The Biden - Harris Era.

[MDlaxfan76]

On July 9, 2022, the US Army suspended Volesky from a lucrative consultant’s role after a social media post appearing under his name taunted first lady Jill Biden's support of abortion rights. In response to the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade, Dr. Biden tweeted, “For nearly 50 years, women have had the right to make our own decisions about our bodies. Today, that right was stolen from us.” An account under Volesky’s name replied: “Glad to see you finally know what a woman is.”[9] Volesky had previously made another social media post stating the United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack was "all about partisan politics".[10]

Yup, simply no longer gonna get paid by the US Army as a consultant.
"His comments were not in step with decorum for retired military officers."

He's a jerk, IMO.
Is that a "nasty, mean spirited attack" that I "should be ashamed of"???
My, such a snow flake response.

In your opinion he is a jerk. IMO he is a decorated hero. IMO your attack was nasty and mean spirited. I bet you would never express your opinion to the generals face. Anyhow, thanks for the back and forth.

no, I would have the "balls" to tell him to his face what I think about his recent behavior.
I needn't have jumped out of airplanes to have such...

Again, I'm not questioning his earlier service (and I have no issue with your view of such), just as I didn't question Flynn's active duty service.

I can hear the speech writers now-

"Dr. Jill loves unique breakfast tacos. EVERYONE loves unique breakfast tacos.

It's ok if we call Latinos tacos, right?"

Facepalm.

She needs to get together with the Congressman (I forget who) said something like if we don't build the wall, "we'll have taco trucks on every corner".

sheesh, did you listen to what she actually said?
She was analogizing about "the diversity of this (Hispanic) community (specifically the organization that "Raul built"), "as distinct as the bodegas of the Bronx, as beautiful as the blossoms of Miami, as unique as the breakfast tacos of (San Antonio)...is your strength"

She wasn't calling Hispanics bodegas, blossoms, or breakfast tacos...

Yes, the Unidos organization is diverse, the Hispanic community is certainly diverse, and no one is a bodega, blossom or breakfast taco...

But hey, folks gotta find something to misrepresent as a soundbite...her speech writers are surely chagrined, and should be, it was an avoidable misstep.

It was not, however, akin to the bigotry of a fan's Congressman. EDIT, it was actually the co-founder of "Latinos for Trump" who originated that phrase in the 2016 campaign. Hillary picked up on it and said the idea "sounds delicious".

Does this asinine statement qualify the first lady for your "jerk" award???

She just compared Hispanic people to loveable breakfast tacos. What say you there about this kerfluffle on the part of our first lady. Unless your going to hand her a mulligan she is a perfect fit for your criteria for being a jerk... I'm dying to hear how you spin this one...

It was a stupid thing to write, and then say. Full stop. These speechwriters aren't earning minimum wage.....find a better metaphor. There's a whole mess of them available.

Agree. She said Latino community was as diverse as...a stereotypical Mexican food. But remember, this wasn't the first cringey and embarrassing and pandering move Joe and Jill has made with with this community:

From the BBC:

Jill Biden sorry for comparing Latinos to tacos

US First Lady Jill Biden has apologised for likening Hispanic people to "tacos" in a botched compliment.

Mrs Biden was addressing Latinos in Texas on Monday when she referenced the traditional Mexican snack in her speech.

The National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) responded: "We are not tacos".

On Tuesday, her press secretary said Mrs Biden was sorry and admires the Hispanic community.

Her comment comes as President Joe Biden's popularity with Hispanic voters has been falling.

Mrs Biden was addressing a conference in San Antonio on the Hispanic "Quest for Equity" when she said: "The diversity of this community, as distinct as the bodegas of the Bronx, as beautiful as the blossoms of Miami, and as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio, is your strength".

She also mispronounced the word "bodegas" - a term for convenience stores borrowed from Spanish - as "bogedas".

The NAHJ called on Mrs Biden "to take time to better understand" Latinos.

The industry group added: "Our heritage as Latinos is shaped by various diasporas, cultures & food traditions.

"Do not reduce us to stereotypes."

Responding on Twitter, Mrs Biden's press secretary said: "The First Lady apologises that her words conveyed anything but pure admiration and love for the Latino community".

Mrs Biden was previously criticised in March 2021 after botching the pronunciation of the Spanish phrase, "Sí se puede" (Yes we can), in remarks to farmworkers in Delano, California.

Conservatives also seized upon Mrs Biden's latest remarks.

"No wonder Hispanics are fleeing the Democratic Party!" US Representative Andy Biggs, a Republican from Arizona, wrote on Twitter.

A recent Quinnipiac opinion poll found that only about a quarter (26%) of Hispanic Americans - a key voting bloc for the Democratic Party - approve of Mr Biden's performance as president, down from 55% a year earlier.

While campaigning for the presidency, Mr Biden was ridiculed when he attempted to court the Hispanic vote by playing Despacito, a Spanish-language pop hit, from his phone.

never mind my post above.. the spin is in. You NEVER disappoint MD when it comes to your own personal hypocrisy. If she said NOTHING wrong MD... why did she offer an apology and retract what she said? The answer is very simple and easy... it is called in the world of politics foot in mouth disease. Talk about SNOWFLAKE explanations you take the cake on this one MD. The first lady would be well advised to hire you as her personal spokesman.

+1 it is interesting to now read the start of the spin trying to defend what is indefensible. I thought only republicans did that??

I guess we should just applaud small steps. She didnt call hispanics tacos. She said their communities were diverse as....TACOS!

Remember, this is standard we were working from:

I would pay good money to your favorite charity to witness that event. I don't think you have balls that big.

We use to be mocked on our way to Pope AFB for a jump. The sarcastic rant was that the only thing that falls from the sky are birdchit and fools. The airborne soldiers reply was very simple... yeah but chickenchit never leaves the ground... true dat...

Maybe her speech writers should have thought about that??? I hate to inform you MD your spin on this is not helping. A good rule of thumb... when your hip deep in hole the best advise is to stop digging.

No question that he is a decorated hero. But he's also a demonstrated jerk in this case. Simply deleting your inappropriate comment without an apology also speaks volumes.

Maybe our first lady should take your advise. I'm certain the general has no speech writers.

sheesh, if one bothers to actually listen, it's obvious that she had zero bigoted disparagement intent; of course she apologized, because how it was heard was not as she (nor her speechwriters) intended. That's what adults do. It was mistake, not an act of bigotry...obviously.

But boy the snowflakes jumped on it...
