would be none,” which DeSantis confirmed with a “Yeah.”

More from the DeSantis presser: POTUS has signaled he wants the feds to cover 100% of the disaster relief through at least the first 30 days of the search and recovery.

“I want to pick up 100% of the cost from the county and the state over the first 30 days. I think I’m quite sure I can do that.”

Well there goes any chance DeSantis had of getting Trump's endorsement. He won't forgive such treachery.

How would they handle living in a country like Canada with all it's socialist ideas around the likes of healthcare etc if they can't survive the Biden administration?

Shocked that's there no sign of whomadegod, would have thought he'd have been the first person in here to congratulate Biden on the solid jobs numbers seeing that's he so quick to criticise when they're "disappointing". Ah well, maybe he'll drop by tomorrow :pac:

Speaking of solid numbers, the WH seems to be trolling the GOP in response to their frantic attempts to blame biden for inflation.

https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/1410709115333234691?s=20

Probably a bit of cherry picking/texas sharpshooting here of course. There's no baked potatoes or corn on the cob at this BBQ, or buns. Or hot dogs, or pie, or the proverbial or real cherry. They don't even mention that side salad. Down $0.16 as in 16% is presumable but unclear and potentially misleading. Still the thrust of the claim is that food prices are not inflating out of control, in contradiction to critics. But it's so narrow a scope: The Cost of a 4th of July Cookout in 2021. Chef's kiss, this is good bull****, really owning the libs redhats with this one.

Hande hoche!

It's the fourth of July, should you not be thinking more Red coats than red hats?

osarusan

Pretty silly tweet in my opinion. No need to get into a stupid trolling battle with anybody, and a $0.16 saving is hardly significant.

At best, you achieve nothing. At worst, it turns out that ingredients were cherrypicked to arrive at the figure, then you have to defend them.

It would be good to know the price context.
Is it usually 300 dollars or 30 dollars for that particular BBQ?

Its talking to real people about real things.

Sounds trite in a political context but one of Trump big advantages is talking to his audience about stuff that they can relate rather than the actual large issues.
