    Is the US finally moving more towards Europe on social issues? Never mind Europe . . . anywhere with a pulse?

    Joe Biden intends to run again in 2024, White House confirms

    The White House has said that Joe Biden intends to run for re-election in 2024, a statement that comes amid speculation over his future as the president sees a dip in his approval rating.

    Biden, 79, has suffered a drop in his polling numbers in recent months, leading some Democrats to speculate he might not seek another four-year term.

    “He is. That’s his intention,” said the White House press secretary, Jen Psaki, as Biden flew onboard Air Force One for a Thanksgiving event with US troops in Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

    Biden was already the oldest presidential candidate to be elected as commander-in-chief when he beat Donald Trump in the November 2020 election, and will be 15 days short of his 82nd birthday on 5 November 2024, the next time voters in the US will be asked to choose their president.

    Oh gosh, I sure wish he wouldn't. When he gets finished his first term he will have served the country at its highest level. That's a great honour that very few will ever have. For me this isn't a political opinion, I could really care less whether it's going to be Twiddly Dee or Twiddly Dum in the wheelhouse. Why would a guy who is going to be eighty two even consider running again. You're in pretty good health for a man your age Joe. Hang up the gloves and spend more time with your children and grandchildren Joe. I think history will judge you positively. Nothing left to prove sir.
    A true diplomat is a person who can tell you to go to hell in such a manner that you will be asking for directions.

    Looks like at least one Democrat still has common sense about Biden’s spending plan.

    Joe Biden gives GM CEO Mary Barra credit for ‘electrifying the entire auto industry,’

    US President Joe Biden was at the inauguration of GM’s Factory Zero yesterday, the company’s first electric vehicle factory, and he gave a speech in which he gave credit to GM CEO Mary Barra for “electrifying the entire auto industry.”

    I think Joe just told a big fat lie...

    Statement by President Joe Biden on the Omicron COVID-⁠19 Variant

    This morning I was briefed by my chief medical advisor, Dr. Tony Fauci, and the members of our COVID response team, about the Omicron variant, which is spreading through Southern Africa. As a precautionary measure until we have more information, I am ordering additional air travel restrictions from South Africa and seven other countries. These new restrictions will take effect on November 29. As we move forward, we will continue to be guided by what the science and my medical team advises.

    Don't think Joe tells lies. He just goes around making ridiculous statements because he doesn't really know WTF he's talking about.
    His news conferences are mostly a mess of fumbling, stumbling cluster fucks and he seldom answers questions unless they come from selected sources. Mostly, he just turns and walks away so his handlers can do damage control.

    Joe Manchin is loyal to Joe Manchin, period. He’s a “Democrat“ in a deeply red state, and knows the only thing that’s going to save his ass, and continue to line his pockets, is to drag his feet on voting for any legislation from the Biden administration.


    A poster boy for term limits.

    It's a tough job being a President or Prime minster....at least of a country with a population larger than a midsize city. The entire western civilization seems to have an acute shortage of leadership at the present time. No wonder Mr Putin and Mr Pooh bear are being so assertive these days.
    We (the western democracies) need to do better. At the very least our leaders should be able to string a few sentences together and know what day of the week it is.

    Manchin is just another typical cash-trousering Republican who doesn't give a fuck about anyone but himself and the people who throw money at him.

    No, like all Republicans, and under the facade that's what he is, he's a traitor to the country.

    It's true though, whether or not you think it 'counts'.
