Biden under increasing media spotlight for lack of news conferences

He has answered questions, just not in a formal press conference

 

And you still cannot tell me why some words are "bad" and some are not.

Why do you allow others to dictate which words are ok and which are not? It is not like you came up with the list yourself, you were told those words are bad.

If someone says "fricken" instead of "f u c k", they mean the same damn thing in the mind of the person saying them, yet according to you one is good and one is bad. Makes no sense at all.

And yes, words are important, so again why do you allow people to tell you which ones to use and which to not use?

 

Yes, Trump had given one FORMAL press conference and then did not give another one for 300 days.

You were a part of this board during that 300 days, I assume we can find post from you attacking Trump for going so long without a FORMAL press conference?

I mean, you are not just a partisan sheep attacking the other side for what you gave your side a free pass on, are you?

 

It's not up to me to tell you right from wrong. If you don't know maybe it is just too late. I can describe my own morals and where I derive them, but I don't think that is warranted now.

Yes, I believe you are correct. Just as bad. No one said it is easy. Takes some discipline and I myself am far from perfect but I work at it. What comes out of the mouth originates in the heart. I do think you know that. you said...."they mean the same damn thing in the mind of the person saying them".
Doesn't that reveal intent? Just as bad.

 

But you have been doing that this whole thread. You have been telling me the words I use are "wrong", yet you cannot tell me why they are wrong or who choose these words to be wrong.

As for morals, I am as moral as they come. Been married to the same woman for 28 years never once straying or cheating. I do not steal or cheat people or anything that anyone would find immoral.

I have a different vocabulary than you and you want to question my morals, right after you told me that you cannot tell me right from wrong.

You are a walking contradiction.

So, then it is not the words that are bad, it is the intent, is this correct?

 

And took questions almost daily, gave interviews, had reports in the Oval Office asking questions. Stuff the partisan nonsense even the MSM is starting to make note and issue complaints.

 

He runs away from questions, else he is dragged away. When was the last time he took even 30 minutes of unrehearsed questions from randomly selected reporters?

 

Pitiful for the leader of the country. And the SecDef was standing right behind him.

 

Did the fence come with wheels, or did you install them later

 

I don't think the vast majority of the country would be surprised it is quite apparent from not just the lack of candor and access and when we DO get even that trickle he comes off BAD.

 

And when you are left with inane responses...........

 

Maybe the MSM will get rid of Biden. If they do, just like a snake they will continue their leftist pursuits.

 

I owe you some praise here for holding to some very valid morals and I find it commendable. I share those morals. On the other hand....many feel marriage is a thing of the past. Like you say, "words change" .....what about these morals? You married a women? Doesn't that appear a little sexist? In todays world, you could have considered a man! You don't steal? Many condone the stealing of wealth by government merely for redistribution! You don't cheat?" Com'on man" get with the times! We just had four or five states change election rules by the Judicial when it was not their jurisdiction to do that! Constitutionally it was the responsibility of the legislature! When you get in the area of "Moral Relativity" things get pretty sticky, and fast!

 

Marriage is always in a state of flux. It was not that along ago that most marriages were not about love but about convenience or survival or the like.

Go back further and you find people like King David with multiple wives and even more concubines.

I have a co-worker that is in a polyamorous relationship with his wife and their "girlfriend". Not my cup of tea, but they all seem very happy so why would I care?

Yes I could have and I am glad that people in the world today can make that choice.

All government spending is redistribution. A government cannot exist without the redistribution of wealth from the citizens to the government. I am sure though you had many post complaining about the spending habits of the last administration.

That is a nice story, but even the SCOTUS does not agree with you. Oh, and it was way more than 5 or 6, it was most of them. But for some odd reason the only ones people complain about are the ones Trump lost....it is as if the other states doing it did not matter to them for some reason, I am sure hyper-partisanship had nothing to do with it though!

 

That is true....doesn't make it God's will. Maybe you should read about all the grief and death that brought about for David and the Nation of Israel. Dysfunctional families bring that about. David lost his own son as an indirect consequence and the Nation was in turmoil. Maybe you should spend more time in that book and learn there are "absolutes" we should live by.

Whatever floats your boat....right?

A lie from the left. Citizens need to contribute equally to protect the innocent. Do you think the money you made in the Marines was redistribution?....or was it for a service you provided? Roads are used by citizens equally. Redistribution is money confiscated to steal wealth from producers and reward non- producers so don't give me thatstuff.

 

Kind David had Uriah (an honorable Marine) murdered to steal Bathsheba, his wife. So because it is in the Bible you feel that is alright? Learn to read scripture for the lesson it conveys, that will help you.

 

I thought we were talking about morals, not God's will. One does not need to believe in any god to be moral.

As long as it is between consenting adults, you bet. I am not here to tell others how to live...or even how to speak.

Of course it was redistribution. What else could it have been. The money went from one group to a different group, the very definition of redistribution.

Your definition of redistribution is made up based upon political biases.

People have made redistribution into a bad word, but really it is not.

Also, do you really think that citizens contribute equally in our country? Hell, even people that make the exact same amount of money do not contribute equally based upon what "deductions and credits" they have.

 

Hold on their Hoss....you're the one that brought King David, the man after God's own heart, into the picture. You thought that gave you some kind of "moral platitude" then you threw him under the bus!

Money for services is a trade...not redistribution. Redistribution is the Marxist thing. How did he say it? Something like from those who have, to those who don't. Generally it is just stealing.

No they don't Absolutely they don't. I believe everyone's tax form should be the size of a post card. Either that or a National Sales Tax. I wasn't around when they started inventing all this corruption.
We (they)just passed a 1.9 trillion dollar bill and they called it the Covid Relief Package. Sounds really great doesn't it? They're now printing the money. Only 9% is direct relief for the Virus China gave us.

 

I did not mention God, just gave an example of marriage down through history.

But we the people are not paying the military, we are giving the money to the government who then redistributes it to the military and all the other things they pay for. There is no direct payment for services from the people to the one providing the service.

On this we agree 100%. There should be no "deductions" for things like a mortgage or kids or college or solar panels or any of the 1000 things the government pushes via the tax code. If two people make the same amount of money, they should pay the same amount in taxes, period.

I am assuming I will find post from you complaining about them "printing money" to cover the shortfall from the Trump tax cuts? Or is party all that matters to you?

The debt is the main reason I left the GOP and now vote almost exclusively Libertarian. There is no party of small government and less spending

 

Wonder why you chose a character from the Holy Bible? Babylonians sacrificed their children. Can we do that today? Outside of abortion?

In the U.S. the Government is supposed to be We the People. You're just parsing words. It's money for services (that is unless your calling Marines a bunch of "welfare brats". I certainly am not.

 

I felt like it was an example you would know about. I do not really know anything about the ancient Babylonians. But it does show how times have changed since we cannot do that.

I cannot be held responsible for the fact people choose to twist the meaning of a word into something bad.

But it does show the changing nature of words.

 

Here comes the President. Speech tonight

 

Leader of the government, not the leader of the country.

 

Just look at what you have said Darth. You say words change and you say people change. You seem to imply word change is always for the better (like maybe the f-bomb will be acceptable someday) yet child sacrifice is no longer acceptable and that change is for the better. So our language can be coarsened we can question the sexual identity we are born with, and we can ban books.
Here is how I differ from your Marxist theology. All change is not always good because it comes from a "flawed human nature". We have been given precepts that never change. Like gravity, if it is overcome, it always returns to earth. I believe we have been given morals that come from God that never change. Those that deny God are like a foundation built on sand. The sand is human nature. That sand will always in the end rob us of our liberty and the Founders knew that.
