A list of 11 ways that Joe Biden is destroying America by Victor Davis Hanson

The picture he paints resonates with the right, but that particular lens is clouded.

Copilot has a good critique:
(I don't have time)

Border Policies: The phrase "wipe out a 2,000-mile border" likely criticizes border management policies. The Biden administration has emphasized a more humane approach to immigration, focusing on addressing root causes of migration, investing in smart border security technology, and creating pathways for legal immigration and asylum-seeking, rather than erasing borders.

National Debt: While national debt levels have increased, attributing the entirety of the $35 trillion debt to any single administration overlooks the cumulative nature of the debt, driven by decades of policy decisions across multiple administrations. Economic strategies under Biden, like the American Rescue Plan, aim to stimulate economic recovery with a long-term view towards sustainable growth, which can contribute to debt management.

Foreign Policy with Adversaries: The approach to countries like Iran and China is often framed in terms of diplomacy and strategic competition rather than appeasement or subsidization. The Biden administration advocates for engaging with international adversaries through diplomacy to prevent conflict, address global challenges like climate change, and compete economically in a way that promotes global stability.

Identity Politics: The argument about redefining identity to tribal affiliations oversimplifies the administration's efforts to acknowledge and address systemic inequalities. Policies aiming to enhance social justice and equity recognize the diverse experiences of Americans, seeking to ensure equal opportunities for all, rather than dividing society along tribal lines.

Crime and Social Justice: Framing efforts to understand the root causes of crime as justification for violence misrepresents policy positions. The administration has sought to balance criminal justice reform—addressing issues like sentencing disparities and police reform—with support for law enforcement and community safety initiatives.

Military Standards: Modernizing the military includes ensuring that it represents the diversity of the country it serves, with the belief that diversity strengthens the armed forces. Promotions and commendations are based on a range of criteria, including merit, leadership, and operational effectiveness, not solely on demographic characteristics.

Justice System Reform: Allegations of using the justice system against political opponents overlook the independence of the judiciary and the legal standards guiding investigations and prosecutions. Efforts at justice reform focus on fairness, reducing recidivism, and addressing systemic issues within the criminal justice system.

State, Media, and Surveillance: Concerns about the fusion of government power with media and surveillance technologies are critical in any democracy. The Biden administration has emphasized the importance of press freedom, transparency, and privacy protections, even as it navigates challenges like misinformation and national security.

Energy Policy: The transition toward renewable energy sources aims to address climate change and create sustainable energy solutions, not to wage war on fossil fuels. Policies encourage investment in clean energy to reduce dependence on oil and gas, aiming for a balance between environmental sustainability and energy affordability.

Social Trends: Statements on personal life choices, such as when to marry, do not reflect official policy. Government policies may seek to support families and individuals across a variety of life choices, but they do not prescribe personal decisions like marriage timing.

Higher Education: Characterizing universities as indoctrination centers simplifies the role of higher education. While debates about academic freedom and campus culture are valid, the administration supports accessible, high-quality education that prepares students for a diverse and changing world, encouraging critical thinking and innovation.

 

Yes, there are evil people on both sides, that's why the public knows
the best option is Trump, who isn't owned by either side.

 

Trump is not owned by either side. That is true. Despite all of the lies, the Russia hoax was just that, a hoax.

As for Biden, no one knows for sure who owns him. We know the Chinese have chunk of him because of the money Hunter collected. The Russians might have him too, despite his Ukraine policy. Hunter did get a cool million from the Mayor of Moscow.

 

Putin owns him.

 

And how many of his wives were immigrants too?

 

Yeah, he's not owned by either party but he's foreign owned and operated. They own his "markers".

 

Keep on quoting fiction. You got it to work for a while during Trump's first term, but the people know better now. That old dog doesn't hunt any more.

 

Keep on posting nonsense while wearing the ignorance invisible cloak of denial. Trump's foreign owned and operated....Russia, El Saud, Turkey and China, he's beholden to all of them.

 

Show us the checks and bank transfers from those countries to Trump because Comer has already shown you the bank transfers and checks to Biden.

 

I love the "paying your debt is illegal" argument. No wonder you guys love Trump!

The deep state is indeed terminally corrupt. Note the actions of Brazil, Scotland and Ireland in the past few weeks. Note the actions of the Democratic party in prosecuting their political enemies. We are sleep walking our way into dystopia.

 

Focus Steve N, you quoted my post and head dived into deflection and Comer conspiracy doge dung. Under every rock near Agent Oranges one finds a Russian or Russian American cut off. It's widely documented.

 

Wasn't one of the backers of Truth Social, who helped pump up the stock prices before it fell, Russian? Wasn't he related to a Russian oligarch?

 

“1. Wipe out a 2,000-mile border.
Allow 10 million foreign nationals to enter unlawfully. Have no audit of any; nullify all federal immigration laws. Let in toxic drugs that kill 100,000 Americans a year. Give free support to those millions who broke the law. Smear any objectors as racists and xenophobes.”

Neither side has impressed me with their border policy. The left are too soft on illegal immigration while the right is ineffectual at seriously addressing the problem and implementing effective policies. Both sides disappoint me here.

“
2. Run up $35 trillion in national debt.
Keep adding $1 trillion to it each 100 days. Defame anyone wishing to cut wild spending as cruel and inhumane.”

Both sides run up debt, thus both sides disappoint me.

“
4. In a multiracial democracy, redefine identity only as one’s tribal affiliation.
Ensure each identity group rivals the other for victimhood and the state spoils it confers. Reboot all political issues by race and sex oppressors and oppressed. Destroy all meritocratic standards of admission, retention, promotion and commendation.”

Both sides pander to their base, play the victim card and participate in identity politics. I dislike it in both.

“11. Turn world-class universities into indoctrination centers.
Suspend the Bill of Rights on campuses. Train youth to graduate despising their own culture and civilization. Recruit foreign students from hostile nations to subsidize campus commissar bloat. Replace the curriculum with therapeutic propaganda. Ban the SAT/ACTand do not evaluate comparative high school GPAs. Ensure merit does not select the student body. Charge tuition higher than the rate of inflation. Bill the government when students default on their loans.”

Liberal and conservative colleges indoctrinate. When the side we like indoctrinates we call it a good education. Not sure how Biden is to blame for any of this?

The article makes some good points, but is from a source that I do not respect. The article is red meat for right wing partisans oblivious as to how their side is part of the problem. I am more interested in what the problem is while partisans seem more interested in blaming the other side while taking no responsibility themselves.

 

And also related to Comer's Russian Biden "witness". @grapeape posted a video you should watchabout DJT Media. I forget which thread it's in but I tagged @grapeape so hopefully he can post it here.

 

Still no checks or bank transfers, just accusations with absolutely zero proof.

 

Your Comer wish strawman is not going to disprove documented fact, Comer wishes he had Joe Biden facts but he has bollocks....small ones like Agent Oranges hence under every rock near Agent Oranges....

We don't need the CO2, but I think the plants do.

 

here you go,

Which explains why he prefers to keep Biden in office?

 

I can see that point, but I'm not fully convinced because Biden
and the neocons can use any enemy or war as a distraction,
just as G W Bush started a series of disasters to keep the public
from complaining about him and eventually even got a second
term.

Biden is also trying to stir up trouble with China, whom
we have long accepted through our One-China Policy, is
overall the heir to Taiwan.

And Biden (meaning the Biden Administration cabal) have
other distractions in other countries including a great big one
where we are officially supporting genocide in Gaza.

They don't need the war in Ukraine any more.

 

True, plants must have CO2 and the more the merrier. We do not need nor want CO2 (other than in soft drinks!). My point was CO2, like water vapor and droplets, is a natural ubiquitous part of the atmosphere and calling it crap is the same as calling water vapor (a much more powerful greenhouse gas) crap and is abominably stupid.

There have been times in the ancient geological past when CO2 concentration was magnitudes greater than it is today without an attendant increase in global temperature.

 

CO2 is 0.04% of the atmosphere. Argon is 0.92% of the atmosphere.

The alarmists point to the fact that the CO2 percentage has doubled since the Industrial Revolution began.

 

0.92%, that's more than the CO2

Democrats need to ban something so they should ban MIG welders.
