And of course, "Defund the police" was never, ever a thing.
It was remarkable how strong of a "We must FUND the police!" statement he made, to a rowdy applause. If there has ever been a clearer case of spineless politicians, that was it. Can you imagine ANY of them (Joe, Kamala, et al) saying that 12-18 months ago?
“Defund the police”, faithfully parroted by your local lefties, is the greatest proof I’ve seen that there is no limit to the stupid the leftist masses will parrot if called upon to do so.
I wonder if the dem strategists told Biden that now, under the distraction of COVID and WWIII, that now is the time to pivot back on a few stances (like immigration and funding the police) that have grown unpopular.

Even in 2020 Joe said that the “defund” movement was misguided. Don’t remember his exact words.
It’s always something.

"Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08
The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Either he didn't tell his caucus or they didn't listen.
They had different strategies in the primary. And it didn’t work out well for them.

Speaking of defunding, back in 2016 the big push from a certain Presidential candidate was to defund Ukraine. * Republican delegates at last week’s national security committee platform meeting in Cleveland were surprised when the Trump campaign orchestrated a set of events to make sure that the GOP would not pledge to give Ukraine the weapons it has been asking for from the United States.*

Well his campaign manager worked for Russian interests in Ukraine. Got pretty rich off of them, in fact.

Defund NATO, defund Ukraine &c was all part of MAGA, as well as the need to investigate corruption.
None of that meant "Let Russia invade a sovereign country".
Your attempted whataboutism doesn't work here -- the Dems main message was "Defund the Police" "Open the Borders" etc without any regard for the security of the US -- which is their only obligation.

Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Wall Street now believes Biden is an inconsequential lame duck president. His wishful shopping list with no solutions and his failure to pivot has doomed his presidency.
We are now in the 2022 election cycle. Nothing will get done between now and November. When republicans retake both houses of Congress, nothing he wants to get done will occur.
Personally, I think if he, as he has said, runs for a second term, someone will step up and take the nomination away from him, cementing his dismal history.
Mr. Biden... redecorate your Delaware basement. You'll be spending a lot of time there in the not too distant future.
We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on. -
@Improviso Whatever else he is, he can't be a lame duck president.

Ok... so i looked up the definition.
What is a lame duck situation?
A lame duck situation generally refers to a time frame between a decision and its implementation. It may also refer to: Lame duck (politics), an elected official who is approaching the end of his or her tenure, and especially an official whose successor has already been elected.You're correct. I misused "lame duck".
I should have said inconsequential impotent president.
