So Joe said his plan to curb inflation is to ask corporations to not engage in price gouging and to tax the wealthy? What?

So we’re all just gonna ignore the fact that he threatened military action against China?
No, it’s been in the news all day

Right…My point is no one here seems interested or said a word about it. Why do you think that is?
Because it’s just saber rattling and after the amount of dumb stuff trumps said, it doesn’t seem like the end of the world.

Genuine question, threatening china with military opposition (effectively going to war with china), how is that any better than anything trump said?
If trump had said that people would be up in arms calling for his head and be one of the many things people attacked him for saying.
Got to have balance here, Biden threatening war with China is just as dangerous and idiotic as anything that came before him. Trump wanted to attack china financially, biden is saying physically. i know which one is the more ridiculous sounding one.
Otherwise its just political bias that boils down to turning a blind eye to something you wouldn't stand for if the person had a fake tan and a maga hat.

Joe won the election by not being Trump. Personally, I think we should be past the Trump comps now and able to debate the merits of how he is performing as a president. People don’t want to do that and just go back to, “We’ll Trump was worse.” Joe is here, he’s struggling to do the job it seems, and his gaffes are getting worse. We should just ignore them though?

This may be a little off topic but I think there is an element of grouping all media together , especially so in America that means a lot of news either gets buried or has a spotlight shone on it.
It's like the idea of watching opinion pieces on fox news from the likes of tucker Carlson. A lot of what he says is right wing opinion and can be filtered out. I mean using inflation as a means to attack Biden for example is a great example of bias that has no basis. However anything truthful mixed in with that is then ruled mis information and then treated as such, if that makes sense?
The lack of actual coverage of Biden in comparison to trump is like night and day. Many would argue it was all bad with trump but you hear very little about Biden, almost like it's on purpose. Obama got a lot more coverage overseas than Biden does.
Take away the specifics of the story , the hunter Biden laptop was proven to have been buried by the media , whether it's a non story or not depending on perspective. So to what extent is anything that would he perceived as negative towards Biden being pushed down instead?
Meaning right wing outlets who are largely discredited normally (partly due to their own opinion) are gaining more coverage when reporting it.
You’re presuming it was a gaffe.
therell be no stopping the trump comparisons while he’s still campaigning to take Biden’s job.
had trump warned China like that his supporters would have wet themselves. See, he’s tough on Ghaiina.

If it wasn’t, that’s almost worse, but given how quickly the white house walked it back, it’s pretty safe to say it was…And it’s not about Trump supporters either. There’s maybe 3 of those on this entire forum? Or maybe more closeted than that. Idk.
What I’m suggesting is we should be ok debating the job our current president is doing and even criticizing when deserved. Saying, “Trump is worse,” is played out. It’s been a year and a half.
Gaffes have always been a major issue for Biden. Can only imagine it will get worse given his age. There’s a reason he rarely holds press conferences

Agree, it seems that criticizing biden is conflated with supporting trump
FYI, Joe Biden has already held more press conferences in 1.5 years than Trump or Bush, Jr held in their first two years and only one fewer than Ronald Reagan in his first two years.
