WaPo’s Eugene Robinson: Biden Speech an ‘Urgent Wartime Address’
Breitbart ^ | 09/02/2022 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 09/02/2022 7:41:05 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson heralded President Joe Biden’s speech in Philadelphia the night earlier as an “urgent wartime address.”

According to Robinson, it was “significant” that Biden called out his predecessor and “MAGA Republicans.

“The speech last night to me sounded like a president delivering a wartime address,” he said. “And indeed, Joe Biden sees this as a battle for the soul of our country. It’s a battle for the preservation of our democracy. To me, the significant thing was, yes, he called out Donald Trump — but he also called out the MAGA Republicans, the MAGA Republican officials and followers, who, for whatever motive, under whatever delusion, are going down this authoritarian path, this undemocratic path and trying to take the nation with them. And he framed this as an emergency, as something that we as a nation need to bond together and to stop, to reverse and to return to our democratic principles and our democratic practices, and to me, it was an urgent wartime address.”

Are they trying to make him look evil?

No, they are trying to make him look good,
the evil just keeps rising to the surface...

Biden gives a “wartime address”, screaming that his political opponents are an enemy that must be exterminated.
Because THEY are fascists. Hitler and Goebbels would be so proud of Joe.

And who, exactly, are you "at war" with, Gene?

Spell it out. Be honest (a first for the washington compost).

Wartime? I thought Biden pulled us out of Afghanistan and we haven’t put boots on the ground in Ukraine. So who are we supposed to be at war with? I’m guessing this journalist plagiarized an old column praising FDR’s Fireside Chats or something.

Actual it is anarcho-tyranny. None of the so called conservative commentators will use this term because it was coined by (gasp) Sam Francis. Cowards.

Any Marines out there....

Not while I was in. Parade rest was with the hands
crossed behind the back, feet slightly apart.
Have no idea what they call that.

No, you don’t get your civil war. Elections matter in November.

The southern democrats started the first Civil War at Ft. Sumpter in 1861.

The democrats are determined to start another one.

We’re they ACTUAL MARINES (which would be illegal use) OR were they ACTORS hired to play the part?

Robinson is emblematic of the ideologues running Biden. Joe can't remember how to put on a coat, much less think up a rant like this speech. The White House now has a "Colonel House" atmosphere.

Obviously, Biden, never bright to begin with, is easily misled and controlled in his current mental state. Nevertheless, I welcome Robinson's comments as a clear description of the dangerous mindset of those who control an addled president. This Biden tirade is another, albeit more intense, warning as to the danger America is in. It was twenty-four minutes of unbridled hate.

Robinson is just your normal dumb, racist old angry black man with not a brain in his head. So of course he works at the wash compost, the most vile rag in America.

A speech delivered by a guy who was installed thanks to election fraud.

The speech was at 8pm. Slow Joe’s bedtime is 7pm. He did NOT get his fruit cup in front of the TV showing “Wheel of Fortune”. He was sundowning, he was angry, and I suspect he had a load in his pants. Small wonder he was off his rocker in the speech.

If that was a wartime address, it was Pedo Joe ranting “Und Steiner’s offense vill roll zem into ze sea!” I’m thinking Gene needs a little more Prozac.
