How sad that Trump was comprehensively beaten by "sleepy joe".

What a loser.

Biden was 100% correct in calling the making of masks not compulsory in Texas a Neanderthal move.

Of course we have Jordan et al clutching their pearls.

For folks who call the left hyper sensitive, and poor Donny even had a book ghost written and bought by the GOP called "triggered", they aren't very emotionally robust.

I heard literally the same claim about the following; that Biden would be replaced before the election and Biden would be replaced before the inauguration. This timeline is on a constant shift.

He's already made a number of comments that weren't taken well.

“Jim Jordan under scrutiny for nearly $3 million in unreported campaign funds“

That Jim Jordan?

Biden was 100% correct.

He hardly suggested injecting disinfectant?

His recent comment about "neanderthal thinking" in relation to removal of mask mandates is one.

On a scale of 1 to injecting disinfectant, where do you think it sits?

Beige suit territory maybe?

Hmm, still banging on about Trump? How about you give the current POTUS the same level of scrutiny?

That's a misrepresentation anyway.

The scale is stupid things said by any president.

Injecting disinfectant is at the top of that scale, and can be used to judge how stupid any future president statement is.

I don't think it will be topped for a long long time.

He is absolutely correct.

He has buried a wife and 2 kids. He knows what loss is.

Not making masks compulsory is neanderthal thinking.

It isn't a gaff. It's a statement of fact.

If Biden and Trump made exactly the same sentence you'd have the same people
respectively excusing one and castigating the other.

If Trump used the phrase "Neanderthal thinking" he'd be condemned as a bigot or racist.

Only those that cannot understand context or nuance.

Regrettably, Trump supporters and/or republicans are repeat offenders in that respect.

Not about trump brah.
I can make it about him though if you want, the comments he made about democrats, Muslims, Mexicans, etc?

Ending a mask requirement in the middle of a pandemic is backwards.
Are you going to argue against that, really?

No. What I am highlighting is the absolute hypocrisy of people. They hold the one they support to a much lower standard than the one they don't.

It's actually the opposite.

For Biden, he needs to have a reason for what he says, and in this particular instance he is perfectly correct, given that he is trying to deal with a nationwide emergency and looking to save peoples lives.

Trump can basically say whatever he wants (he is still making up stuff about the election for goodness sake!) and people simply accept it as 'Trump being Trump'.

Trump is held to a way lower standard that any previous, and Biden, POTUS.

Removing mask mandates is neanderthertal thinking.... People will die as a result of such foolish policies. Who is he being racist against?

Like if there were neanderthertal's around,I guess they could be legitimately offended by being likened to the politicians who removed the mandate. Are you concerned about offending them? :P

He is also taking at dig at Republicans - perpetuating the stereotype that they are all stupid.

It simply is.

Any evidence on your second statement?
Because the crowd storming the Capitol didn’t look like professors.

People who are refusing to wear masks are stupid (unless they have a condition that prevents it). Neanderthal is probably a nicer way of putting it.

But here you are, again, holding the current president to account for doing his job correctly, the hypocrisy here knows no bounds.

Have we decided if this is on the beige suit level of outrage yet? Maybe selfie camera?

There was no need to spin anything he said.

This is the thing Trump supporters always do - they blame the fact that he was purposefully misinterpreted. If people didn't like Trump, well that is because the fake news portrayed him in a particular way!

That was not the case. People knew he was horrible from what came out of his mouth because they saw it in real time. They read his tweets in real time.

We see he is horrible. We see he is incompetent. We aren't brainwashed! We don't need CNN or anyone else to put a negative slant on him.

But here we are again. Trump, always the victim.

You think using the term neanderthal in relation to politicians and idiots actively hampering health policy during a global pandemic that has killed over 400k people in the US alone is akin to racism? Your what if scenario is pretty ignorant...

It's more that you've fallen for the chum thrown your way by the GOP. They've been clutching their pearls at the use of the word neanderthal as though people have forgotten what they were perfectly willing to accept over the past 4 years.


Personally I would have preferred that he used "stupid" or "asinine" but that's just me. If a certain way of thinking is stupid, one should be able to call it stupid. That's not even close to the same ballpark of some of the last guy's greatest hits.


You can expect to see Biden contrasted with the last, especially whenever someone who hitched their wagon to him tries to manufacture some outrage about something that they had no problem with and even cheered on when their guy was in charge. It's the obvious means of pointing out the bad faith from which someone is posting. That's a normal social consequence of backing a turd - you don't get to complain and be taken seriously about the smell when the turd is replaced by pebble.

Why would Trump describe Texas's opening up as neanderthal? Trump would have supported it. Your "what if" is getting into aunt and uncle territory.

Let me get this straight. When Trump said something stupid or crass many were out straight away to deflect, say it was out of context, he didn't mean it, he was talking about some not all etc etc.

With Biden, you are asking if he said something he didn't actually say should he be held to account?

And you are claiming that Biden is being held to a lower standard?

Yeah_Right

stefanovich wrote: »

What if instead of using the word neanderthal, he pulled a funny face and made some ridiculous hand movements to mock them? Would that be bad?

ollkiller

Are we really discussing using the word Neanderthal. It was the perfect description of the policy that went before. The barrel has no bottom anymore from all the scraping.

Neanderthals originated in Africa too.... They did migrate to Asia. So there's no special association between europe and neanderthals...
