Who knew that having a dog wihen you're US president was so precious to people.

Bomb all you like, but please have a dog.

How do you feel about stopping the support for the bombing in Yemen? Surely that is a good step for this regard.

Bombing seems independent of having a dog given it has grown under every president with or without a dog.

I suppose Trump could've gotten one of those robot dogs...
But then that would've been fake dog, so...

Well if you've got any Joe Biden scandals that don't amount to conspiracies etc, you're free to post them. If they're bad faith arguments or outright misrepresentations then they're likely to get called out.

I will leave it to you to decide what you think about this video and what kind of a man Joe Biden is.

You just couldn't resist bringing trump into it.

Well yeah. Trump was the most recent POTUS not to have a WH dog.

The poster was making the, valid, point that it is meaningless and seems that the US voters care more about that then US bombing people.

So it is relevant to show an example of a person that didn't do it. But not doing it didn't stop them from courting PR and public opinion.

So it serves a purpose and not something to get worried about. It harmless.

And no, no need to do better than that,

Any man that thinks it is appropriate to run your fingers through a pre teen girls hair, smell her hair, put your hand on her waist, or near the front of an under ten year old girls chest has not got a correctly pointing moral compass.

That video says enough.

Ahh lads, don’t get your back up now.

In regards to the previous president, he was and is a self absorbed narcissistic twat,

Telling me one of the girls is his grand daughter only tells me he doesn’t curtail his creepiness to his own family.

I watched the video. He is very carefully and obviously placing the kids in front of him for photos. That's it. Nothing creepy at all. If you think that he is going to grope kids in front of the American press and on camera then you are a fool. If you think that doctored video proves that he is 'creepy' then you are a bigger fool.

My assumption?

I am looking at a man place his hands on young girls totally inappropriately repeatedly. I assume he doesn't know what is correct and acceptable and likes to put his hand inappropriately on young girls.

Ive seen the 12:15 second version of the video.

The edited version doesn't change anything, and the longer version doesn't make it less pervy.

Let me put it to you,

If you were there for that photo shoot, and Joe Biden started running his fingers through your pre teen daughters hair, and then place his hand on her side just above her hip.

Would you feel OK with it?

Yeah actually, I would. He's very used to dealing with children considering he was a single parent for a number of years, has four kids and has grandchildren. Again, if you think he's going to grope a child in front of the American press and on camera, then you are conditioned and deluded.

No need to inch towards insults.

I am saying it as it is.

To coordinate children into the correct location for a photo, does not require you to run your fingers through their hair, smell their hair, or put your hands on their hips or shoulders.

It is not appropriate the way he is conducting himself in that footage with young girls.

Dawg. Jesus.

Some people will jump the gun and claim it demonstrates that he is a pervert, others will jump the gun and claim that it demonstrates that he is instead simply socially inept, whereas the majority (including me) will fall into a middle category and say that he just behaves as if it is still 1970.

While many of those against his politics will say that he is a pervert and the majority who defend him will he say that he is socially inept, the truth is that this video is not enough to claim either of those things, but the confirmation bias of both camps will continue to categorise him as one or the other even though he's most likely neither.

Thank you for your very grounded and rational offering.

If i was to Pidgeon hole myself in one or other of the categories of politics in the united states i would say Democrats.

However, just because i would say that doesn't mean anyone who is democrat is then out of bounds to be to be picked up on their behavior.

All that said, i dont really see what the 1970's has to do with it, the man has just been elected president of the united states, he should know what is acceptable and what is not, and being that hands on with peoples young daughters was no more acceptable in the 70's than it is today.

It actually was quite acceptable back then (and even beyond). If you have a look at videos of politicians interacting with children back then as well as children in similar situations, e.g. children interacting with TV hosts on a show, they are just as "handsy" as Biden is now. And if the parents are also present they are smiling away without any concern.

This is however why "acting as if it's the 70s" should be seen as a middle ground. Even though there is nothing wrong with his moral compass as you claim if that's the case, he should still be able to adapt to the times if he is indeed socially competent rather than inept.

However, neither the case of him "acting like it's the 70s" nor the case of him being socially inept are that important politics wise nor do they really question his integrity or morality. So, in my opinion, it's merely a flaw in his personality and not a valid point to make when trying to criticise him as president or criticise America for voting him president.

Tell me how

Are you referring to something he has done since he was elected President, seeing as you said that that is relevant, or do you want to talk about something from years while saying that what was going on years ago, is not important?

What I’m concerned about is the Republican leadership in the House of Representatives, who is willing to overlook, ignore, those statements, assigning her to the Education Committee when she has mocked the killing of little children at Sandy Hook Elementary School, when she has mocked the killing of teenagers in a high school at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, what could they be thinking? Or is thinking too generous a word for what they might be doing?

It’s absolutely appalling, and I think that the focus has to be on the Republican leadership of this House of Representatives for the disregard they have for the death of those children.

Not only are they not interested in gun safety and gun violence prevention by passing legislation for background checks legislation, which is overwhelmingly supported in a bipartisan way in the country, but to have someone who would mock, call it a fake event, is just beyond, it’s just beyond any understanding of any regard that the House Republicans would have for the House of Representatives, for the Congress of the United States, and for the heartbreak of the families at Sandy Hook and at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. It’s really beyond the pale. You’re just going to have to ask them why they thought that that raised itself to the level of something appropriate to do in the Congress of the United States.

In Biden Presidency news, Biden signs an exec order to reverse the so-called Mexico City policy that Trump expanded, eliminating funding for foreign non-profits that promote or practice abortion. So, that policy is gone, all to the good. In addition, Biden issued an order to the HHS to 'consider' rescinding Trump's restrictions on Title X providers, who provide family planning/breast cancer screening/sex education. Trump's change (no funding if you refer to an abortion provider), meant about 25% of the clinics closed as they lost funding. Hopefully HHS undoes this Trump disaster and moves on. In addition, at least 1 Senator is introducing legislation to remove the Mexico City policy permanently.

That's not in anyway comparable. Phil Hogan went against health restrictions and possibly endangered lives in the process. Biden was as "handsy" as many of his generation are used to being but not as "handsy" as succeeding generations are used to.

Ahh hold on a second, where in the world are you pulling this narrative out of that people from the 70's are more used to being 'handsy' as you put it.

Its normal putting your hand on the outside of someones arm as they stand on one side of you as a gesture of kindness for a photo.

Putting your hand on the upper hip of a girl that age is way way bang out of order, not just being 'Handsy'

And most people will say he was moving her hair back for a better photo, that there's nothing wrong with hands on a child's shoulders for a photo etc., and anything else you deem inappropriate is simply because he is out of touch or socially inept rather than creepy.

As President for the next 4 years, he's unlikely to be left alone in a room with a little girl anyway.
