    You seem to confuse insults made in observation of facts with insults made out of bias without facts.
    Biden can't tell facts from fiction either. Ignoring that is an insult to intelligent people.....

    Politicians mess up, say stupid things, and goof up pretty regularly. If we were followed 24hrs a day there would be a pretty big file on all our f ups. I don't know why you feel the need to defend so bitterly a goof up. It's not a big deal. Pretty funny. Learn to let it go. I could understand being peeved about totally out of context stuff (the amount of highly edited biden footage annoys me) but I am not going to come on and violently argue that Biden didn't trip going up some stairs.
    He tripped. Not a big deal. Move on.
    Trump wrote a double negative that made him sound foolish. It was a goof. Move on

    While anybody can have a bad day, the difference between that and incompetence is demonstrated by consistency. 1 goof, no problem. Everything goofed is different.
    Todays score seem to be a hell of a lot of goofs to zero accomplishments. Biden has yet to do anything right despite fabricated MSM claims.

    The fact the left can't acknowledge this in any degree is also not a "goof". It's a plan.

    Didn’t Biden smoke a peace pipe on Plymouth Rock after chasing Corn Pop with his 18 wheeler?

    It's the hypocrisy along with the blatant attempt to use that to incite and bait a great many Americans by non-Americans.

    Compared to Trump, he's a genius.

    People who are actually suited to being president wouldn't put up with the political process. So we are left with people who put greed for power ahead of everything else. It is the major flaw in our electoral system.

    And yet they booed him over the vaccine. I wonder why Trump let so many people like ANTIFA burn our cities down if he knew he could get away with anything...

    I looked into that. One of the issues was who had power to act. Separation of powers. a constitutional legal paramater, delegates that power to states where it happens. Trump did offer aid to these states, but the way the rules work the states have to ask for it- and they did not.

    A leader does not make society what it it, the people of that society do. Consider the concept of discipline and conduct. As a parent/coach/manager of any group or institution, you have rules that keep order, maintain justice and balance. IF you fail to enforce those rules- then there are no rules other than cosmetic recitals hanging on the wall. Thus order starts with leadership, as they make the rules and must enforce the rules. When leadership ignores the rules, violates or fails to enforce them, they set the precedent for all who follow. Thus, the place to drop the hammer first- is on leadership. We need to require them to uphold the principles and obligations of their office- to the letter. And, we need to terminate them as quickly as possible if they do not. IF leadership were required to follow their own rules, that would very quickly become required of those they supervise.

    Congress has been failing to conduct itself by it's own rules for decades, but the restraint provided by the character of individuals and the fear of public condemnation- has evaporated, so now we have a circus that can't do anything effectively. Congress is literally losing power; the administrative side of government is gaining it because congress is failing to maintain order anywhere. So it starts with congress. THEY make the rules, they control all the budgets, they oversee all other functions of government- but in failing to oversee themselves, they have lost the ability to control anything else. The power vacuum is filled by opportunity- just taken. Same as your kids when you tell them to go to bed and don't back it up, they just do what they want.
