Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

That's all the rules!

Hillary was super confident...
It's why she lost the 2016 election, she had all the confidence in the world, but that alone doesn't make someone a good candidate
Someone that acts confident when they shouldn't, is colloquially known as a "conman". Because what they're selling isn't worth buying, you're just buying it off their confidence in themselves, which is very rarely based on reality.
Calling Biden a conman in relation to Trump is actually hilarious. While he's absolutely not the candidate I want, he's still better than Trump by all metrics
They're both con men, that's basically the job. The president is basically a glorified cheerleader with nukes.
Meh, at least the Cheeto tells the truth as far as who he wants to kill, Biden lies out one side of his mouth, while sending bombs with the other
You're going to be absolutely shocked when you find out which branch of government controls the spending in the USA.
"His hands are tied!" doesn't work when we all saw him circumvent congress to sell Netanyahu weapons for genocide.
He also did went to bat for Netanyahu not get served with an Arrest warrant from the ICC
You’re going to be absolutely shocked who has the final say in military matters in the USA
Arms sales =/= military actions.
Typical Trump fascist symp, just showing off your ignorance at this point.
Yeah yeah yeah, every time someone says something bad about your messiah, you blame trump.
I hate the stupid motherfucker and encourage you to look back through my history and see when I became anti-Biden.
Hint: it was somewhere near the end of October when we started seeing what the Israelis were doing.
My other account is the exact same name except at kbin.social before they started having problems.
Please feel free.
Also, if Biden needed congressional authority, then why would it be possible for him to legally bypass them?
Because he can just aim for $1 under the reportable limits.
Come on bud, you should know that, it was big news the first couple of times he did it.
Biden has beat Trump once already, Hilary never did. Maybe he's confident for a reason.
"He shouldn't be confident because a different candidate was confident once and they lost, that means confidence is bad and meaningless"
I'm sure trump is confident too, how does that make you feel? Should he be?
I'm sure he's pretty confident he's in some REAL DEEP SHIT. 91 felonies, killed off a shit ton of base from his incredible job at handling covid, actively talks about being a dictator and killing his political rivals. Even his mouth breathing cult has to have their dim bulbs flickering and them thinking, "this isn't American".
He's only running for office because he's absolutely fucked if he doesn't win. He owes half a billion in loans to russia, another half a bill for fraud. He's toast unless he can change the laws that are going to take him out.
No, that's incorrect.
A "con man" aka Confidence Trickster is a grifter who gains your confidence in order to scam you.
Having false confidence in itself does not mean someone is necessarily a swindler. It could just be that they are delusional or misinformed.
They're not selling a legitimate product service, the only thing rubes are being sold on, is the confidence of the salesperson.
Biden can be as confident as he wants to be, and some voters may assume that confidence means he's competent.
But Hillary was extremely confident she'd win 2016. She shouldn't have been.
And that over confidence directly led to her not trying as hard as she could, and voters falsely believing she had it wrapped up and they didn't need to "hold their nose".
Biden and voters need to be realistic about his chances to beat trump, or it will lower his chances to beat trump.
