MAGA derangement syndrome: Biden condemns ‘Make America Great Again,’ says Trump Republicans are threat

299

In a widely panned speech on Thursday night in Philadelphia, President Joe Biden attacked Republicans and other supporters of former President Donald Trump.

The speech, given in Independence Hall, is being widely seen as a condemnation of Republicans in the same way that Hillary Clinton called Republicans “deplorables” in 2016, only this time Biden painted Republicans who support Trump with the “extremist” label and said they are a threat to democracy.

“Too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal,” Biden said. “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”

Biden said, “Not every Republican, not even a majority of Republicans, are MAGA Republicans. Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology. But there is no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans. And that is a threat to this country.”

The White House insisted the speech was not political, but Biden implored his listeners to “vote, vote, vote.” He brought up Trump many times, and spoke to the differences between his vision of America and what he perceived to be Trump’s vision. On the White House Facebook page, numerous messages condemning MAGA Republicans, including lawmakers, were posted throughout the day by the Biden social media staff. Some found his message to be menacing. Behind him stood two U.S. Marines, in uniform.

The bulk of his speech, after the introduction, focused on “MAGA Republicans,” the danger of Trump, and how scary these Americans are who have influenced the Republican Party. Watch the speech at this White House Facebook link.

The transcript of the majority of the speech not summarized above:

These are hard things, but I’m an American president, not a president of red America or blue America, but of all America. And I believe it’s my duty, my duty to level with you, to tell the truth no matter how difficult, no matter how painful.

And here, in my view, is what is true: MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people. They refuse to accept the results of a free election, and they’re working right now as I speak in state after state to give power to decide elections in America to partisans and cronies, empowering election deniers to undermine democracy itself.

MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards, backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love. They promote authoritarian leaders, and they fanned the flames of political violence that are a threat to our personal rights, to the pursuit of justice, to the rule of law, to the very soul of this country.

They look at the mob that stormed the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, brutally attacking law enforcement, not as insurrectionists who placed a dagger at the throat of our democracy, but they look at them as patriots. And they see their MAGA failure to stop a peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 election as preparation for the 2022 and 2024 elections.

They tried everything last time to nullify the votes of 81 million people. This time, they’re determined to succeed in thwarting the will of the people. That’s why respected conservatives like Federal Circuit Court Judge Michael Luttig has called Trump and the extreme MAGA Republicans “a clear and present danger” to our democracy.

But while the threat to American democracy is real, I want to say as clearly as we can, we are not powerless in the face of these threats. We are not bystanders in this ongoing attack on democracy. There are far more Americans, far more Americans from every background and belief, who reject the extreme MAGA ideology than those that accept it. And folks, it’s within our power, it’s in our hands, yours and mine, to stop the assault on American democracy.

I believe America is at an inflection point, one of those moments that determine the shape of everything that’s to come after. And now, America must choose to move forward or to move backwards, to build a future or obsess about the past, to be a nation of hope and unity and optimism or a nation of fear, division and of darkness.

MAGA Republicans have made their choice. They embrace anger. They thrive on chaos. They live, not in the light of truth but in the shadow of lies. But together, together, we can choose a different path. We can choose a better path forward to the future, a future of possibility, a future to build a dream and hope, and we’re on that path moving ahead.

I know this nation. I know you, the American people. I know your courage, I know your hearts, and I know our history. This is a nation that honors our Constitution. We do not reject it. This is a nation that believes in the rule of law. We do not repudiate it. This is a nation that respects free and fair elections. We honor the will of the people. We do not deny it. And this is a nation that rejects violence as a political tool. We do not encourage violence. We are still an America that believes in honesty and decency and respect for others. Patriotism, liberty, justice for all, hope, possibilities — we are still at our core a democracy.

And yet, history tells us that blind loyalty to a single leader and a willingness to engage in political violence is fatal to democracy.

For a long time, we’ve told ourselves that American democracy is guaranteed, but it’s not. We have to defend it, protect it, stand up for it, each and every one of us. That’s why tonight, I’m asking our nation to come together, unite behind the single purpose of defending our democracy regardless of your ideology.

We’re all called by duty and conscience to confront extremists who put their own pursuit of power above all else. Democrats, independents, mainstream Republicans, we must be stronger, more determined and more committed to saving American democracy. And MAGA Republicans are destroying American democracy.

We, the people, will not let anyone or anything tear us apart. Today, there are dangers around us we cannot allow to prevail. We hear — you’ve heard it, more and more talk about violence as an acceptable political tool in this country. It’s not. It can never be an acceptable tool. So, I want to say this plain and simple: There is no place for political violence in America, period, none, ever.

You saw law enforcement brutally attacked on January the 6th. We’ve seen election officials, poll workers, many of them volunteers of both parties, subject to intimidation and death threats. And, can you believe it, F.B.I. agents just doing their job as directed, facing threats to their own lives from their own fellow citizens.

On top of that, there are public figures today, yesterday and the day before predicting and all but calling for mass violence and rioting in the streets. This is inflammatory. It’s dangerous. It’s against the rule of law. And we, the people, must say this is not who we are.

Ladies and gentlemen, we can’t be pro-insurrectionist and pro-American. They’re incompatible. We can’t allow violence to be normalized in this country. It’s wrong. We each have to reject political violence with all the moral clarity and conviction this nation can muster now.We can’t let the integrity of our elections be undermined, for that is a path to chaos. Look, I know politics can be fierce and mean and nasty in America. I get it. I believe in the give and take of politics, in disagreement and debate and dissent. We’re a big complicated country, but democracy endures only if we, the people, respect the guardrails of the Republic. Only if, we the people accept the results of free and fair elections. Only if, we the people see politics, not as total war, but mediation of our differences. Democracy cannot survive on one side believes there are only two outcomes to an election: Either they win or they were cheated. And that’s where the MAGA Republicans are today.They don’t understand what every patriotic American knows. You can’t love your country only when you win. It’s fundamental.

American democracy only works only if we choose to respect the rule of law and the institutions that were set up in this chamber behind me. Only if we respect our legitimate political differences.

I will not stand by and watch — I will not — the will of the American people be overturned by wild conspiracy theories and baseless evidence-free claims of fraud. I will not stand by and watch elections in this country stolen by people who simply refuse to accept that they lost. I will not stand by and watch the most fundamental freedom in this country, the freedom to vote and have your vote counted, and be taken from you and the American people.

Look, as your president, I will defend our democracy with every fiber of my being, and I’m asking every American to join me.

Throughout our history, America has often made the greatest progress coming out of some of our darkest moments like you’re hearing in that bullhorn. I believe we can and must do that again, and we are.

MAGA Republicans look at America and see carnage and darkness and despair. They spread fear and lies. Lies told for profit and power.But I see a different America — an America with an unlimited future, an America that’s about to take off. I hope you see it as well. Just look around. I believe we could lift America from the depths of Covid, so we passed the largest economic recovery package since Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and today America’s economy is faster, stronger than any other advanced nation in the world. We have more to go. I believe we can build a better America, so we passed the biggest infrastructure investment since President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and we’ve now embarked on a decade of rebuilding the nation’s roads, bridges, highways, ports, water systems, high-speed internet, railroads.I believe we can make America safer, so we passed the most significant gun safety law since President Clinton.

I believe we could go from being the highest cost of prescriptions to the world to making prescription drugs and health care more affordable, so we passed the most significant health care reform since President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act.

And I believed we could create a clean energy future and save the planet, so we passed the most important climate initiative ever, ever, ever.

The cynics and the critics tell us nothing can get done, but they’re wrong.

There is not a single thing America cannot do, not a single thing beyond our capacity if we do it together. It’s never easy. But we’re proving that America, no matter how long the road, progress does come.

Look, I know the last year, few years have been tough, but today Covid no longer controls our lives. More Americans are working than ever. Businesses are growing, our schools are open, millions of Americans have been lifted out of poverty. Millions of veterans once exposed to toxic burn pits will now get what they deserve for their families in compensation. American manufacturing has come alive across the heartland, and the future will be made in America, no matter what the white supremacists and the extremists say.

I made a bet on you, the American people, and that bet is paying off, proving that from darkness, the darkness of Charlottesville, of Covid, of gun violence, of insurrection, we can see the light. Light is now visible. Light that will guide us forward. Not only in words but in actions. Actions for you, for your children, for your grandchildren, for America.Even in this moment with all the challenges we face, I give you my word as a Biden, I’ve never been more optimistic about America’s future. Not because of me, but because of who you are.We’re going to end cancer as we know it, mark my words. We’re going to create millions of new jobs and a clean energy economy. We’re going to think big. We’re going to make the 21st century another American century because the world needs us to. That’s where we need to focus our energy. Not in the past, not on divisive culture wars, not on the politics of grievance, but on a future we can build together.

The MAGA Republicans believe that for them to succeed, everyone else has to fail. They believe America, not like what I believe about America. I believe America is big enough for all of us to succeed, and that is the nation we’re building, a nation where no one is left behind.

I ran for president because I believed we were in a battle of the soul of this nation. I still believe that to be true. I believe the soul is the breadth, the life and the essence of who we are. The soul is what makes us, us.

The soul of America is defined by the sacred proposition that all are created equal in the image of God, that all are entitled to be treated with decency, dignity and respect, that all deserve justice and a shot at lives of prosperity and consequence. And that democracy, democracy must be defended, for democracy makes all these things possible.

Folks, and it’s up to us. Democracy begins and will be preserved, and we the people’s habits of the heart — in our character, optimism that is tested, yet endures, courage that digs deep when we need it. Empathy that fuels democracy. The willingness to see each other not as enemies but as fellow Americans.

Look, our democracy isn’t perfect. It always has been. Notwithstanding those folks you hear on the other side there. They’re entitled to be outrageous. This is a democracy. But history and common sense — good manners is nothing they have ever suffered from — but history and common sense tell us that opportunity, liberty and justice for all are most likely to come to pass in a democracy. We have never fully realized the aspirations of our founding, but every generation has opened those doors a little bit wider to include more people who have been excluded before.My fellow Americans, America is an idea; the most powerful idea in the history of the world, and it beats in the hearts of the people of this country. It beats in all our hearts. It unites America. It is the American creed.The idea that America guarantees that everyone be treated with dignity. It gives hate no safe harbor. It installs in everyone the belief that no matter where you start in life, there’s nothing you can’t achieve. That’s who we are. That’s what we stand for. That’s what we believe.

And that’s precisely what we’re doing — opening doors, creating possibilities, focusing on the future — and we’re only just beginning.

Our task is to make our nation free and fair, just and strong, noble and whole, and this work is the work of democracy, the work of this generation. It is the work of our time for all time. We can’t afford to leave anyone on the sidelines. We need everyone to do their part, so speak up, speak out, get engaged, vote, vote, vote!

And if we do our duty, if we do our duty, in 2022 and beyond, then ages still to come will say we, all of us here, we kept the faith. We preserved democracy. We heeded our words. We heeded not our worst instincts but our better angels. We proved that for all its imperfections, America is still the beacon to the world, an ideal to be realized, a promise to be kept. There’s nothing more important. Nothing more sacred. Nothing more American. That’s our soul. That’s who we truly are. And that’s who we must always be.

I have no doubt, none, that this is who we will be and that we’ll come together as a nation that will secure our democracy. That for the next 200 years we’ll have what we had the past 200 years, the greatest nation on the face of the earth. We just need to remember who we are. We are the United States of America, the United States of America. And may God protect our nation, and may God protect all those who stand watch over our democracy.

God bless you all. Democracy. Thank you.

  1. That man’s speech tone gave me the impression the commander-in-chief has declared war just as
    george w bush spoke about sept 11 and iraq when he declared war.

    • And, as usual with Stalinists, Maoists and other radical leftist extremists, Pretendent Biden’s pathetic and divisive rant is just another example of their classic psychological projection, assigning to their opponents the very sins and crimes of which they themselves are guilty.

    • Apples and ranges, two completely different scenarios, two completely different contexts. Bush against the threat of a Middle East inspired threat to the principles and people of the United States, Biden against a conservative and law abiding political party and political leader in the United States with. Proven record of accomplishment IN EVERY ARENA that makes his party, administration and accomplishments look sick, pathetic, disastrous and very much in need of replacement . Basically a knee jerk reaction by a very frightened and ineffectual unduly elected President!!

  2. Notice Biden never defined what a “MAGA Republican” is. If he did, he would be forced to admit we are normal patriotic Americans who just want what is best for America. Biden wants to make it a crime to be a Republican. And he will wield the power of the federal government as a weapon to suppress us.

  3. I feel like this speech has put him into a rabbit hole there’s no coming out of, no matter who you are.
    if you ever wondered where Joe stood, ranked among other Presidents, this puts him easily on the path to worst conceivable. How long DC and media continue to prop him up is how dangerous things are gonna get.
    My heart is for MAGA and my gut says it’ll get worse before it gets better.

    • You’re ‘mad” because he’s telling the truth. The vast majority of the American public agree with him that it’s 1860 and 1940 all over again in this country.

      MAGA Republicans and their insurrectionist acts, threats and acts of political violence, and the fact that you totally abjure the rule of law make you an imminent threat to the American experiment. Total evil. Your days as a political scourge on American democracy are numbered.

      Your leader Trump is going to either Leavenworth or Florence CO. I prefer the SuperMAX in Florence. We all know he sold those TSIC and NDA Nuclear files to the Russians, among others. He’s a domestic terrorists, so let him live with all the other terrorists.

      • Take a breath Sophie! I am very concerned for your health. This much hate is bad for your blood pressure!
        Why is it that this administration can not handle political opposition?
        Why is it that this administration has to vilify those who do not bow at its altar? That’s not America. In this country people have burned the flag, protested, rioted and still in the end we all respected the fact that we are ALL Americans and entitled to our own opinions. Your hate and the president’s vitriol is shockingly reminiscent of pictures I saw in history class. The background of military personnel reinforces that image.
        Those who entered the Capitol are being prosecuted and punished under the law, but that is not enough for you. You sound like you want EVERYONE, who ever had a conservative thought in a “Re-education Camp”. Your hate and arrogance saddens me, especially since you bill yourself as the “party of tolerance and acceptance”

        • Political opposition?

          That’s what you call Trumpazees who hang from trees on the Ellipse wielding AR-15s, waiting to execute the “wild” event their “Dear Leader” promised. They refused to pass through magnatometers for ScumBag 45’s speech because they would be required to surrender those beloved weapons of war. No one thinks re-education is a solution. Bans and criminalization are solutions.

          Gen Z has it right. They are the generation annihilated in school shootings. Not you selfish, vicious child-murder worshipping weapons of war fetishists.. They want weapons of war banned. They want the creation, sale, and use of ghost guns made unclassified felonies or capital crimes.

          They’re right. They don’t want to live in the twisted. despicable world created by your gerrymandered dominantion of American politics. I’ll do everything I can to help them achieve their goal before I leave this world.

          • Interesting analysis, considering that you support child-murder on a epic scale cloaked in “a woman’s right to choose”. I don’t think your opinion holds any water. Also please be aware that at one point in time knifes were considered a weapon of war and in some cultures still are. Banning or criminalizing anything rarely achieves the desired result. Remember prohibition? How about the 40 year old war on drugs? I wish you find some peace and a way to spend your last years on this planet, seeing the good in people instead of hating them.

      • Sophie, is is the rabid authoritarianism, statism and extremism of you radical so-called leftists that is bringing civil war to this country. And as relentless as you , and they, are in doing so, I say bring it on — it frankly cannot come soon enough, so that normal, decent, rational and sane Americans can wipe the curse of your insane wokeist death cult from existence.

      • As a nonpartisan, I vehemently disagree. I’m not a Republican, but I am MAGA. Who in our country doesn’t want us to be great again? Well, one of those people would be Biden. Just look what he’s done to our country and our people, and here he is, practically declaring war on people like me. God knows his policies have declared war on Alaska.

        The violence was all over our cities, but apparently, some people have blinders on so tight, all they see is a January 6th insurrection. Documents taken by presidents have occurred for decades, but those blinders, again; all they see is the one they’ve been told to fear. And your speculations don’t make it so. Me, I’ll wait for the trial AGAIN.

          • “…….there have not been decades of of presidents removing documents…….”
            What do you think presidential libraries have in them? Coloring books? Have you ever been to a presidential library?

          • Obama has over 30 million pages of Presidential records in his possession.
            .
            But, he is a leftist, so I guess that does not count.

          • Uh, what about Hillary’s hundreds (maybe thousands) of deleted emails from her private server that got hacked? Why do so many of China’s latest fighter jets and even aircraft carriers look so much like ours? Hillary…

        • Ronald Reagan never publicly and overtly sicced Republicans on anyone who disagreed with him…and it was Reagan who coined the political phrase ” Make America Great Again.” Scumbag 45 — true to his former in business — stole a successful (political) theme, presented it to the manifestly ignorant, gullible, and racist masses — and remade himself as a “Republican” Huey P. Long.

          Realize this:
          You MAGAs are nothing but mid-20th Century Southern Dems, [i.e., 20th -21st century Republicans devoid of any cross-cultural inclinations or manipulations] slingshotted forward into the 21st Century — rabid racism and xenophobia intact — to do ScumBag 45’s bidding.

          Even the robot in “Lost In Space” had more agency than the MAGA mob ever ‘Will.’

          • You are correct. President Reagan never targeted his political enemies, publicly or behind the scenes. Then again, neither did President Donald J. Trump.
            .
            The man could have initiated an investigation into the Hillary Clinton server, or the Obama Justice Department’s Fast and Furious effort. But, he did not.
            .
            Yes, he was an ass on Twitter, but at no point did the FBI start raiding the homes of his political opponents.
            .
            But, we now have a pResident who is calling about 47% of the country enemies of the Republic. A pResident who is weaponizing the FDA, ATF, IRS, EPA, FBI, CIA, and the US military against US citizens who disagree with him, and his party.
            .
            So… why bring up Reagan? And, neglect to mention that Trump also did not sic his minions on people who disagree with him.

        • International traitor?

          Maybe you need to think about that little bit.

          First, the term is by definition an oxymoron.

          Second, only a leftist would even think there is such a thing as international loyalty.

        • Wow…. Lucinda… seriously. You did not just write this:
          “Don’t know what you mean by international loyalty.”
          .
          First of all, there was the thing about you needing to prepare for a lecture. I assumed that meant you were giving the lecture, but I have no evidence to support that assumption, nor did you refute it.
          .
          But, if you are, in fact, giving lectures to anyone, and you cannot figure out what Scott means by “international loyalty” you should never be allowed to stand behind a lectern ever again.
          .
          Then again, you are a leftist, which means you have the reasoning capacity of a child, so I will spell it out for you.
          1. You cannot be a traitor unless you have acknowledged and accepted loyalty to something, and then you violate that bond.
          2. There is no such thing as international loyalty. What could you declare loyalty to on an international basis? Hint: Nothing.
          3. Trump cannot be a traitor to something he has not sworn loyalty to.
          .
          Oh, and by the way. Trump is still causing you to stop thinking. I am actually beginning to think your brain turns completely off when his name is mentioned. It is difficult to believe someone with, what appears to be, no ability to perform a simple cause and effect analysis is still alive. Surely some accident would have killed you if you were this incapable of analysis. So, I am guessing the word Trump is the equivalent of the bell to Pavlov’s dogs. Total brain shutdown, instinctual reaction without intelligent consideration.

      • I am not a D or a R (though I once was one respectively). A pox on both your houses for what you have done to this country and culture over the last 30+ years. But the D’s are far worse these days, as evidenced by your post. The former president was a low character, low quality fool, but he did a fairly decent job of staying out of my life and staying out of wars. The current president is one of the worst in this countries history. To know him is to listen to what he calls his opponents. I remember “the pandemic of the unvaccinated” and the “winter of death” for them. I see all the oppression for nothing he imposed with his reaction to covid. I see he has colluded with tech platforms to censor speech. I see he has stoked the flames of war at every opportunity. I see instead of empowering individuals in this horrific economy, he has hired legions of irs agents to grind taxes further. And I see that he has sent his state police to his main political opponents home and is threatening to incarcerate him (or worse). Those are facts in light of the blind hate you have written. I am so thankful I do not have your soul. What a bitter and ugly thing that must be.

        • I see you: Let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Reality is not your thing. Especially since you spout all the right wing talking points.

          Halloween only comes once a year. Take the bloody mask off, MAGA.

          • LOL how convenient for you Sophie, can’t make a coherent argument you insult and belittle people, so you can stay in your fantasy bubble. We are not the enemy. If you like Biden and his policies fine, but YOU are not the arbiter of whom all of us have to support and follow. Seek help for your delusions of grandeur!

          • “Reality is not your thing. Especially since you spout all the right wing talking points.”

            Typical Leftist deflection, accusing your “enemy” of what you yourself is doing. Nice, but no go. People are wise to the lying, deceitful ways of the Left.

          • “It is usually futile to try to talk facts and analysis to people who are enjoying a sense of moral superiority in their ignorance.”

      • “…….The vast majority of the American public agree with him that it’s 1860 and 1940 all over again in this country……..”
        Well, better get your Liberty Garden planted. It’s going to get tough. I kinda’ doubt that the Trumpists are going to just lay down and die for you, and burning downtown businesses didn’t get it done, either. Maybe if the FBI starts by shooting Trump’s dog like they did at Ruby Ridge instead of shuffling around looking for papers, you might feel safer.

          • I don’t believe you know nothing about the internet. Do research sometimes instead of spending all your time here, wallowing in self delusion.

          • Behold psychotic Sophie personality #1 arguing with psychotic Sophie personality #2.
            .
            I don’t know about anyone else, but I find this spectacle as morbidly fascinating as it is entertaining.

          • Jefferson, I’m almost flattered that you effort reflecting my syntax to me. Almost.
            Psychotic? Your desperately cruel verbal attempts to attract and provoke responses from me over the past days are overt displays of your psychosis and psycopathy.

      • Sophie – your guy, Sloppy Joe, is the one who will be going to prison for treason & corruption. He is talking tough now because he is scared & desperate of what the midterm elections will bring. Of course, the Republicans have a knack for pulling defeat from the jaws of victory, but it seems to be stormy seas ahead for the Left.

          • “…….On what grounds would Biden go to prison?”
            Corruption. Lots of copies of the famous laptop hard drive out there. The FBI can’t destroy them all.
            Do you see the haters hounding Trump well after he’s out of the White House? Biden haters will do that, too. That’s how hatred works.
            Both ways.
            Enjoy the heat.

        • Chi-Com? That post WWII/John Bircher name-calling registers you as 85-to-90 years old.

          Whoosh! The sand is almost through the hourglass!

          Soon we can sing “Another One Bites the Dust!”

      • Sophie: you have sided with treason against our Constitutional Republic. You, and your ilk need some time in those prisons.

      • “The vast majority of the American public agree with him that it’s 1860 and 1940 all over again in this country.”

        That’s laughable, at best.

        “…threats and acts of political violence, and the fact that you totally abjure the rule of law make you an imminent threat to the American experiment. Total evil.”

        Nope, that’s you and your Antifa brothers and sisters, along with your BLM crowd.

    • Yeah, I think Trump’s heart is in the right place, and I’ll probably vote for him – if the Democrats now running the DOJ permit it.

      Main issue with his administration came down to two words: Jared Kushner.
      I get it, he wormed his way into Ivanka’s panties, so now he’s family – and Trump loves his family.

      But allowing Kushner into the White House is malpractice, akin to letting a venomous snake into your bed.
      If Trump makes clear moves to insure Kushner is permanently sidelined in 2024, I might even consider getting a new MAGA hat instead of just dutifully voting against the commie candidate.

  4. Joe’s awkward attempt at deflection. Now that Ashley Biden’s journal has been outed, it’s confirmed that Joe Biden is a pedophile. The entire Biden family is one mixed-up pot of sh*t.

  5. Ms Downing, you wrote that President Biden’s speech was « widely panned ».
    Could you please give your source(s) for this statement?
    Thank you in advance.
    Respectfully yours,
    Catherine

    • I tend to hold my breath through each April 19th and September 11th now. Have you noticed that the American flag is flown at half staff more often than full staff anymore?

  6. Biden wants only Republicans to turn the other cheek. His Communist mentality is showing. He blames the other side for what he is doing. Time for him to look in the mirror.

  7. Wonder how long it took them to translate from the original German text? Had to cross out Jew and write in MAGA, but the implication was the same. All that was missing was Sieg Heil!

    Gonna start painting “MAGA” with a skull on the front of conservative businesses?

    It’s an interesting strategy. Claim half of the country is a threat to democracy. He’s already said 2nd Amendment supporters would have to fight the US military.

    This the uniter you were looking for America? A deranged, angry man who seems determined to stoke more political violence.

    Clearly this man is mentally unbalanced. Can’t help but wonder if the Cabinet would invoke the 25th Amendment if it didn’t mean Cackles became President.

  8. Also speaks to just how bad the Democrats internal polling is. No other sane reason to pull this stunt.

    Dangerous waters ahead.

  9. Only 2 years, 2 months, 4 days until we flip the switch on Ol’ Joe and his cronies and vote for a new president.

    • Not if we turn Congress this fall. They impeached Trump twice within two years. If it’s good enough for the elephant, it’s good enough for the ass.

      • You’re really avoiding the writing on the wall, aren’t you?

        MAGA and the Supreme Court burned bridges to the vast majority of the Voting population with the overturn of Roe. Add ScumBag 45’s sale of our National Security to the highest bidder to his MAGA Insurrection.

        No amount of gerrymandering or voter suppression can save the MAGA party from a voter-instigated purge of your ilk from Congress and state houses.

        • “You’re really avoiding the writing on the wall, aren’t you?…….”
          Graffiti defacing the architecture? I don’t read it. It was put there by morons. I wash it off and turn in the surveillance videos to the cops.

  10. Under Obama it was the Tea Party that was the threat to the nation. Through Lois Lerner and the IRS, they drove it underground.. When Hillary referred to them as The DEPLORABLES, they came out in mass and voted for Trump. They had to stand by and watch their Leader be accused, and humiliated every day, even after his Presidency..Biden and company are PREPPING THE NARRATIVE for their Final Solution to MAGA, TRUMP, and his Supporters. That’s what President Biden speech was all about. I was surprised he delivered it so well—didn’t stutter , lose track, shake hands with ghosts, or load his pants. He was like Super Joe. Trump has been a good role model for how to behave. Just remember —Everything you say or do can be used against you.

    • Watch the end again. He did stick his hand out like he was going to shake hands, but then he made it look like he was directing famed pediatric neurosurgeon, Dr. Jill Biden, where to walk. But you nailed it on the Hitler ‘Final Solution ‘ speech. You could easily replace ‘Jew’ with MAGA and you couldn’t tell the difference.

    • That’s right. The Tea Party is considered a threat by Alaskan Republicans, too.

      Why else would 11,000 Republicans who voted for Nick Begich III in the first round REFUSE to select The Queen of the Tea Party, one Sarah Palin, for their second choice? And why would the vast majority of Republican voters choose Mary Peltola as their second choice?

      You’re losers in politics and life. Your racism, anti-women’s reproductive autonomy, book-burning, gay and trans-bashing, climate change denialism, voter suppression, insurrectionisism, FBI and law enforcement attacking, total denial of the rule of law make total enemies of the American experiment.

      Good riddance to bad rubbish.

      • Sophie, take your pills. You people are the party of defund the police and Burn Loot Murder, not us. Your party is directly to blame for the divisiveness in America not, not us. Your party spent four years stoking the fires, not ours. You’re pathetic and unhinged and dangerously brainwashed. Get thee to a nunnery. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
