    It makes you wonder if they actually have potatoes for heads themselves. It might explain their indignance.

    Today Biden unequivocally and forcefully condemned racist and hateful attacks against Asian Americans.

    Not even a hint of both-siding it or mentioning fine people.

    Who the fuck does this guy think he is, president of the US or something?!

    Joe Biden’s First Primetime Speech Viewership Tops Donald Trump

    More numbers from Nielsen have pushed viewership for POTUS’ first primetime address to the Nation up to 32 million. That’s accounting for eyeballs on the 14 networks of ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, Telemundo, Univision, CNBC, CNN, CNNe, Fox News Channel, MSNBC, Newsmax, Newsnation & NEWSY.

    Joe Biden may not be a favorite of Fox News viewers, but fans of the Rupert Murdoch-owned cabler newser sure tuned in bigly to the President’s first primetime address last night.

    Commemorating the nearly 530,000 Americans dead and the widespread economic devastation that has dominated the last year and condemning assaults on Asian-Americans, Biden’s just-over-20-minute speech from the White House’s East Room came mere hours after he signed the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Act into law. Poised as the opening salvo in a coast-to-coast political pitch to further sell the already-popular initiative to the public, Biden’s 8 PM ET remarks were covered live on all four broadcast networks and Univision as well as all of the cabler newsers and online.

    Or put this way — and this will sting a certain resident of Mar-a-Lago — that’s better than Donald Trump’s first primetime presidential address did on August 21, 2017. That speech on the ongoing war in Afghanistan drew under 18 million on the Big 4 with NBC logging 6.2 million viewers as the most-watched net of the address. Trump’s numbers went up to about 28 million when the likes of Fox News Channel, CNN and MSNBC were factored in later.

    ^What a surprising surge of the figures... After the low attendance at his rallies. Perhaps because of the generous money distributed? What they got from the one before him?

    (Pity that we do not see here more about him as we had seen here every day about the one before him...)

    Biden is not about the agulation and personal gratification of trump, Biden at this point is in essence a Technocrat, he at his own admission is a transitional figure, he is here to put together a professional team as he has, fix this thing and go away.
    I might not agree with all his politics but he is the right man for the time. We had enough entertainment , it is time to get to work.

    I agree with these sentiments.

    So BB do you think Biden may decide to do a single term and then (theoretically) hand the reigns over to Harris ?

    I was one of the 32 million who watched live. The content was good.

    I do though wonder still about Biden's physical and (to some extent) mental condition. His back is clearly worn out and I do feel a fall may be in his near term future. By the time the average person gets to seventy- nine the body is compromised. I think his handlers are going to have to learn how to "handle" him better. There is no need for him to walk (and certainly not jog) that long runway to the podium. When an old person gets tired it is inevitable that concentration will begin to be compromised, that's simply how the aging process works. So let him take it easy as far as appearances are concerned. He has a very competent team around him so no need whatever to micromanage everything like his predecessor was guilty of.

    Biden will not have a second term. He’s a dementia corpse and everyone knows it. He’s coddled. Hidden. Takes zero questions and never deviates from the teleprompter. Doesn’t make any policy and follows the party line. He’s a literal prop.

    Personally, I hope they run Harris. Best chance for republicans to check leftwing idiocy is if they run that insufferable ho.

    Assuming Biden lives long enough to finish his term.

    I certainly don't think a second term is in the cards for him, you got to appreciate the sacrifice he is doing for us, being president is hard work,all those who enter the office, you can see it in their faces by the time they leave. I am sure at his age , he want's to be home with his family and grandchildren, I know I would. IMO he chose Harris as his VP with that in mind, she has the gravitas to step into the office, she is smart, young, well educated, and a centrist.

    I hope you don't think a pretentious avatar does not give any more weight to the drible you post. If BIden who in two months brought the country out of the hole your boy buried us in is " a dementia corps" WT F is the Idiot that for four long years wrecked the country? The Idiot who fixed ACA, the moron who fixed our trade deficit with China, the Asshole who magically cured Covid.

    The fact that you think any of what you posted is even remotely true is a lesson in how politics makes some people literally retarded.

    The fact that you don't see what the arsehole did is even funnier.

    Tax cuts for the wealthy paid for on the national debt, tariffs on the chinkies paid for by US consumers, promised a health care plan for four years and never even produced a draft, and repeatedly told everyone that Covid would go away on its own and people should drink bleach.

    You'd have to be a prize fucking imbecile to support that.

    Tell us more, Mr. Science.
    Biden exercises regularly, by biking and weights. Fauci, 2 years older than Biden, runs/power-walks 4 miles a day.

    What “the arsehole” did is in the past.

    Hero-worshiping a corpse for “fixing” shit in “two months” is next level smooth-brain idiocy. This upsets people but it’s true.

    Not nearly as idiotic as blindly following a President that suggested the ingestion of disinfectant to cure COVID.

    Hey, you guys are the ones hero-worshiping a corpse & believing he’s fixed the country in two months, which is just absurd.

    If your positions had any merit, you wouldn’t need to be a big ole fibber and invoke the guy you hate to justify them.

    Nah, it's doesn't and it's not. It's just the silly shit Fox News, OANN and Newsmax churn out for chumps like you when they're not bleating about the plastic genitalia on a potato.

    Biden Is Betting His Whole Climate Agenda on Infrastructure

    Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) — one of the strongest advocates for climate action among Democrats in Congress — called the upcoming infrastructure bill “our primary opportunity to move green priorities. Green infrastructure and low-carbon technologies have enormous potential to create jobs.”

    Biden team hopes to make 2021 infrastructure year with major package to boost US roads, bridges

    Biden and his team have begun discussions on the possible outlines of an infrastructure package with members of Congress, particularly mindful that Texas’ recent struggles with power outages and water shortages after a brutal winter storm present an opportunity for agreement on sustained spending on infrastructure.

    “Now is the time to be aggressive,” said Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, a former South Bend, Indiana, mayor who knows potholes.

    Did your boy or did he not tell as last spring that "Covid will magically go away" ?
    Was or was it not the trade deficit with China bigger when your buy left office than when he started? which he promise to reduce ?
    Did he repeal and replace with something better ACA as he promised?

    Biden is spending his few remaining years , working his ass off to fix the mess your boy got this country , to get you a vaccine (70 million so far) to save the US economy from the hole your buy's inept response to covid put the US in , to put some money in your pocket until the economy opens up, and the only appreciation your kind can show is to call him "dementia corpse ". because he does not come on TV and talk trash to you , which is the only language that you apparently understand.
    Or is it you who is a " dementia corpse" . at least from the neck up?

    He’s just doing what Democrats have had to do for the past 40 years, or so. With regards to the federal deficit, Reagan took the deficit from $70 billion to $175 billion. Bush 41 took it to $300 billion. Clinton got it to zero. Bush 43 took it from zero to $1.2 trillion. Obama halved it to $600 billion. Trump took it back up to 3.1 trillion.
