And? I'm pretty sure a huge proportion of those accounts are also gonna be pushing conspiracy theories about the insurrection etc. So it's not exactly demonstrating a huge amount. I'd also put my money on similar tweets about him pre being elected.

About to swallow my own tongue here by saying this, but: “but Trump!”

that’s gas poetry.

“In January 2020, the Donald Trump-led Justice Department formally declared that impeachment inquiries by the House are invalid unless the chamber takes formal votes to authorize them.

“That opinion — issued by the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel — came in response to then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision to launch an impeachment inquiry into Trump without initially holding a vote for it. Not only is it still on the books, it is binding on the current administration as it responds to Tuesday’s announcement by Speaker Kevin McCarthy to authorize an impeachment inquiry into Biden, again without a vote.”

As Brian Taylor Cohen points out, the OLC's opinion under Trump came months after Democrats initiated an impeachment inquiry under Pelosi in 2019, under the laws then, what they did was perfectly legal and parliamentarian, but because Republicans themselves kicked such a stink about the inquiry, they had this OLC guidance created, barring Congress from impeachment inquiry without a full floor vote.

And, Cohen points out, if the Republicans want to pierce the integrity of the OLC and its memos, then they are opening Trump to indictments for crimes conducted under office, namely Obstruction of Justice, under charges Mueller was prepared to recommend if not only for the OLC memo indicating that was not legally possible.

American politics has indeed been at a lower ebb.

Jan 6th, 2021, the sitting President led an insurrection aiming to prevent the winner of the election from being ratified.

And it is testament as to how Biden has done, that his age is the stick people are using to beat him with time and again.

Could you provide examples?

I find it so strange how PERSONALLY some posters seem to take ANY criticism of Biden - as though they were directly related to the guy or personally affected by the criticism.

The notion then that this criticism can be dismissed as "Trump fan", "far-right" or whatever nonsense pigeonhole classification they try to apply is straight out of Twitter or America's news outlets. Bar one user I think, we are not IN America and while we seem to be soaking up the worst of their societal/cultural disintegration and identity politics, we have more than enough issues of our own.

There are plenty of videos online (try Sky News Australia for one) of embarrassing or bizarre Biden gaffes, statements, random walk offs etc that at the very least should raise questions. Forget the accompanying narrative or commentary and focus on the video/words from Biden himself and it has to he obvious that something is amiss.

But ultimately it's America's problem and there's no point throwing out toys because not everyone is going along with the notion that the Emperor really IS wearing clothes (honest!)

The left are giving plenty of criticism of Biden.

Every time you guys talk about polls not helping Biden, you're acknowledging that (or else you must be saying that only Republicans are being polled).

But what we (on the left) get annoyed about, is people holding Biden to a standard, they patently don't hold Trump to. That's the frustrating part.

Let's just note, Sky News Australia has a pretty atrocious reputation. Pushed great reset, COVID conspiracies and is frequently used as a source by Alex Jones. So them running out of context clips doesn't make them a suddenly credible news resource.

The talk came from Biden himself

16 seconds in... again forget the Sky host commentary. Watch the footage. Biden looks confused, unprepared and lost. Not a great look surely?

What exactly are we meant to be seeing here? Apart from a garbage TV station spewing out anti Biden conspiracy theory nonsense?

Have you ever giving a podium presentation and needing to say something while the audience watches you as you sort out your notes...

Go back and look at his speeches in Ireland this year.

Your choice. I'm not sure what you're on about but it sounds like the same nonsensical pigeonholing tactics I referred to above.

I'm telling you to watch the man (Biden) himself. Ye can keep dismissing and discrediting sources because you don't like the editorial (which is why I told you to ignore it for the purpose of this example), but you can't ignore Biden's actual performance live on screen.

Now unless you are suggesting that Sky put the video together themselves/edited in a voiceover/maybe deepfaked it (but that would be even more ridiculous and conspiracy laden than the accusations thrown out to dismiss these examples), then the concerns are there to see

This is in response to both of you - this stupid broken site still doesn't make it easy to multi-quote properly.
