Love you Uncle Joe! But you are too old. Time to fade away. We need someone fresh and untainted with a vision for the country. Donât know who he/she is, but I am hoping they step up in the next couple of months. And Cuomo? Are you kidding me? A New York pol? Only if we like losing.
When they get here, we can talk about the fading, mmkay?
âThis is not your fatherâs Republican Party,â Biden told the audience.
Unless, of course, your father is Vladimir Putin.
Go ahead, Joe. Say it. Say, âRepublican âpatriotismâ is a lot of malarkey.â
I am inclined to agree that Biden should not run for Prez. in 2020, but he is a valuable presence in the Democratic Party and an important voice for progressive causes. We should hope that he continues a role as an elder statesman with extraordinary experience and wisdom.
I donât know, my fatherâs Republican Party was the Party of Nixon and Reagan. So they were still getting in bed with hostile foreign regimes to get elected. Now maybe if you said my grandfatherâs Republican party maybe you would get something that wasnât a festering abscess of white resentment and creeping fascismâŚ
The GOP is like the Catholic Church: an institutionally protected playground for the worst offenders that proclaims sanctimoniously its own higher authority.
My fatherâs republican party was the party of Ike. We still have the signed picture somewhere.
All these regressive institutions are fundamentally alike but since being a Repuglican has become a religion, your metaphor is particularly apt I think.
Joe, yes, they certainly did,
However, the statement should be:
âI would never knowingly stand by while any president, Democratic or Republican, sold out this country for their personal enrichment.â
Abandoned? Are you convinced they had American values to begin with? The âAmericanâ values they held and hold are those of Confederate America, IMHO.
Republicans only loyalty is to money and ethnic and religious cleansing. In that order.
Speaking of abandoning American values like keeping the general public safe. The NRA is hammering the Houston Police Chief for suggesting some gun safety. Link to their hammering of him on link below, called âExposing Houston Police Chief Art Acevedoâ . and pretty fucked up to go through the slideshow on the link below and see the 10 folks killed.
Bernie too, right?
The time seperating us from the Eisenhower administration is comparable to the time that seperated the Eisenhower administration from the reign of Queen Victoria. That people have to dig that far back to find a decent Republican administration is pretty solid evidence that the things wrong with our current batch arenât just a recent development.
Joe was making an appearance for Cuomo in his gubernatorial race. Joe isnât âtaintedâ either.
This observation is obvious, replete with dozens of examplesâŚit shoud be repeated every day. Not that those that would benefit from the truth would ever pay attention to the truth.
I tend to think of them as more of a cult although they certainly have the Saint Ronnie worship down.
