Toddler-Masking Biden Says Governors Are 'Playing Politics With the Lives of…Children'
Reason ^ | September 17, 2021 | Matt Welch

On September 10, President Joe Biden lamented to a group of Washington, D.C., middle schoolers that political disputes in 2021 have become far too nasty.

"One of the lessons I hope our students can unlearn is that politics doesn't have to be this way," Biden said. "Politics doesn't have to be this way. They're growing up in an environment where they see it's…like a war, like a bitter feud….I mean, it's not how we are. It's not who we are as a nation. And it's not how we beat every other crisis in our history. We got to come together."

When an elected executive complains that politics is too much like war, the prudent thing to do is to do reach for your flak jacket. And sure enough, literally in the preceding paragraph, the president implied that some GOP politicians don't care overmuch if their constituents die.

"Look, I'm so disappointed that particularly some Republican governors have been so cavalier with the health of these kids, so cavalier with the health of their communities," Biden said. "We're playing for real here. This isn't a game. And I don't know of any scientist out there in this field that doesn't think it makes considerable sense to do the six things I've suggested" as a path out of the pandemic.

Table that "I don't know of any scientist" whopper for later, and fast forward to last night. Perhaps because his previous accusations didn't attract much attention from the nodding-along media, Biden again trained his rhetorical howitzers onto GOP electeds.

"Republican governors in states like Texas and Florida are doing everything they can to undermine the public health requirements that keep people safe," the president tweeted. "They're playing politics with the lives of their citizens, especially children."

Whatever Biden proposes, do the opposite. Just saying.

Hypocrites. Here's a photo of some DC politicians at ground zero last week before the obligatory photo with masks was taken.

Peeking in the middle there is AOC...so funny whenever she's with a group of Dems like this she's always left alone trying to find someone to talk to. Many just ignore her.

“As usual, when a politician says something like ‘We’ve got to come together,’ what he really means is ‘You’ve got to agree with my contestable policies, which I’ve arrived at by the usual unholy alliances with interest groups.’”

This is so true. Also notice that Democrats ram through legislation when they’re in power - sometimes without a single vote from the opposition - yet cry out for bipartisanship and “coming together” when they don’t have complete control or the votes to do something?

“”Look, I’m so disappointed that particularly some Republican governors have been so cavalier with the health of these kids, so cavalier with the health of their communities,” Biden said.”

This from a man who, along with his sicko regime, is in the midst of destroying the mental health and educational experience of a whole generation of children. Biden & Co. should be in jail and locked up for life.

Or one of the parties they attended, which get even better because the big people weren’t wearing them and the cleaning people and waiters were.

It looks as if someone photo shopped her in the picture, just the head... 🤓. It could be a balloon, but a balloon is smarter...

Take a gander at Nancy Pelousie's hand in post #4 up-thread.

It looks like an out-take from the creepy movie, "The Hand".

Or maybe it looks like the Burma road after a bombing, or mountain ranges in the Himalayans. Or a hand worn-out from grabbing all our tax money?

Imagine what her face must look like if she wasn't all botoxed up.

What do y'all think that hand looks like?
