Joe Biden’s speech in Philadelphia on Thursday night was un-American and a disgrace to the office of the president. The substance of the speech was divisive and hateful to American citizens. The optics of the event were even worse.
"Some people might see this as small ball" but "if you don't want the so-called MAGA Republicans or any Republicans to be politicizing the military... then you shouldn't do it yourself"
Instead of being humble and conceding their mistakes, they attack voters for thinking of voting against them while overlooking the myriad catastrophes they presided over. They often blame their opponents for what they are guilty of — bigotry, violence — and then end with the "soul" plea.
Last night, the same president who almost exactly a year ago disgracefully abandoned 14,000 Americans and tens of thousands of our allies to the Taliban decided to lecture the US on “the continued battle for the soul of the nation.” Let that sink in for a moment or two.
We saw Joe Biden demonizing the opposition, and attacking millions of Americans during a primetime national speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in a completely despicable speech. It was a shocking and dangerously divisive speech, capping off a week of similar attacks.
Biden can't call for unity while denouncing fellow citizens as enemies.

investigative team's review of the evidence so far.
Cannon at a hearing on Thursday indicated she intended to release the documents. She did so after giving both the prosecutors and former President Donald Trump's lawyers the opportunity to lodge any objections to the documents' release. They did not.
Prosecutors wrote in the investigative team status report that was unsealed that "all evidence pertaining to the seized items -- including, but not limited to, the nature and manner in which they were stored, as well as any evidence with respect to particular documents or items of interest -- will inform the government's investigation."
"The investigative team has reviewed the seized materials in furtherance of its ongoing investigation, evaluating the relevance and character of each item seized, and making preliminary determinations about investigative avenues suggested or warranted by the character and nature of the seized items," the status report said.
"The seized materials will continue to be used to further the government's investigation, and the investigation will continue to use and evaluate the seized materials as it takes further investigative steps, such as through additional witness interviews and grand jury practice," the Justice Department added.

His ignorant rhetoric was damn insulting.
These were not just broad, evidence-free allegations.
He came with receipts: Trump and his allies’ refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election, the effort to install election deniers to key positions across America, the celebration of the violence on Jan. 6, the threats to election workers, FBI agents and other bureaucratic targets, the widespread adoption and fanning of ludicrous conspiracy theories. These are all undeniable features of a segment of the modern GOP — what Biden has labeled “MAGA Republicans.”
That was the threat-to-democracy part of the speech. But there were a few more threads woven together that made the overall address a lot more complicated.
SECOND, there was a more traditional attack on Republican policies.
“MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards, backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love,” Biden said. “They promote authoritarian leaders, and they fanned the flames of political violence that are a threat to our personal rights, to the pursuit of justice, to the rule of law, to the very soul of this country.”
The first sentence is about the judicial philosophy of the conservative legal movement that long predates Trump. The second sentence is at the heart of concerns about democratic backsliding. The White House has been previewing this theme for a while now: tying long-standing conservative policies to the new anti-democratic impulses coursing through the Trump movement.
He was exactly correct 👏
Up until last night I accepted this fucking asshole as my president.
No longer.
The fucking piece of shit delivered the most insulting and disgusting speech ever delivered by an American president. And he had the unmitigated gall to do it on hallowed ground - Independence Hall.
There's not a dimes worth of difference between his rhetoric from last night, and the rhetoric FDR used to justify the internment of American's in cages.
The fucking shit stain declared war on fully half of the American people last night.
So be it.
Roger...
Not sure I can allow hate speech on my blog.
You might want to think about how hateful you have become and whether or not you wish to remain in the company of your enemies.
Which quite obviously you see me and other conservatives as your enemies. Following the lead of your President.
Perhaps the Legacy blog is where you can spew your Hitler inspired hate and brand those who disagree with you vile names and tell everyone over there how horrible people who disagree with you are.
Up until last night I accepted this fucking asshole as my president.
I have to sort of agree. He obviously doesn't want to be President of the entire Country.
He wants to be President to just the slobbering hateful spiteful mean spirited and bigoted far left crazy extremists who literally believes this spiteful rhetoric is good for the country!

He said as much, straight up.
He only wants to be the president of the parasites, scumbags, takers, violent criminals, green asshats and welfare recipients. Oh, and the alky's.
If the nation erupts into a hot civil war, let us note the fact that the war was declared by an angry, senile, dementia patient on the steps of Independence Hall on the evening of 09/01/2022.

Trump said that he would pardon them.

Republicans are in a rage over President Biden’s speech in Philadelphia, in which he flatly declared that the American democratic experiment is in serious danger due to Donald Trump and the Republicans who remain allied with his political project.

So here’s a question for those Republicans: What exactly in Biden’s speech was wrong?
Many objections have been general: Republicans say his speech disparaged millions, that it was angry, or divisive, or political, or hateful, or depicted Republicans as the enemy.
In coming days, these Republicans will retreat into right-wing media safe spaces to fulminate without facing cross-examination. But when they venture into mainstream forums, they should be pressed on specifics.
Let’s take Biden’s most fundamental claim about the MAGA-fied GOP and democracy:
Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic.
Biden elaborated:
MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people. They refuse to accept the results of a free election.
Some Republicans insist they do respect the Constitution and the rule of law. But Biden carefully distinguished between MAGA and non-MAGA Republicans, casting only the former in these terms
Gee Roger...
They were in an official secured facility (according to White House documents) and guarded by Secret Service, surveillance, and even secret service approved locks.
Not like they were on a random unsecured server sitting in someone's bathroom that got hacked more times than the Fortnite site.
Hey Denny...
If someday Rat becomes the President of the United States, then I might suggest to him that he become a little more careful in his insults as it pertains to Americans as a whole. You know, because he would probably make me chief of staff.
But right now he is just insulting to a handful of people like you on a random blog and he doesn't wish to put Democrats in encampments or believe they are evil. Probably thinks most of you are stupid, but stupid is as stupid does!
So it's Republicans who oppose the constitution and rule of law hmm? Was it Republicans who...
Want to change the constitutional electoral college process
Want to pack the court
Want to eliminate the filibuster
Want to allow Supreme Court justices and their families to be harassed in their own homes
Want to chase their own senators into the bathroom because she didn't vote the way she was told
If democrats want a civil war, they will get one if they don't stop their shit
They were in an official secured facility (according to White House documents) and guarded by Secret Service, surveillance, and even secret service approved locks.
HORSE SHIT....YOU HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA WHA A SECURED FACILTY IS......YOU SAYING SO IS ONCE AGAIN INDICATIVE OF YOUR NAIVAITE OF THE CLASSIFIED WORLD.......!!!!!! THERE IS NO COMPARISON OF THE DATA LOST BY TRUMP VERSUS THE BS OF HILLARY. NONE!!!!!
Biden just made a big mistake. He just took the spotlight off Trump and onto him. That's bad for democrats. And he passed off tens of millions of Republicans and independents. That's also bad for democrats.

Fuck you alky. You have no idea what I believe. You're a small thinker who pulls this shit regularly with Scott and myself from your locked-down perch in a psychiatric hospital.
Trump said that he would pardon them.
That's a flat-out lie.
Trump said he would consider pardons and would carefully examine each case independently of others.
One thing's for sure, Trump wouldn't have locked them in a DC gulag indefinitely even if they did oppose him politically. That level of violent fascism is exclusive to the left.
When do FDR's internment camps make a comeback alky? You guys know you want to.

I agree with RRB.
"Up until last night I accepted this fucking asshole as my president.
No longer."
Biden went full in batching Socialist.
You are right Denny..
No comparison.
None of the Presidential records Trump brought with him and secured in Mar-a-Lago under Secret service installed lock and key storage locker with Secret Service and surveillance.
Was actually missing or was taken by anyone.
It was proven that Hillary's server was hacked to death while she stored classified documents and conducted official State business.
But then again... other than playing realm of the mad god on your gaming PC in your mother's basement... you don't know much about computers!
Biden is targeting conservatives like Hitler targeted Jews.
The "extreme" MAGA agenda:
- Secure borders.
- Fair elections
- Energy independence
- Tough on crime
- Save babies
- Stop genital mutilation of kids
- Put parents first
- School choice
- Protect constitutional rights
- Put America First.
What part sounds extreme to you?
- Bring manufacturing home
- Pro-family policies
- Better trade deals
- Enforce anti-trust laws and stop corporate monopolies
- Fight government corruption
- Stop funding endless wars
- Fix social security
What part of this extreme MAGA agenda is a threat to democracy?

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! WHAT A PILE OF HORSE SHIT..JUST LIKE IT WAS A SECURED FACILITY WITH COMPLETE PUBLIC ACCESS!!!!!!!!B. SAD YOU HAVE SUCH PROBLEMS WITH COGENT THOUGHT AND LOGIC!!!!!!
Trump said that he would pardon them.
Roger...
You do realize that according to polling on the subject, close to 60% of the public would support full pardons for anyone charged with a "non-violent" crime associated with Jan 6th.
Would but the amount of charges by about 2/3rds.
Just because you are part of the hateful minority who believes that our country can be taken over by a few dozen angry people with bear spray and flagpoles (no accounting for stupid) and that just "being there" meant that you wanted to "hang Mike Pence" or something.
You really think that speech helped Democrats last night?
Sure Denny...
Trump's private residence guarded by personal security and Secret Service was "open to the public" and anyone could just wander on down to that Secret Service installed locked storage area and just go right in...
Maybe you figure the Secret Service opened the storage area for complete strangers too? Because, well... they don't care about their jobs.
Whatever you say, sport!
Go take your meds!

Roger, there is no "Soft Landing" in Bidenomics.
Who said so. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell.
Powell “there’s no guarantee that we can do that.”
The "that" is a soft landing.
Tonight, Joe Biden said, "This is a nation that respects free and fair elections. We honor the will of the people. We do not deny it."
Here’s 10 minutes of Democrats denying election results:

The dumb fuck is either a liar, or he doesn't remember his own speech from last night.
Or likely BOTH.
Scott and Balls only about 10% of the U.S. population — plus or minus a few percentage points — favor of the positions of what President Biden called last night.
You really are tiny percent of Republicans
No Roger...
Those who would vote for Trump literally outnumber those who would vote for Hate... as you would.
They outnumber you and your hate by millions.
There are a very wide majority of those of us who still love the country, the constitution, the declaration of independence, and the actual rule of law.
You are in the minority.
Deal with it!!!
So last night Biden gave a political speech declaring war on half the country and did it in sinister red lighting and the US marines behind him. And did it all at independence hall. SNL could not fuck it up this many ways.
He just motivated republican AND independent voters. That ignorant asshole.
Roger pretends Biden was calling out an extreme minority but that's not what he said. We all heard what he said. There's a reason why he is now trying to walk it back idiot Roger.
An Interesting and accurate take on the Biden speech is taking hold...that he looked a little like Hitler in that speech.
Hey Roger...
You have already spammed the legacy blog with the repeated stories about classified documents?
Do you actually believe that nobody her has heard about the FBI raid and need to be told 20 times a day about it by you?
The fact that you appear to be clinically obsessed with the story doesn't mean the rest of are.
C.H. Truth
I was coming to talk about the speech and well...so I got up, did stuff and when I came back -- the universe I suppose -- I saw something you said and just like that my mood lifted. You're my favorite person until somebody else takes your spot.
Anyway. Biden's speech was passive-aggressive trash. For a better person that could have been an opportunity to speak to our better angels and show America what empathy and compassion looks like.
2020 was hell, voting that year was chaotic, and well Trump certainly made a bad situation worse. America has a punitive culture, so of course some of them must be punished. A true statesman, patriot and good human being would call for understanding, compassion and a bipartisan effort to create a more secure and verifiable voting system throughout the country.
I'm just done. Honestly, I feel stuck in the middle of a bunch of stupid people screaming at each other -- "I'm right, you're wrong! I'm good, you're evil!" None of them are completely any of those things. What's right for one is wrong for another. What's good for one is evil for another. We're just all different -- and just unable to see things the way other people see them.
Anyway. People are stupid. Some of us are fortunate enough to know we're stupid and try harder not to be. And some of us are too stupid to see that we are in fact, stupid. So, I quit. God didn't need my help creating the world so he doesn't need my help in directing it in the way he wants it to go. He gave me one task -- to try to be the best I can be.
I deleted enough to fill a book.
I was away the last two days having surgery. I listned to the President's speech flat of my back on the radio (I coukld not watchy it).
If you want to talk about slobbering, violent hate speech, all you have to do is read the first several comments on this thread
especially from Ch-off-the-rails- and rrb, also off the rails.
Lol lol lol.
On local radio, they tried to say Biden's speech was intended to instigate.
I don't remember him suggesting that if the Dems lose the next presidential election, he would want armed mobs to march to the capitol and try to shut down the electoral process of counting the actual votes even if it meant hanging the vice president in charge of performing that purely ceremonial duty.
No, I don't remember him saying anything like that.
When a Democratic president identifies an individual and his followers as an enemy that can no longer be tolerated, that’s a truly world-changing BFD. That means that as the people’s partisan – as the tribune of Democrats, independents, “mainstream Republicans,” everyone – that he represents a political reaction to that enemy.
That reaction is the end of an era.
And the beginning of a new one.
Hey, Ch, concerning your thread picture caption: Hate to tell you, but half of America, the half that really counts, did not vote for Trump.
Six million more voted for Biden.
You can't fake six million paper ballots.
Pretty well said Perfect and Humble....
There are many Germans today who wish that at a certain time all pastors and priests, Catholic and Protestants, had climbed into all the pulpits of Germany to tell the German people that no Christian and no true, decent German patriot could vote for Adolph Hitler or it would turn out to tragic for Germany...
We have reached that point in America.
We must resist the attempt of the extreme right to do away with democracy.
The German people later wished they had.
