    And Later This Week, He's Going Back To The Beach For More.

    C'mon, man, going on vacation is so tiring!


    Other countries must be shaking in their boots.


    That's what a man of his age should be doing with his time. Not running a superpower! (Not that he's running anywhere)

    We all know he isn't running the country. There is obviously someone behind the scenes running things. (probably the Deep State)

    I would much rather him be on the beach, than running our country.

    ============================================================================

    2006: "Marriage is between a man and a woman and states must respect that," Joe Biden said.

    Biden opposed same-sex marriage when he and Obama were first elected in 2008.

    He opposed it when he was running against Obama for the Democratic nomination.

    He opposed it in the earlier Meet the Press interview.

    And he opposed it in the United States Senate.

    Biden voted for the Defense of Marriage Act as a senator from Delaware in 1996. It prevented federal recognition of same-sex marriages and allowed states to do the same for same-sex marriages performed in other states.

    Biden's views on same-sex marriage have never been cutting edge. When majorities opposed it, so did he. Once support for same-sex marriage became the mainstream Democratic position, Biden adopted it.

    That is why Biden "got into trouble" with Obama for his gay marriage endorsement. Obama and Biden were under activist pressure for being late to supporting same-sex marriage. By the time Biden announced his new stand, most rank-and-file Democrats were already on board. Preempting Obama made him look bad with liberals.

    Obama and Biden had hesitated because of residual opposition from Hispanic and especially black voters. Black Californians voted in 2008 for Obama and Biden, and to define marriage as a man and a woman by passing the ballot initiative Proposition 8.

    The sincerity of their opposition to same-sex marriage by that time could be called into question - in his 2006 Meet the Press interview, Biden was invoking the Defense of Marriage Act in part to explain his opposition to a Republican- backed federal marriage amendment - but it remained reflected in federal law until the Supreme Court handed down Obergefell v. Hodges. Public support for same-sex marriage hit 60% in Gallup the month before the decision.

    The other issue is the strident tone Biden and his team have taken toward people who continue to espouse the same position on marriage he held for most of his adult life. Biden said he was striking a "blow against hate." Jean- Pierre spoke of "extremist conservatives who appear bent on taking away fundamental rights, including marriage equality."

    Liberals may be shell-shocked by the reversal of Roe v. Wade earlier this year, and frequently invoked a stray sentence on substantive due process in Justice Clarence Thomas's concurring opinion which wasn't joined by any other justice and isn't supported by Justice Samuel Alito's majority opinion. But there is no comparison between the nearly 50-year legal and political campaign to overturn Roe, which came within one vote of being reversed 30 years ago, and the remaining anti-Obergefell activities.

    That's why the Respect for Marriage Act, essentially codifying Obergefell, sailed through Congress and a bill ostensibly codifying Roe couldn't get majority support in a Democratic-controlled Senate.

    How Biden speaks of faith-based and traditional views of marriage matters because of ongoing religious liberty concerns. Opponents believed the Respect for Marriage Act's religious liberty protections were weak. Others maintain they went too far.

    "There's a section here that speaks to the ability of nonprofit religious organizations, faith-based social agencies, educational institutions, employees of those organizations to deny services, accommodations, facilities, goods, advantages, privileges to gay couples," a reporter said to Jean-Pierre at Tuesday's White House briefing. "So how is that not codifying discrimination?"

    Biden, the second Catholic president, may face political pressure from those who believe religious liberty exemptions are codified discrimination.

    "My wife said I was the most socially conservative man she had ever known," Biden told an interviewer when he was a freshman senator.

    Notice how he is on this beach where people are walking all around him yet at least during the
    video shoot, nobody is waving or talking to him.

    Could you imagine Trump doing the same?
    He would be mobbed by people , in a good way.

    Even Trump fans don't mob Trump.

    "Mob"? Are they supposes to "MOB" him? Who says?

    I think the Secret Service doesn't allow "mobbing" of the President of the United States.

    Show us scenes of Biden support, like these.

    Trump lies

    Nothing like Biden does.

    Biden told graduates in Annapolis, “I was appointed to the Academy in 1965
    by a senator who I was running against in 1972.” But Mr. Biden graduated
    from the University of Delaware in 1965, so an academy appointment at that stage of his life would have been very unlikely.May 31, 2022

    While talking in November to technical college students standing near a
    truck, Biden claimed, “I used to drive a tractor-trailer,” though only for “part of a summer.” This was similar to something he had said at a Mack
    Trucks facility in July, when he claimed, “I used to drive an 18-wheeler,
    man,” adding, “I got to.” There is no evidence Biden ever drove a big
    truck; the White House previously noted to CNN that he once had a job
    driving a school bus (which is not an 18-wheeler or a tractor-trailer) and that, as a senator in 1973, he spent a night riding in a cargo truck (not driving it).

    Biden repeatedly told a story about a supposed conversation during his
    vice presidency with an old friend, an Amtrak train conductor, that could
    not possibly have happened because the man was dead at the time. He
    repeatedly boasted that he had traveled “17,000 miles” with Chinese
    President Xi Jinping, though that number is not even close to correct.

    Biden distracted from his voting rights message with the baseless claim
    last week, which he had made before, about having been arrested during a
    civil rights protest; in some of the previous versions of the story, he
    had merely claimed a police officer had taken him home from a protest.
    (There is evidence Biden participated in some civil rights activities in
    his youth but no record of any arrest.)

    And Biden told two different inaccurate stories while trying to emphasize
    his connection to the Jewish community.

    At a September event in honor of the High Holy Days, Biden told Jewish
    leaders that he remembered “spending time at” and “going to” Pittsburgh’s
    Tree of Life synagogue, the site of an antisemitic massacre in 2018; he
    had spoken by phone to the synagogue’s rabbi in 2019 but never went. At a Hanukkah event in December, Biden claimed that late Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir had invited him to meet with her during the Six-Day War of 1967
    (he actually met with her weeks before the Yom Kippur War six years later)
    and, more significantly, that she had wanted him to be “the liaison
    between she and the Egyptians about the Suez, and so on and so forth.”

    There is zero evidence Meir ever wanted to use a 30-year-old rookie US
    senator as a “liaison” with a major adversary.

    Biden occasionally overstated progress and understated problems. Asked at
    a CNN town hall in July about inflation in automobile prices, he claimed
    that the cost of a car was “kind of back to what it was before the
    pandemic”; the cost had actually increased substantially since late 2019
    and early 2020. In an economic speech in November, he greatly exaggerated
    the extent of the decline in the unemployment rate during his tenure.

    Many of Biden’s first-year speeches were devoted to the Covid-19 pandemic. Biden was almost incomparably more accurate on this subject than Trump
    was, tending to factually convey the severity of the situation rather than match his predecessor’s fantastical rhetoric about how bad numbers were
    not actually bad numbers and how the virus would just disappear.

    But Biden made a smattering of false claims on this topic, too.

    At the CNN town hall in July, Biden made the inaccurate categorical
    promise that “you’re not going to get Covid” if you’re vaccinated. It was
    clear even before the emergence of the Omicron variant that vaccinated
    people were still getting infected with the virus, though the vaccines
    made them much less likely to get seriously ill; vaccinated people on the President’s own staff had been infected. Biden also went too far at the
    town hall when he categorically pledged that “if you’re vaccinated, you’re
    not going to be hospitalized, you’re not going to be in the ICU unit and
    you’re not going to die”; these outcomes happen, too, though they are much
    less common among vaccinated people.

    Biden sometimes exaggerated on the subject of his administration’s work to
    get Americans vaccinated – misleadingly playing down the Trump
    administration’s own vaccine purchases and, in May, overstating how the US vaccination rate compared with those of the rest of the world. And he made various errors in discussing pandemic-related facts and figures.

    When Biden stuck to prepared speeches vetted by his staff, he tended to be factual (though certainly wasn’t perfect). When he ad-libbed or
    participated in unscripted exchanges with journalists and citizens, he was
    more likely to sprinkle in inaccuracies – making false or misleading
    claims about everything from his handling of the situation at the southern border to Virginia political history to gun laws to the size of a tax
    break for people who own racehorses.

    During Biden’s first 100 days in the Oval Office, he was repeatedly
    incorrect or misleading in describing the actions of the Trump
    administration.

    At the CNN town hall in July, Biden made the inaccurate categorical
    promise that “you’re not going to get Covid” if you’re vaccinated. It was clear even before the emergence of the Omicron variant that vaccinated
    people were still getting infected with the virus, though the vaccines
    made them much less likely to get seriously ill; vaccinated people on the PresidentÂ’s own staff had been infected. Biden also went too far at the
    town hall when he categorically pledged that “if you’re vaccinated, you’re not going to be hospitalized, you’re not going to be in the ICU unit and you’re not going to die”; these outcomes happen, too, though they are much less common among vaccinated people.

    Biden sometimes exaggerated on the subject of his administration’s work to get Americans vaccinated – misleadingly playing down the Trump administration’s own vaccine purchases and, in May, overstating how the US vaccination rate compared with those of the rest of the world. And he made various errors in discussing pandemic-related facts and figures.

    When Biden stuck to prepared speeches vetted by his staff, he tended to be factual (though certainly wasnÂ’t perfect). When he ad-libbed or
    participated in unscripted exchanges with journalists and citizens, he was more likely to sprinkle in inaccuracies – making false or misleading
    claims about everything from his handling of the situation at the southern border to Virginia political history to gun laws to the size of a tax
    break for people who own racehorses.

    During BidenÂ’s first 100 days in the Oval Office, he was repeatedly incorrect or misleading in describing the actions of the Trump administration.


    Trump exaggerates his accomplishments due to the narcissist that he is.

    Biden tells bold faced lies.

    There is a huge difference.

    Also, when Trump was POTUS the MSM were literally keeping track of his "lies" with an onscreen
    counter.
    So why aren't they doing the same for Joe Biden?
    The answer is obvious.

    Are Narcissists Lonely? - Yes, But They'll Never Admit It

    Here are 5 signs of a narcissist and how they behave:

    an excessive need to be adulated

    a strong tendency to megalomania

    EGOCENTRICITY

    a low degree of empathy towards others

    AN EXCESSIVE QUEST FOR RECOGNITION.


    4 Reasons why narcissists are lonely

    https://www.wengood.com/en/psychology/stress/art-are-narcissists-lonely#h2-0 https://www.wengood.com/en/psychology/stress/art-are-narcissists-lonely#h2-5 https://www.wengood.com/en/psychology/stress/art-are-narcissists-lonely#h2-6 https://www.wengood.com/en/psychology/stress/art-are-narcissists-lonely#h2-7 https://www.wengood.com/en/psychology/stress/art-are-narcissists-lonely#h2-9

    Do narcissists end up alone?

    Do narcissists isolate themselves?

    Does the narcissist ever get sad?

    Spending time alone is arguably healthy and beneficial for our mental health, but, regularly feeling lonely, on the other hand, can be very detrimental to our social and communication skills. When it comes to narcissists, they have a reputation for feeling superior, which means that they will do anything they deem necessary in order for people to admire them and never openly talk about their alleged "weaknesses'. Plus, they believe that being open about their feelings and admitting to feeling alone and misunderstood, will make them appear weak, which is why they often choose to flee their emotions. For them, remaining in the dark about what they feel this a way of saving face, although, in reality, they are crying out to be loved and to build connections, yet too proud and afraid to recognize their needs.

    Harsh but true...
    1) They are unable to connect with people

    These folks arguably lack empathy, which means they have no time for heartfelt discussions, and even less time for genuine connections. They fail to see why having friends and being able to confide in people are important.


    2) Their personalities intimidate people

    Whilst people with narcissistic personality disorders can be charming at points, their bullish and manipulative behavior always shine through eventually. That's right, the prospect of becoming friends with someone so devious understandably scares people.


    3) They have their walls up

    Letting people in is definitely a narcissist's worst nightmare! It's just not in their nature to make themselves appear vulnerable and let people into their lives. For them, opening up to someone is a synonym of them relinquishing their power and losing the upper hand.


    4) They are scared to put themselves out there

    Despite the facade they hide behind, narcissists are very insecure people and are constantly scared of judgment. Their fear of being judged prevents them from creating a solid support base around them, and paradoxically encourages them to become more devious.


    Do narcissists end up alone?

    Narcissists frequently end up alone due to the simple fact that they are incapable of enjoying healthy relationships. Although the most high-functioning ones may be able to fool someone into sticking around for a set amount of time. However, generally, their devious ways, lack of empathy, and immeasurable egos prevent them from ever finding true love. Plus, they are totally against the idea of changing and working on themselves, which evidently scares potential suitors away. After all, no one wants to be the only partner making concessions and sacrifices in a relationship. Now, although they'll never admit it, ending up alone does in fact terrify these folks, however, the prospect isn't intimidating enough for them to want to become better people...


    Do narcissists isolate themselves?

    A narcissist isolates themselves (at home for example without seeing anyone) WHEN they are too overwhelmed; especially in the instance when he has gone hunting for new prey, and has received many narcissistic sources. When their search for new victims has been successful, they are obliged to withdraw themselves from the situation because otherwise they will implode. Although narcissists do well for a certain amount of time during their isolation, they'll soon take up their narcissistic ways again. In fact, their isolation will not exceed 1 week max, because they cannot fight off temptation to manipulation any longer.


    Does the narcissist ever get sad?

    As much as they may like to hide and conceal their emotions, narcissists are just like anyone else when it comes to their feelings, meaning they do get sad at points. However, that being said, they'll never openly admit to feeling down or upset, because they are simply scared of people judging them and looking upon them as weak. Plus, these personalities never really talk about their feelings either, or share with those close to them when they are feeling down. In fact, their behavior gives away when they are sad, because they instantly become very vindictive and even more relentless in their actions.


    Can a narcissist be likable?

    At the beginning, narcissists can come across as very friendly, attractive and fun to be around. However, this is just a technique for them to seduce their prey and destroy them little by little. Most narcissists are unaware of their problem and are convinced that they are acting for the good of others (a minority is sadistic and takes pleasure in making others suffer). The manipulations of these people can be distinguished from emotional blackmail, small lies or guilt-tripping of others, which make everyone more or less manipulative. The signs are similar and usually appear in early adulthood.

    Here are 5 signs of a narcissist and how they behave:

    an excessive need to be adulated
    a strong tendency to megalomania
    egocentricity
    a low degree of empathy towards others
    an excessive quest for recognition.

    What do narcissists do when they're alone?

    When a narcissist finds themselves alone in their life, they may feel an emotional void or a sense of loneliness, but this depends on the person and their level of self-awareness. Some people with narcissistic personality disorder may have difficulty coping with loneliness, as they need the attention and validation of others to feel important and valued.

    However, other people with narcissistic personality disorder may prefer to be alone rather than in the company of people they consider inferior or uninteresting. These people may have interests or passions that keep them busy and give them a sense of satisfaction or achievement. In some cases, loneliness can actually reinforce narcissistic behavior in a person with narcissistic personality disorder. They may be tempted to put themselves forward or boast more to attract the attention of others, even when they're not in their presence. How a person with this personality reacts to loneliness depends on many factors, such as the severity of their disorder, their level of self- awareness, and their other personality traits.
    Editor's opinion - Expressing their feelings is impossible for them
    We all have certain struggles when it comes to talking about how we feel, but a narcissist's inability to express what they are going through is definitely more penalizing for them than for anyone else. These personalities are lonely, yet their innate traits prevent them for breaking the cycle of loneliness, and also dissuades others from attempting to pull them out of their misery.

    On Wed, 30 Aug 2023 08:20:43 -0700, Michael A Terrell says...

    because he engaged in insurrection

    No... that would be Ray Epps.

    "When they went to the Capitol and they were breaking into the Capitol, smashing windows, injuring police officers, why did it take you three hours to tell them to go home?" CNN's Kaitlan Collins asked.

    The 45th president then reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out printed records of his tweets from Jan. 5 and Jan. 6.

    "I don't believe it did. Oh, let me pull it out. I have to pull it out (wink wink)," he said. "On Jan. 5, the day before, I said, "Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!'"

    He then read a tweet from 2:38 p.m. on Jan. 6, which was 18 minutes after the Capitol Building went into lockdown, according to a timeline from NPR, which shows an "initial wave of protesters storms the outer police barrier around the Capitol" at around 1 p.m.

    Ray Epps instigated and RAN the Capitol Tourist Romp.

    Twitter took down Trump's posts. THAT made it look as though hew didn't try to do anything. Jack Dorsey and Co. should be in jail.

    =====

    COLLINS: When they went to the Capitol and they were breaking into the Capitol, smashing windows, injuring police officers, why did you - why did it take you three hours to tell them to go home?

    TRUMP: I don't believe it did. Oh, let me pull it out. I have to pull it out.

    TRUMP: So - so, if you look at - on January 5, the day before, I said: "Please support our Capitol Police and law enforcement. They are truly on the side of our country. Stay peaceful. Stay peaceful."

    This was the day before. And this was in the form of Twitter. Now I use TRUTH, TRUTH Social. I think it's far superior, OK?

    TRUMP: I hope everybody's on - I hope everybody's on TRUTH.

    If you look, January 6, this is at 2:00 - before 2:30. "I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful." This is right after - as it was happening. But what happened is, they took it down. I don't know why. I think they took it down because it was so good. They didn't like it being up there.

    TRUMP: "I am asking" - this is - and we didn't know until I got it back, because now I have 90 million people waiting for me to go back.

    But I'm on TRUTH, and I'm staying on TRUTH.

    Listen, "I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol remain peaceful. No violation." It's we want "no violation. We want no violence. Remember, we are the party of law and order. Respect the law and our great men and women in blue. Thank you."

    That was at 2:30. That was very early.

    COLLINS: Mr. President, I looked at the same timeline that you did.

    Once it was clear...

    TRUMP: No, I know, but you didn't report that. You know why? Because it was taken down.

    COLLINS: We did report it. I was reporting that day.

    TRUMP: It was taken down, and it wasn't put back up.

    COLLINS: But when it was clear to you that they were not being peaceful - you saw them rushing the Capitol, breaking windows. They were hitting officers with flagpoles, Tasing them, beating them up.

    When it was clear they weren't being peaceful, why did you wait three hours to tell them to leave the Capitol? They listen to you like no one else.

    TRUMP: Yes.

    COLLINS: You know that.

    TRUMP: They do. I agree with that.

    But Nancy Pelosi...

    COLLINS: So, why didn't you tell them to go home sooner?

    TRUMP: Nancy Pelosi and the mayor are in charge. I assumed they were able to do their job. They weren't.

    COLLINS: But Pelosi is not in charge of Capitol security.

    TRUMP: And it kicked in.

    And, if you remember, I made a video right outside the Oval Office in the Rose Garden. And I'm very proud of that video. I didn't have a script. I don't need scripts, like a certain person that's in there right now.

    COLLINS: But what time - the video, it came out much later, after they had already attacked the Capitol.

    TRUMP: It's right there. It's right...

    TRUMP: It was a great video. And it was a beautiful video.

    And it said - I mean, I don't want to read it all, but you have - "You have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great people of law and order. We love the people of law and order. We can't play into the hands of these other people. We have to have peace. Please go home."

    I said that. You know what they did?

    COLLINS: Well, referring to the law and order there, Mr. President...

    TRUMP: They took that down. And, you know, to this day, it hasn't been put up.

    And the reason is, it's so good and so conclusive that all of this nonsense and all of the tens of millions of dollars that have been spent are just wiped away with this one, and they have never put it back up. They had another one that they did the same thing.

    COLLINS: But that video that you referenced there, it wasn't posted until 4:17 p.m.

    TRUMP: No, I will tell you...

    COLLINS: They breached the Capitol at 2:00 p.m., Mr. President.

    TRUMP: That video was posted...

    COLLINS: 4:17 p.m.

    TRUMP: Yes, before - actually, a little bit before that.

    COLLINS: Right. So, that's my question.

    TRUMP: But - excuse me.

    COLLINS: Because, in that three hours, over 140 officers were injured.

    TRUMP: Excuse me. It was posted after the first one I just read, though, and that was at 2:00.

    COLLINS: But I think the reason the timeline is so critical here, because, going back to your influence, in that three hours...

    TRUMP: There's another one I post.

    COLLINS: ... over 140 officers were injured that day.

    TRUMP: And a person named Ashli Babbitt was killed.

    COLLINS: Yes.

    TRUMP: You know what? She was killed, and she shouldn't have been killed.

    And that thug that killed her, there was no reason to shoot her at blank range. Cold, blank range, they shot her. And she was a good person. She was a patriot.

    COLLINS: One person who was there...

    TRUMP: And there was no reason. There was no reason.

    And he went on television to brag about the fact that he killed her.

    TRUMP: She was a patriot. There was no reason -

    COLLINS: One person who was there -

    TRUMP: - there was no reason. And he went on television to brag about the fact that he killed her.

    COLLINS: That officer was not bragging about the fact that he killed her.

    TRUMP: Oh, he was bragging.

    COLLINS: But one person who was at the Capitol that day, as you know, was your vice president, Mike Pence, who says that you endangered his life on that day. Do you feel -

    TRUMP: I don't think he was in any danger.
