Country Wisdom on Joe Biden

ThatOwlWoman said:
Yeah. Simple-minded, boring, forgetful, tell the same old joke or story 101 times, easy prey for scammers and Fox "News," dazzled by a TV game show host-turned-IMPOTUS.

BTW, your glorious leader has no pets and does not like dogs.

He doesn't really need a dog. He doesn't really have the time to take care of a dog in a loving and nurturing way.

That said, though, he does treat the White House Press corp like a malevolent cat owner with a laser pointer who enjoys watching his victims run into walls at full speed.

Every time Jim Acosta starts talking, I start listening for the sickening, furry thud.

You're right. Obsessively watching Fox, CNN, MSNBC, etc. for hours each day, while guzzling cheeseburgers and fries, would make it difficult to care for anything other than himself, of course. Interesting though how the prior WH occupants were far busier, yet had time for a dog as well.

But sure, continue the excuses. You will fit in well here with the rest of the #TRE45ON apologists!

While suturing up a cut on the hand of a 70 year old Virginia farmer, a Doctor struck up a conversation with the old man.

Eventually, the topic got around to Joe Biden and his possible role as our President.

The old farmer said, "Well, yah know, Biden is a "Post-Turtle".

Not being familiar with term, the doctor asked him, what a post-turtle was.

The old farmer, said "When your driving down a country road, and you come across a fence post, with turtle balanced on top, that is a Post-Turtle.

The farmer saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain.

"You know he didn't get up there by himself,
he doesn't belong up there,
he doesn’t know what to do while he's up there,
he has been elevated beyond his ability to function,
and you wonder just what kind of dumb-ass put him up there to begin with!"

And that about sums up the 2020 situation!

It is an old saw, but a good 'un...

That was wisdom to Repubs? That old saw fits Trump, not Biden. Biden has a long history in politics and has been in the Whitehouse 8 years with Barack.
 
I'll just leave this here.

"There is no literature or poetry in this White House. No music. No Kennedy Center award celebrations.

"There are no pets in this White House. No loyal man’s best friend. No Socks the family cat. No kids’ science fairs.

"No times when this president takes off his blue suit-red tie uniform and becomes human, except when he puts on his white shirt-khaki pants uniform and hides from Americans to play golf.

"There are no images of the first family enjoying themselves together in a moment of relaxation. No Obamas on the beach in Hawaii moments, or Bushes fishing in Kennebunkport, no Reagans on horseback, no Kennedys playing touch football on the Cape. I was thinking the other day of the summer when George H couldn’t catch a fish and all the grand kids made signs and counted the fish-less days. And somehow, even if you didn’t even like GHB, you got caught up in the joy of a family that loved each other and had fun.

"Where did that country go? Where did all of the fun and joy and expressions of love and happiness go? We used to be a country that did the ice bucket challenge and raised millions for charity. We used to have a president that calmed and soothed the nation, instead of dividing it. And a First Lady that planted a garden instead of ripping one out. We are rudderless and joyless. We have lost the cultural aspects of society that make America great. We have lost our mojo. Our fun, our happiness. The cheering on of others. The shared experiences of humanity that make it all worth it. The challenges AND the triumphs that we shared and celebrated. The unique can-do spirit Americans have always been known for. We have lost so much In so short a time." ~ Elayne Griffin

The Never Trumper brigade is precious in their unflinching dismissal of EVERYTHING being done.

Two more Middle East Peace deals come to mind.

What is it with you guys. Out of curiosity, how does one "guzzle" a cheeseburger? I had one last night and I had to chew it.

Very well said. Imagine Trump playing ball with Barron, does he ever golf with his sons?

Only as adults.

Many decades ago I worked with a woman who in her younger years had been a nanny for a wealthy family in Europe, Germany I believe. Their two children had their own small home on the estate next to the grand mansion. When they wanted to see their children, the parents would ring her to bring them up to the house. She would get them dressed in their finest, like going to church, and take them to their parents. They would sit in the parlor or living room or whatever it was called and chat about their lessons and what their upcoming travel plans were, then she would take them back to their house again. She accompanied them on trips, got to see a lot of the world that way. Again though, the children were kept separate from the parents wherever they stayed.

It's hard for a typical American or non-wealthy person to understand that way of life, but it sounds like something done in the Trump dynasty, doesn't it? That "glamor shot" photo of the Toadstool, Melania, and Barron posing in the gilded room speaks volumes. He is posed away from the parents, on a toy lion, with limos and a sports car toys at his feet.

They are disgusting unAmerican people who would be royalty if they could.

I can’t imagine not personally interacting with my family. Why have children, I guess it’s a status thing?

An article in today's Times lists causes for Johnson's apparent depression, amongst which is the fear that, on a mere £150,000 a year, he may not be able to afford a nanny. Poor old bugger might have to see his children in their natural state, the whole football team, should they ever meet!

I think it has more to do with inheritance and passing along the family genes and fortune. I can't imagine giving birth, then handing over my child to be cuddled, fed, loved, and raised by someone else. I wonder if that's why the Trump spawn seem to have little to no empathy.

Maybe when we get rid of the shitgibbon in our White House, they can buy a mansion together. lol

I don't like a few things about Trump, like the excessive tweets, but overall, he's doing a great job under illegal and unfair opposition that no other President has faced. The One thing that stands out about Trump, he loves America, and is truly concerned for the common people, not just the rich donar class.

And he handled Covid19 really well.

Note the two opposing positions in his comment. He may never even see the kids but he'll be a good father. :palm:

“The way I look at it, there’s nothing like a good marriage,” Donald Trump said in an interview with Larry King in May 2005, shortly after his marriage to Melania and a little less than a year before the birth of his youngest son. “And there’s nothing like having children. If you have the money, having children is great. Now I know Melania, I’m not gonna to be doing the diapers, I’m not gonna be making the food, I may never even see the kids. She’ll be an unbelievable mother. I’ll be a good father.”

He was right, but the sad thing, I think Barron is happy with that arrangement, that he’s Melania’s son as Trump once called him.
