Double Standards by the press.....

Executive Order on Protecting the Federal Workforce and Requiring Mask-Wearing​

Accordingly, to protect the Federal workforce and individuals interacting with the Federal workforce, and to ensure the continuity of Government services and activities, on-duty or on-site Federal employees, on-site Federal contractors, and other individuals in Federal buildings and on Federal lands should all wear masks, maintain physical distance, and adhere to other public health measures, as provided in CDC guidelines.

@dutchie - Hannah Mouncey (pictured) plays Aussie Rules, so you need to ask our PM about your concerns, not anyone in America.

What will Sleepy Joe do about the fascists Antifa?

@dutchie - the people in your picture are anarchists, and clearly are doing Biden no favours. Similarly, your post #433 and @wayneL's post #434 are incorrectly attributed to Antifa .

It will be interesting to see how the U.S respond to China's Taiwan flyovers, funny they didn't do when Trump was in office, that's one advantage of a U.S president who is unpredictable.
It probably wont be long before China ups the anti on Taiwan and commences integration. IMO It will be interesting to see how Biden handles it.

China sends more fighters and bombers through Taiwan's airspace

Just days after Joe Biden's inauguration as US President, China tests the new administration by repeatedly flying military aircraft including nuclear-capable bombers into Taiwanese airspace.

www.abc.net.au

@sptrawler - people might not like the idea, but internationally the reality is that most governments (Australia and the USA included) adhere to the "one China" policy. It's a bit like when the Tasmanian Premier did not like it when Gareth Evans ordered "spy flights" over Tasmania.

@DB008 - you say "Biden isn't a President - he's a dictator and China own him" and offer nothing to support these opinions, despite @Joe Blow making a point about the lack of "discussion" in this thread. Furthermore, your point above about "double standards" is simply wrong, as you have not read or do not understand the Executive Oder on mask wearing.

Then we have @qldfrog saying inter alia that "Biden or at the very least his son is corrupt, that's a given for any non partisan observer..but maybe we should not judge the Dad for the son's actions." Yest in 4 years with all the power of his government behind him, Trump only managed to promulgate lies and rumours about the Bidens. Your definition of "non-partisan" does not cut the mustard.

On topic proper, Biden has made fighting covid his number one priority. The legacy of Trump's mismanagement of the vaccine rollout is now clear. So poorly organised was it that the Biden Administration in the past 4 days has been unable to do a proper stock take of what's where, and how much can be immediately distributed. Leaving a Health initiative for the Army to oversee was another of Trump's flawed policy decisions.

I think he should turn his attention to this little core of anarchists after he sorts he out the Q Anon members of Congress who have been called for Nancy Pelosi to be shot and Clinton and Obama hanged.

And then there is the matter of the thousands of Trumpites who stormed Congress a few weeks ago .

Priorities Dutchie.

No action taken against Republican who indicated support for executing Pelosi

House minority leader has said only he ‘planned to have a conversation’ with congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene

Democrats positioning country for single party system.

Joe Biden is setting up a Supreme Court reform commission that could open way to 'court-packing' but it will include conservative ally of Brett Kavanaugh​

• Joe Biden has started setting up a commission that would look at Supreme Court and federal judiciary reforms, which could lead the way toward 'court-packing'
• The commission would include conservative Jack Goldsmith, who advocated for Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation in 2018
• This appointment of Kavanaugh ultimately led to progressive Democrats to call for adding more seats to the Supreme Court
• Another person Biden has tapped for his commission has said she sees validity in the idea of expanding the highest U.S. court

Joe Biden setting up commission that could open way to 'court-packing'

Joe Biden is creating a commission to study reforms to the Supreme Court, a new report revealed Wednesday, which could pave the way for Republican's nightmare of 'court packing'.

Gee, I can't agree to Clinton and Obama being hanged.
Priorities indeed. But he will have to deal with the fascists eventually.

I suggest the urgent extremist priority for the Biden administration is this issue

DHS Warns Of 'Heightened Threat Environment' From Domestic Violent Extremists​

"Information suggests that some ideologically-motivated violent extremists with objections to the exercise of governmental authority and the presidential transition, as well as other perceived grievances fueled by false narratives, could continue to mobilize to incite or commit violence," the bulletin said.

The new bulletin noted that those it calls domestic violent extremists are motivated by a range of issues, "including anger over COVID-19 restrictions, the 2020 election results, and police use of force."
It also said that some violent extremists are driven by "long-standing racial and ethnic tension," including opposition to immigration, citing the 2019 shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, where a gunman killed 23 people.

DHS Warns Of 'Heightened Threat Environment' From Domestic Violent Extremists

The bulletin did not cite any specific threat but said that the risk of violence will persist for weeks. It warned that some extremists may be "emboldened" by the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

So Sleepy Joe is:
1. A dictator
2. A liar
3. A hypocrite

“I have this strange notion. We are a democracy,” Biden sardonically declared, pointing out that “Some of my Republican friends, and some of my Democratic friends occasionally say ‘well if you can’t get the votes, by executive order you’re going to do something'”.

“You can’t do it by executive order, unless you’re a dictator,” Biden declared, adding “We’re a democracy, we need consensus.”

Biden signs record number of executive actions in first week​

President Biden has signed a record 37 executive actions in his first week in office, and the exact number of executive orders is not known because the Federal Register has not been updated since Jan. 21.

With just six days in office under his belt, the 46th commander-in-chief has issued more edicts in his first week than any of his predecessors.

@Joe Blow has warned that your posts like yours, above, @dutchie don't belong here:

How did we manage to arrive at a place where the "content" (again, I use the term loosely) in a political thread can consist primarily of ad hominem attacks, trolling, conspiracy theories, partisan tweets and photos of dubious origin?

Perhaps I can respectfully suggest that those who are not interested in engaging in genuine discussion and debate find another venue to post at. Most of what has been posted in this thread recently is embarrassing, and I'm not prepared to let it continue.

Furthermore, while you claimed that "the exact number of executive orders is not known because the Federal Register has not been updated since Jan. 21," any competent person would find they are updated as they occur at the White House site.

If posters break the terms of service of this site and continue to do this after they have been warned, there is a resolution that you have at your command.

You blokes are worse than Zuckerberg, Dorsey, Bezos et al.
Don't I agree with your narratives enough?
Hypocrites.

 

[SirRumpole]

So we are going to have to put up with tirades from right wing nutters and failed Presidents in a thread that is supposed to be about Biden's policies ?

I reckon a thread should be started called "Crazy conspiracy theories" and all those posts that the moderator thinks fall into that category be moved to that thread so the rest of us can ignore them.

@DB008's post needs to moved from this thread to one which deals with short selling or ramping, as here's another side to it that affects the Australian market. Essentially GME (a US ticker) is presently locked into the possible manipulations available via electronic trading, full stop, and the US's regulatory framework needs to play catch up. Anyone getting onboard GME at $3 in the last year could have profited a hundred times over. Maybe GME gets honourable mentions over at Hotcopper?

Teacher! teacher! Dutchie is is not playing by the rules!

Who cares. Let people write what they want. Stop whinging people. Ignore the posts if you dont like them. Nothing anyone else has wrtten has been about biden lately.

I believe the first 6-12 months of biden will be entirely covid, climate and social agenda. Lots of executive orders which wont do much as this is not a dictatorship. Need to keep the Hollywood wokes happy. It will take republicans a while to regroup. Unless covid is done and dusted and jobs are back to normal within 6 months of mid-terms we'll see Biden revert back to a message of economy, jobs and a revised toned down america first policy otherwise thet may lose both houses. To me the only possible major issue will be court packing. But i dont see that happening. Its too risky.

I genuinely think trump will be out of politics either with his own media company or reality show in russia.

 

[basilio]

Excellent explanation the role of Executive Orders for a President. Does make it easier to "do things" but can just as easily be rescinded or challenged.
Many of the current executive orders are dealing with the overwhelming COVID issues so it is not a valid comparison with previous administrations.

Biden has signed five times the number of executive orders Trump did in his first week. Here's why

Joe Biden is signing a raft of executive orders, nearly six times more than his predecessor, Donald Trump. Reversing Trump policies isn't the only reason he's wielding the pen.

I really can't see the problem @rederob and @SirRumpole but lets unpack this.

@wayneL 's wild conspiracy theories ie "collapse of the currency engineered by the Fed" etc , the adhom, strawman and word salad debating style, its great. The fact he fully believes this wins debates regularly makes me laugh myself to sleep, in pain, pain from the laughter cramps. Lets face it, Wayne is no fan of the Marques of Queensberry. He's my favourite! I'd like to give the little munchin a big bear hug, all 55kg of him.

@dutchie and @DB008 : lets face it, school holidays are over so they should be on here less. Perhaps their faked photos, propaganda and false allegations of people being Paedophiles etc could be kept to little lunch and big lunch.

@moXJO obviously a right wing propagandist posting to numerous sites. What rational Australian person admits on here to "training with members of the Proud Boys. My congratulations to @satanoperca the only person to endure Moxjo's propoganda posting and kick his butt debating. My hats off to you Satan!!!

@sptrawler : as Football players get older they tend to niggle and antagonise every run every tackle. Its a common trait among those losing their abilities in Sport.

Society's congratulations and thanks to Bas, Rump, Red, Belle, Ifocus etc for enduring these characters and fighting the good fight to ensure truth and facts are publicised. Thank you.

That was a pretty savage skewering of our esteemed colleagues. You must have been lurking for ages reading reams of comments to come up with that analysis.

Welcome to this little corner of ASF.
