Joe Biden Presidency thread *Please read OP - Threadbanned Users Added 4/5/21*

It's a bit ridiculous but it is actually a semi serious post.

On mobile so excuse any errors and will need to give some background to this.

If your an American watcher you'l know that schools and education have become heated parts of the culture war, in particular school boards etc.

Biden it can be reasonably argued has signalled to activists that there time has come with actions like repealing Trump's executive order on CRT and signing the DIA order (diversity one that only samples minorities if they experience discrimination)

First let's clear a couple of things up. Any Trump/Devos changes to title 9 are irrelevant to this case as I understand it and in fact it's reinstatement seems to be acting as cover. I know this will be honed in on like a missile though so if people genuinely believe that it would, show your workings. Second Bidens administration repealed changes Trump's admin made about gender identity and single sex spaces.

Ok now the story as I understand it.

-Loudon county and it's greater area has had some "progressive" capture /elections into various institutions

- It's been in the news about rows between school board/officials and parents

- Back in the summer some father got arrested at a school board meeting about gender identity AFAIK, went a bit viral. Used as an example of how terrible irrational bigots Republicans are.

- lots of news about the need to protect teachers from crazy parents and some official policies, and republicans highlighting that parents should have an input into education.

Note that Loudon county is called out specifically.

- Now about two or three days ago a story got picked up on by conservative and local media.

The man who had been arrested in the summer, had previously been called into the school with the news that his daughter had been physically assaulted, he states that he finds out that she was raped by a boy "who wears a dress". He gets arrested for loosing his mind at a meeting- context making this understandable.

Then it comes out that the same male bodied student had also previously had a serious charge raided against them at a different school. One of the incidents is in a bathroom one in-class room.

Now in relation to the arrested dad's story that's not confirmed. However the sherrifs department has basically confirmed as much as can be with a that the two sex attacks took place at the two schools afaik same student involved. Dates match statements etc.

So now the very progressive school board that remember has already been involved in a big row about bathrooms which got national attention as an example of crazy parents obviously kept shtum.

Democrats have recently gone all in on, dangerous parents- see FBI thing, parents shouldn't have a say in schools- see Virginia governor candidate, bathroom/single sex spaces bills and that any fear in relation to it is irrational- see also that Korean Spa in LA/San Francisco where protesters were defending the right of a sex offender to show their cock to kids (literally not making that up).

And the Republicans have obviously been attacking all this.

So basically if the rather horrible story is true (and at least some of it is), you have all the things conservatives get mocked for saying actually being true.

Hence why though it's local this is nationally bad news for at least the Progressive wing of the Democrats.

I fully expect this will be ignored despite people's kids being one of those things that really touch a nerve with parents who tend to also be voters

Ah it's grand my post is a bit garbled anyway, if it turns out to be a story that's true and picked up widely, and it might be as that specific county already been in the news will be harmful to at least the Progressive Dems.

Early days

That article does not help the context. It seems like a very real possibility given an absolutely horrific bill that someone will complain about holocaust books.

Strictly speaking, if this new state law requires ''both sides'' to be told on any particular subject, they should technically have to.

Mind you, they will probably just weasel their way out of it somehow, even though we all know this state law is just a b*llsh*t smokescreen for them to fight a variety of left wing causes. 😑

Don't feel sorry for him - the buck stops here. Back in May, I scandalised the bien pensant posters on this thread by saying the Biden was the weakest US President in modern history. Now, his true calibre is apparent and his defenders are scrambling to justify his failures.

Joe Biden owns the budgetary mess because he pandered to the "progressives" although his entire 40-year career was built on being a "moderate" i.e. working with Republicans, and he won the nomination because the Democratic Party establishment had to stop Bernie.

He owns the current legislative chaos, just as he owns the Afghanistan mess. COVID should have been his strongest card as vaccinations rolled-out but a brutal surge this summer has overshadowed Trump pandemic failings (which probably cost Trump the election). Does anyone know what Biden's plan for the Middle-East looks like (apart from getting back into bed with the mad Mullahs of Tehran).

I'm sorry that the first truly Irish-American President since Kennedy is proving to be the least effectual. Did he help us in any way so far? He talks tough on the Protocol but he can't match Bill Clinton as a deal-maker. Did he help us on corporation tax? Having made the concession on 15% to Janet Yellan, what we need now is for Congress to endorse the deal but fix 15% as the limit internationally. Unfortunately, the progressives didn't get the memo about our great triumph in deleting "at least".

Trump was absolutely weak and corrupt. He did very little in the end which was largely a blessing for the US admittedly. International leaders were openly laughing at him and most international meetings were just to use him to score points at home by making him look silly (which was not hard). If you look at his main goals it was the wall which was never done, lock her up and Hilary never even faced trial and that healthcare would be so easy which ended up in such a disaster that Republicans had to vote to save the Obamacare system they hated so much. At best he didn't actively impede Paul Ryan's tax system.

A lot of Biden's early goals were based around getting the covid vaccine available and vaccine mandates since covid was obviously the biggest issue he had at the start and well that is done with the main failing behind the vaccine roll out being the US education system.

I agree Biden has not done a massive amount for Ireland. He has helped push back on the UK's nationalism a bit and well he is the US president not the Irish.
