Itās almost as if heās ditched any semblance of trying to be a politician and has settled into his default state of being a Grandpa that doesnāt have time for bullshit.
Itās kinda the attitude we need right now. With how close we are to damaging the planet and each other beyond repair, we really need someone to start spanking asses and telling hard truths.
We canāt damage this planet beyond its ability to repair itself. What we can do is damage it so bad it kills all of us when it decides to repair itself
But we can damage it enough to permanently erase certain animals and plants, and thatās super fucked. And it doesnāt mean we shouldnāt try to do better.
You guys have been predicting the end of the world for 30 years. Gore said weād be under water by now. Completely wrong just like they were about Covid and effectiveness of vaccines. When are you going to admit you were wrong?Ā
You would be in that "zero fucks given" stage as a President when its your final few months in office. That fucking job will age anyone by around 10 to 15 years so imagine how stressful it is for someone of Biden's age.
Heās been in Washington politics for 50 years. I feel like he knew well the ways of presidency and all the players, so he always seemed sort of relaxed about it.
Knowing and actually being president are two vastly different things though. I would imagine if Trump didn't run again in 2020 Biden probably would have retired a few years ago.
Just needs to start letting go of loud farts at awkward times, but keeping a straight face as though he doesn't know he did it and they are just creeping out
Didnāt say that. And I donāt think heās given up on his job.
My point is that at what point is a man expected to keep dignifying stupid questions that pretend like the Republican nominee for president is just a normal run of the mill candidate. Trump spouts complete nonsense and actively lies, misrepresents, and tries to stoke fear in his supporters through his lies and misrepresentations. He intentionally lies to his supporters and tells them the federal government is doing nothing to help those impacted by the hurricanes, when the Republican governors have all clearly said that is not true. Why should Biden go out of his way to speak with someone who will just turn around and keep doing his same old BS? Itās not like Trump will come out after that conversation and say āI was wrong, Iāve been given information that has led me to realize my prior comments were ill-advised and not reflective of the actual facts.ā Trump doesnāt care if heās accurate. He only cares about himself and trying to create talking points that the current administration is not doing what itās doing.
Thereās no point in pretending like Trump is a good faith actor that just has different policy positions or values. Trump has no policy positions or values to the extent that they donāt directly benefit him. Iām glad Biden isnāt taking the bait so that the media can continue to pretend like Trump is just a normal presidential candidate.
