A blunt-talking President Joe Biden shut down a conservative reporter on Thursday night who asked if Democrats are defunding police departments — firing back with a question about a QAnon claim that left the reporter grasping for an answer.
As Biden walked across the South Lawn, he engaged with Shelby Talcott from the conservative Daily Caller following his town hall event in Cincinnati. The exchange went like this, according to White House transcripts:
“Mr. President, can you clarify what you said about no — that there’s no — no one in the Democratic Party is anti-police”‘ Talcott asked.
“I didn’t say that,” Biden replied before adding, ” I said that that — that is not the Democratic Party’s position. I’m the Democratic Party; I am President. So is the Speaker of the House and so is the –- the Majority Leader. We are not defunding the police.”
“Okay,” she replied before asking, “And are there people who — in the Democratic Party, who want to defund the police?”
“Are there people in the Republican Party who think we're sucking the blood out of kids?” Biden shot back. His response left Talcott fumbling as Biden stared then turned on his heel and walked away.

Every CNN host would have burst into flames from outrage if Trump said something about Democrats sucking the blood out of kids.
But because it's Biden, he gets a pass from most of the legacy media.

Normal people don't just randomly bring up “sucking the blood out of kids” but people with guilty consciences do.

Take a moment to imagine if Trump responded to a policy question by casually discussing “sucking the blood out of kids”.
This was a whole 24 hours ago too and the news cycle decided to mostly ignore it.

Anyone else concerned how obsessed Joe Biden is with sucking blood out of kids?

Where all the people who found Trump's tweets embarrassing and offensive? This is presidential?
- Mark Weiss
I guess they couldn't figure out any way of using this to claim that his mental faculties have failed him.

Democratic mayors in nearly two dozen major cities across the United States who have publicly called for defunding the police have received personal protection from a police detail at taxpayers' expense.
An analysis of 25 major U.S. cities conducted by Forbes showed that in at least 20 of them, mayors and other city officials have said one thing publicly but have privately reaped the benefits from a dedicated police security presence.
I'm not sure why they missed the opportunity to mention Biden's ongoing reputation for weirdness around kids.
Shit, Piss, Cock, Cunt, Motherfucker, Cocksucker and Tits.

Seriously though, don't you at least wonder if their might be a difference in police duties --one of these, protecting officials--isn't the same as the others? Sure you do. So, why not this guy?
Because he's motivated not to, and that may be at the heart of having the same brain damaging discussions with political types ad nauseam...

What guy?
It looks like Biden tried to suggest that the Dems didn't call for defunding the police.
Then rambled on about blood of children.
He's doing great. Did you see his 1/8-packed 'Town Hall'?
Most popular president in US history.
Shit, Piss, Cock, Cunt, Motherfucker, Cocksucker and Tits.

"Every investor at some point has kicked himself for holding an asset too long. Perhaps none, however, has made such a monumental miscalculation. By refusing to divest his portfolio upon taking office, Trump bogged down his presidency with ethics issues for years, while also missing a chance to cash in on a market boom he helped propel.
"If he had sold everything on Day 1, paid the maximum capital-gains taxes on the sales, then put the proceeds into a conflict-free fund tracking the S&P 500, Trump would have ended his presidency an estimated $1.6 billion richer than he is today."
I don't know. After the first billion, does it really matter?

They are not demands. There is a simple expectation when discussing issues that one responds to another's points - you brought up 2 issues with Biden, I showed that they were invalid, you (as always) changed the subject. Clearly you have an inability to engage in rational debate, and are only here for the trolling. Continue, and your suspension suggestion may well be implemented...
