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

OK, so the question asked at that press conference didn't reference anything about the supposed collusion, it was purely centred on the Russian interference.

In a strongly-worded statement, US House Speaker Paul Ryan said Mr Trump "must appreciate that Russia is not our ally".

Edit: if you want, we can take this to the trump thread

Here’s a thought to link this back to Biden. Trump is obnoxious in many ways and he ultimately failed but he wasn’t weak like Biden, especially when dealing with the media.

Unlike Biden, Trump faced a hostile media (with few exceptions). He treated them with contempt, cutting them out and reinventing political communication through his Twitter feed. Then he would go on Fox and have (embarrassingly) long conversations about anything and everything. Contrast Biden who has been hidden from the media for months, emerged to do a CNN (who else!) Town Hall with a sympathetic audience but he messed it up. Taiwan is one for the nerds. His remarks on energy were pathetic but it his overall demeanour that disturbed most commentators here.

Trump’s faced a dilemma in Helsinki. The media were like a malicious co-worker who has been trying to get him fired and who asks an embarrassing question during a crucial meeting with a major competitor. Should he give them the satisfaction? There was no good answer he could give but what he said was not a gaffe. And no one was going to ask Putin a much more interesting question- “What would you do if your old comrades in the Russian intelligence community were plotting against you, like the FBI and others are doing to President Trump?”

Biden doesn’t have to worry on that score although the spooks are seriously unhappy with his rushed withdrawal from Afghanistan which exposed their intelligence failures. The big risk now is that Biden becomes increasingly incapacitated in the next three years and we have a scenario unprecedented in modern times. Woodrow Wilson had a stroke that knocked him out for weeks in 1919 but it was covered up which couldn’t happen today (could it?). Don’t say Vice-President Harris would step in, I want to believe someone will be in charge even it is is the spooks.

Yes, I do. Do You think the media was fair to Trump during the (multiple) impeachment efforts? Remember all those Watergate analogies - heroic journalists exposing wrongdoing in the Oval Office? That all turned to sh*t when the Mueller Report exposed the plotting between the Clinton campaign and the spooks with the journalists acting as their patsies. Now I see Christopher Steele is being resurrected by the media even though he won’t go to the U.S. to answer questions.

Contrast that with the suppression of news about Hunter Biden’s laptop. Now there’s a Ukraine scandal!

I really like this quote of Biden from a phone conversation with Putin (from "Peril")

Biden is unpopular at event attended by mostly Trump supporters. Shocker. And easily amused Trump supporters start a hashtag and buy a dumb song. Any other brilliant insights to share?

Why would I be offended by your silly post?! I am amused though! "Enormous proportions" 😂

You really don’t get it. This is a not a story about NASCAR fans hating Biden. It’s about the TV reporter misrepresenting what these people were shouting.

So “Let’s go Brandon” is a riposte to the Biden-friendly media who misrepresent was ordinary Americans are saying.

It's hilarious that some posters think that some shïte song nobody in their right mind would want to listen to, never mind buy, is some sort of battlecry from the disenchanted masses of "ordinary Americans"!

Very similar to the "he's attracting a big crowd" people who thought that was an indication of who was more popular.

The other way of looking at it is that left leaning artists dominate the chart most of the rest of the time.

Honestly, it doesn't really mean anything, similar to a lot of the memes surrounding presidential candidates.

Approval rating is still dropping, still higher than his predecessor ever was, but lower than a lot of presidents at this point, budget approvals will be needed to turn this around.

Why would the mainstream media be keeping a lid on Biden's unpopularity, if it exists?

Media aren't loyal to anybody.

Your post suggests you are one of the poor unfortunates who believes Trump's lies about the fake news.
