Democrats have been desperate for Joe Biden to hold nothing back in defining former President Donald Trump as an anti-democratic threat.
On Friday in Pennsylvania, the president did just that.
Biden’s 32-minute speech was a point-by-point takedown of Trump’s actions around the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, three years ago tomorrow. The president lambasted his predecessor as anti-American because of the way he supported the insurrection, called him the “election denier in chief” because of the way he continues to deny he lost the 2020 election, and, in a dig targeted at the image-conscience Trump, called the Republican leader “a loser.”
“Let’s be clear about the 2020 election. Trump exhausted every legal avenue available to him to overturn the election. Every one,” Biden said. “But the legal path just took Trump back to the truth: That I’d won the election and he was a loser.”Biden added: “We all know who Donald Trump is. The question we have to answer is, who are we? That’s what’s at stake.”
The speech, which Biden aides have cast as the opening salvo in the president’s race against the expected Republican nominee in 2024, sets up an extraordinary moment in presidential politics where the current officeholder, in his bid to keep the job, is questioning his predecessor’s commitment to democracy ahead of their expected rematch.
Democrats have publicly and privately urged Biden to repeatedly deliver this kind of message, questioning Trump’s commitment to American democracy and positioning the election as a stark, but simple, choice between him and Trump.
Valley Forge is the perfect place for this, with Four Seasons Lawn and Garden a close 2nd.
Wow – the MAGAturds really want to flood the zone with shit with multiple repostings on the SCOTUS Colorado case, rather than let the Biden speech be talked about.
I will be voting for Joe Biden in November.
“why this is bad for Biden”/s
Lol, Biden basically called Trump a “sick fuck.” Hilarious!
Great speech.
Note that in the past 40 years America has gone from:
– Almost everyone agreeing on continuing to have freedom and democracy while debating whether to raise or lower taxes on the wealthy and corporations
to:
– Locking in lower taxes for the wealthy while debating whether to become a fascist dictatorship and thus end freedom and democracy
Hard to look at this progression and not experience despair.
More of this please, Joe! We all know Biden is a dignified statesman, so I don’t mind him shaking that off a bit to call Diaper Donnie a loser. Hell, get meaner! He did say on the Conan interview that as a kid folks said “You can beat up Biden but he’ll hurt you goin’ down” so let’s see some of THAT (metaphorically… though a cage match between Joe and That Fuckin’ Guy would be cool too!)
Bring the heat Joe!
Fuck yeah!
It was a good speech. Said what I was thinking, but in a presidential way. He nailed it all for me…and I hope it resonates with America.
Survive, Joe. Survive.
Friday afternoon isn’t the best time for this to hit the news cycle, but hopefully it’s just the first of many.
Once again, Biden knows best. Pulling this speech out too early would have been a mistake. Waiting until the election year actually starts is smart. Voters have short attention spans.
He does 3 things fix the economy, eats ice cream, and woops tRUMPS ass.
Now tell me why that is bad for Joe Biden…
Bout time! GTFO & VOTE BLUE!!!’
He needs to be attacked on all possible fronts. This is a street brawl and you don’t win it by playing by Marquess of Queensberry rules. Eviscerate him with the weapons he has himself provided you with – his failings, criminality, and his disgusting behaviour.
Shame no one that votes for Trump listened.
If he keeps this up his approval ratings will go up.
Keep it up Joe!
He doesn’t look sleepy to me at all.
In fact, he looks quite fired up for a 81 year old.
He may have another 4 in him, afterall.
Let Biden be Biden.
Give ‘em *hell* Joe
I expect he’s going to ramp up these kinds of speeches this year. A way to remind all of us what is actually at stake
I love how the right says that this speech “proves Joe Biden is weaponizing the Federal Govt against his opponent” when Drumpf literally says “I am your Retribution”. Ol’ Orangeypoo literally will weaponize the government
> “The bottom line today is that Joe Biden has given up on running an issues-based campaign for 2024,” wrote Jason Miller, a top Trump adviser.
From the party whose 2020 campaign platform was proudly ‘Whatever Trump is barfing out of his food hole’.
Go Joe Go! Down with sHitler!!!
My vote won’t be for Biden. It will be a vote against Trump and for protecting democracy. Biden just gave me the okay with that speech. It was what he needed to say.
This speech should change the polls
This isn’t going to change many minds. What did he have to say about Gaza and Israel?
