'Certainly not my intent': Biden walks

Original Article

After enraging Republicans and putting his own bipartisan deal in jeopardy, President Joe Biden issued a lengthy statement on Saturday to walk back comments linking an infrastructure deal to a Democrat-only plan. Biden infuriated Republican negotiators on Thursday after he said he would refuse to sign the infrastructure package until he was sent a Democrat-only spending package, which is expected to include a litany of items the GOP has long rejected. (Snip) But while progressives applauded Biden’s remarks, moderate Democrats were equally frustrated with the president’s remarks, with several top Democrats privately saying the president had just put months of

Comments:

He's locked away in Camp David all weekend, so it's odd he would emerge from his lair to issue any communications. Perhaps more Dems are whispering amongst themselves about his recent unhinged behavior.

When he said he would veto legislation that was linked to other legislation, how could he then say it was not his intent to veto such legislation? How demented does he have to be before he gets the hook?

Even after Joe "Dementia" Biden realized what he himself had done, Sen. Rob Portman(R) of Ohio wants to please Dementia. The typical RINO January 25, 2021 - "Sen. Rob Portman announced on Monday that he will not seek reelection in 2022."

He's spending the weekend at Camp David? That's progress, I guess. As for the "deal", the Republicans will never learn. There's more honor among thieves than democrats.

Walking back seems to be his habit of late. He requires a tighter leash or he's really going to let the cat out of the bag. I'm picturing him doing Michael Jackson's moon walk, backwards. Ha

"Walk it back" defined: "When a sleazy politician who makes an idiotic statement that reflects his real opinion [or intent] has it pointed out how stupid, racist, homophobic, etc. his comment was, uses a form of time travel to 'walk it back' and say something less idiotic to replace his original statement." https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=walk%20it%20back

Dim Joe has no ability to even form rational intent any more. He reads what they tell him to read, and occasoinally wanders off the reservation, and loses his ice cream for that evening, or something. How many times has he said, "I'll get into trouble....."? Meat puppet.

The question is does Biden even remember what he said publicly that caused the wimpy RINO Republicans to back away? The wimpy Republicans can’t vote for a bill that is going to raise up Republican voters taxes to pay for Biden’s socialist so-called “Human Infrastructure” programs, as they would be committing political suicide after Biden let the cat out of the bag.

When he walks something back, it means he's been corrected by his handlers. If he ever says 'I misspoke, it will mean 'I misread' or 'I misheard'.

Looking forward, during a rapidly developing crisis Biden in his jumbled up state of mind could order the wrong foreign place to be nuked, and then after the poop hit the fan, could say “that was not my intention” with the throughly politicized US media responding that “it was Joe just being Joe”!

WASHINGTON — The Taliban are advancing at lightning speed across Afghanistan as U.S. troops withdraw. They now control a third of the country, are fighting for control of 42 percent more — and may even be slowing their advance on purpose. A Taliban commander in Ghazni province told NBC News that he and fellow fighters were surprised at the speed of their advance and had avoided capturing some targets so as not to run afoul of the U.S. According to Afghan media reports, eyewitness accounts and statements from local Afghan officials, the Taliban are advancing in rural areas and near Kabul.

CHICAGO — Jean Baptiste Point DuSable Lake Shore Drive it is. Or rather, will soon be. Two years after a South Side alderman introduced an ordinance to rebrand the landmark Chicago Lake Shore Drive to honor DuSable because he was upset he didn’t hear the Black founder of Chicago mentioned during a river boat tour, the City Council on Friday ended months of racially charged debate by adopting a compromise to make it so. The vote was 33-15, with “no” votes coming from 12 white and three Latino aldermen. The ordinance calls for the renaming to happen immediately, but a

Reeling from massive cutbacks in volunteers during the COVID-19 pandemic, and grappling with high construction costs, Habitat for Humanity leaders would be the first to admit they’re struggling. (Snip) What could have been the knockout blow was the spike in construction costs. Lumber prices, according to the National Association of Home Builders, increased by more than 300% since April 2020. Demand for new homes, as well as demand for supplies for renovation projects and other factors, also kept costs high, experts say. Prices have come down in recent weeks, but they are still significantly higher than before the pandemic. Morgan

Among the most hotly anticipated decisions as the U.S. Supreme Court closes out the term this month is whether its oldest member and most senior liberal will call it quits. Justice Stephen Breyer, who is still in apparent good health and showing passion for the job, has given no indication he will retire this year, but he faces extraordinary outside pressure from Democratic activists to step down. Last week, a group of 18 progressive legal scholars published a full-page ad in the New York Times saying "it is best for the country" if Breyer retires immediately, while a coalition of

Walton, who would also become the first female mayor elected in Buffalo, must still win in the November general election — though the last time the city elected a Republican to lead it was during the presidency of John F. Kennedy. There is currently no Republican seeking the office. While absentee votes have not yet been counted, the Associated Press declared Walton the winner in

MINNEAPOLIS — In an unusual move, the Minnesota attorney general is asking the public to submit impact statements ahead of Derek Chauvin’s sentencing on murder charges Friday. It’s been two months since Chauvin was convicted on all counts for murdering George Floyd. While victim impact statements are common during sentencing, comments from the community are not. (Snip) The law, under 611A of Minnesota’s statutes, does allow to have community impact, but it says nothing about whether the entire state or nation can come in.

As the Marxist revolution oozes forward, I occasionally wonder what will happen to the useful idiots when the commies seize absolute power in this once great Republic. I believe that most AT readers are familiar with the term, but for those who need a brief refresher, a useful idiot, as defined by Wikipedia, "is a derogatory term for a person perceived as propagandizing for a cause without fully comprehending the cause's goals, and who is cynically used by the cause's leaders." In my opinion, this definition can be applied to a majority of the young, brainwashed radicals who have no idea about the true history of Marxism
