After four years of attacking President Donald Trump as “illegitimate,” “fascist,” “Nazi,” “tyrant,” “dictator,” “racist,” “anti-Semitic,” “Russian stooge,” “traitor,” “grifter,” “xenophobe,” “sexist,” “homophobe,” “ignorant,” “fat” and “lazy,” former Vice-President Joe Biden, the presumptive president-elect, now says, “Let’s heal.”
In his “victory speech,” Biden said: “And to those who voted for President Trump, I understand your disappointment tonight.
“I’ve lost a couple of elections myself. But now, let’s give each other a chance.
“It’s time to put away the harsh rhetoric. To lower the temperature. To see each other again. To listen to each other again.
“To make progress, we must stop treating our opponents as our enemy. We are not enemies. We are Americans.
“The Bible tells us that to everything there is a season — a time to build, a time to reap, a time to sow. And a time to heal.

Well, that’s lovely. But please forgive Trump supporters for not being in a mood to “heal.”
How bogus was the Trump-Russia collusion investigation that consumed most of the Trump presidency? Neither Joe Biden nor Kamala Harris bothered to mention it during the campaign. Ditto for Trump’s impeachment. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and former FBI Director James Comey now admit that, knowing then what they know now, they would not have signed off on FISA warrants that were crucial to the investigation.
National Review wrote: “Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein testified to Congress on Wednesday that he would not have signed off on a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant renewal to spy on former Trump campaign associate Carter Page had he been aware then of the unreliability of the underlying evidence.
“‘If you knew then what you know now, would you have signed the application?’ Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham asked Rosenstein during his testimony.
“‘No, I would not,” Rosenstein replied.
Similarly, Comey admits he would not have signed off on the Carter Page FISA applications if he knew then what he knows now. “No, I would want a much more complete understanding of what we were doing,” said Comey.
Republicans and Democrats acknowledge the 2016 Russian election interference, but 78% of Democrats, according to an August 2018 Gallup poll, believe that “Russians interfered in the 2016 campaign and that it changed the outcome of the election.”
Advertisement Article content continued Never mind that Jeh Johnson, President Barack Obama’s secretary of Homeland Security, in his 2017 prepared testimony before Congress, said: “On Election Day, DHS assembled a crisis-response team to rapidly address any reported cyber intrusions into the election process. To my current knowledge, the Russian government did not through any cyber intrusion alter ballots, ballot counts or reporting of election results.”
Whatever Russia, China or Iran did to meddle with our elections pales in comparison to the impact of our biased, bigoted, Republican-hating, class-warfare waging, secular, “health care is a right,” “there’s no such thing as illegal people, only ‘undocumented,'” Donald Trump-hating media. Let’s compare the impact of Russian, Chinese or Iranian election interference with the election interference of the American media.
In his book “Left Turn: How Liberal Media Bias Distorts the American Mind,” Professor Tim Groseclose, economics and political science professor, attempts to quantify the impact of our left-wing media. How do our overwhelmingly liberal media affect how Americans think and vote? Groseclose wrote in 2011: “For the past several years, I have researched this question, trying to solve the following thought experiment: What if media bias were suddenly to disappear? In such a world, how would America look and act politically?
“The answer is, approximately like Texas.” (Note: This year, Trump handily won that state.)
“More specifically, if media bias were to disappear, according to the analysis, then America would think and vote like any region that voted around 56-43% for Republican John McCain in the last presidential election. Besides Texas, such regions include Kansas, North Dakota, Kentucky, Salt Lake County, Utah, and Orange County, Calif.”
This raises a question. Mr. Biden, which side needs to heal?
How does your brother feel about that?
This (non-racist) Trump voter to Biden:
Let’s get you to a nursing home.
I want to know who writes this clap-trap for him. Can’t he be brought out to be introduced to the public and commended for his brilliance? Maybe this guy - John Meacham. Sure sounds like a straight up guy to me - (puke)!
“But perhaps the most jarring revelation about the MSNBC contributor was that Meacham was invited on-air Saturday night and praised the victory speech Biden gave, a speech Meacham himself wrote and didn’t disclose to MSNBC anchor Brian Williams.
“I’m not the historian that you are, and I don’t have the Pulitzer that you do, but do you concur that is the way we are used to hearing from our presidents?” Williams asked.
“Absolutely,” Meacham answered.
The Times also reported that Meacham would no longer be on MSNBC’s payroll but he would still be welcomed to the network as a guest.””
The media supported and propped up Hillary and the belief that it was stolen from her. They can’t have it both ways. Screw unity.
One problem with saying “let’s heal” is that he and his party keep calling conservatives Nazis, as he just did a few weeks ago. What does it mean to now say “let’s heal”? Is he saying he was lying? Of course not. I am certain the Dems will continue to say that in 2022. If Biden runs again in 2024 and the election is close, I believe it is certain he’ll say that again.
Anyone who really wants the country to “heal” would speak out against Antifa. Will Antifa go away now, because he said “let’s heal”? Of course not. Does he even want Antifa to go away? I believe the answer is a big fat “no”. Or even if he does, would he ever publicly repudiate them? He refused to do so in the debates. I say he will never do it.
The bottom line: Biden has zero credibility when saying “let’s heal”.
Yeah he has experience in feeling people up like little girls.
She’s my husband’s sister, actually. He has struggled with her himself for many years. He is more upset than I am because I have gone No Contact with her in the past and only started talking to her about a year ago. He’s the one I feel for and out of love for him I have put up with her, but the older I get, the less I want to deal with her and her forcing her Leftist views on us.
Irrespective of who prevails in the election the next four years promises to be exciting....you know - like hurtling down a narrow mountain road with no brakes.
Actually Biden/Trump, IMHO...are not the major problem here.. Certainly Biden belongs in Jail with his son, Hunter and many other Democrats and foreign agents that hate and want to destroy the American Republic. But....the real problem is to prevent America, the Nation Republic from destruction!!! It is as simple as that.
My fear is that the American people are not focused enough to see and realize the deadly danger the nation is in. In fact, the entire Democrat Party must be totally destroyed, politically from top to bottom. How that objective is to be achieved is another important item open to discussion. Sadly...it has to happen non violently if possible, if not...then only God, Almighty knows the path our nation will take!!! And...I fear it will not be pretty!!! “SAD”...AMEN!!!
this voter will not forget nor forgive....
I agree, Joe. How about we get together in your basement on Jan, 20 and watch Trump being sworn in for his 2nd term. Make sure Dr. Jill is there, OK?
Or “Heil!”
Biden does NOT want us to heal...
He wants us to HEeL....like your dog.
We’ll heal when all communists are dead.
Here you are:
It’s rather rich that Hillary wants to talk about “systemic racism” when she has continually said and done things that do not align with the black community.
Remember when she said, “I know they all look alike” in reference to black men?
“We also have to have an organized effort against gangs, just as in a previous generation we had an organized effort against the mob. We need to take these people on. They are often connected to big drug cartels. They are not just gangs of kids anymore. They are often the kind of kids that are called ‘superpredators,’ no conscience, no empathy,” she said. “We can talk about why they ended up that way but first we have to bring them to heel.
Depends how and who defines "progress".
