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.
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".
It's equally as prescious that you'll give your girlfriend a pass for being a verbally abusive rectal orifice. You of all people who tries so desperately to be this forums version of Fred Rogers. You'll throw your sense of decency and decorum out the window when it comes to having your girlfriends back. :D
I use to be a people person until people ruined that for me.

See, there it is: you STILL defend Trump's nonsense. Always have. 'Orange man bad". TDS.

America is right to laugh at you and your fellow "TDS" crew anytime you whine about anything Biden says or does.

Because if you complain? The response is the dismissive: you have Biden Derangement Syndrome you and your crew handed us, and STILL hand us.



We had to put up with four years of you guys playing the TDS game. Now the shoe's on the other foot, and you don't like it.

No one cares what you think about Biden: you have now nominated YOUR MAN TRUMP THREE TIMES.

Biden could do ANYTHING. ANYTHING, and no one will complain, just as i told you would happen during Trump. You didn't want to hear it.

You made this bed, my man. Not me. You.

:lol: :lol: Is there anything you will not defend so long as it puts Trump in a bad light. :roll:
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.
Selective memory got you too, I see ;) I sure did prefer him over HRC, and I admitted never again.....but then again, your selective memory continues even after saying this plenty of times. I am not nearly as judgmental as you, merely saying his mouth got him trouble speaks volumes, no need to go all 13 year-old Starbucks gossipy. and name calling...that's your thing ;)

viewtopic.php?p=11748&hilit=mouth#p11748

viewtopic.php?p=249523&hilit=mouth#p249523
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. That was just a quick 30 second search for the term mouth. Of course he was lying, as do damned near all politicians, which I have said on many occasion.....more selective memory by you

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. :roll: You are exhausting, and clearly do not pay very close attention to what others say unless its in the moment. I have said this at least a dozen times.

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. Sorry to have to say this, but I believe the toothpaste is out of the tube, and it will be unlikely we ever see this again in our lifetime. We are going to need a major event take place, a 'come to Jesus" moment, that binds us all back together.
One at a time, former Trump supporters need to convert and oppose Trump. Let’s start with you. If you’ve already committed to that path and I missed it, all the better. I wouldn’t bother with these exchanges if I didn’t think you were capable of changing your views, so that must be based on some signals I took in good faith. Great.

I’m not looking for us all bound together, just an overall supermajority that rejects extremism from both directions and which believes in fair and honest democratic competition based on the merits of ideas, not ideology, and which values facts and logic and evidence over dogma of any sort. A supermajority which recognizes and accepts that compromise is necessary to good governance, regardless of who holds the temporary strings of power.

But it takes one voter, one official, one politician at a time to convert. Start with you, I already converted from just not supporting to actively opposing. We need more rational people of good conscience to do so.

First, Trump’s lying was incessant, epic scale, and no ‘all politicians lie’ doesn’t cut the mustard. Differentiate or it’s just another mealy mouthed defense of Trump.

Second, make clear that in a binary choice, you recommend we all vote against Trump for whoever has the best chance to defeat him, regardless of party, and regardless of enthusiasm. Vote against any election denier. Simple.

It’s likely to take multiple cycles of voting, but that’s how democracy actually works.

Is this supposed to be a misogynistic rant or a gay bigotry rant?

As to language, I have as colorful language as anyone in the intensity of competition on the field or court, so I’m certainly not going to get all precious about someone having and using expletives to get their point across.

That doesn’t mean I don’t value the benefit of civil dialogue, it’s a matter of time and place.

That you are getting all worked up about this is pretty ridiculous given your own predilections for letting loose. Or just plain hypocritical gaslighting.

Your overlooking the fact that I'm not the POTUS. I doubt that Ronald Reagan mother effed his own aides. As usual you will make excuses for angry Joe until the cows come home. You've even managed to delude yourself into thinking Biden is actually competent. Joe can be as foul mouthed and angry as he wants to. That doesn't bother me in the least. What bothers me about angry Joe is he works so hard to present himself as this kind and gentle old man who wouldn't hurt a fly. Which Joe is the real Joe? Is it angry, foul mouthed Joe? Is it kind and gentle Joe who speaks in a whisper? He was able to fool you, but there is nothing earth shattering about that revelation. :roll:

Thank you for dropping the misogyny or anti gay bigotry in your rant. ;)

Most people I know are capable of a wide range of behavior and ways they expesss themselves. If you think Biden is actually an abusive employer, don’t work for him. I have no such impression and apparently ‘his own people’ think he’s a good person. We don’t see people streaming out under scandal and disgrace nor shaking their heads in disgust. My impression is that relatively competent people are attracted and stick. That’s highly reassuring about this Administration.

I have all sorts of differences with numerous decisions that get made and am happy to discuss such rationally and civilly, but I see this complaint as enormously hypocritical coming from someone with so little own self-control and who is unwilling to see clearly how colossally better the management skills of this President are from his predecessor.

Likewise, there all sorts of ways that I wish our current President had better strengths and less weaknesses, than I believe he does, but we have a clear binary choice and it ain’t close.

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.
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".
It's equally as prescious that you'll give your girlfriend a pass for being a verbally abusive rectal orifice. You of all people who tries so desperately to be this forums version of Fred Rogers. You'll throw your sense of decency and decorum out the window when it comes to having your girlfriends back. :D
Is this supposed to be a misogynistic rant or a gay bigotry rant?

As to language, I have as colorful language as anyone in the intensity of competition on the field or court, so I’m certainly not going to get all precious about someone having and using expletives to get their point across.

That doesn’t mean I don’t value the benefit of civil dialogue, it’s a matter of time and place.

That you are getting all worked up about this is pretty ridiculous given your own predilections for letting loose. Or just plain hypocritical gaslighting.
Your overlooking the fact that I'm not the POTUS. I doubt that Ronald Reagan mother effed his own aides. As usual you will make excuses for angry Joe until the cows come home. You've even managed to delude yourself into thinking Biden is actually competent. Joe can be as foul mouthed and angry as he wants to. That doesn't bother me in the least. What bothers me about angry Joe is he works so hard to present himself as this kind and gentle old man who wouldn't hurt a fly. Which Joe is the real Joe? Is it angry, foul mouthed Joe? Is it kind and gentle Joe who speaks in a whisper? He was able to fool you, but there is nothing earth shattering about that revelation. :roll:
Thank you for dropping the misogyny or anti gay bigotry in your rant. ;)

Most people I know are capable of a wide range of behavior and ways they expesss themselves. If you think Biden is actually an abusive employer, don’t work for him. I have no such impression and apparently ‘his own people’ think he’s a good person. We don’t see people streaming out under scandal and disgrace nor shaking their heads in disgust. My impression is that relatively competent people are attracted and stick. That’s highly reassuring about this Administration.

I have all sorts of differences with numerous decisions that get made and am happy to discuss such rationally and civilly, but I see this complaint as enormously hypocritical coming from someone with so little own self-control and who is unwilling to see clearly how colossally better the management skills of this President are from his predecessor.

Likewise, there all sorts of ways that I wish our current President had better strengths and less weaknesses, than I believe he does, but we have a clear binary choice and it ain’t close.
So your perfectly okay with Biden being verbally abusive and cussing out his own people? Why doesn't Biden show the rest of America his true colors? Why not be as equally verbally abusive to the American people. Why doesn't Joe mother eff all Republicans and people who disagree with him? Maybe ALL members of the press are stupid SOBs? Those hot mikes sure are not very kind to Joe. I guess it really is a " big f***ing deal. ;) What we have is POTUS Jekyll and POTUS Hyde. He can toggle back and forth depending on who he is talking to. American gets kind and gentle and meek grandpa Joe who speaks barely above a whisper. His people get to deal with angry Joe whose repertoire of expletives is quite impressive. You do remember that angry Joe once boldly declared he would FIRE his own people that acted like he does? Not that that matters one iota to you. Your contempt for trump allows you to be more acceptable of angry Joes volatile demeanor. I understand why you feel that. Out of curiosity how many of your own people working for you were you verbally abusive to on a regular basis? I'm guessing that type of demeanor isn't in your DNA.

Pretty funny you’re being critical of a Biden mix up with a… YA mix up.
Every reason to be critical, if the guy can not recall what took place minutes prior.
A lot of people have trouble understanding what Biden is saying. That is not because he is whispering either. There are just an endless amount of video clips of Joe blubbering incoherently. There are also endless clips of trump berating anyone who he disagrees with. What trump said about his own generals that he had in his administration was disgusting to say the least. Maybe trump should have perfected the art of babbling incoherently like Joe. Then folks wouldn't really be certain about anything trump rambles on about. :D

You ever get ready to go out, get into the garage and think you forgot to take your keys off the counter, only to pat your pocket and realize they're there? Nah, not you. Ever.

Lots of things to be critical of. Forgetting the photographer already took the photo isn't one of them.

The point is 'forgetting' SCLax, that is the only point. It is not isolated, the guy forgets where he is regularly, how to exit a stage, what he is supposed to read, has to prompted regularly in public. It's not like I am criticizing him for the sake of criticizing him. My FIL is acts, walks, and 'forgets' just like Joe at the age of 84 and he needs consistent prompts and reminding like Joe.

Now you presented a conundrum. Can you fill potholes at 2 am while wiping fannies at the nursing in the same day? Better get that asphalt of your hands before you wipe somebodys fanny. :o

Your slip is showing, now we know what you really think about migrants and their purpose here. You don't really care about them.
