Biden’s riot act falls flat

Joe Biden wanted to give a stirring speech to rouse Americans to angry purpose about the threats to democracy represented by “election deniers” running for office across the country. He was, according to CNN’s reporting, spurred to action by the horrible attack last week on the husband of the speaker of the House, which Biden believes is a direct result of Donald Trump’s effect on the United States over the past seven years.
So … that’s what he wanted. But, as the great philosopher Mick Jagger once said, you can’t always get what you want.
The address he delivered Wednesday night wasn’t a forceful speech. It was a forceless speech.

Yep, he got 81 million votes alright. He just got them from a lot less than 81 million people.

Mr. Podhoretz lost me in his first paragraph, denying the fact the 2020 election wasn't rigged.

I do not understand the term “election denier” in the context of the 2020 election.
The writer’s own newspaper witnessed first hand the election manipulation of big media in hiding the laptop story. And there is much confirmation that mailin ballots were misused - and illegally so- greatly in 2020.
So I don’t know what is supposedly being “denied” - in my view it would be the integrity of certain voting and unethical media practices, the occurrence of which is beyond dispute. I do not say there is somehow a way to reverse the 2020 election results.
I was also unaware that Trump had called for a protester to be beat up. I was aware of the Veritas video of a Dim operative saying he was trying to get individuals to foment violence at Trump rallies. I would have to watch the video for myself before i would accept this writer’s conclusion.
Or is all the above just to concede “Trump bad” now you concede “bidet pathetic”?

Podhoretz has been a NeverTrumper from the start, and his denial that the 2020 Election was clearly stolen is why I no longer bother to read his drivel.

Why oh why did Jesse Watters have Karl "The Architect" Rove on his show last night puzzles me but that should be his last appearance anywhere after he mentioned (I paraphrase) January 6 and how all those insurrectionist that have been convicted proves Republicans are not a threat as we are prosecuting them. I'd like to see Karl locked up in the DC Gulag for almost 2 years with his Constitutional rights being violated. He might actually lose some weight.

I’m sure the speech was written by fake historian Jon Meachem. That explains why FJB was holding the guy’s recent book on Lincoln. Biden reading a book - who is he kidding?
It amazes me that liberals think they can write books on Lincoln- it’s just because Lincoln sells.

Purpose of Biden’s Hate Speech last night was to assure the Democrat ballot box stuffers that they will not be prosecuted, let alone investigated, by the FBI and DoJ. Election corruption and theft are fine as long as these illegal acts are against the anti-democracy Republicans since the Repubs are somehow, some way anti democratic.
As to article, it was a waste to both post and read. Agree completely with #4 and #5.

One could say that Biden's fiery desperate speeches are like Josef Goebbels running around trying to exhort Berliners to the defense of the city in the final days.....but that would be insulting to Goebbels.

Disgusting, lying, rabid NeverTrumper Podhoretz never fails to throw in cheap shots - - against President Trump - - the man he so ferociously envies.
Pfooey on you, Podhoretz - - you never fail to make me want to puke!

Seriously, did anyone watch this speech? Biden is flying up his own rectal orifice with every public appearance. C'mon, man! Looking for the ratings of last night's act, I can't find any. "Andy Griffith" reruns draw a bigger audience.

The only thing that 'stirred' from that speech was the load in Xiden's diapers as he shuffled across the stage.

"Was the Jan. 6 attack horrendous?" Horrendous? No. A small amount of protestors got carried away and made a bit of a mess. It was in NO WAY a meaningful threat to the government. Nor was it a planned attack to achieve any type of insurrection. This type of thing is a common occurrence in progressive protests and dems think nothing of it. That it was a protest against progressives incensed them. HOW DARE THEY?
"Are people who deny the results of the 2020 election wrong?" No. There have been numerous successful legal actions against voting practices the dems used in 2020. Dems planned and used illegal means to gather and process votes in numerous places. They have undermined confidence in a fair election. If I can photocopy votes and bring a whole stack in from my car to magically swing the election, THAT is what is wrong.
Has Donald Trump “put the loyalty to himself above loyalty to the Constitution,” as Biden put it? No, Trump expects loyalty to Constitutional voting procedures as expressed in state rules for voting. He expected his administration to FIGHT to ensure those procedures were followed. People like Pence chose to not fight, like so many Loser Republicans. Trump was rightfully disappointed in them.
Brandon is a dope. Yup.
So is Podhoretz.

JPod is sniffing glue: No, those who question the legitimacy of 2020 are not “dead wrong”, and no, Trump never once said or even intimated that people should be loyal to him before they are loyal to the Constitution. Trump is and has always been America first. He is a strong patriot and although he is a narcissist, he loves this country and has never demanded loyalty to him, but to America.

I watched 45 seconds before my insides started to tear apart. Still waiting for the unifier to magically appear. Strange mid term. Mitch wants to lose as so do the democrats.

When did President Trump EVER encourage anyone to 'beat up protestors' in 2016 rallies? Ridiculous!

The reckoning on Nov.8th only comes if we can massively out vote the voter fraud built into the system.
Biden's speech was a rallying call for violence by the left which will be blamed on the right, same as 1/6!

The scarecrow couldn't even walk straight! Sounds like the name of a movie, but Brandon embarrassed himself again, if he were cognitive enough to know it, in another degrading American speech blasting more than a half of the nation.
If he only knew that his next breath is in the Hands of God.

#6 Why did Jesse Watters have Karl Rove on? Because the Management, Paul Ryan and others pressure Jesse to have Rove appear. Rove is a two timing skunk, so not many invitations on conservative shows.

I worked in a nursing home for 6 years as a volunteer...here's what I found to be true...any patient that acted like this in his/her/it dementia was an accelerated reflection of what they were like in their younger years...so his rhetoric is just a reflection of what he was like in his senate days...like when he tied to take down verbally...Justice Clarence Thomas...he met his match when Justice Thomas accused him of a high/tech lynching...I remember it like it was yesterday...I have loved Justice Thomas..ever since...

Spot on, and very cleverly done in front of the DNC audience! "Cheat like hell boys, it's for a good cause, our grasp on power, and I've got your back!"

Podhoretz just could not pass up a chance to call President Trump evil. He should stick to directing neocon endless wars.

Is an election denier the same as a vaccine denier, and can you be both?
