The End of a White House Event

Posted By Mel Maki

I am giving you the first five times yes!
But we disagree times fifty on the side by side comparison.
And this is a friendly but very serious (as I read your language) reply!
I am assuming you disagree with my characterization of his shuffle about the stage as doddering.

It was actually pretty sad when I first saw it, thinking "Good grief, nobody will even acknowledge the guy's presence". 

He grabbed Obama's shoulder and Obama acted like Biden wasn't even there.  Not one person looked at him when they were in their circles talking with each other.

Then I thought about how corrupt he is with his Biden Crime family, and my sympathy went out the window.
If I was a friend of Biden I would be insisting that O's behavior was very intentional. O can play rough stuff politics.

People should stop saying it is about the computer. It is very difficult  to buy Biden's claim he did not discuss his son's business with Hunter. Also one hell of a coincidence Hunter was given so much money when his father had a powerful position. Was it his boyish charm and winning personality?

If we had to make bets that as Hunter is investigated will the "stuff" they come up with be damaging to his father we should admit right now, oh yeah, it will be damaging.

She'd start to say something and either forget what she was going to say or was simply unable to complete her train of thought. This deterioration was "overnight"; not a slow, gradual process.

I can envision the same thing occurring with Joe Biden.
Darian, seems she was having trouble concentrating.

Do you remember all the times Trump stumbled over pronouncing even simple words and dates?

Do you remember when Trump bragged about passing a simple MOCA test?

As long as Biden's health holds, he will finish his term. Just like Trump did. These attacks against a President's cognitive or physical health are almost always baseless and pointless.
You can sure argue Reagan should not have had that second term.

There is a lot of room to argue Biden/Harris is one of our weakest teams.
I am not just looking for a quick insult when I say if playboy Willie Brown did not take the very young and attractive Harris to Sacramento to introduce her (I recall the newspaper coverage) she would NOT be vp today.

In a Dem Dream, Repubs love QAnon and are also sure that Trump won the election! Does not matter how many polls you latch onto, it ain't what Repubs think. A lot of losing politicians have claimed they were cheated but it is difficult to find Repubs going for the QAnon nonsense. I have been unable to find one, maybe next year! There are not a lot of Dems bragging about the border, the price of gas, inflation, or the increasing red ink. Maybe in a few years they will look better!
Topping every bit of this is the Dem's steadfast insistence that the Dems are not too old (Biden) or too school girl (Harris) to finish their terms.

It does bother me that Biden has said Russia is a bigger threat than China. Maybe if you pretend the Biden family has not received Chinese dollars.

'We control them all'

Posted By Mel Maki

"operational control?"
That sounds like a bs tv movie!
Is that info as reliable as the, what was it, 51 intel operators?
What a bunch of goofy stuff.
Do you rate this crap as entertaining as the really bad made for tv movies?

If Only They Were Armed...

Posted By Mel Maki

The report I saw said this occurred after hours when they were closed.
You are looking shallow-minded if you think this has a damn thing to do with "if only they were armed?"
If I was a Democrat you posting the remarks of an imbecile would bother me more.

That has nothing to do with it. I don't times I have the same crazy argument in the past from you that ya gotta have your gun and know how to use it to keep yourself safe! Well, here's a case where it's more than likely they were armed and the robbers killed them anyway and stole forty weapons in the process of doing so. I posted this thread with you in mind, Mel,  just to highlight what nonsensical stuff you throw out there when it comes to gun laws...
Maybe in the future somebody else will take some time to say something you have not considered. I'll say this is my turn.
"What does after hours...?"
When gun stores are open there are usually armed employees walking around. If you were a criminal maybe that would not make a difference to you.
