Biden heads west for a policy victory lap, drawing an implicit contrast with Trump
The Associated Press ^ | August 7, 2023 | BY CHRIS MEGERIAN (D-AP)

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is setting out Monday on a Western swing aimed at showcasing his work on conservation, clean energy and veterans’ benefits as he seeks to draw an implicit contrast between his administration’s accomplishments and former President Donald Trump’s legal troubles.

Biden’s first stop will be the Grand Canyon, where he’s expected to announce plans for a new national monument to preserve more than 1 million acres (405,000 hectares) and limit uranium mining. After Arizona, he will travel to New Mexico and Utah.

The Democratic president will be in Albuquerque on Wednesday and will talk about how fighting climate change has created new jobs, and he’ll visit Salt Lake City on Thursday to mark the first anniversary of the PACT Act, which provides new benefits to veterans who were exposed to toxic substances. He’ll also hold a reelection fundraiser in each city.

Biden will use the three-night trip to “continue to highlight the progress he’s making across his agenda,” particularly when it comes to climate change, said Natalie Quillian, the White House deputy chief of staff.

iden will be fresh from more than a week of vacation in Delaware, where he stayed at family homes in Rehoboth Beach and Wilmington. On the day that Trump faced a new indictment for attempting to overturn his 2020 election loss, Biden went to a fish restaurant with first lady Jill Biden, attended a screening of the movie “Oppenheimer” and took a moonlit walk across the beach.

He hasn’t commented at all about the charges against his predecessor, maintaining the same strategic silence he did regarding the previous two indictments.

I’ve seen a number of articles from the AP doing puff pieces on Biden and disparaging Trump the past few days.

I think they’ve got the word to push the narrative harder.

Amazing how biased and partisan they’ve become, and they seemed already maxed out even before...

“and took a moonlit walk across the beach.”

Nauseating doesn’t begin to describe this kind of propaganda. AP really sets the bar for this BS.

Problem is when you have a propaganda media doing the commie’s bidding its hard to beat that..its what people see, even if they dont believe it they will say “Well if the media says Biden is doing great I guess its true”

Must be nice to have a job where you don’t have to do any real work, can go on vacation 40% of the time and the rest of the time ride your bike and look for new ice cream stores and take naps, fly about 120 miles on a 747 to take even more vacations and/or get dosed with anti-dementia drugs.

The Praetorian Guard will blame any and all ills on Trump from here to election day. A Convenient scapegoat.

Trump’s legal trouble “sucks the oxygen out of everything else” and limits the chances for Republicans to discuss other issues, such as the economy.

“People like to say nothing matters anymore,” she said. “But the conversation that you’re not having actually does matter.”

‘When you’re explaining, you’re losing.’ Dems don’t have to explain anything.

Yes. Biden is proving he can surpass Obama’s fundamental transformation of America. Some “victory.”

Since the release of Hunter’s sweetheart plea court hearing
the Wash/ Post has given Joe Biden four Pinocchios
WRT his flimsy denials of any knowledge of same, saying:

“Now, nearly three years later, after Biden’s assertions and false denials,
he has been directly rebutted by Hunter himself” through Hunter’s own court testimony
about his profitable China deals.

The geedy Bidens travel on China Silk Road Paved with Cash:
Court records confirm millions flowed to the Biden family from China.
Prosecutor’s evidence trail in Hunter Biden plea case directly contradicts
denials made by Joe Biden for years.

The humongous payments to the Bidens from Communist China
and Joe Biden’s efforts to conceal them raise larger questions
about whether such monies to his family caused Biden
to take actions harmful to Americans like:
<><> refusing to shoot down a Chinese spy balloon
<><> shuttering the FBI’s main Chinese counter-intelligence program
<><> failure to root out Chinese spies in U.S. academia
<><>among many.
