butlers 259 #121 Posted June 6, 2021 Yes of course. That's what so ironic about Republican attacks of him being soft on crime. That all said, Biden viewing it from now admits he got it wrong. We also have to remember at the time america was going thru a massive rise in crime and the already high murder rate had gone right thru the roof. What's the saying " prison makes bad people worse". A truism.butbtheres plenty of bad people deserve thier time behind bars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I'd have to say that's the best deflection I've seen on this or any other forum in the last 5 years.

butlers 259 #125 Posted June 6, 2021 See thing is the Republican Party have form for the southern strategy , explicitly racist ,which the party belatedly apologized for. The Republican Party now is overwhelming white and it's not unknown to hear words like " savages" to come from Republican politicians when there's riots/ civil unrest. The former President habitually refered to black averseries as " low intelligence" and has several times spoken of his good genes ( white European) .it's ugly stuff. Rather like there's BLM and black lives matter ,there's Racism and racism . I can think of several Biden comments that are clumsy but not that offensive whereas the previous guy in comparison has much more troubling stuff .

crookesey 627 #128 Posted June 13, 2021 It’s ever been the same with respect to world leaders, if they haven’t done it their critics will say that they have, if they have done it the same critics will say that they haven’t. What I will say is that Joe Biden at age 78 has a very fair chance of dying in office, I’m 74 in a few days time and would like to think that I may reach the age of 78, I reckon that he has some guts to take on the presidency.

butlers 259 #132 Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) Steady steady. She's a bit different to the previous clothes horse. Jill Biden has kept up her day job of teaching too ,the first First Lady to do that. Jill Biden is a Professor . Remover after one if the debates where she and Joe Biden embraced while the other two stood in stood apart in Stony silence #teambiden Edited June 13, 2021 by butlers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
