Official LRC President Joseph R Biden Thread

Yikes. Every "extremism-related" murder in the U.S. last year: right wing.

Yikes.

Not a credible source.

And still a moron 🙄

Y'all know Biden essentially called the African-American community a monolith, right? He said that the Latino community, unlike the African-Americans, are very diverse.

And yet you wouldn't be able to adduce a single contrary example.

Isn't that interesting?

The source? The ADL. Formed over 100 years ago to support a murdering pedophile, Leo Frank.

The ADL is in the business of blaming their targets (Muslims/Arabs/Blacks for decades; Catholics and right wing whites now) for every crime under the sun.

Look at the 1st one mentioned, Club Q.

The shooter was labeled right wing hater.

Aldrich's attorneys say he identifies as nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns.

Hey Agip, here's one of your left wing heros...

GOP Crime Blotter

here's yet more right wing violence being prosecuted. From 1/6/21. Maybe you remember it.

DOJ seeks 18 months in prison for John Thomas Gordon, who had quite the arm as "a former semi-professional baseball player with a long, violent criminal history."

"Gordon yelled 'F**ck D.C.' and began repeatedly throwing a round, softball size, hard object that may have been a rock..."

always remember: those blue cities keep red american afloat with massive subsidies.

So please say 'thank you blue cities' and go on with your day.

Read it and weep...

I only like winners

ah yes the state with the 'conservative' governor who is unleashing government power against private companies he doesn't like. What could go wrong?

Gonna disagree with Joe Biden here and also give props to Conservative Supreme Court Justice John Roberts. I do that, because unlike the right-wing contingent here, I am not a sheep and will point out things my party supports that is wrong. Just further evidence that I am better than just about everyone, especially better than the right-wing nutbars who post here...I mean, of course I am.

Biden's plan to forgive college student loans is no good for several reasons.

1) It's elitist.

2) It smacks of pandering, so not a good look EVEN IF Biden thinks this is the right thing to do.

3) It COULD set up an expectation in the future of a similar forgiveness, so it wouldn't change any future student behavior with regard to taking out loans.

4) The students and parents who took out the loans knew of the risks, INCLUDING that there could be financial hardship later on due to ANYTHING. The pandemic is NOT an excuse for doing this.

5) It is unfair to those who paid loans off in the past (though, honestly I don't care about this one all that much...situations DO change that might require some people get a more favorable result later on...or a less favorable result too).

6) It is unfair to people who DIDN'T go to college and took out loans to start a business (as Roberts appropriately pointed out). Or really, if a student gets this relief, why couldn't or shouldn't someone take a personal loan for up to $20,000 and get that forgiven?

7) Yes it costs money, and we aren't in a position to just waste money, and for that reason I am against it costing this money, BUT, I will say that for those who would have this debt forgiven, it is VERY LIKELY they would then spend that money elsewhere, not only helping other businesses, but also raising tax revenue, SO, it's not as costly as it seems.

Roberts has made some good observations and had good questions about Biden's plan and authority to do this. I feel his approach to this has been correct and level-headed. Now, if he would take that same correctness and level-headedness and deal appropriately with Clarence Thomas, THEN we'd be getting somewhere!

So, I hope Biden's loan forgiveness doesn't go through.

Not sure why anyone would weep over this. Of course people want to go there...it's warm, it's relatively cheap, there are beaches and amusement parks and plenty to do. There are a LOT of retiring people now, and old people don't like to deal with snow and cold in the winter. That said, Sanibel Island is one of my favorite destinations, but I wouldn't want to live there.

I personally wouldn't want to live there. I don't need to be bothered and potentially really put out by hurricanes every year...also alligators, invasive species, very hot and HUMID in the summer. No thanks.

I think the political calculus on the student debt is that Biden wins either way...if the court lets him forgive debt he'll pick up all-important youth votes (biden can say SEE IT DOES HELP WHEN YOU SHOW UP TO VOTE) but if the court kills the debt forgiveness Biden can still say he fought for it and scapegoat the conservative justices and say SEE IF YOU HAD ELECTED DEMS YOU WOULD HAVE HAD DEBT FORGIVENESS!.

And it's not going to cost biden any votes...it's all gravy. Biden knows how this works. He's done it a long time.
