Man, everything is so upside down right now. It is struggle for me in just about every realm because nobody makes any sense anymore and they no longer care to.
You try and point out the failings of most political arguments and the hypocrisy of those making the arguments, and it seems like you are alone in giving a fuck.
I’m not going to lie to make a point here, I’m not alone in giving a fuck, but when half or more of those purporting to give a fuck, appear to suddenly fall into a mass panic around the best performance by a president since at least Jimmy Carter, and decide in the most important election of my lifetime that Biden should not be allowed to run even, I just keep feeling like everything is irretrievable upside down.
Here are some other examples:
The man who has most egregiously promoted violence in all facets of American life is going to give us a speech on National Unity tonight. It should be great.
The party that wouldn’t require Feinstein to step down when she was obviously cognitively impaired beyond the ability to do her job, now is only united in the need to remove Biden from the ticket, because he is just too old for them. No one cares about the positive job he has done and is still doing despite his age.
The party that has been in lock step with their great leader since he lost the last election and has never missed a moment to attack Democrats and anyone else that is critical of their great leader as an enemy of the state, then acts totally surprised when violence comes to their great leader. Also they have consistently blamed the victims of their threats for causing the violence. They show no responsibility for anything they do.
Speaking of responsibility, Trump has 34 felony convictions for falsifying business records. He was also found civilly liable for rape/sexual assault/defamation of E. Jean Carroll. He has a half a billion-dollar judgement against him for business fraud in New York. He is still under many federal indictments despite bailout rulings from SCOTUS and Judge Cannon, yet even before Biden’s age concerns, it is Biden that should step out of the race. This is despite his positive achievements in office that far exceed the performance of Trump’s term by almost every metric. Yet somehow Trump is still thought by many as a more competent candidate.
As far as the economy. It has excelled at every metric under Biden. Many noted economists even named his policies Bidennomics, because they are working. We have had under Biden, record job growth, record employment, inflation was greatly lowered, the stock market is booming, yet most of America thinks the economy is a bust. That is even with Fox News often noting how good the economic indicators actually are, even though they hate to report the truth.
As for Biden’s other achievements in office, I don’t agree with Bidens support for the Palestinian Genocide, or his sucking up to Saudi Arabia and MBS and his approval of pipelines and drilling, but that is the way it rolls with a president, you are not going to agree with every move and you keep fighting for the things that matter.
Here is what I do agree with: getting our troops out of Afghanistan, the infrastructure bill, The inflation reduction act, lowering medication costs on insulin and other drugs, Student loan forgiveness, Ketanji Brown Jackson, His stable personality and his adherence to the norms of the presidential office, and the last but not least is his commitment to addressing climate change.
Not even considering how much better Biden’s performance was than TFG, He just beat the pants off of Obama’s presidency in one term, but somehow Michelle Obama is supposed to take over and be president according to many In the media (Joe Scarborough for one).
Excuse me, but I’d rather have Mr. Biden than Mrs. Obama and that is the last example of mine today of how upside down everything is at this moment in our history
Good Luck America!
