Joe Biden nukes Donald Trump's assault on democracy in one of most powerful speeches
2024-01-07
[GEO.TV] President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem machine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family...
delivered a searing and impassioned speech just miles from historic Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, decimating Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
and condemning his attacks on American democracy, Raw Story reported.

The address is being hailed as one of Biden's most powerful, with politics editor Marty Kady noting, "This may be the most powerful speech — just a few minutes in — Biden has ever given."

Former Republican Congressman Joe Walsh praised Biden for directly confronting Trump, stating, "Republicans cannot defend what Joe Biden is forcefully calling out. They just can’t."

The President, displaying a mix of anger and passion, tore into his likely 2024 opponent, with The New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

describing it as a "ferocious condemnation."

Biden explicitly addressed Trump's reluctance to denounce political violence, declaring, "Political violence is never ever acceptable in the United States. Never, never, never. It has no place in a democracy. None." He sharply criticised Trump and his supporters for embracing political violence and making light of it.

Referring to Trump's jokes at rallies, Biden exclaimed, "What a sick —" before stopping himself from name-calling. He expressed his disdain, stating, "I think it's despicable. Seriously. Not just for a president but for any person to say that, say it to the whole world listening."

Biden emphasized that Trump's assault on democracy is not just in the past but is a promise for the future. He asserted, "Trump's assault on democracy isn't just part of his past. It's what he's promising for the future. He's being straightforward."

The President's forceful condemnation underscores his commitment to defending democratic values against any threat, leaving a lasting impact on the political landscape, according to political observers.

#11  The Dems are not just keeping Trump off the Rep ballot but they are also manipulating Dem primaries to keep others, e.g. Dean Phillips, off the ballot. And of course Biden hasn't had to debate which is what made RFK Jr. turn into an independent.

Biden is actually the one assaulting democracy

#10  The electoral college should screw Joe and anyone they replace him with. His policies are unpopular in all the swing states where Joe barely squeaked by before anyone had evidence of his harmfully policies and incompetence. Newsflash - they also cheated. They will eventually try to swap candidates to divorce the ticket from the wreckage of the Biden policy. It will be somebody like Whitmer. None of them will be electable by conventional ballots cast by living legal voters so the Dems may still win. The swap will just make things sort of believable.

Did he steal this one from Neil Kinnock too?

#2  "Our Democracy" = Our Power
This country was founded by 'insurrectionists'. What the Declaration of Independence articulated in 1776 is applicable today.
