President Biden withdraws from his reelection bid

[msslave]

Today President Biden announced he's withdrawing from the race. He's throwing his support to his VP, Kamala Harris.

This sets the stage for a chance of having our first woman president.

With all the anti women attacks by Republicans I would hope this will create a strong voting block for VP Harris. The outcome of this election is vital for women's rights.

If a Saudi sketch proves that Biden's an international joke, then Trump must be a massive international joke - even in non-Arab countries!

Msslave I truly love you as a friend, brother and sort of mentor, but I have to disagree with you there. There is no "Anti-woman" sentiment in the republican party. The Roe v. Wade issue was just returned to the states to choose as it should have been. Even Justice RBG wrote that it was bad law, taking away the autonomy of the states right to vote on something. It is a risk of having a system like ours where things can be voted on or out. I support abortion in the extreme cases of rape, incest, and loss of viability or if during the gestation it is determined that it will not survive and life of the mother. I do not support abortion for those who neglect to due their due diligence in protecting themselves. To me it shows a very distinct and dangerously neglectful lack of responsibility to get rid of something just because you could not or did not want to take a second longer to prepare yourself for sex.

You speak of attacks on women, and yet you tip toe around the fact that Title IX is being ripped to shreds. I have no problem with the Trans community, I have a problem with the hard fought rights of natural born women to have their own sports, and their own areas being forced to share it with biological men. I believe if a trans person wants to change out in a ladies locker room, get the surgery. I hold no animosity to the Trans community in whole. I hold animosity towards the individuals that forced my wife and daughters to have to drive home after a work out to shower and change because of the dangly bits on full display making them naturally and rightfully uncomfortable. So if trump and biden are jokes, then America as a whole is the whole damned comedy tour.

I pretty much agree with all you said. I'm somewhat lax in my posts and just skim over the details. I have so much trouble typing my posts due to my arthritis.

I've made some long detailed posts in the past only to lose them before I get them posted

That's why my posts are usually short and generic.

Umm...the other sketch comes from Italy. As a matter of fact, the Italians made several sketches about Biden.

you are A okay, my friend. Its just I don't buy into both parties talking points that have been regurgitated so much that the entire populations of baby birds are fed for years. If a party was really "Anti-woman" they would not even have a leg to stand on with over half of the population. The values have changed, and shifted to where we are even denying hundreds of years of proven science. When a Justice can't even define her own sex, then that is a problem. Do you know how dumb that makes us look to the world. Even the most woke countries in the world can define what a woman is. Changing the vernacular to appease a minority of the population is wholly against the ideals of our republic. "Birthing persons" is derogatory no matter how anyone tries to frame it. I degenerates the sacred act of a woman, debasing it down to a meaningless concept. The act of carrying and bearing a life is wholly beautiful and truly a miracle. So no, you are fine as you are, Ms. Slave, I understood you loud and clear. I just cant truck being painted with a broad stroking brush. Me? Anti-woman? No, more like "Anti- nonsense."

Slave, you owe no apology for posting your thoughts. I don't think Writer was calling you out but merely countering with his opinions.
Take care my friend.

There's always talk of a third party. I propose "Anti Nonsense/Pro Common Sense. I nominate you, Writer as our first Presidential Candidate.

Well.... If I must, I will gladly accept, and nominate you as my running mate. Either you, or PH.

Yeah, if a man owns nothing in life, one of his personal treasures is his right to his own opinion. I was not even mad, I am sitting here at work listening to coworkers who decided that my corner office is the "congregate and rabble" zone in the form of micro meetings that serve no purpose but to get everyone out of their offices for a few moments. Not decided by me, but the higher ups. I left my opinion and suggestion in the box about how to increase productivity, and I was politely told to shove it. If they want us out of the office, let us take walks when we are not slammed. I mean they put in a fucking garden in between the buildings. Not a better cafeteria, but a fucking garden you only see twice a day, unless you have an office overlooking it. So yeah, Ms. Slave not mad, just annoyed by outside forces beyond my limited control.

Hmmm...can you sneak in at night and plant a few carrots.

I am a large figured man, my stomach is shrinking but I stand at 6'9 389 pounds, sneaking is so far out of my abilities that even Ray Charles can see me coming. I planted rain lilies from my dads yard and a mulberry tree from mine. It's "supposed" to be for the employees to relax in, and work on lunches and breaks for our mental health. I am also growing blueberries, and if no one claims the spot next to mine, I will be planting peanuts.

Both of them are (were, I suppose, since Biden finally did the decent thing).

I think most of the world can't believe that the most powerful nation on Earth had 350,000,000-odd people to chose from and the best two you could come up with was those two.

I will have no comment on this (or any other) political topic this season. As Robert Frost one said, “I’ve lived long enough to learn one thing about life. It goes on.“ I will be voting. But I have never seen anyone change another’s opinion about anything in this forum, or any other, after yelling at one another about political subjects. My doctors have told me to avoid “stress and anxiety.” That means avoiding politics this year.

Wishing you all the best.

This is exactly what keeps the fires of hope burning in my chest for humanity. If more people were like you, the world wold be a better place.

Take care my friend.

I agree with and enthusiastically upvoted Staci's post.

The good news is that comedy sketches in Saudi Arabia or Italy showing that "they" think about President Biden are aggressively moot. Nor will they in any way affect the 2024 presidential election.

Actually, yeah, the foreign perspective matters. America is the big kid on the block. World War 2 proved the need to use treaties to contain certain countries and uplift others to advance the containment. It is so much easier to negotiate a treaty from a position of strength. During the 1980's, England had this TV show (I think the title was Spitting Image) where these muppets viciously parodied the royals and President Reagan. If you see the Phil Collins video for Land of Confusion, there is a line in the song "Superman, where you now?" While we hear that we see Reagan (in the video) in a Superman suit being super.

Trump is an isolationist (I think this is dangerous) but Biden clearly lacked the energy and vision to create a treaty. The recently inked AUKUS treaty relies heavily on a Japan/Taiwan/South Korea/Australia alliance to contain China and these countries have taken it upon themselves to work together because of a lack of US leadership.

So, we have gone from other countries regarding a US President as Superman in 1986 to a doddering old fool in 2024 who can't complete a sentence without falling asleep.

You're basing your opinion of the international view of the U.S. on a British TV show from the 1980s and a pop band's music video from that same time period  (which was almost 40 years ago). That's a spectacular poor basis to make judgements.

Meanwhile -- speaking of "falling asleep" -- you see to have been asleep for the four years between January 2017 and January 2021.
