yes , luckily - if they were not able to criticise the president because they risked imprisonment or death , then they would have to blame other countries and shadowy international groups for the fcukwittery

White House says Taliban 'cooperative' in facilitating departure of Americans

The White House confirmed Thursday that a charter flight from Afghanistan carrying U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents landed safely in Qatar and that the Taliban was “cooperative” in facilitating their departure.

“The Taliban have been cooperative in facilitating the departure of American citizens and lawful permanent residents on charter flights from HKIA,” National Security Council spokeswoman Emily Horne said in a statement, referring to Kabul’s international airport. “They have shown flexibility, and they have been businesslike and professional in our dealings with them in this effort. This is a positive first step.”

Your the one who has on more than one occasion admitted to drunk posting doesn’t that make you a hypocrite. Any way I assume from your comment on the last red you sent my way you haven’t seen the latest polls on Biden’s approval.


Biden's approval tanks even further to 39% with just 77% of Democrats approving his performance | Daily Mail Online

One poll that is skewing 5-10 points lower than all the other polls and quoted by a right wing rag in the daily mail. So as usual you are posting deceptive trash you old fool. The truth...

History will record that once again a Democrat cleaned up the enormous mess created by a Republican.

It's a repetitive cycle.

The Dems are shit and at best usually their own worst enemies.

However it is an objective fact that the ecoonmy in particular does better under a Dem president than a GOP one.

It's demonstrated throughout history the GOP one comes increases the deficit (usually by cutting taxes on Co's / the wealthy) and / or leads the US into recession, the Dem on comes in and leads the recover. Rinse and repeat.

Don't believe me just ask this guy...

“I’ve been around for a long time and it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans.”

^^ Yep. but i hate both.

And let's not forget this whole fucking Afghanistan mess was created by GHWB's idiot child and his pack of money-hungry crooks.

Not sure where to put this but here it goes...

"An Authoritarian."

"Rotting bag of oatmeal ... tyrant."

"Very frail and very weak."

Those are only a handful of the vile attacks directed at President Biden on Fox News Thursday night following his address to the nation announcing sweeping new vaccine mandates. Biden's move has prompted an all-out declaration of war in right-wing media. While he is getting a fair amount of praise from mainstream sources, with some analysts even saying he still did not go far enough, the reality is entirely different in the media consumed by the individuals Biden actually needs (and has tried) to persuade.

It is difficult to overstate the degree to which right-wing commentators are slinging venom at Biden, the White House, and public health officials following the speech. I pay close attention to these corners of the media ecosystem and it is as bad as I have ever seen it.

"BIDEN IS AN AUTHORITARIAN," a banner on Fox declared. "BIDEN DECLARES WAR ON MILLIONS OF AMERICANS," yet another Fox banner read. "FULL TOTALITARIAN," Breitbart's homepage splash screamed. The far-right, but mass consumed, Gateway Pundit ripped the "Biden regime" for its "tyrannical mandates." The Federalist described it as a "fascist move." On and on it went...

This can't be ignored

I know there is a temptation to just ignore these talkers. To tune them out. To pretend they don't exist. But their language -- which essentially characterizes Biden and public health officials as evil tyrants — is key to understanding why so many Americans are not protecting themselves with a vaccine.

Huge communities of Americans are being lied to and misinformed by bad-faith media personalities and politicians who seek profit and power. And when you understand the nastiness of the rhetoric being spewed to these communities, you also understand that nothing Biden or Dr. Anthony Fauci or any public health official can say will win them over. Nothing.

Which I imagine is the conclusion Biden and his administration have drawn. As Biden said in his speech, "We've been patient, but our patience is wearing thin, and your refusal [to get vaccinated] has cost all of us." Steve Schmidt put it this way on MSNBC: "We live in an age of misinformation and an age of insanity — and enough is enough is enough. Reality is reality and it is time to end the B.S."

The bad faith

Bad faith nonsense has saturated right-wing media and the GOP. One key argument I've seen put forward is that Biden should not mandate vaccines, but simply articulate why they are needed so that people can come to the decision on their own. Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a right-wing media star and proponent of this strategy, summed it up like this, "The right path is built upon explaining, educating, and *building* trust, including explaining the risks/benefits/pros/cons in an honest way so a person can make their own decision."

But that has proven not to be a viable option when Republican politicians and the media sources trusted by conservatives poison the waters. It is as if politicians and pundits like Crenshaw are living in an alternate world in which the top-rated cable hosts are not peddling anti-vaccine rhetoric.

>> Speaking of bad faith: I was struck at how shameless Sean Hannity was on his show Thursday night, saying about the Biden admin, "They created Covid hesitancy. They did this!" Uh, really Sean?

Feelings, not facts

Brian Stelter writes: "Reading Darcy's recap of Thursday's coverage, two things come to mind. First: The crazed reactions to Biden are about feelings, not facts. The most popular links on the right-wing web aren't to news stories, they're to opinion pieces. Second, I'm reminded of what Nicco Mele wrote earlier this week. His 'Rule 1' is that 'it will get crazier.' If the Biden era seems calm to you, 'rest assured,' he says, 'it will get crazier.' One of the reasons why: 'There are two media eco-systems in this country, standing side-by-side.' Thus, rule 1 remains in effect..."

"Even Fox News"

During his speech, Biden called out Fox News for its vaccine hypocrisy -- but I thought what he said was slightly misleading. Biden said that many companies are requiring employees to get vaccinated or submit to weekly tests. He held up Fox as an example of this, leading some people to incorrectly say that Fox has a vaccine mandate.

That's not true. Fox does not have a vaccine mandate. Fox has required employees to report their vaccination status to the company. Fox has its own version of a vaccine passport which gives special privileges to those who have reported they are vaccinated. And Fox does require some essential employees get tested weekly, regardless of if they are vaccinated. But Fox News does not have an actual vaccine mandate, which is important to point out.

You are not being fair Chico, I can quote Biden from his last 40 odd years in politics directly as stating that he was arrested in South Africa for trying to see Nelson Mandella, not to mention that he stated in July that used to drive an 18 wheeler. He stated that when he was a young "life guard" at a swimming pool, he let the little kids play with the hair on his legs, and at a press conference he told the story about "cornpop" He said cornpop was a bad dude.

So be fair Chico, Biden has never said he was top of his class in college.

I can't exactly put my finger on it but when Biden speaks these days it seems to be lacking in 'energy', he's not the guy inviting Trump out to the woodshed to lay a good beating on him any more. He's in an impossible position when it comes to Republican governors and administrators throught the nation. From an outsiders, Canadian perspective it seems that America is pretty much at war. I can't imagine things disintegrating to such a degree here or in Britain or any other G7 nation. Anyway, good luck Joe and hang in there( you poor bastard)

One might think that the media have a hand in this? forget over the last 4 years that 95% of the media spin on Trump was negetive? remember all the leaks,Russia Russia Russia, anonymous sources? And now Biden continually has a list of reporters to go to for questions, if not he continually sais, "Im not supposed to take questions" or " i'll get in trouble" or he just walks off after a press conference.
Than ask how many companies own the media in the USA?

Pence tears into Biden following vaccine mandate: ‘Unlike anything I’d ever heard’ from a US president

'That's not how the American people expect to be spoken to': Mike Pence tears into Biden's COVID speech and says Biden and Harris spent last year 'undermining confidence in the vaccine'

Former Vice President Mike Pence on Friday tore into the tone of President Joe Biden's COVID speech
Pence also blamed the current president and vice president for some Americans' vaccine hesitancy

'I have to tell you the president's speech yesterday was unlike anything I've ever heard from an American president,' Pence said on Fox & Friends

Pence added, 'That's not how the American people expect to be spoken to by our elected leader'

During Biden's Thursday remarks, the president chided the unvaccinated for keeping the COVID-19 pandemic roaring

Pence said Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris would have an easier time getting people vaccinated if they hadn't been critical of President Donald Trump

'They spent the whole last year undermining public confidence in the vaccine,' Pence complained

During the 2020 presidential campaign, both Biden and Harris expressed that they feared Trump would push for a hasty authorization of a COVID vaccine in order to gain a political upper hand.

'If and when the vaccine comes, it's not likely to go through all the tests that need to be done, and the trials that are needed to be done,' Biden said last August.

Harris said she'd only take the vaccine if Dr. Anthony Fauci, and other top American medical experts, approved of the process.

'If the public health professionals, if Dr. Fauci, if the doctors tell us that we should take it, I'll be the first in line to take it,' she said at the vice presidential debate in October with Pence. 'Absolutely.'

'But if Donald Trump tells us that we should take it, I'm not taking it,' she added.
