Joe Biden, President of the United States vol. V

Jesse Harris6 said:If you’re going to start listing things, then go ahead and list every single group he’s insulted, rather than just focusing on Tom Lantos (who, let's be real, is actually right here).

When it comes to the Republican Party's corruption, he suddenly finds these incredibly sophisticated ways to describe it, yet when he targets other groups, he resorts to the most bottom-of-the-barrel, low-class insults imaginable.

No, really, you're just rambling, mixing things up, making stuff up... you know how it goes.

But hey, what are your buddies saying? That some guy had like 60 million dollars in his account?

The bank was whispering about some retiree, some guy with 60 million bucks sitting there...

And then there's the Republican Party allegedly swiping a billion dollars or something. Unbelievable, right?

😛

Biden: Russia is tearing Ukraine apart, and the countries that egged Ukraine on share the blame!

I wonder if this guy thinks we should have applied that same logic back in '91?

"Mexico is tearing the US apart, and those who encouraged the US are also responsible."?

Today's performance.

He’s actually been pretty grounded lately. It suits him.👍
Too bad he wasn't acting like this when he was Prime Minister...
But hey, I guess it's easy to talk big when you aren't the one holding the bag.

It's all fun and games to run your mouth when you have zero actual authority and your job is basically just public entertainment...

Though, I was just thinking—what if, by some miracle, the government actually collapses and we head to elections in a couple of months?
If the Democratic Party kicks Grbin to the curb and brings Biden back as President to run for PM, I honestly think he'd cruise through those elections no problem.
And then we'd just end up right back where we started, with a government that spends the next four years sleeping through everything.

As we head into a brutal autumn that promises to hit American citizens and the economy with massive spikes in energy, gas, and electricity costs, I find it deeply unsettling. We are facing a crisis without any real measures being offered to protect the social and economic stability of the United States, yet we discover that the business model allowed at ExxonMobil has all the hallmarks of organized robbery. Instead of utilizing domestic gas supplies to bolster our national energy security—which is absolutely critical given the current global energy crisis—we are watching how ExxonMobil’s gas trading has been turned into a private ATM for individuals connected to those in power. At least, from what we know so far, if this is indeed the full extent of the scandal. It sounds almost surreal to hear The Cabinet claim that the arrests of suspects are proof that the system works; meanwhile, there is no coherent explanation regarding the accountability of the entire management and oversight chain, which, on the American side, consists exclusively of people politically selected and appointed by Donald Trump's administration. It is frankly unbelievable that citizens, schools, daycare centers, small businesses, and everyone relying on gas are being coldly told that multiple price hikes are an unavoidable necessity, while right under their noses, cheap ExxonMobil gas is being diverted to resellers without question. Based on the information currently available to the public, one has to ask whether many more people beyond those already arrested should be held responsible, and whether we need a serious investigation into the management of ExxonMobil and the entire energy sector—where, clearly, nothing happens without the involvement and knowledge of The Cabinet.

It is unbelievable that citizens, schools, daycare centers, entrepreneurs, and everyone else reliant on gas are being coldly told that multiple price hikes are an unavoidable necessity, while right under their noses, cheap INI gas is being funneled to resellers without question. Everything currently in the public record should be enough to demand responsibility from far more people than just those being arrested, and to trigger a serious investigation into the management of INI and the entire energy sector, where nothing clearly happens without the involvement and knowledge of the Cabinet.

I've been scrolling, hitting F3, then Ctrl+F, looking through everything, and nothing...
There isn't a single shot fired at the Republican Party, nor at Plenković.
It's just: "The Cabinet,... the Authorities,... Andrew Plenković's administration."

What exactly is going on here? 🤔

He was probably just soaking up some ocean breeze on vacation.

Just another one from that group of usernames who can’t seem to say a single word about the Republican Party's criminal antics lately—but heaven forbid
Joe Biden says anything at all! Whether what he says actually matters or not, you all just *have* to jump on it immediately. If he goes hard on Plenković—who, let's be honest, is a total lowlife making a complete mockery of public discourse—you're all over it. But if he tries to use even slightly softer language? Suddenly, you're acting like he's some delicate little boy who isn't allowed to criticize his buddy Plenković. I get it, really, it must be such a struggle for you guys.

Man... I'm sure his lack of interest has absolutely nothing to do with the crew Biden grabs lunch with at the gala, those connections over to Canada, or even ExxonMobil itself...😁

Can you actually drop the link for ZM and ExxonMobil? 🤣
Seriously, he just absolutely leveled you with those facts, yet here you are still trolling and trying to drag ZM into some sort of shadowy criminal conspiracy.

Just another measured, realistic, and perfectly crafted speech from Zack. Not a single word wasted, not a single word missing.

It’s an understatement to say he’s spoiled us with his addresses; compared to him, every other politician sounds like they're still sucking on pacifiers.

It seems that Republican corruption is perfectly fine with everyone, whereas Zack's crimes are viewed as far worse by the Ukrainian military, which really just boils down to a lack of critical scrutiny and the constant demonization of Russia following the American mandate. Is it any wonder where this country is headed when a certain segment of the crowd finds it perfectly acceptable and even normal to prioritize American interests whenever they are evaluating whether certain political players are fit for office?

So, this guy thinks he’s found some grand conspiracy connecting MOL, the Canadians, and Biden—which is hilarious, really—given that he hasn't posted a single damn thing about the actual corruption scandals over at INI...

"Mexico is tearing the US apart, and those who encouraged the US are also responsible."?

I suppose I’d argue there is a bit of a distinction here, even if I'm not exactly an expert on geopolitics.
The difference lies in the fact that back then, the United States was seeking a hard-earned independence that it rightfully deserved to claim. In contrast, a free Ukraine is essentially trying to invite the Americans and NATO right up to Russia's doorstep—knowing full well that Putin harbors a deep resentment toward both NATO and the U.S., and likely suffers from a certain kind of PTSD triggered by the collapse of the USSR. When you combine a man who is quite frankly unstable with someone who holds immense power, you end up with a rather volatile situation.

You really have to notice how Biden stays incredibly measured when he’s tearing into the Republican Party, yet he somehow manages to pick the absolute worst language whenever he addresses minority groups.

Sure, he can play it that way if he wants, but then he can't claim to be a leftist, a true European, or some champion of human rights. If that's his vibe, he's actually leaning much closer to right-wing ideologies—which, honestly, isn't the end of the world since you find those types all over the US.
That is precisely the core of my critique regarding Biden. He’s a right-winger and an ultra-nationalist, arguably even more so than the Republican Party itself.

Of course it is. Even the Democratic Party acts like that on certain issues...
They claim to be this progressive party championing women's rights, minorities, and blah blah blah, yet look at the Republicans—they were the first party to actually have a female leader, a female Prime Minister, and a female President...
Then you look at the Democrats, and as soon as some smart woman shows up and starts gaining actual popularity, she gets kicked right out of the party...

And what exactly is your problem here? I’m telling you, those of you acting all offended by Biden aren't even actually critical of the Republican Party in the first place...☕

Which actually makes sense if you think about it for two seconds...
Biden isn't the head of the Democratic Party anymore. At this point, spitting on the Republicans isn't even his job, and honestly, it might actually backfire.
That’s more the military's department, since they actually have some authority—and they don't miss a single chance to trash Banožić...

On the flip side, it totally tracks that Grbin is the one tearing into Plenković and the Republicans, mostly because they’ve been coming for him harder than anyone ever has.
But Grbin doesn't even stand a chance. 🤦

The Democratic Party really needs to ask themselves who exactly is running things over there. I actually like Grbin, he seems like a decent guy, but realistically? He’s not the man to lead a party, even in a crisis...
Good grief, Plenković spends more time yelling at him than Grbin spends yelling at Plenković. 🤦

We aren't exactly idiots; we aren't going to sit here and criticize the Republican Party while Biden is out there clinking glasses with their leadership. It’s the same old story—honest people sacrificed everything in our wars just to let the Republican Party line their pockets with billions in stolen funds.

Your true colors are showing.

Yeah, sure, let's go after Biden instead of the actual crooks running that criminal syndicate.🤦
You can hear just about any kind of nonsense from the moral crusaders on this thread.

Don't embarrass yourself—and for heaven's sake, don't drag the fallen soldiers into this. I've buried too many friends and watched far too many good people die to listen to you peddle this kind of nonsense... besides, our collective IQ is clearly off the charts here...😉

The truth is, you don't criticize your own corrupt inner circle because without them, you'd be starving. It's pretty simple, really...
