All Things Biden: Is It Over Yet?

[Tero]

Pot cancel culture!

[Cunt]

My debating policy is that I will accept an invitation to debate, if I think it is serious, interesting and in an appropriate forum. So far, you just don't tick enough of my boxes. Sorry Hermit.

I'm just here to answer the age-old question - Biden: Is It Over Yet?

No, it isn't. Not yet.

I heard Bongino say it on his last show. Enjoy it if you want to, but neither of us thinks anything in it can change your mind.

And stop telling me you need my sources, when you can't acknowledge them anyway. Remember how easily you dismiss Project Veritas? Over and over based on an old error? Tell us the story of Acorn again, Hermit, and how it proves that we should never believe anything from PV forever.

Then tell us that WaPo and their allies didn't lie about Trump's Georgia phone call. They do have plausible deniability, right?

So many words to merely reiterate your refusal to back your assertions up with evidence.

What assertion?

That I heard something from Bongino?

You are becoming a parody of yourself.

Biden, still fighting the War on Drugs.

'Biden White House Sandbags Staffers, Sidelines Dozens for Pot Use'

Dozens of young White House staffers have been suspended, asked to resign, or placed in a remote work program due to past marijuana use, frustrating staffers who were pleased by initial indications from the Biden administration that recreational use of cannabis would not be immediately disqualifying for would-be personnel, according to three people familiar with the situation.

The policy has even affected staffers whose marijuana use was exclusive to one of the 14 states—and the District of Columbia—where cannabis is legal. Sources familiar with the matter also said a number of young staffers were either put on probation or canned because they revealed past marijuana use in an official document they filled out as part of the lengthy background check for a position in the Biden White House.

In some cases, staffers were informally told by transition higher-ups ahead of formally joining the administration that they would likely overlook some past marijuana use, only to be asked later to resign.

“There were one-on-one calls with individual affected staffers—rather, ex-staffers,” one former White House staffer affected by the policy told The Daily Beast. “I was asked to resign.”

“Nothing was ever explained” on the calls, they added, which were led by White House Director of Management and Administration Anne Filipic. “The policies were never explained, the threshold for what was excusable and what was inexcusable was never explained.”

In response to this news story, White House press secretary Jen Psaki tweeted out on Friday an NBC News report from February stating that the Biden administration wouldn’t automatically disqualify applicants if they admitted to past marijuana use. Psaki said of the hundreds of people hired in the administration, only five who had started working at the White House are “no longer employed as a result of this policy.”

Psaki didn’t note how many had been disqualified for a White House job before actually starting, nor did she note how many were suspended or relegated to remote work, but she did send an additional statement to The Daily Beast on Friday.

“In an effort to ensure that more people have an opportunity to serve the public, we worked in coordination with the security service to ensure that more people have the opportunity to serve than would not have in the past with the same level of recent drug use. While we will not get into individual cases, there were additional factors at play in many instances for the small number of individuals who were terminated,” Psaki said.

Next they'll be sacking people for drinking beer at the weekend.

I wonder how a global minimum corporate tax is easier to implement than a wealth tax.

It will never be implemented. It's the "tragedy of the commons". Even if all countries had the same rate to start with, it would always pay some rogue country to slightly lower the rate, and attract corporations to its shores.

What assertion?

Don't pretend you don't understand. All assertions you refuse to back up with evidence. For instance, its not good enough to report that you heard Bongino make the point that making the claim that the Hunter laptop was disinformation, is disinformation. You need to furnish evidence for the assertion that making the claim that the Hunter laptop was disinformation, is disinformation.

[Cunt]

I didn't assert anything, other than that Bongino said what he said.

If you can't move on, maybe go listen to what he said, and see if you care.

If not, you could ask me about a debate, but I doubt I would. Because of the way you just posted, for one.

Stumble-gate, here we go. Biden fell going up steep steps and conservatives are implying that he's sick and demented. He gets up and springs up the steps faster than I would and is in his late 70's. Meanwhile Trump could barely walk down a gentle slope and did a whole bit about how steep and slippery as a sheet of ice it was.

Old man stumbles...it's a common story, and seriously where my personal training goals aim.

My overall 'training goal' is to be a half-drunk old man, negotiating a slippery, poorly designed bathroom.

No shit. I can't see the vid, but fucking HEAPS of people go out that way. Broken leg, off your feet, spiral of negative health effects and BAM! Dead in your prime, at 75 or so...

Border troubles

Boebert, Trumpster from Colorado, wants to go down and shoot the illegals with covid.

Democrats:
"Migration goes up and down, that’s the reality of the border. Biden has different values and has given people hope, but there’s no border crisis, to say so is political manipulation,” said Ramona Casas, director of the migrant advocacy group Arise. “We need to address the root causes and transform the broken immigration system, not more militarization.”

The new democrat president!

Trigger Warning!!!1! :

[Brian Peacock]

Yeah, that manages to push most of the relevant intersectionality buttons.

[Cunt]

If Biden really believed the baloney he has been peddling, he wouldn't want an old white man in charge.

He would surely step aside for a woman of color. Even the least popular candidate at the Democratic Convention is a better choice for the voters, than an old white guy.
