Enemies of the State
"Too much of what's happening in our country today is not normal," he said. "Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic."

The link to the above quote: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/biden-address-extremist-threat-democracy-prime-time-speech/story?id=89121094


Last night in Philadelphia, Joe Biden gave one of the most disgusting, divisive speeches in the history of the country. We heard a string of cliches sprinkled with vile. The political speech was obviously delivered to get the democrats evil to the core base energized. Last night he declared that the 75 Million people who voted for Donald Trump were a danger to democracy.

The fear of Biden's handlers is that they and the democrats who ran the country for the past 18 months will be severely punished for their extremist policies. So what we got was an attempt to gaslight & project. We heard nothing about the economy which is now in recession. We heard no defense of the mandates and school closures that were the trade mark of his covid response. We heard nothing of the border or the 2 Million people and tons of Fentanyl that crossed it in Biden's first 18 months. We heard nothing about the war on energy that produced all the high gas prices. Instead we heard Trump's name mentioned twice. You know, the potential political opponent that Biden's DOJ is prosecuting in the Court of public opinion. Biden's handlers like the leftist media think the country can be governed like Castro's Cuba for 18 months and it will all be forgotten in the November election. They really believe they can pull it off. It's not a referendum on the party in power, it's a referendum on a former President!

For many months we have been hearing about "saving Democracy" from democrats. This the backdrop for the speech given tonight in the style of a Marxist dictator. The choice is being put to the American people. Their vision of America is what we got for the past 18 months. Obviously they have made a calculation: They think the only way they can win in November is to divide the country further.

The Republican National Committee said in a statement that Mr. Biden was “the divider-in-chief and epitomizes the current state of the Democrat Party: one of divisiveness, disgust, and hostility towards half the country.”

"In her rebuttal, Reynolds said Biden and his fellow Democrats, rather than "moving America forward," have "sent us back in time to the late ’70s and early ’80s, when runaway inflation was hammering families, a violent crime wave was crashing on our cities, and the Soviet army was trying to redraw the world map."

The Week:


The Teacher's Union gets an F: "The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) scores for 2022 were released Thursday, and by any standard they are a calamity. An unprecedented decline in reading and math scores is the first national measure of the damage done by school closures to America’s children. The 2020 NAEP tests were administered shortly before pandemic lockdowns and school closures, so this year’s results provide a snapshot of how students have weathered those two years. It’s not pretty. Average nine-year-old scores declined the most on record in math (seven points) and in reading since 1990 (five points). Two decades of progress have been erased in two years. Results were even worse for lower-income and minority students. Math scores fell by 13 points for black students and eight points for Hispanics compared to five points for whites. Reading scores for low-income students fell twice as much as for others."

More Blatant Lies from the White House: The unqualified WH Press Secretary recently tried to blame the previous administration for bad news relating to school shutdowns. Just a reminder that it was Biden and his beloved Teacher's Union that orchestrated school shutdowns:

The American Federation of Teachers lobbied the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on, and even suggested language for, the federal agency’s  school-reopening guidance released in February.

"The powerful teachers union’s full-court press preceded the federal agency putting the brakes on a full re-opening of in-person classrooms, emails between top CDC, AFT and White House officials show.

The emails were obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request by the conservative watchdog group Americans for Public Trust and provided to The Post.

The documents show a flurry of activity between CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, her top advisors and union officials — with Biden brass being looped in at the White House — in the days before the highly-anticipated Feb. 12 announcement on school-reopening guidelines."

Dishonest Media defends Fetterman: "Many mainstream media outlets are providing a sympathetic framing to Democratic Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman's decision  not to debate his Republican opponent Dr. Mehmet Oz as Fetterman recovers from a stroke. That appears to be in part because of the sharp attacks from Oz's campaign and Republican allies that have included sarcastic pledges to help Fetterman through any debates, and one spokesperson's acerbic remark that Fetterman could have avoided his stroke by eating more vegetables. On-air conversations from CNN and MSNBC saw media figures widely condemning the Oz campaign’s comments  about Fetterman’s health, and hypothesizing that it may push people away from a Republican candidate with an already unenthusiastic voter base. However, several commentators and guests also expressed concern at Fetterman’s ability to govern. Fetterman, who suffered a stroke in May and spent time away from the campaign trail, has said he does plan to debate Oz at some point."

Documents Dispute Drags On: "A federal judge on Thursday declined to issue an immediate decision in a case brought by former President Trump, whose attorneys asked the court to appoint a third party legal expert to review evidence seized by FBI investigators when they searched his Florida home.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon said she will issue a ruling at some point on whether to appoint a so-called special master to review the evidence and temporarily block the Justice Department’s investigation into the mishandling of classified records due to their storage at Mar-a-Lago. She did not specify a timeline for when she might issue that decision.

Cannon wrote last Saturday that it was her “preliminary intent” to appoint a special master, and on Thursday asked, “What is the harm?” in such an appointment."

Putin Snub: "Vladimir Putin will not attend the funeral of  Mikhail Gorbachev , the last leader of the Soviet Union, the Kremlin has said, in what will be seen as an extraordinary snub by the Russian president.

Gorbachev, who  died on Tuesday aged 91 , would also not receive an official state funeral, a Kremlin spokesperson indicated, making him the first leader since Nikita Khrushchev not to be given that honour."

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/sep/01/putin-will-not-attend-gorbachev-funeral-kremlin-says


Justice Denied:   "A federal judge has dismissed Carter Page's lawsuit against the FBI and former Director James Comey alleging they improperly surveilled him under a FISA warrant.

The bureau surveilled Page under a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant in a process during which they  concealed  exculpatory evidence against him, DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz found in his 2019 report, per the Washington Examiner.

Judge Dabney Friedrich, in a Thursday ruling, dismissed the suit."

https://justthenews.com/government/courts-law/judge-dismisses-carter-page-suit-against-comey-fbi-over-alleged-fisa-abuse





What Have We Learned:

Unfortunately, the American left having wielded unlimited power for 18 months, knows that the midterm election cannot be a referendum on what they have done to the American people. Therefore the dishonest media is selling us another version of 2020. The DOJ is helping by getting more Trump info for the Jan 6th Committee and this will be another attempt to make it about Trump. Biden's handlers want to split the GOP by demonizing the 75 Million people who voted for Trump. Some here want to do the same as they babble on incoherently about what Trump might have done. It is quite obvious that they will put the American people to the test on November 8th.  I expect the American people to reject the terrible direction that our current rulers have tried to take us. I also expect an apology from every independent that voted for Biden in 2020.

More so than Brandon's speech about trying to turn 75 million people that voted for Trump into the enemy.

If Trump would have given that speech Democrats would already have him up on impeachment charges. 

But Brandon and the Democrat media shills are all marching to the beat of the same drum. They will all act shocked if some of their radical Brown shirts decide to act out based on Brandon's speech. When it is exactly what Brandon is calling for.

How about here:

Why is the southern border open?

I made no assumption that you intend to prove that the southern border is open because any thinking person knows that it isn't.

If it WERE open, logic would point to the CBP data on 'encounters' being fabricated. 

So, pick one Vic. Is the border open or is the CBP lying about the thousands of encounters every month?

It’s time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never forget, that whether we are black, or brown, or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots. We all enjoy the same glorious freedoms, and we all salute the same, great American flag. And whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the windswept plains of Nebraska, they look up at the at the same night sky, they fill their heart with the same dreams and they are infused with the breath of life by the same almighty creator."

Ahhhh ... maybe THAT'S why CNN altered the bloody backdrop to a pretty pink color! Photo comparisons in link.

CNN is facing questions from critics after the network was busted altering the lighting for   President Biden’s Thursday address , softening the blood-red hues to calmer shades of pink.

The president came in for withering mockery online for the harsh black and red backdrop, with many comparing the optics to “Star Wars” and “V for Vendetta.”

While networks like CNN, MSNBC, CBS and C-SPAN carrying the speech all originally appeared consistent, CNN noticeably altered the color of the background from red to pink in real-time.

A rep for CNN said the issue was caused by a technical glitch with the CBS pool feed.

The political speech was obviously delivered to get the democrats evil to the core base energized. Last night declared that the 75 Million people who voted for Donald Trump were a danger to democracy.

You are a trip. You call Bidens labeling of MAGA vile, and then in the next sentence declare that Democrats are "evil to the core".  Do you realize you are self-parody personified? 

Trump's latest explanation for the stolen documents is that , as predicted, there was nothing wrong with him taking them. Just like there was nothing wrong with the "perfect" phone call intended to blackmail Ukraine in 2019, and just like there was nothing wrong with what happened on Jan 6 (Just yesterday Trump told a far right radio show that if he becomes president again he will pardon every one of the Jan 6 rioters.)

It all depends on what someone thinks makes America "great". If your idea of "great" is taking us back to the 1950's, stripping women of their right to privacy and bodily autonomy, re-establishing a supposed "separate but equal" society with minorities, immigrants and those who are not white religious conservatives being pushed back to the fringes of society, only creating 'safe spaces' for white conservative Christians, then making America "great" again is a bad thing.

If your idea of "great" is making sure everyone is treated with the same respect, where diversity and equality are cherished, where lgtbq, minority, atheist, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim and other minority Americans needs and cultures are just as important and part of our society as the white conservative Christians who once dominated American culture, then making America "great" is a good thing.

There is no question that Trump's fatal flaw is that he brings out the worst in his opponents

I wouldn't really call it a fatal flaw.  Look how he brought out the childish behavior of the left and the Democrats.  2 years out of office and they are STILL obsessing over him.

I'm in no way saying he was the best.  Far from it.  Now compared to what we have now, his term was golden.  His term exposed how partisan the media, DOJ, FBI and the "special committee" is.  But there are far better candidates.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.  We've all seen your "smoking gun" articles making that claim.  But what we haven't seen are any indictments or any real proof outside of the whining of the left and Democrats. 

You do realize it took less time to investigate, find evidence and identify the culprits of 9/11 than it has the Democrats to investigate and find evidence on Trump. And that's with the assistance of the partisan media and FBI.

Because it takes gathering far more facts to definitively prove he instigated the violent insurrection than it does showing video of the worthless dipshits he instigated beating capital police with flag poles.

If the Mango Mussolini's guards hadn't stopped him and he had been able to get to the capital as he wanted, we might very well have been able to wrap this up quicker with video of him breaking the doors and beating capital police officers while loudly declaring himself the defacto President as he clearly desperately wanted to do.

Total nonsense. 

First of all there is no evidence that Trump's policies had majority backing.  Secondly the president of the United States represents our country , not only internally but to the rest of the world. Trump was and is seen as a buffoon with autocratic tendencies. 

This is a person who literally wanted to steal the last election. The Jan 6 committee proved this beyond any reasonable doubt. While Capitol police were being attacked by MAGA rioters, Trump sat in his dining room watching it on tv and doing nothing to stop it. There is sworn testimony from multiple white house personnel that this was so.

I am sure Putin was thrilled with that.

I damn well sure know our NATO allies were thrilled when Biden took over. Back to basics for them. Diminished military spending and that independent European military idea went poof. They are proving exactly how unprepared they are with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. But at least they have Biden in charge to boss around. The US is again bailing their asses out. Ukraine should be an EU issue; not a US issue.

Try reading something. 

I posted links as backup. Try reading them!

The whole "Trump is Putin's puppet" narrative doesn't come close to panning out.

ORLANDO, Fla. — President Donald Trump accused Democrats of trying to "destroy our country" as he officially kicked off his re-election campaign with a packed-house rally at the Amway Center here Tuesday night.

"Our radical Democrat opponents are driven by hatred, prejudice and rage ," "" They want to destroy you and they want to destroy our country as we know it. "

Trump, launching re-election bid, says Democrats 'want to destroy our country' (nbcnews.com)

There is quite a difference in a candidate at a rally speaking to a few thousand and a sitting PotUS on national TV speaking to millions. That you don't see that is truly troubling.

So you want to compare a re-election campaign speech paid for by the Trump campaign in front of his supporters in at the Amway Center in Florida; with a tax payer paid for national address at prime time outside of Independence Hall? 

If Trump had pulled the shit Brandon did last night during a national address Democrats would already be impeaching him. Don't even pretend otherwise.

Also, didn't see where Trump accused those of supporting Democrats of being traitors. He accused only Democrats who were at the time doing anything they could (whether it was legal or not) to get him. Or do you really need the entire Trump vs Pelosi & House Democrats tit for tat war rehashed out?

President Joe Biden accused former President Donald Trump and his supporters of promoting an extreme ideology that threatens democracy in rare prime-time remarks Thursday as he stepped up attacks on conservatives ahead of the midterm elections. 

“Too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic,” Biden said in the speech from the Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia.

He accused so-called “MAGA Republicans,” a reference to Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan, of refusing to recognize free and fair elections, increasingly talking about violence in response to actions they don’t like, and of being determined to thwart "the will of the people."

Biden has in recent weeks become more assertive in calling out “MAGA Republicans.” At a political rally last week in Maryland, Biden described the movement as akin to “semi-fascism.” 

On Tuesday in Pennsylvania, Biden referenced “MAGA Republicans” multiple times as he invoked the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, condemning attacks from some Republicans on law enforcement.

He has also portrayed Republicans as anti-law enforcement by accusing them of excusing violence at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and fueling attacks on the FBI following the bureau’s search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. 

You are comparing apples to atom bombs. 

So either you didn't listen to Brandon's speech; or your TDS is blocking what he exactly said out. 

Also, you need to address the difference between a campaign speech given in front of supporters; and a tax payer paid for national address at prime time.

It's telling you have to resort to using Donald Trump as a justification to defend Biden. The worst American in history is the guy you have to use as a comparison.

But the 2020 convention, held in the middle of a pandemic, was inherently political by its very nature. There was no attempt at deception.

Palpatine billed his speech last night as a Presidential address and requested prime time  from networks on that basis.  Presidential addresses usually involve questions of war, or national tragedy, such as Trump's coronavirus address.  They are not supposed to be unhinged partisan rants produced by a protégé of Leni Riefensthal.

History was never going to be kind to Joe Biden.  On a personal level, the plagiarism in law school, the plagiarism on the campaign trail, the serial lying and bragging are the marks of a thoroughly dishonest person. And that doesn't even address his  grifting and dysfunctional, to put it mildly, family. His public career has been marked by a lack of principles and opportunism, gaffes, and as Robert Gates said being wrong on every major issue for 30 years.   He's a buffoon, best captured by Obama's devastating warning not to underestimate his ability to fuck things up. 

He won the Presidency by donning the guise of the moderate, promising  back to normal politics following the upheaval of the Trump years.  and had he stuck to that role of a caretaker, he probably could have redeemed his reputation by serving four years as a moderate democrat  and retiring.  Since he never had principles, I hoped he had enough self awareness to realize he was an old, diminished man and that awareness plus a selfish goal in restoring his reputation would lead him to assume the role of the moderate healer.   But with his mind addled by age and greed, that wasn't enough. He got a hold of power and can't let it go.  so he became a creature of the online left the runs his party, woke, angry and intolerant.  By being the angriest, most woke, most partisan President possible he hopes to keep the support of the deranged left wing mob and secure a second nomination. He will do or say whatever it takes to do that.  Last night was proof of that.

Another meme full of shit.

  • Southern border wide open and illegal immigration at the highest rate ever. Brandon is ignoring the problem he caused with his policies.
  • More people dead due to Covid under Biden's watch than Trump's (That is with the vaccines that were produced under Trump's watch. Democrats are now trying to blame Trump for their ineffectiveness against the new strains of Covid and side affects. Brandon is still mandating that all government and military officials get them. Make up your minds Democrats!) Biden is also the largest super spreader around.
  • Crime rates and criminals being released w/o charges by Soros funded DA's and AG's. Democrats must figure we are all stupid. If criminals aren't charged they didn't commit a crime, and crime rates are down. All we have to do is watch the evening news and you tube to prove them wrong.
  • High gas prices. When will Brandon finally start putting oil back in the strategic oil reserve? He can't keep taking it out forever.
  • Inflation. Something no Democrat will ever discuss
  • Recession. We are in one. Everyone knows it; but the Brandon administration wants to redefine it. Can't fix the damn problem if you don't admit there is one.
  • Afghanistan. Brandon abandoned US citizens, green card holders, and special VISA holders to the Taliban, Al Qaeda, ISIS/ISIL, ISIS+, and how many other radical factions they want to come up with.
  • Not one of the damn things listed in the meme is going to do one thing to lower inflation (in fact some with increase it) or improve the economy. Guess people are supposed to ignore food shortages and supply shortages in favor of Democrat talking points.
  • China, Russia, and North Korea pulling shit they never attempted under Trump. But Brandon's botched Afghanistan withdrawal sent a message to the whole world that he is weak.

Biden's gory backdrop was eerily reminiscent of fanatical, colonial Salem, MA 17th century witch hunters ...

Well, I missed the speech and had to watch it on YouTube (a gatekeeper of democracy, it seems).  Biden delivered a vibrant Soviet style speech, liberally laced with patriotic nationalism drawn from historical moments that highlighted defending the American Rodina.  Don't overlook that Biden declared that he is the nation's defender of democracy, democracy only serves the nation's interests, and the electorate are enemies of that democracy when they dissent.  The optics of Biden backed by the military was not an accident.

Political violence was not normalized by MAGA or Republicans.  MAGA has not burned and looted one city in the United States.  And the Capitol building still stands.  In fact, the 'insurrection' did not impede the functioning of government in any way, shape, or form.  Biden fears political violence directed toward government.  Nothing else matters.  Biden delivered a bald faced lie about political violence and was applauded for it.

Biden presented a litany of accomplishments.  Interestingly Biden made no mention of bipartisanship during that presentation.  Biden claimed those accomplishments as his own and not the result of any sort of democratic process.  Biden, and only Biden, provided these 'good things' for America.  Biden made a backhanded argument that democracy only gave him the power to do these things.  Votes matter and that is the extent of democracy.  Democracy only exists on election day; after the election is over the electorate must do as it is told.  And dissent is a threat to democracy.

Overall Biden delivered a message that democracy only matters when it supports an undemocratic government.  A very Soviet argument.  It is the duty of voters to defend the American Rodina.

Biden is correct, America is at an inflection point.  Republicans, in typical fashion, are frittering away that inflection point to focus attention on irrelevant trivia.  The Republican elite only want to establish their own politburo.  

The 2022 midterms should be a referendum on central planning.  American democracy is based upon a simple idea that arose before the American Revolution.  The legitimacy of any government depends upon the consent of the governed.  That was the motivation for the American Revolution and the foundation of the American experiment. 

A government asking for consent from the electorate is starkly different than the government imposing itself onto the electorate.  Central planning is not a democratic process.  Central planning ignores the concerns of the electorate.  Central planning imposes itself onto the electorate which is diametrically opposite of the founding principle for the United States.  Elections are not about mandates for central planning.

Biden properly states that democracy resides within the electorate.  But Biden is absolutely wrong in implying that the need for consent from that electorate ends after an election.  Winning an election is not sufficient to claim legitimacy for autocratic government.  The electorate will protect its authority over democracy by revolting.  Dissent is not a threat to democracy; dissent is the electorate claiming authority over democracy.  And if the government ignores that dissent then the need for political violence grows.

Biden (as with any President) influences political violence by ignoring dissent.  Violent dissent suggests central planning has missed something; central planning has failed.  When the electorate is willing to risk injury and death to violently oppose government then the legitimacy of that government becomes questionable.  Government using force to impose its central planning onto the electorate is not democracy in action, no matter what the results of elections may be.  Elections are not an excuse or permission to abandon the founding principle of obtaining consent from the governed.

Central planners have claimed authority over an infrastructure they did not create.  There isn't a national infrastructure.  All infrastructure was created locally which why there is such wide variety of infrastructure across the country.  Infrastructure in the United States is not one size fits all.

The broad brush that central planning provided public infrastructure is a blatant lie that cannot withstand even cursory scrutiny.  Central planning has imposed itself onto locally established infrastructure and the result has been neglect, decay, and disruption.  Central planning has made local infrastructure less safe and secure.  Central planning has created obstacles to meeting the needs of local communities.

Who said central planning was Marxist?  Central planning in the United States is controlled by unelected elite who decide what is best for everyone in an undemocratic manner.  Central planning is the opposite of democracy.  Central planners do not even seek the consent of Congress let alone the consent of the electorate.

Biden claims he has an electoral mandate to govern by executive order.  Biden claims that a majority (which is actually a plurality) gives him permission to impose whatever he deems appropriate onto the country.  Biden claims that expert advice overrules dissent.  That's not democracy.
