  1. > With these words Biden addressed the bitter irony that haunted the commemoration ceremonies. While D-Day occurred eight decades ago, America is now just five months from an election that could bring to power a man and a movement who embody and celebrate the twisted authoritarian values of the enemies we sought to defeat so long ago.

    > Fascism has not gone away. The tactics of the Nazis to employ racism and demagoguery to divide society and enable their seizure of power and their gutting of democratic institutions currently are the playbook of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.

  3. Trump, MAGA (formerly known as Republicans), the Heritage Foundation, the Federalist Society, and billionaires are existential threats to American democracy, the American way of life, and human beings.

    They are the drivers of fascism in the US.

  4. As if Biden is an authority on the subject. If Biden aiding Isreal’s ethnic cleansing and showing support to the police in beating and arresting peaceful pro-palestine protestors isn’t evidence that he’s a fascist just like Trump then I don’t know what is.

  5. Almost “everyone” in Europe understands this, why doesn’t America.

  6. >Some of those were the members of the GOP MAGA alliance that for months blocked aid to Russia

    Uhhh, major typo there lol

  7. >Trump and the MAGA movement are on the wrong side. They are, in terms that World War II leaders would understand, the enemy. They are no different in many key ways from those who 80 years ago sought to obliterate our institutions and destroy our democracy.

    The GOP always wants to move backward, and all for power and greed, it is NEVER for altruistic purposes. I hope people see the only way to move forward and prosper is to vote BLUE in this election.

  9. It was a good speech, and hopefully it inspires people to look closer at the tactics employed not only by the MAGA movement, but also by Putin and others like him.

    Putin recognized the fault lines in the American social fabric and exploited them. It doesn’t help that he’s been helped by social media giants ranging from the sympathetic (Musk) to the indifferent (Zuckerberg) along with paid-for politicians like Tommy Tuberville peddling pro-Russian talking points.

  10. Just so everyone is aware Biden shat himself during Macrons speech and Jill had to escort him out to get cleaned up. For anyone praising him the man shits himself ffs

  13. Now imagine if it was DJT:

    “We’re here to honor the sacrifice of those who died on D-Day, so happy D-Day, everybody. You know, I know a little about sacrifice, with those totally unfair charges, a real disgrace, that I can tell you, and the highly conflicted Soros-funded judge who’s out to get Trump like Alvin Bragg who ran on ‘I’m out to get Trump’ and it’s a shame, a real shame, and you won’t have a country anymore. Sad! But D-Day, beautiful, a tremendous, beautiful battle where we stopped the Germans and rammed the ramparts, bombed their airports, their beautiful airports. Don’t get me wrong, Hitler did some good things too, but he went too far, everyone says he went too far, all the experts. And if you elect Trump, you’ll get your country back unlike Sleepy Joe and his gang of Radical Marxists, they’re bad people and in many cases, sick people, these people are sick, they’re lowlife Marxist thugs, that I can tell you”

    Naww, nevermind, I’s just funnin y’all.

    He’d never go there anyway.

  14. Sadly Biden is practicing Diet Fascism and enabling full-on Fascism! We need better progressive democrats to save democracy. AIPAC must die!

  15. What, you mean like attempting to jail your political opponents because nobody wants to vote for you? Did he nail it before or after shitting his pants next to Macron and his wife?

  16. Biden did well here. Felonious Trump should be in prison.

  17. Awesome speech! I’m so proud and grateful to have Joe Biden as our President.

    > **Democracy is never guaranteed. Every generation must preserve it, defend it, and fight for it. That’s the test of the ages.**

  20. Ha! That’s rich. Biden and his administration want total control over everything. That is a facist.

  21. really??? biden isn’t exactly doing a good job at stopping fascism. On the contrary, Biden is rolling out the red carpet for fascism. Militarized police forces attaking and arresting peaceful protesters who are against genocide and war, ignoring the people of the nation in favor of the nation itself basically ignoring the trees that make up the forest, he’s ignored national crises in favor of sending funding to other fascist governments and helping propagate multiple genocides and unwinnable wars. If Biden isn’t the new Hitler, then his administration and policies will be what leads to a new one coming about. He’s doing everything he can, on purpose or just by chance, to make sure a Fourth Reich comes to be, in the USA.

  23. just wondering, you guys can downvote me to hell but at least give me a proper response. Why do you guys support biden supporting isreal and how come you guys don’t support the protests at colleges against isreal?

  24. What’s he doing about it besides watching it happen??

  25. He couldn’t finish greeting the veterans, and the French President had to take over while Jill Biden escorted him off. This showed poor leadership and disrespect for the occasion. D-Day should be about honoring the soldiers who fought for freedom, not pushing political agendas. Previous presidents, including Trump, have kept the focus on the military and the event’s dignity. Media outlets like The Daily Beast ignore Biden’s failures under his administration and instead rely on using rhetoric in their writing to keep pushing this failed “fascism” agenda.

  26. Biden has never nailed a speech in his life! Whoever wrote it for him did a good job but all he is, is a puppet that doesn’t know who what or where he is!

  27. I’m a bit out of the loop on this one, but why are right wing nut jobs saying Biden pooped his pants? I saw the video and saw nothing that would suggest that.

  30. Convicted felon Trump. That’s all we need to know. And there are more cases. Guy is a criminal, enough of his bullshit.

  31. Biden made a great speech today. In the old days, we would’ve seen it, would’ve been the first thing on every news station. But now it’s not salacious enough for the news to pay attention to.

  32. Speaking of fascists, where the hell was Drumpfty today?? 

    Did anyone watch his “town hall” in AZ?? Can’t stand the sight or sound of this 🤡, so I skip “news” of his rallies, public bc, so wondering whether he said anything about D-Da or did he just brag about being the greatest military leader…greater than Julius Caesar??

  33. A pro-Biden article … there must be Blue Moon out.

    It is nice to see.

  34. That’s nice. On one side – “against fascism”(thanks), on the other – do not allow Ukraine hit heart of modern fascism – moscow….

  35. Those words ring hollow with his unconditional military and diplomatic support of Israel’s genocide against the Palestinians.
