Joe was obviously under the spell of Tim Russert. Alot of Democrats use to believe marriage was between a man and a woman. I bet they all have amnesia today if asked about it. All Joe has to say is that he never said what he said. Joe would add to that " if you don't believe me ask Tim, he will back me up." :D
Biden voted in favor of a constitutional amendment to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Since he reversed his positions just to woo voters, but is actually anti gay marriage and anti-abortion, shouldn't you love this guy?

Such a stupid or silly criticism. Of course there's a list, made to ensure that the major media gets to ask their questions and a reasonably fair rotation of other media, including foreign, gets called on in due course based on a planned priority. Not everyone gets to ask a question in every press availability.

Idiots like Trump didn't care about a fair rotation much less organization and used all press availability, formal and informal, to just spout whatever BS he wanted, attacking any questioners who dared ask him a challenging question as "Enemies of the State" or "Enemies of the People". Often directly personally. He relished the confrontation as red meat for his base.

Every other modern President, of both parties, has taken the press' role seriously, no matter how much they thought certain questions and media were unfair in their coverage. All have had organized press conferences as well as more ad hoc press availability intermittently. They sometimes expressed their annoyance with dumb questions, given they understandably valued the time they were parceling out to more media than could ask a question any given avail. But they weren't looking to just rail at the press.

Why should they be annoyed at dumb questions?? Their job is to answer dumb questions and try and explain dumb policy. I believe I remember Dana Perino answer a never ending plethora of dumb questions without being annoyed. :D didn't your girlfriend Joe call a Fox reporter a stupid son of a b***h on a hot mike? Now that is how you handle the press corpse. :D

No, we expect the press to help actually illuminate policy by asking thoughtful questions, whether of a Press Secretary, President or other Admin officials. Obviously, that's not all that's incoming, but for the most part, that's usually what happens. Certainly what should happen.

And yes, human beings can get annoyed with dumb questions. And express themselves in colorful language. Press Secretaries are typically supposed to restrain that impulse, not all succeed. It's gotta be a rough gig sometimes, but that's what they sign up expressly to do.

Policy makers and Presidents have much more important priorities than press Q&A's but it still is part of the responsibility and the wise use to actually inform the public and set a positive tone. Some are more easily annoyed and some are capable of being quite colorful when they lose their temper.

That you have such a bee in your bonnet, burr in your saddle, about Biden using colorful language when annoyed seems just so...precious.

And to quote a Bidenism, "Come on man, look at the other guy"...

I'm all for Joe using all the colorful language his heart desires. Too bad most of his colorful language and verbal abuse and badgering is directed at his own people. They don't know him as kind and gentle poppa Joe.

Not true re Acosta questions for Biden, but you do you.

For instance, Acosta asked lots of tough questions re the pullout from Afghanistan. Deserved questions.

It would be true that Trump and Acosta got quite personally confrontational, but that's because Trump likes to bully reporters and Acosta made a decision to pushback hard. He was temporarily barred from the White House.

Biden's very rarely confrontational with reporters, at least publicly, and appears to at least attempt to answer questions truthfully...Trump quite rampantly lied and if there's anything that gets a reporter ticked it's when they know it's an obvious lie. But don't do that and they just ask policy questions.

Pretty sure you have zero idea what Biden's "people" think of him.
He certainly hasn't had most of his top Administration officials leave office, sometimes in disgrace, nor have any, much less most of them, come out publicly to say he's unfit for office and a danger to the country the way his predecessor has.

Again, it's just 'precious' that you're worried for "Joe's" "own people".

Suuuuuper easy to figure out why MDLax is giving you grief.

We had this Forum for the entirety of the Trump era.

Kindly show us your posts complaining about Trump's press conferences, and how he couldn't open his mouth without lying.

Or better yet, show us your posts complaining about how he shut down Press Conferences altogether.


.....we'll wait. And when you realize you "forgot' to whine and complain about lying politicians when they have a little R by their name?

You'll acknowledge that MDlax ain't the problem here. ;)


...I told you and the other Trump apologists that you'd have nothing to complain about when Biden showed up, YA. That when you ignored, or worse, DEFENDED all of Trump's nonstop lies and gaslighting, we'd know that you don't REALLY care when politicians lie......you just care when a Dem politician lies, and couldn't care less when your party lies to America.


And here we are......

That you have such a bee in your bonnet, burr in your saddle, about Biden using colorful language when annoyed seems just so...precious.

And to quote a Bidenism, "Come on man, look at the other guy"...
Wonder why Jim Acosta never asks Joe any tough questions?
Not true re Acosta questions for Biden, but you do you.

For instance, Acosta asked lots of tough questions re the pullout from Afghanistan. Deserved questions.

It would be true that Trump and Acosta got quite personally confrontational, but that's because Trump likes to bully reporters and Acosta made a decision to pushback hard. He was temporarily barred from the White House.

Biden's very rarely confrontational with reporters, at least publicly, and appears to at least attempt to answer questions truthfully...Trump quite rampantly lied and if there's anything that gets a reporter ticked it's when they know it's an obvious lie. But don't do that and they just ask policy questions.
:lol: :lol: Is there anything you will not defend so long as it puts Trump in a bad light. :roll:
Trump "puts" himself "in a bad light". All on his own.

Re Acosta I think he can get a bit supercilious at times, which can rub me the wrong way, but it's simply not true that he doesn't ask Biden or other Admin folks tough questions. He's fully capable of also being critical of the Admin when asked for an opinion.

But yeah, he's super tough on the BS and outright lying that comes from Trump and a big chuck of the GOP, particularly MAGA. But that's simply being tough on lying.

It's obvious why you asked about Acosta and why you might believe your Twitter feed over reality.

81+ million voters 'got it' that Trump would lie blatantly every time he stepped to any podium. That knuckle draggers and bigots and Fox bubble dupes not 'getting it' ain't persuasive.

But sure, Trump is and was "entertaining" as you had no idea what stupid or bigoted or lying thing he might say next. Riveting TV and the media couldn't get enough because viewers couldn't get enough, regardless of which perspective one had. Frankly, it says a lot about one's character if you actually knew what a lying, cheating, bigoted POS he was and supported him anyway. Dupes I have some more generous feelings. And that was the largest portion, IMO. I sure hope so.

Suuuuuper easy to figure out why MDLax is giving you grief.

We had this Forum for the entirety of the Trump era.

Kindly show us your posts complaining about Trump's press conferences, and how he couldn't open his mouth without lying.

Or better yet, show us your posts complaining about how he shut down Press Conferences altogether.


.....we'll wait. And when you realize you "forgot' to whine and complain about lying politicians when they have a little R by their name?

You'll acknowledge that MDlax ain't the problem here. ;)


...I told you and the other Trump apologists that you'd have nothing to complain about when Biden showed up, YA. That when you ignored, or worse, DEFENDED all of Trump's nonstop lies and gaslighting, we'd know that you don't REALLY care when politicians lie......you just care when a Dem politician lies, and couldn't care less when your party lies to America.


And here we are......
:lol: :lol: Kindly show me a clip where we are comparing apples to apples with Trump being told who he must call on with scripted responses...and then I'll entertain your rabbit hole, back seat driving shenanigan's. You can see in Bidens mirrors sunglasses the typed up responses he must read. Then I went on to expound Acosta heckled Trump daily, to the point he was removed....nothing more than click bait for CNN. But hey.....squirrel orange man bad, everything else pristine.

Lastly, I have said on multiple occasions that Trump's mouth got him in trouble and was the death of him; selective memory is rather convienant, huh? ;) :lol:

But not in trouble with you. Or at least not enough to call out his incessant lying.

You DID NOT criticize the lying, the gaslighting, every time he stepped to the podium to talk to the press.
Saying "his mouth got him in trouble" in retrospect is not remotely akin to criticizing the lying and gaslighting in real time.

Nah, let's criticize Biden for doing what all other Presidents have done other in managing press questions, other than the lying POS you preferred who didn't care about giving all a rotation. Let's pretend Acosta doesn't ever ask tough questions of Biden or other Dems or Admin officials.

And then feign outrage over anyone calling you out for it.

yes, in 2018 and 2021 you said that his "mouth" was a problem. But none of that called him out as incessantly lying. That's factual, not name calling, but apparently you can't bring yourself to say it straight. Couldn't then, still can't. Invitation is open, though.

I don't recall you ever saying "never again" would you vote for Trump, much less against him, after 2016 voting for HRC. Nope, just lots of defending him.

Just like all the voters who said "I wish he wouldn't tweet so much" and then voted for him, it's avoidance of dealing with the grotesqueness of his character. It's just way, way beyond the pale and any whataboutism simply fails the honesty test.

It's good to see so many of the former top officials who worked closest with him finally coming out straight about what they saw and that he's a danger to the country if ever enabled to have power again.

The invitation is open to anyone, no matter how deluded they were at some point before or defensive about their prior vote(s). It's never too late to 'come to Jesus' on this. But it could be too late if we collectively don't vote against him.

Care about having a viable, two party governing system that puts country over party when push comes to shove and which actually both try to do the right thing, including compromise? Gotta vote MAGA cultists out, again and again and again, until the GOP breaks its fever.

That's factual, not name calling, but apparently you can't bring yourself to say it straight. Couldn't then, still can't. Invitation is open, though.
