Digressions. Mix-ups. Mistakes. Joseph R. Biden Jr. has a choppy speaking style that could undermine his message at a time when he needs to stand strong for our country.
After Marine One landed at the White House at 9:39 a.m., Biden took a single question on impeachment before walking into the residence side of the White House.
When a reporter asked if former President Trump should lose his political rights, the confused Biden seems to answer a totally different question.
Biden responded: “He got an offer to come and testify. He decided not to. We’ll let the Senate work that out.”
Biden was later spotted jogging to the Oval Office.
Video below:
The Biden administration has repeatedly refused to comment on the proceedings — instead deferring to Democrats in Congress.
The trial will kick off Tuesday with several hours of debate and a vote on the question of whether it’s even constitutional to impeach a former president.
On Wednesday, the trial will move to 16 hours of arguments for each side.
Lead impeachment manager Jamie Raskin, D-Md., last week requested that Trump testify before or during the impeachment trial.
“The president will not testify in an unconstitutional proceeding,” Trump senior adviser Jason Miller told Fox News last week.
Miller, over the weekend, said Democrats “know that this has no chance of winning.”
“There’s no chance of the president actually being convicted here,” Miller said on Fox News Sunday. “This is designed to try to implement political pain, so to speak, over the course of a week, maybe a week and a half, and then they’re going to move on. They’re not even taking this seriously.”
“It’s a partisan farce,” Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said of the impeachment effort on “Fox News Sunday.” Paul added that he does not believe it’s possible Trump will be convicted.
You don’t see answering a question about whether Trump should be barred from the ability to hold office with a statement about Trumps right to speak at the ‘trial’ is a bit off?
The woman in charge of the shamdemic in LA County is a dead ringer for that guy.
From IPS eulogy for Marxist Marcus Raskin:
“Back in the day, “think tanks,” especially radical ones, did not exist. (And besides, how to you finance such a thing? Marc didn’t blink: “You figure out what you want to do, and you get [fill in the blank] to do it.” Within a few years, conservatives gave IPS the backhand compliment of creating The Heritage Institute because IPS had shown what you could do if you were serious! ... The Institute in those early days was both serious and also very funky: You could bump into anyone from Stokely Carmichael to Hannah Arendt or Leo Szilard (who got Einstein to write the letter to Roosevelt that led to the Atomic bomb) Just in passing, Marc and Dick and Ralph Stavins gave the Pentagon Papers to the New York Times. All in a day’s work. ...”
They have doubles for president elect. There is no way he made that walk on installation day.Physically and mentally unfit.
cute pug!
In Like Flint. (Golf ball smoke)
Well I keep hearing it and I just thought the guy had a facelift but he does look different. I just want to see who else thinks so.
Yeh I didn’t notice it til today but the nose is different. I don’t know maybe he had his nose straightened and a facelift.
Yeah like 100 Days of The Dragon from episode 2 Seaon 1 Outer Limits.
😆
“”After Marine One landed at the White House at 9:39 a.m.””
I didn’t think he was even out of bed that early. Where on earth was he coming from at that time of morning?
Sometimes I see him and he looks like Clint Eastwood as he looks today at 90....
“You don’t see that as a non sequitur?”
Reporter asks if Trump should lose his political rights.
Biden’s saying there a trial, he can defend himself, and the Senate will make their decision.
Explain how that’s a non sequitur.
I’m not a Biden supporter but must we find every single thing he says and to be, almost by definition, wrong?
Bkmk
Are you not understanding the difference between political rights and ostensible legal rights?
“you not understanding the difference between political rights and ostensible legal rights?”
Give your explanation and we’ll go from there.
Definition of political rights
: the rights that involve participation in the establishment or administration of a government and are usually held to entitle the adult citizen to exercise of the franchise, the holding of public office, and other political activities
Definition of legal right
1: a claim recognized and delimited by law for the purpose of securing it
2: the aggregate of the capacities, powers, liberties, and privileges by which a claim is secured
Examples of this, would be the right to face your accuser, or the right to know the evidence against you, or the right to speak or not speak in your defense, or the presumption of innocence.
“Definition of political rights ...”
Your definitions are same as my impressions of the terms’ meaning.
Now, do what I originally asked for:
Explain how Biden’s response was a non sequitur.
