Why the Concentration on Biden, Not Trump?
Since the debate, a LOT of attention has been placed on the “performance” of President Biden. Nothing said hardly at all about Donald J. Trump. Let’s review…..
To begin with, it makes no difference what network you watch, listen to, whatever. Everything has been about the performance of President Biden debate with Donald J. Trump on Thursday June 27, 2024. Little to nothing has been reported about the performance of Trump.
In my personal opinion, Trump did a lot worse than Biden did. Every time Trump was ask a question, he replied with a lie. It didn’t matter what it was. He lied over 28 times, about everything. He accomplished his task. He got President Biden on the defensive, and that’s where he wanted him.

During the 30 minute interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, Biden admitted he had been ill, checked by his doctors, whom I might add travel either him everywhere he goes, who said he had a bad cold. Yea, President Biden is 81. Trump is 78. So let’s throw the age thing to the dirt. Both candidates are old. Hell, I’m 72, soon to be 73. I’ll be happy if I live to be 81 I have half the stamina Biden has. Right now, I couldn’t keep up with him on his daily schedule.
This was an interesting interview. To me, it proved nothing. My opinion of President Biden hadn’t changed one bit, and to be really honest either you. If he was on his death head, I’d support him. What alternative do we have, other than a lifetime with Trump as the dictator, or Kennedy, Jr. at the helm, which would be worse!!!Below I have compiled a list of accomplishments by the Biden-Harris administration. I’ll pick up on the other side.

Now, there’s a lot of Democratic Senators and Representatives pushing for Biden to bow out of the campaign and allow someone else to run in his stead. They are throwing Vice President Harris out as a possible replacement. I will say, I’d support either Harris or Michelle Obama to be on the ticket as president. But, Biden is the person who needs to stay there and get his agenda done the next 4 years. Besides, if something happens to him after he’s re-elected, who do you think is going into the office of the presidency? Vice President Harris!
What these democrats are worried about is their losing the House and Senate to the Republicans. My opinion on this is a simple one. If they keep acting like children, they will lose, but it won’t be President Biden’s fault. It will be theirs. The House of Representatives nor the Senate has accomplished one thing of significance this past two years. Not since we gave the majority of the House to the Republicans. The ONLY thing they have accomplished is wasting a tremendous amount of taxpayer dollars on frivolous investigations into the “Biden crime family”! They have found nothing! NOTHING! After two years of this bullshit waste of time, nothing has been found. But, they refuse to give up! They are there for themselves, not us, their constituents, the American people.
Nice gathering and compilation of Biden administration achievements, Daniel.
I watched the 22 minute interview Friday night and concluded that someone was slipping. It is not, Joe. George Stephanopoulus’ interview was amateurish and, as the demented lying Fat Orange Clown would say, SAD! The one tone repetition of ridiculous hypotheticals was disappointing from someone who used to be a respected journalist and opinion show host. It seems to me that corporate media has given their minions their marching orders and it includes letting the Fat Orange slide.
I was an independent for many years. In 2020 I went for Biden for one reason. I was not voting for something but, as a veteran who never missed an election since I got the right to vote by age, I was intent on voting against a clear and present danger to our Democracy. It was why I and many of my peers put ourselves at risk during our youth.
As many have said in different versions about November 5, 2024, I would vote for a potted plant rather than vote for an ignorant narcissistic megalomaniac who created a SCOTUS that has now anointed him king. One person I definitely would not vote for is a replacement of Biden if he is somehow forced out by the current group of idiots known as the Democratic Party. There’s that Will Rogers quote along the lines of “I am not a member of an organized political party…I’m a Democrat.”
If Biden is not on the ballot I will throw my vote to a third party to let them know I was there but believe that their fast food mentality cannot and should not be condoned. The self-serving Dems calling for change would have been ones trying to fire Eisenhower and his staff on June 7, 1944 because they were not in Germany yet and he smoked too much. They would have blocked FDR in 1936 because he didn’t get the country out of the Great Depression yet which had been caused by the GOP of the 1920s. If they were sports teams owners they would have released the rookie who had a rough first couple of months but later became a HoF member (there’s a number of them). You get the point here.
If more people were readers and intent on making a knowledgeable vote and not be manipulated by sounds bites pandering to fear and greed then they would read and become very familiar with Project 2025 for which its creators have made a web site. They are not hiding their intent and methodology to destroy what the Founding Fathers created and replace it with a theocracy that destroys our civil rights, leaves the consumer unprotected, removes many aspects of our healthcare, will not recognize our rights to privacy, and forces their christian nationalism on us.
I am long in the tooth and as a straight senior white married male who has financially planned a middle class retirement and end, I have little to lose and believe I am low on the list to be loaded into a boxcar and sent to a camp for their final solution. The many others ahead of me on that list have much more to lose. So, if all of those who have been aggrieved in some way over the course of their lives, especially from January 2017 to January 2021, cannot unify and mobilize to get Joe back for a second term then I am bitter enough to say the hell with it.
If anyone who despises the traitorous insurrectionists trying to regain power cannot act and present strength from now until November then I will not lose sleep over it. If you thought that the Fat Orange’s first four years was a fuster-cluck, you ain’t seen nuttin’ yet. This time they are prepared, have extensive plans in place including thousands of unqualified people identified to replace government workers, and are wanting and willing to use violence to execute those plans.
Karma can be a real bitch. Voters for Biden, are you doing the right things and racking up enough points to be sure she is on your side?
Hugging you, Daniel! This is perfect-accurate, factual, truth. Thanks!!! 😊
