President Biden on Monday took aim at former President Trump’s inaction as the Capitol insurrection unfolded on Jan. 6 while he acknowledged that law enforcement had to suffer through “medieval hell” during the attack.
More of this please, Mr. Biden.
I love hearing President Biden utterly brutalizing tfg. Best part is everything he said is true and deserved.
When he wants to he can really hit the nail on its stupid orange-colored head.
“Lacked the courage to act.”
i.e. Yellow Bellied Coward.
Make no mistake, the Dems words being used recently will elicit maximum unhinged behavior from TFG that will subsequently damage the GQP. Then there is the saving democracy part that comes with it. Two birds with one stone.
Yellow from the collar up anyway. Hard to tell the color of the rest of him; it blots out the sun as it goes by.
“We saw what happened: the Capitol Police, the DC Metropolitan Police, other law enforcement agencies were attacked and assaulted before our very eyes. Speared. Sprayed. Stomped on. Brutalized. Lives were lost,” the President said.
“And for three hours, the defeated former President of the United States watched it all happen as he sat in the comfort of the private dining room next to the Oval Office,” Biden said. “While he was doing that, brave law enforcement officers were subject to the medieval hell for three hours, dripping in blood, surrounded by carnage.”
Someday I’m going to take a course in conversational GIF. Might want to travel to a place where it’s the main mode of communication.
“And for three hours, the defeated former President of the United States watched it all…
Keep hammering this point home. Relentlessly.
I suspect his AG signaled that it’s ok to start saying this out loud.
I think actually Joe is kind of famous for not asking people if it’s OK to say a particular thing. If it’s OK with Joe, it’s OK with Joe.
I wuz told that the current president is too old. If that’s the case, what happened?
Lesson 1: invest in popcorn gifs.
“Face to face with a crazed mob that believed the lies of the defeated President, the police were heroes that day. Donald Trump lacked the courage to act,” he said. “The brave women and men in blue all across this nation should never forget that. You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-cop. You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-democracy. You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-America.”
Stunning to see a President making that statement about a former president.
That is going to leave a mark with the expected ranting and raving shortly, if not already.
That’s probably true, and I worked with him when he was VP on veterans issues, but I think for an impending DOJ case, someone might be telling him to hold the jibber until it’s ok to jabber.
Of course. I’m just having my little joke. He’s an old DC hand, and it’s a game he knows well. But another point: I think they try their best for the DOJ and the White House to stay out of each other’s business, as they ought to do in general. Whether they should in this particular moment is a matter of debate but they understand the general principles involved, unlike some defeated former administrations I could name.
Kinda digging the low rumbly tone in Joe’s not-completely-better-yet voice.
Questioning The Former Guy’s manhood is a good slant for Biden to take even though the sheer audacity of the coup attempt and the ongoing struggle to complete its defeat will likely remain one of its more enduring historical characteristics.
Biden spoke. He should now leave any further action to the DOJ and Congress.
But Biden needed to make it clear that he sees the problems that Tramp has created.
