In President Joe Biden’s 2007 memoir, Promises to Keep: On Life and Politics, he wrote that the late Sen. Mike Mansfield (D-Mont.) gave him the best advice he ever received: “Joe, never attack another man’s motive, because you don’t know his motive.” Judging from Biden’s increasingly belligerent speeches, he has forgotten Mansfield’s eminently wise counsel. This was rendered abundantly clear during his Thursday speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Standing before a backdrop that looked as if it had been designed by Leni Riefenstahl, he attacked the motives of half the electorate.
Joe Biden isn't there anymore. He's braindead and he tries to read or say what he's told to read or say.

I hope it backfires alright with a nuclear explosion in Nov! Republicans better step up, they can be voted out if they screw up yet again and waste the chance the voters give them. They better see that change is what we need and they better get off their butts and do something. First up is get rid of "go along" McConnell, though I doubt they will.

If the Republicans cannot take back both Houses of Cogress, the RNC should be defunded.

Due to their past performance, I don't have much confidence and hope for the RNC. I hope for the conservatives, the patriots, and those against the ILLEGAL ALIENS to step up and vote for the Republicans this coming election.

The only way the Dems hang onto congress is if Joey goes back into his basement and does not come out for the next two months.

The Nitworks knew how vile and nasty the speech would be and knew it would hurt the Dems and show the nation how low he has gone, how sick he is, his real truth so they did not cover it. Just another free ride for Brandon and company.

We know that Joe Biden only read the speech, he didn't write it.
Its troubling that there are idiots in top positions in this government who are allegedly sane and not suffering from dementia and still stupid enough to write such a speech.

"the military is supposed to be apolitical. Positioning Marines in uniform behind President Biden for a political speech flies in the face of that.”
The use of the military figures was a subtle THREAT to opponents of progressives just as his previous mention of an F15 being able to overcome a individual with an AR-15. The message is, "The federal government and I have the power and I will use it when I deem it necessary." The raid on Trump's house was a demonstration of that power. The handling of the J6 prisoners is a demonstration of that power. All these things are meant to intimidate the citizens who dare to stand against him.
The fact that the major networks refused to air the speech PROVES the political and THREATENING nature it projected. It ripped off the mask that Brandon has used throughout his career, the mostly amiable tough guy. Now Brandon is a nasty, ominous figure who has destroyed the economy and impoverished Americans. His imagery and words project implied menacing actions against his opponents who would presume to vote against him.
The author suggests that Brandon should have instead addressed "real issues" but that is frankly impossible. Brandon has framed his actions as absolutely necessary to address climate, racism, and numerous "essential" issues. In essence, his actions are allegedly like chemotherapy, that can be grueling but needed to fight a deadly cancer. Climate especially is portrayed as a "cancer" of the world, deadly even if not yet fully diagnosed, and justifying extreme actions. Backing off this stance would repudiate the raison d'être of the dem party.
"But the house isn’t on fire"
Brandon has no way out of dealing with the "real issues" and the results of his actions to "fix" things. The progressives require his actions to handle their defined emergencies. Either the "building" is on fire or it is not. The progressives have summoned the fire trucks and are pumping water on the country to douse the flames. To declare that maybe the "building" wasn't on fire to begin with is an impossible reversal.
Let's hope that the electorate is aware enough to massively repudiate the dems, beyond their ability to manipulate the votes to their favor.

Don't count your chickens before they hatch. Systematic vote fraud protected by a corrupt and co-opted judiciary is a very potent weapon as we saw in 2020. Have you seen any signs that this weapon will be neutralized.? Just wishes of outraged citizens are not enough!

Sorry, can't agree w Mansfield. I always judge a man's motive.
Obama's motive is he's a freaking communist seeking to "fundamentally transform" the United States into his (and Karl Marx's) own image.

By describing Trump, his supporters and the GOP as clones of Hitler and his fascist regime, Biden was reassuring Democrats that they are justified in stealing the 2022 and 2024 elections for the greater good. The good of Dems in power and their major contributors, that is. Philadelphia was selected because it was at the center of the 2020 election night steal, a night when Trump’s 700,000 vote victory margin in PA turned into a Biden win. Those Dem poll workers didn’t block the windows in the vote counting office because observers were a distraction.
The same “Trump and MAGA = semi-facism” was the reason for the DoJ/FBI raid on Mar a Largo. Raid didn’t care about federal documents or even the framed Time Magazine covers. Rather, it was to reinforce leftist hate of Trump so that bogus mail-in ballots, rigged Dominion machines and the Dem zealots counting votes could justify their theft of an election. The same reason why Biden’s bile was only broadcast on MSNBC and CNN, the two Dem house organs, Question is whether enough legal votes can be cast to overturn the upcoming Dem steals.

It shouldn't be close, but it will be. People have been conditioned to think certain ways and it favors the Democrats. It's the only way one can explain 70+ million people voting for a corrupt hate filled sickly brain addled fool that hid from voters in 2020. Add in Democrat dirty tricks and voter fraud, and Republicans have an even steeper road to climb. Add in Republicans that don't want to win, and it's worse.
Republicans will likely win one or both chambers, and the media will immediately blame them for all the problems created by the Democrats. A Democrats loss might be the best strategy for the Democrats to regain popularity.

The final nail was driven into the Rats' political coffin months ago. Old Demented Brandon's speech the other night was merely soldering the thing shut.

Why THAt speech ? fundraising to scare /justify the hate /and future unConstitutional actions .
I think antifa/defund terrorist dems have downsized the mayhem & crimes committed last summer by mobs , now smaller actions , fewer actors sow the same chaos & fear creating the same unrootedness without all the way obvious organizational bad people creating it .
mayors , ag’s judges etc are doing the mob’s work now on the cheap . the results are prime cloward-piven , Reichstag stuff . cheaper and less blame .
# waiting for the Oct surprise..

not as long as there are Dominion voting systems machines in operation or some other way the demcommies can find a way to cheat and "win" in this election and any future election
the repubs had better grow some serious levels of Testosterone if they want to remain a viable opposition party to the demcommies

Leni Riefenstahl and Albert Speer would be offended being mentioned in the same breath as Biden's "Portal of Hell" staging. Both were masters of presentation. Whoever did "Portal of Hell" was ignorant of the visual impact her poor staging left that would have detracted from any speech. Even the Gettysburg Address would have been rendered sinister.

Sure, we'll retake Congress and the Senate. All that will do is stanch the bleeding, maybe. We have had Republican presidents AND majorities in both houses of Congress. Show me meaningful changes resulting from that.

The Dems already have their plan pretty much in place. Similar to the last election, but with a few wrinkles ironed out. They are still working, however, on getting ballots to
foreigners.

It depends, as congressional politics has been considered to follow local politics. Who knows if that will happen in the November election because of high energy and gas prices, or the current inflationary situation that is hurting average Americans?

I'd like to know some details about how this was set up...the story says that "During negotiations with the Networks".
who/what/where/when were these negotiations held?
How is it that there was ONE camera crew, all from ONE network, providing "pool" footage to every other outlet?
Was CBS paid for their film crew/directors/producers...even though they didn't even air their own footage?
After the jan 6 committee scripted primetime star chamber show tanked with viewers...have the networks seen the spaghetti on the wall and will start demanding Dems BUY time if they want to get on the Air?
Or was it that his prior two speeches that week that they DID cover most/all of were sooooo bad they chose to air re-runs?
