[NY Times] ‘My Memory Is Fine,’ a Defiant Biden Declares After Special Counsel Report

Where do you think Biden has pushed the boundaries of the Constitution and abused his powers?

If anything he seems to have shown more deference to the Constitution than some recent presidents at a cost to his agenda.

 

He was given the task because he’s a capable prosecutor and because Garland doesn’t even want to give the appearance of favoritism towards the President.

 

have you been paying attention?

Biden can't

 

a poorer, if, purer place.

I was referring to Newsom any DeSantis. What popped up in my mind was both punishing speech that they didn't like: dissenting covid views and woke stuff. They're 2 sides of the same coin.

 

Every president pushes the boundaries. FDR battled the supreme court and won the war of attrition by a landslide. It's the nature of executive branch. At least it is real choice in the direction of the future. This election means essentially nothing beyond which also-ran dies in office.

 

Lol

 

Twice

 

Neither Biden nor Trump should be running.

My only saving grace about Biden is that he surrounds himself with a strong group of people that can help lead versus Trump trying to surround himself with only yes men.

It is what it is. Biden has a great team. Trump does not.

 

This goes back to the essential question of whether a paper weight is preferable over a fascist and yes. The answer is always "yes".

 

Every presidency is an administration. Reagan viewed the job as mainly appointing the right people and letting them do their job. While Carter was criticized for trying to do everything.

In Trump’s case he did appoint some good people and in many instances they restrained him from doing things that were unconstitutional and / or unethical. Trump has now called those people disloyal and promised to appoint people who will not restrain him from doing his worst.

 

A national abortion ban sounds really bad but I guess this special counsel editorial leaves us no choice but to go along.

 

This is somewhat true, and FDR is one of the more revered presidents in history. That stated, I would think the vast majority of MAGA would hate him. Well, MAGA has no real principles, so maybe FDR would work, but like 90% of hardcore conservatives would hate modern FDR stuff. They would call him a Commy, and that's much closer to accurate than modern day name-calling. Most 20th century and beyond presidents have pushed boundaries of power, not all. Many would argue Reagan pulled back, Carter was wimpy, etc. Most presidents before the 20th century did not push boundaries, except for like Johnson, Lincoln, Jackson and a couple of others.

While I agree that this election is between two also-rans on the downside to their mental peaks, Trump is a much larger danger to democracy. It's not like american democracy works for everyone though, so, I get the frustrations out there. Trump is not the solution though, and tearing up the Constitution to make things better for some, while making a bunch of people just feel better, is not great for the long-term health of this country.

But back to the original point. Newsom and DeSantis both suck, if you care about representational government, the Bill of Rights, and working towards compromise to help everyone. They're good at pushing boundaries, punishing opponents, and playing to their bases. I wouldn't want either. Wouldn't mind Haley.

 

Biden has serious dementia. Anyone that has had a relative with dementia can see it. Trump is headed towards it as well, but is obviously not as far along. Neither should be President. I fully suspect that the democrats will run someone other than Biden. There is very little hope that the poll numbers will improve for him. They will get worse. Unfortunately, Trump will be the Republican nominee. I don’t think he could beat anyone but Biden, Kamala, or AOC. The Democrats are in very precarious situation and should take action very soon so they will have time to Marshall their forces before the election. It is truly unbelievable that this country can’t provide two better candidates then these extremely dangerous and unqualified candidates.

 

Or charge Biden with the crime of willful mishandling of classified docs. Lie about his memory being bad and charge him. It's not as bad as Trump, but it was still a crime. Or be truthful about Biden's memory and don't charge him.

Trump should be in prison, but Biden shouldn't be president, and we're going to chose one of them, lol.

 

FDR example was just a point to counter your exclusion based on executive government pushing boundaries.

If you like Haley, whatever that's fine also. I thought our war hawk invade them all and perpetual war tendencies were over but at least that's some choice people can make.

 

libertarian should idolize FDR. Because the other choice would be not to hear the scrams and cries of laborers to the point re start a communist revolution.

FDR saved America from Communism.
