A Light Hearted Look at the Flotus Vol IX

Ah the good ol' days of T**** when you didn't have to make up quotes of stupid lies. I myself got lazy.

 

It is an actual quote. It's even cited in the Los Angeles Times:

Joe Biden, on the campaign trail, explained that his wife’s desire for the highest degree was in response to what she perceived as her second-class status on their mail.

“She said, ‘I was so sick of the mail coming to Sen. and Mrs. Biden. I wanted to get mail addressed to Dr. and Sen. Biden.’ That’s the real reason she got her doctorate,” he said.

Just because you say it's "not an actual quote," does not make it so.

 

Again, this is why this thread is in the "Humor & Satire" subforum, because of how hilariously pathetic Jill Biden is.

 

Do you think Biden might have been making a joke?

 

Are you one of those two people? If not, you can't speak to what their marriage is like.

 

What aspirations do you think she's holding onto his coattails to achieve? She's earned her title and that is very noble.

 

~ Her title as ' Presidential Nanny ' ...? Another first for America .

 

Only you, James! Only you...could get away with that. It made me laugh but I shouldn't have laughed. ;-0

 

No, I don't think so. Typically, if it sounds as if the speaker is joking, they will replace "said" with "joked." So, for example, if Biden were joking, they might write, "She said, ‘I was so sick of the mail coming to Sen. and Mrs. Biden. I wanted to get mail addressed to Dr. and Sen. Biden.’ That’s the real reason she got her doctorate,” he joked. But they wrote "said," not "joked," or some other qualification that would indicate that he was not being sincere.

 

I don't think she earned anything, really, especially her doctorate. Being the wife of a US Senator, especially one who was in the US Senate for decades, which indicates a lot of clout and thus a lot of ability to make folks' lives miserable, I don't think that she got her doctorate with complete impartiality, especially at the University of Delaware, which is in the state in which he was a US Senator and that has an entity called the Joseph R. Biden, Jr. School of Public Policy & Administration.

 

When Americans scratch their heads at what Jill and Joe have done or achieved in the Senate, just goes to show why his presidency figures are tanking. The lackluster continues.

 

It's true.

 

Hhhmmmmm trying to think when trump did that all the hundreds of times his followers claimed he was “just joking”

 

She has a thesis and it is on record for anyone to read

 

And, it helps that she wasn't a nude lesbian porn model posing with guns.

 

Oooops

 

I don't know. She was a hottie and throw a few pics into her dissertation might get the right to read it...nah...who am I kidding, three syllable word in the first sentence.

 

How is a doctorate 'noble'? What has she done with that title that would include her in the definition of the word 'noble'?

It is the same as the word 'hero'. Incorrectly used doesn't change it's meaning.

I have no feelings one way or another about Jill Biden as a FLOTUS. As a person, she doesn't impress me as anything special.

 

Joe Biden was quoted in the Politics page of the Los Angeles Times, not in the YellowHammer News. If they could have quoted him in a favorable light, they would. If he made that statement ironically, they would have described it so. His statement reads in a matter-of-fact way, not an ironic way.

Again, the quote from the Los Angeles Times:

Joe Biden, on the campaign trail, explained that his wife’s desire for the highest degree was in response to what she perceived as her second-class status on their mail.

“She said, ‘I was so sick of the mail coming to Sen. and Mrs. Biden. I wanted to get mail addressed to Dr. and Sen. Biden.’ That’s the real reason she got her doctorate,” he said.

 

Let's start with the 2nd definition of "noble".



In my opinion, the fact that Jill has completed all the requirement to earn a doctorate, especially during a generation, in which women were expected to stay at home as housewives and mothers, is honorable. Of course, I understand if you don't hold that in high esteem, but that doesn't negate the fact that she set a goal for herself (outside societal pressure to place herself as "second string" to her spouse solely because she is female and he is male).

Secondly, a look at all the hoopla about Kamala Harris' unearned spot in her career because it is said that she achieved that "SOLELY" by having an affair with a married man in a powerful position, and, arguably, that may be partially true. But, the act, itself, has forever relegated her to being dismissed as a "real contender" because X <number of women that probably were passed over for career positions that she's held because they weren't willing to sleep their way to a job or promotion>.

Further, Melania used her "skill set" to marry a rich guy. She has done lesbian porn movies, posed nude, basically ignored us (Americans) in her 4 years as "First <I won't call her a 'lady' married to the President> and regularly showed her contempt for the things that ingratiated many of us to almost all of our former First Ladies. She even went on a tirade about participating in the holiday tradition of planning decorations for the White House. While it was whitewashed, she brazenly wore a jacket with the words "I don't really care. Do you?" and, arguably, it may be true that it didn't mean anything but it clearly illustrates her self-entitlement and tone deafness.

Therefore, even a cursory look at Jill's academic accomplishments shows that she is honorable. Some may argue that she is a good person. I have a hang-up about that adjective because I don't believe any person is all good or all bad, but I would argue that, comparatively, she has presented herself as a very kind, caring and concerned person. One of her very first decisions was to put hearts on the lawn just to let us know that she cares about us. Some lambasted her for it but that says more about them than it does Jill. No, it didn't cure cancer or eradicate COVID or feed all the hungry people, but it gave some of us a little bit of joy as many of us have lost loved ones to COVID, or been sick ourselves or lost jobs or businesses. The whole country, the world, is battle fatigued in this pandemic.

I don't believe that I used the word incorrectly (see above).

You certainly are entitled to your opinion and I appreciate you sharing it with me. However, where we differ is that I think all people are special. No two people are exactly alike and no two people will 100% agree with one another on any issue.

Even people that most consider "bad" or "evil" have **something** to teach us even if it's just "how not to become like them." This is the reason I speak openly about my horrific child abuse and became a child abuse advocate. I will lay down and die before I become anything like my abusers so. albeit incredibly painful and I didn't know if I would make it out alive, it was not a journey I traveled in vain.

Maybe my bar was lowered with the penultimate one, but I just like the fact that Jill can smile and seems to be human. At least she acknowledges that we exist and wants us to know she cares.

And on that note, here's a note courtesy of Jill...and Joe.

 

So Joe Biden wears a mask outside, about six feet from his wife?



But when he's inside, close to people, when he thinks the cameras are not looking, he's got the mask off. Hypocrite.

She, the caring person, was apparently okay with this theatrics about mask-wearing for a photo, even though I'm pretty sure he does not wear a mask when he's close to her, when he thinks the cameras are not on him, like in the next picture above.

Just wanted to make that note there.

As for how noble Jill Biden is, she apparently was okay with Joe Biden launching his campaign for presidency based on the lie that Trump said that white nationalist were good people when he said that there were good people on both sides, referring to both the people who were against the removal of the Robert E. Lee statue for heritage reasons and those who said it was racist to have the statue; he was not referring to the white nationalist and Antifa. So, apparently, she was okay with her husband deciding to use race in a mendacious way to divide this country for votes, but she's a good person? She cares? She made hearts? Also, her husband, day after day, appears to be losing his mind more and more, and yet she supported him running for the most powerful, most consequential position in the world, instead of doing what an actual caring person would do and either take care of him in private or find a nursing home. Instead, power-seeking like her husband, who has been running for president for the last 30 years, the appeal of the White House appears to have been irresistible. FLOTUS, like Dr., is like another title that she can add to her resume, so she can feel more important, and not like a second-class citizen.

Again, the quote from the Los Angeles Times:

Joe Biden, on the campaign trail, explained that his wife’s desire for the highest degree was in response to what she perceived as her second-class status on their mail.

“She said, ‘I was so sick of the mail coming to Sen. and Mrs. Biden. I wanted to get mail addressed to Dr. and Sen. Biden.’ That’s the real reason she got her doctorate,” he said.

I wonder which she prefers being addressed as, "First Lady Jill Biden" or "Doctor Biden." Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if she demanded to be called "First Lady Doctor Jill Biden" all the damn time, because, at the end of the day, it's all megalomaniacal. It's about getting the title regardless, so she can feel better about herself, as if she has some deep self-insecurity that she needs to overcome with titles. That is probably why she needed to get that doctorate from the a school in a state in which her husband was a US Senator for decades, and that has an entity names after him, called the Joseph R. Biden, Jr. School of Public Policy & Administration.

 

I can't believe she allowed Joe to run for President. I consider it elder abuse to encourage an obviously diminished 78 year old man to run for the most demanding job in the world.

 

Fortunately, several million of us disagree with you.

 

There are a great number of women who have reached beyond creating a home and raising children. That doesn't make them any more 'noble' then a woman who makes a warm and safe home for their spouse and children.

Not quite sure where Kamala comes into a discussion regarding FLOTUS, but regardless of her sexual antics, she is, by her own actions, not qualified for the position she holds IMO. Her contributing to an organization that helps bail out rioters doesn't score well with me.

Melania is a decoration, though she is intelligent, she doesn't use it to her benefit. She was meh as a FLOTUS.

So she has academic accomplishments. That really doesn't mean diddly as to if she is a decent human being. For me, a person can have multiple degrees or multiple millions, wear rags or be a high school drop out. How are they as human beings? How do they treat others? Jill Biden hasn't shown any characteristics that impress me.

See my above.

We all have a internal response to our environment, some follow what they've seen, others the polar opposite. I have several such keys, first and foremost, my racist, bigoted father. I will never walk in his steps, and I do my best to set seeds with people who would benefit from a different view than the one they hold.

I deleted your 'notes' in error and not sure how to reattach them, but my response is rather cliche, but honest. Words don't mean diddly, actions do. Biden's actions have not been healing, there is a great deal of divisiveness in his actions. I've not seen Jill do anything different.

I know this was supposed to be raising money for charity but $250,000 for that hat?

seems that there is also some “cloudiness” about exactly how much of the money raised will actually be going to the charity
