    Get this man the keys to the White House already. This is how a real leader responds.

    The local democratic leaders in these ultra liberal bastions have been stoking the flames for 90 days now. They WANT this in their cities for some reason OR they are too cowardly to do what needs to be done. Rioters are burning down American cities and nobody says a thing for 90 days...now all of a sudden this is Trump's fault?

    I'm not falling for it. Biden is acting like a Russian or Chinese bot with this statement.

    Thank you for sharing this. It's comforting to know that there are still decent people in this country and in positions of power.

    On that note, I'm finding it harder and harder to visit the D&D. Some people I had respect for need to take a pause, examine their hearts and/or study their religious teachings, and ask themselves if this is who and what they really want to be. :(

    This is what Presidential leadership looks like. Not retweeting Q Anon and white nationalists.

    Right. Telling the people that voted for him to be calm and continue to let people that don't agree with you to burn your cities down around you. Very Presidential.

    The reason things are as bad as they are today is because Trump sent in Federal unmarked officers to stir **** up for campaign footage. I would believe it if it came out later that a lot of the agitators are being guided unknowingly by our own federal government as part of a means to discredit the protests as a whole because they're hurting Trump politically. I don't trust the DOJ, DHS, or any other branch run by a Trump crony at this point. They're all self serving crooks who have stained the executive branch with their reckless disregard for the rule of law.

    Well, have you been to Portland or Seattle lately? The cities are not 'burning down' -- not even close. We have a ton of friends in those cities have kept in touch with them, and most people don't even have a sense that this crap is going on in one specific area. I think the MSM (and FOX, sure -- they love this stuff) are doing what media does: if there's an earthquake, and one building falls down, you show as many different camera shots of the fallen building for as many consecutive hours as you can squeeze out of it. Right?

    I'm not saying there's not a problem. I'm not pro-burning or looting, for instance, when that occurs. But rioters are not "burning down American cities."

    On Biden, I actually think the very first part, short and simple, would have been very powerful. I agree with his statements about our current POTUS, but at that point, it became a campaign statement and not a much-needed call for calm and understanding.

    Peace.

    I agree mostly. Chaz was a cluster**** though.

    Any person could anticipate its aftermath

    Lol. Trump wants this violence. Flame baiting as usual.
    All you had to so Joe was condemn this 90 days ago, or hop on the phone to Ted to shut it down because he wouldn't let Trump do it.
    Marxist tactics 101 - blame the other guy for your ****.

    It's funny -- Biden condemns and Trump condones. Yet you think Biden is the bad buy. This is Trump's America, baby.

    We pretty much agree.

    All that stuff is just pretty dumb. I get that it's born of frustration mixed with aspiration for change, but it's just perfect chum for trouble and chaos (which is perfect chum for you-know-who). If the left would just stay home and work on voter registration, they'd be much better off right now.

    Lol.
    Trump sent troops into other cities and it is peaceful for the first time in months.
    The only reason it is still going on in Portland is because they are being enabled by democrat Ted Wheeler.
    The CHAZ in Seattle was shut down so the mob migrated to nearby Portland - where they are STILL free to carry on.
    Smdh.

    Bs. Trump condemned it months ago when he sent troops.
    And this is the first rime Biden has condemned it.
    Coincidentally when the polls are showing a turning tide towards Trump.
    Open your eyes.

    Lol, what a stupid ass post dude. Typical left wing ignorance. Let’s use a dead human in a pic as an argument. You scumbag.

    By the way, Antifa has been rampant in Portland before Obama was even in office. Specifically organizing rallies to taunt police officers and police stations.Good try though. A simple google search would do you wonders!

    Biden had a 3 point bounce after the DNC. Trump had a 3 point bounce after the RNC. Except it was just Biden's post convention bounce reverting to the real difference which is Biden +9%. If the electoral college was less heavily weighted for rural states, then Biden wouldn't need a 9% margin to get an electoral college victory.

    If the election were today it'd look like this based on current polls:[​IMG]

    Biden's policies are popular. Biden's policies are sensible. And most of all, Biden's policies are what will allow us to recover from this disaster of a year and repair the damage done over the last four years.

    He's not letting anyone do anything, he's not actually the President. He's trying to calm tensions, something the actual President has no interest in doing.
