    War on women

    Joe Biden Really Insults Women Voters

    by Matt Margolis

    Joe Biden has claimed he grew up in a black church, a Jewish synagogue, and a Puerto Rican neighborhood. He hasn't yet claimed to identify as a woman, but if polls show him losing ground with the LGBT community, I'm sure that's next. 

     

    There seems to be no limit to his pandering. 

     

    "This November, voters are going to teach Donald Trump a valuable lesson: Don’t mess with the women of America," one of Biden's aides posted on his Twitter account.

     

    Really, Joe? Do you really think that all women share the same political views and will vote in unison against Donald Trump? 

     

    I suppose it makes sense that Biden would think this way since, during a 2020 campaign appearance on "The Breakfast Club" podcast with Charlemagne Tha God, he literally said, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black."

     

    This, of course, is not true. Women, like any other demographic group, have different priorities, ideologies, and policy preferences. In other words, they can think for themselves and make their own informed decisions, wherever those views end up. Does Biden think that women are betraying their gender if they don't vote for him? I wouldn't be surprised. 

     

    It's true that women tend to vote Democrat—particularly young, single women—but Biden might be surprised that, despite his assumption that women are incapable of diversity of thought, they're not necessary voting for him in large numbers. According to a new a Rasmussen Reports survey, Biden has lost some significant ground with women.

    They don’t care. being able to kill babies is more important to them.

    Trump wants to ban ABORTION, IVF, MIFEPRISTONE nationwide and JAIL doctors who provide care.

    yep, agreed. no chance america goes back to a guy that openly tried to overthrow the gov. no one believes his lies anymore. he'll be lucky to lose by 15,000,000 votes.

     

    Hates what now? 

     

    Lyin' Biden has no chance.  They're trying to hide how old he looks, Kammy is a disaster no one wants near the Presidency, inflation is making things worse for everyone and there's no pandemic to sell this time around.  Oh and no one believes J6 was an insurrection anymore.

    When Claypool had Ben he was good.  Chicago was a mess without Claypool.  I dont think he was a fit in Miami with the style of Wr they have.  He very well could be done.  If so he is cut.  There is a none 0 zero chance he bounces back to a productive player in Buffalo.  Stable environment, elite Qb, and an offense being constructed with a player of his skill set in mind.   Add in the targets available with Diggs and Davis gone this is a huge opportunity most likely his last. 

     

    Low risk signing.  Like you said, he was good with a good QB and he joined Miami last year a month after the season started so no off-season, training camp or pre-season with them.  If he's a cancer, you cut him with no repercussions.

    It’s a real shame Keith Partridge is unavailable.  He would have a lot to say.  

     

    Speaking of which, my wife, like most girls of her generation, loved David Cassidy.  Prior to his death, he played a free show at the local casino so I told her about it and we went.  He sang his terrible songs but in-between he would whine about how he didn't become the rock star he wanted to be and this and that.  After the show my wife said "I don't like him anymore."

    So you believe that Trump is responsible for Armenian-Azerbaijan war, the India-Pakistan border crisis of 2019, three separate Israel-Gaza clashes, the Tigray war, and the Ethiopian-Sudan conflict?

     

    I guess we should blame FDR for WWII as well 

     

    Did those conflicts start under Obama, take a break under Trump and restart under Biden?

    DoJ To Charge Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX)

    Hmmm. Cuellar was one of the few Democrats to openly criticize Joe Biden over the border crisis, and narrowly held off a progressive challenger in 2022 over it.

     

    One has to wonder whether that's just coincidental to any indictment that the DoJ produces, especially in this administration.

    I said the same thing to my wife yesterday when I heard the news.

    If Russia succeeds in Ukraine, reconstitutes its military and then invades Latvia, would you support sending US troops to defend it in accordance with Article V?

     

    Even if Russia could reconstitute its army enough (after another year or so of struggling against a non-NATO country) to attempt an invasion of Latvia, yes, I would have to support sending US troops because that's what NATO is there for.  And a big reason why Putin invaded Ukraine, i.e. their pursuit of NATO inclusion.

     

    13 minutes ago, ChiGoose said:

    Russia wasn’t going to invade Ukraine either. Even though the US said they would, Ukraine and others doubted because it would be such a bad decision by Russia. 
     

    Then what happened?

     

    I don’t understand people thinking that Russia is a rational actor making decisions based on considered thought of examinations of the facts. That’s not how it operates. 
     

    As to the revanchism, you just need to listen to Putin himself, “In 2005, Putin called the Soviet collapse “the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century.” In 2008, then-Prime Minister Putin told President George W. Bush, “Ukraine is not even a country.” Soon Russia invaded Georgia and asserted “privileged interests” in the wider region. In 2014 and on a larger scale in 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. In 2022, Putin claimed that prior to President Nursultan Nazarbayev's reign, “Kazakhsnever had statehood.” In 2016, Putin claimed that Russia's border “has no end.”” (Source)

     

    “Firebrand Russian politician Dmitry Medvedev said Tuesday that the Baltics belong to Russia. 

     

    Writing on Twitter, the former Russian Prime Minister referred to Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia as "our" provinces, saying they had "soiled themselves" over Russia's invasion of Ukraine.“ (Source)

     

    Honestly, the idea that Russia doesn’t want to test NATO is just wishcasting at this point. 

     

    Russia invaded Ukraine under Obama.  He didn't under Trump.  He was always going to invade Ukraine again if/when Trump left Office.  You can deny it all you want. 

     

    But believing he's going to invade Latvia is fear-mongering at this point.  He doesn't have the ability.  If he had taken Ukraine in a couple weeks like he predicted, sure, he might have tested NATO.  But after the B word slapping he would have received by the full force of all those NATO countries surrounding him and would have surrendered. 

     

    And if you think he's so irrational, why do you think being defeated in Ukraine would make him stop?

    I don’t understand the confidence that the guy who wants to destroy NATO, wants to resurrect Russian empire, has surrounded himself with sycophants, has killed or removed anyone who challenges him, who massively miscalculated the Ukraine invasion, wouldn’t, upon being triumphant in what he views as a war against the West, push the envelope for the goal he clearly seeks. 
     

    I agree that it would be an incredibly stupid thing to do, but are we willing to risk WWIII on Putin being rational and tethered to reality when the evidence clearly cuts against that?

     

    Again he's struggling against a non-NATO country with minimal NATO help.  He thought it would take a couple weeks and it's year 3 now.  Russia has no chance against NATO and he knows it.

    Right? I mean, just add up the numbers.

     

    The 13 Colonies vs the British Empire.

     

    North Vietnam vs the USA.

     

    Afghanistan vs. the USSR

     

    The Russian Empire vs. the Japanese Empire.

     

    Weaker powers never fight larger ones. Because if they just add up the numbers, they'd realize they're doomed. And there's no point in trying.

     

    Look at Imperial Japan...they realized they couldn't win a war against the US... that's why they didn't bother bombing Pearl Harbor...

     

    How'd that turn out again?

     

    And it was the Germans who bombed Pearl Harbor...
