35. You don't give respect, you earn it.

And obviously MAGA Trump has earned nothing but derision and scorn from any normal sentient being, including Joe Biden. Appeasement is ugly and futile. Treat Trump and his cult like the satanic movement they are. Stay the hell away from them. Don't do ANYTHING to suggest they are normal. They are neo-Nazis. Call them out, don't cuddle up with them.

It makes me sick to see Joe bow down to the dicatator. C'mon, man. Stand up for decency. Stand up for all of us who gave money we didn't have and donated time we couldn't afford to try to stop the takeover of our country. Making nice with Trump sells us out. Stop it!

I agree, but I doubt Biden will unleash (when the cameras are gone). He probably (wrongly) believes that he has hlthe2b Nov 13 #8

It upsets me too, but Pres. Biden thinks it is the "honorable" thing to do. hlthe2b Nov 13 #3

"An unjust law is no law at all." DemocratSinceBirth Nov 13 #9

No argument here. hlthe2b Nov 13 #11

The honorable thing to do would be to stand by democracy and keep calling out the neo-Nazis hawkeye21 Nov 13 #32

I agree and have indicated multiple times. I am merely stating my thoughts as to why Biden is doing what he is. hlthe2b Nov 13 #34

"But, but, but, the price of EGGS! ..." Conjuay Nov 13 #5

Biden takes every chance to lead by example BootinUp Nov 13 #7

Great point. It's the same as when Kamala walked over to t-rump and shook hands with the mad man PortTack Nov 13 #50

Good comparison. Nt BootinUp Nov 13 #57
