Official LRC President Joseph R Biden Thread

Russia influence campaigns for Trump, against public confidence in election, exacerbate sociopolitical divisions. No attempt against election infrastructure.

Iran covert campaign to undercut Trump, against public confidence in election, for divisions.

China not so much.

And you, as others have observed, are a complete asshole.

Whew. Glad we got that all straightened out.

They are only talking about the border because it taps the white anxiety in their base. Trump didn't accomplish anything on immigration. He made enemies, made the US look stupid, caged children, and promoted racism. Immigration will never be as bad as it was with Trump. Rs will find endless ways to spin and the base will never watch anything other than FOX so facts are irrelevant.

Sometimes we are just the worst country.

Today I learned that

1) The US has now warehoused around 30 million doses of the Astra Zeneca vaccine. We don't need this vaccine and it has not been approved for use in the US anyway. The Europeans desperately need it but nah we will just keep it on the shelf thanks for asking.

2) The Trump administration pressured Brazil not to accept delivery of the Russian vaccine, on purely political purposes. As part of the new cold war. Evil stuff.

Those vaccines are earmarked for US citizens, pending approval.

You secure your own borders first before moving out. Maybe the EU should actually pull it's fvcking weight for once and in the meantime they're just gonna have to wait

Have to agree here, and I'm generally a fan of the more developed nations in the EU. Their bureaucracy and complacency is doing them in. On top of that, there is unnecessary hysteria over Astra Zeneca whereby gov'ts are caving and pulling the vaccine even though they had already locked in delivery. One big disadvantage those countries face of course is that most manufacturers are not from there. Imagine if Pfizer and J&J were not american... would we have any vaccines right now besides the 30 million AZ doses? Would trump have locked in enough doses?

Despicable indeed

Then Rs will say, see Biden couldn't get it done. Too many trumpers working to undermine Biden.. may they all be rooted out.

"But while Republicans and right-wing media outlets are making noise about a “Biden border crisis” in hopes of inflaming the anti-immigrant base that helped Trump win the White House in 2016, insiders who’ve worked at DHS, Border Patrol, and other executive branch agencies have a different view. These insiders say that many of the allegations being made by House Republicans and some of the problems arising at the border — such as the large number of minors remaining in CBP custody longer than court-ordered and statutory limits — have all the hallmarks of a coordinated push by Border Patrol officers, including the leadership of the Border Patrol’s pro-Trump labor union, to undermine the current administration.

“This is a planned, coordinated attempt to sabotage the Biden administration,” said Jenn Budd, a former Border Patrol agent-turned-immigrant rights activist who works with the Southern Border Communities Coalition.

Budd added that the fact that unaccompanied minors are being kept at Border Patrol stations for extended periods of time appears to be “an internal crisis” of the agency’s own creation: “It does not take that long to process children.”

Yep, but in a month when their $1400 is gone then what? More complaining and wanting more money?

For many, that $1400 is the difference between making rent and living in the street.

And yes, some who have lost their jobs because of covid will need more money. And we should give it to them.

And there is the problem! What will they do next month? Why spend so much of the 1.9 Trillion on things that don't help people in need like you state?

It would be nice if those that just post thrash talk about other posters would be banned. I don't care if you have a different opinion, or know nothing about what is being discussed, but why all the childish name calling and posts with nothing to add but emojis and silly razzings?

Lord knows why.

I suppose Biden Blunders could be posted without feeding the trolls, but is is fun pointing out their shortcomings and all the lies they have fallen for.

Vaccination wise:

Leaving out a suspiciously massive March 13, we've plateaued in the vaccination race. Not seeing much improvement anymore. Could be a statistical artifact - maybe we'll have another massive day soon, and the daily stats aren't that accurate.

While the world is rapidly getting worse in terms of new cases, the US continues to improve in most ways, although the last few days suggest a plateau starting.

Will be interesting to see if the US and UK can continue to improve due to vaccines as the 'swimming pool' gets progressively more virus-y. Can the vaccines, even at this low # of vaccinations keep us safe? Or will the virus wash up on our banks again, blasting through our vaccine defenses?

The border is a mess under Biden's watch.

This should quell the ballot stuffing in 2022 and beyond.

Where did I state that "so much of the 1.9 Trillion on things that don't help people in need"? I didn't say anything of the sort.

I think everyone agrees that the funds could be better targeted. The problem is that it's hard to evaluate the "true need" of millions of people and then act accordingly. So you have to take a fire hose approach.

Fire departments could save a lot of water if they could make their hoses only shoot the base of every flame. But firefighting just doesn't work that way.

1) No indication that this had an effect on who won the presidential contest in Michigan, where Joseph Biden prevailed by more than 150,000 votes over Donald Trump, nor that there was any "ballot stuffing" involved (or even alleged).

2) The story in The Detroit News, to which the Independent Sentinel story helpfully links, makes clear that Michigan's SoS should have followed procedure to codify her guidance--not that the guidance itself was unlawful. "The judge didn't rule on whether Benson's directive violated state election law, but did say the directive violated the Administrative Procedures Act, the process that must be followed when an agency creates new rules." [Emphases mine.]

3) The same Detroit News article notes that "Allegan County Clerk Robert Genetski [who filed the suit with the Michigan Republican Party] did not allege that Benson's directive 'caused him to accept a signature that he believed was invalid,' according to [Judge] Murray's decision." [Emphasis mine.]

4) Regarding the Independent Sentinel's misleading headline and framing of this story: "Overall, we rate the Independent Sentinel Right Biased and Questionable based on the use of poor sources, the promotion of propaganda and conspiracy theories as well as some false claims."
