phypon Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 12 minutes ago, The Frankish Reich said: What is "Nimbra?" Her name is pronounced exactly how it's spelled - Nim-ahh-RA-ta. Sound it out. Presumably you think "Nimbra" was meant as an insult, but I have no idea who or what a "Nimbra" is (I know what a "Nimrod" is, but he didn't call her that), so it makes no sense as an insult. Whatever. Is the point that Biden is old and mangles names? Gotcha. Is the point that he wasn't practicing saying her name over and over again like a mantra until it is burned into his two remaining neurons? I don't see why that's relevant. Is it that her name wasn't mentioned in the prepared text? Yeah, that would be a valid point. So make it. Say Their Names about all the non-George Floyd victims of unjustified police shootings. Other than Breanna and George, I doubt you can come up with one. Let's stop these silly games. Just saying that that is confusing too. Maybe (probably) immigration law should be simpler. Legal or illegal, no gray area. But that Venezuelan killer was in a gray area - authorized to come in and stay, but without valid immigrant or nonimmigrant status. Back in the Reagan amnesty days there was an awful bureaucratic acronym: PRUCOL. For "permanently residing under color of law." Yeah, it's really messy. And it is fair to blame Biden for allowing it to get even messier. Irv himself would recoil in horror at the mess. You talk about playing silly games as you are going off in the weeds and walking down the non-sequitur path talking about George Floyd and Nikki Haley. I think I'll just call you "Lincoln" from now on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, call the rest of us crazy because we expect a bit of respect for a young, brutally murdered, woman and we expect him to at least get her name right. yeah, it's not like as president, he threw out juvenile insults to political enemies and judges. Or purposely mispronounced the VP's name.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that came from the other side. They goaded him to say it. He took their sticky thing and said it, stumbled over it, but said it. Get over it. There's nothing for me to get over, Frank. You brought your thoughts on the burden of Biden having to unravel the DaVinci code of names to me. I'll go back to my initial point, which is that his flubbing of the name of a young lady he doesn't care about, who's death he likely viewed only as politically inconvenient for him, and who won't give a thought about moving forward is indicative of the dog and pony show these things are. That crosses the political spectrum, and for all those R politicians complicit in the clusterf*ck that is the southern border, they are doing the same thing. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westside Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 4 hours ago, Albany,n.y. said: The evidence is there if you watch his speeches . Obviously whatever you are watching, reading, or listening to has sanitizing what he's been saying. Just last week in the middle of a sentence he started slurring incoherently talking gibberish. So you need to expand your news sources and stop saying someone is lying when they are telling the truth. How about this for evidence: in the Carroll deposition he looked at a photo of himself, Ivana, Carroll and her husband at the time and claimed Carroll was Marla Maples, his ex wife. You probably never saw that in your sanitized world. It’s funny how I never seen you admonish biden with his obvious dementia yet you point out one time he made a slip of the tongue. Which , coming from you I don’t believe at all. You are the definition of hypocrite. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 4 minutes ago, B-Man said: That part is true. He clearly viewed it as an 81 year old's marathon. He was gonna linger in the aisle as long as possible, before and after the speech, and then deliver the speech itself at 90 db. Hey, even when you're reading it's hard to do that for over an hour. So he passed that test, which even his critics concede when they are saying he was amped up on stimulants. I used to say that every time Gronk caught a pass, but we still kept losing to them.

The Frankish Reich Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Just now, Westside said: Do you think his fiery demeanor while giving the speech was natural? "Natural?" Well, I think he set about being aggressive, loud, "fiery" to combat all those "sleepy Joe" memes. I see no reason to say he was on amphetamines or anything like that. Maybe a little too much caffeine for the old man at night. I haven't jumped on the "Dr Ronny fed Trump amphetamines" silliness either. They are both career loudmouths. I doubt Biden could do this several times a week, but once or twice a year? Yeah. It wasn't polished either, just loud and aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you retain many names of football players that have names that you've never heard of and don't have friends with the same names. You remember their names because they are good/great players. When you have a major issue that has polarized the country for the last couple of weeks I know you would get her name, LAKEN, correct. You know better than this. Don't devolve into, "but, but, but...it's not on the most popular name list of people with social security numbers in the last "x" years..." Give me a break. Be better. I don't disagree with everything you say. Find some common ground on this one... I agree with this. I think Frank is a very good poster, but this was not his finest work. A few years ago, I was introduced in a professional setting to a lady with three children. She directed her boys to say hello to me, and said "This is Crayden...this is Brayden....and this is Greg.". I was able to recall each name, and address each lad by his name, even while wondering how the **** she came up with Greg. Unorthodox af if you ask me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it didn't "unite the country." The last times we saw the country united: - 2008, after Obama's first election - 2001, after Bush's 9/11 megaphone speech at the Twin Towers site Angry old man > Senile old man. He cleared the bar. He held it together although the rapid fire thing caused him to mess up his words more than once. That's all he cared about. He's right: he's in a much better position this morning than he was yesterday morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) This is going to be so exhausting. Biden is an angry, divisive old man being run by a hateful apparatus that knows their only chance of winning is to turn their half of the country against the other half of the country and pump the get-out-the-vote machine. They can’t do that based on anything this Administration has done, so it will be all about stoking fear and division. On the other side, we have an immature narcissist who isn’t at all serious about winning. He says he is. And maybe he means it. But he’s too busy litigating 2020, taking credit for the vaccines and trolling people on his stupid app that nobody uses to put forth any coherent vision of what he would do to fix this country. Meanwhile, we have Supreme Court Justices being threatened by the President, pro-Hamas protesters blocking motorcades, a gold star father being arrested, leftist congresswomen wearing keffiyehs and right wing congress dressed as clowns. The SOTU last night represents America right now. A divided, angry circus. Edited March 8 by SCBills 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
