“It’s just shocking. I’ve never seen anything like it,” the president said Monday.
President Joe Biden called the behavior of House Republicans “shocking” on Monday for “walking away from the threat of Russia” for not passing aid for Ukraine.
“The way they’re walking away from the threat of Russia, the way they’re walking away from NATO, the way they’re walking away from meeting our obligations. It’s just shocking. I’ve never seen anything like it,” Biden said in remarks to reporters on the White House lawn.
Biden’s frustrations with House Republicans have increased after the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who died Friday in prison.
The president urged House Republicans to pass aid for Ukraine on Friday, saying, “It’s about time they step up, don’t you think,” instead of going on an extended recess, which he called a “two-week vacation.”
Yeah, “walking away from” is a weird turn of phrase.
And he needs to come right out and say the truth. Just like I think he and all of his surrogates need to start saying right out that Trump is committed treason, that he is a rapist, and that he wants to be a dictator. Hammer those points into voters. “If you vote for Trump, you are voting for a rapist.” And bring the receipts because there are receipts.
But instead they do this milquetoast shit.
Look, I would rather have virtually anyone on the left other than Biden, but it looks like we’re stuck with Biden. Now we need to convince the campaign to stop this shit and put their big boy pants on.
Absolutely blows my mind how milquetoast this statement from Biden is. Like, we’re at the precipice of authoritarianism and only months away from what could very well be our last free and fair election, and this is the best the democrats can do?
“I’ve never seen anything like it.” Says Biden.
Yes, yes you have Biden, we fought wars over this same thing. It’s taught in history class.
How is it possible that we all know where this is headed and our politicians and media are still acting surprised?
The worst thing he can do is act like a kindly old grandpa. So that’s exactly what he does.
Meanwhile, Trump says things like “this motherfucker…”
when you’re a democratic politician every election year either you win or your stock portfolio does. they have absolutely no skin in the game, no one is taking their rights, no one is holding rallies to deport them or have them all declared child molesters. it’s a game to them. it has been since forever, and it was never more evident than when Hillary Clinton gambled with our prosperity and lost by elevating Donald Trump thinking that she could use the threat of his presidency to motivate democratic voters without having to actually give us anything.
Biden’s not on the left, democrats are not the left.
They’ve worked hard to maintain the oligarchic status quo furthering the corruption and rot that have led to the current populist/fascist movements.
🙄 You know what I mean.
