• Biden Ignites Widespread Backlash For Apologizing Over Calling Laken Ri

    From Ubiquitous@21:1/5 to All on Tue Mar 12 04:30:44 2024
    President Joe Biden ignited widespread backlash over the weekend after
    he apologized for correctly referring to the illegal alien who is
    suspected of murdering a young woman in Georgia as an illegal because
    he did not want to disrespect illegal immigrants.

    The young woman 22-year-old Georgia nursing student Laken Riley was brutally murdered allegedly by Venezuelan national Jose Ibarra, who is reportedly an active gang member.

    During an interview on MSNBC, when the interviewer brought up Bidens
    remark from his State of the Union speech, Biden interjected:
    Undocumented. An undocumented person.

    And I shouldnt have used illegal, its undocumented, Biden
    claimed, even though the correct legal terminology is, in fact,
    illegal alien.

    What Im not going to do, what I wont do, Im not gonna treat any,
    any, any of these people with disrespect, Biden later added. Look,
    they built the country. The reason our economy is growing. We have to
    control the border and more orderly flow, but I dont share his view at
    all.

    Biden, who botched Laken Rileys name during his speech, faced intense criticism for his apology on MSNBC.

    Lets get this straight: Joe Biden just apologized to an illegal alien
    charged with murder, said Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR). But the media would
    rather attack @KatieBrittforAL for telling the truth about Bidens
    policies. Preposterous. And the American people will see through it.

    The Republican Party posted on X: Joe Biden regrets using the term
    illegal to describe an illegal immigrant, but not his policies that
    led to the murder of Laken Riley. Outrageous.

    Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) said: Thats why he needs money for more
    clerks at the borderto document them as he lets them in. And the media
    nods and goes right along. The Democrats and the mainstream media hate
    the American people.

    This isnt difficult the term alien appears multiple times in
    Title 8 of the U.S. Code, said former Trump-era Acting Homeland
    Security Secretary Chad Wolf. It describes a person who is not a
    citizen or national of the U.S. And when those individuals choose to
    enter the country illegally they become illegal aliens. Theres
    nothing derogatory about these terms.

    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said: Disgusting. Joe Biden just
    apologized to the illegal alien animal who brutally murdered Laken
    Riley.

    Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin responded: Expressing regret for accurately describing the Venezuelan illegal alien charged with bashing
    in Laken Rileys skull as an illegal is a remarkable moment. The one
    and only time Biden mentions her name he botches it and now he
    hopes to avoid offending her alleged killer.

    Former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker said: Hey @JoeBiden how about apologizing for the policies that left the border open to illegal
    immigrants like the one who killed Laken Riley?!?

    What an absolutely pathetic embarrassment for a man said podcast
    host Dave Rubin.

    It certainly was appalling to see the president of the United States apologizing to an illegal alien rapist-murderer for hurting his feelings
    while not even being able to correctly remember the name of his American victim.

    In other news, I just did my taxes and was dismayed to learn I still owe Ukraine $15,000.

    Of course that wasn't what he was doing at all as I'm sure you are
    aware. The reason for the quick backtrack was to avoid people in the
    media decrying his use of the word. Which was too late as I've already
    seen people bemoaning his use of the word "illegal", even if he
    quickly corrected his use to "undocumented."

    Gosh, I fully understand why using a word would throw you into a full pearl-clutching incident.

    Your insults don't even make any logical sense. I use the word 'illegal'
    all the time to refer to those who enter this country contrary to law.
    Why would I object to Biden doing it?

    No, I'm not the one running for the smelling salts over Biden's use of
    the world 'illegal', Shit-Shoes. The Leftist media and grievance groups
    are.

    Did you hear there's this other guy running for president who wants to
    (and you need to be sitting down before you read any further)... but
    there's a presidential candidate who wants to release hundreds of
    violent criminals back into society. No, Really!!!

    Just one of the reasons I'm not voting for president in the upcoming
    election. I can't stand either one of them.

    He has no need to create an unwanted controversy over an item that
    isn't worth bringing up but our 24 news hour cycle will do so to help
    fill the hours.

    Way more than you.

    Nope. I've never "backtracked" over accurately describing someone as an illegal, Shit-Shoes.

    No, you're running for the smelling salts over the word "undocumented",
    which is more accurate.

    The hell it is. Illegal alien describes their legal status a lot more
    clearly than "undocumented" and more to the point, it's how the U.S.
    Code refers to them.

    But hey, did you know that the 'progressive' grievance groups now claim
    that even undocumented is stigmatizing and bigoted? Yep, welcome to the
    club, you filthy racist.

    Ever the trailblazer, Gavin Newsom rides the curl of the 'progressive'
    wave by saying the quiet part out loud, referring to them as
    'pre-citizens'. And on not a few occasions, he's simply called them
    Americans, completely erasing any distinction of citizenship whatsoever.

    But only because it doesn't slur a whole group of people, and you don't
    have any cover for your racism.

    How does illegal alien "slur a whole group of people", Shit-Shoes?

    Thrill us with your acumen.

    You DO know that your vote can only affect the outcome we have to live
    with, and isn't taken as your personal position-paper on the candidate.

    You DO know that it really doesn't matter who I vote for since I live in California, right? Biden gets all of CAs electoral votes whether I vote
    or not. It won't even be close.

    No, that's you reading into it. I'm sure what he meant was immigrants
    built the country, whether they were documented or undocumented or
    slaves.

    Are you sure he hasn't proven his own case of dementia?

    The only one I see showing signs of possible dementia is Trump (that's
    not just my opinion but those of professionals partly based on his
    making up words on a regular basis.) Whether Trump is suffering from
    dementia or not I can't say, but he's clearly got issues. https://www.salon.com/2024/03/01/like-someone-pulled-the-metaphorical-plug-dr-john-gartner-on-accelerating-dementia/


    With Biden I see a man that is clearly slowing down due to his age
    but still appears to have a full grasp of his faculties. Of course I'm
    also a bit biased as Trump's narcissism was always a turn off for me,
    but his apparent desire to become a dictator is even more so, but I
    can't say I'm a fan of all of Biden's policies. He's just a better
    choice in my eyes than Trump.

    President Joe Biden ignited widespread backlash over the weekend after
    he apologized for correctly referring to the illegal alien who is
    suspected of murdering a young woman in Georgia as "an illegal" because
    he did not want to "disrespect" illegal immigrants.

    It certainly was appalling to see the president of the United States >apologizing to an illegal alien rapist-murderer for hurting his feelings >while not even being able to correctly remember the name of his American >victim.

    Gang member too, which Homeland Security listed him as if Immigration
    had bothered to run his name.

    In other news, I just did my taxes and was dismayed to learn I still owe >Ukraine $15,000.

    Don't forget $50,000 for your share of interest on the national debt.

    No, because I don't believe that was on his mind at that moment. It
    was simply using a word that he knew would create controversy and from
    what I heard supposedly Nancy Pelosi said not to use. So it would
    clearly be on his mind much more from some typical governmental muckup
    at a level that's far below where he operates. I wouldn't blame any
    President for such an action, but I would blame them if they are made
    aware of it and take no steps to prevent it from happening in the
    future.

    (Actually, even that's up for debate. Talking to some old friends who

    I have no idea what you are talking about any more. The unwanted
    controversy you and BTR1701 were talking was the quick backtrack, not
    use of the term "illegal" in response to Marjorie Taylor Greene trying
    to get Biden to say Laken Riley's name.

    I'm saying, and I thought I made it quite clear, that a phony
    controversy over anti-P.C. language was stirred up to distract from this pointed failure of Biden's policy of paroling too many into the United
    States, failing to perform even a minimal background check. Biden has
    everyone talking about use of the word "illegal" so that the underlying
    issue -- parole without a background check at either of two
    opportunities -- gets ignored.

    Even if only 10% of those entering the US from Mexico have that sort

    Sure, because as I'm seeing people say the Presidential campaign is
    now in full swing. So the State of the Union address was just a part
    of that campaign and some are hoping that Biden has given up on his
    ideas of bringing everyone together because that doesn't seem possible

    Are you sure he hasn't proven his own case of dementia?

    President Joe Biden exhibited a series of memory lapses during his five-hour interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur, prompting White House lawyers to rescue him when he could not recall when he served as vice president, when his son Beau died of cancer, when former President Donald Trump was elected, or what a fax machine was.

    A full transcript [1] of the interview--during which Hur pressed Biden about his handling of classified documents found in his possession--was released Tuesday ahead of Hur's testimony on Capitol Hill. It appeared to support part of the reasoning behind Hur's decision not to prosecute. Hur said when he
    first released his report that he believed a jury would find Biden to simply
    be too old and forgetful.

    At one point during the interview, Biden struggled to recall the term "fax machine" as he described the layout of his library -- and one of the White House lawyers bailed him out.

    Later in the interview, he brought up the topic of his son Beau Biden, who
    died of cancer in 2015 -- but he struggled to recall the date that it happened even though he appeared to be aware that it was the reason he had not run for president while he was the outgoing vice president.

    Biden: Well, um ... I, I, I, I, I don't know. This is what, 2017, 2018,
    that area?

    Hur: Yes.

    Biden: Remember, in this timeframe my son is -- either been deployed
    or is dying ... And, and so what was happening, though -- what month did
    Beau die? Oh, God, May 30

    Lawyer: 2015

    Biden: Was it 2015 he had died?

    Just seconds later, Biden couldn't remember when President Donald Trump was elected, asking, "Trump gets elected in November of 2017?"

    When two people corrected him, noting that Trump was elected in 2016, Biden seemed confused: "16, 2016, all right, so why do I have 2017 here?"

    White House Counsel Ed Siskel jumped in, saying, "That's when you left office."

    The only one I see showing signs of possible dementia is Trump

    President Joe Biden lied about his testimony with special counsel Robert Hur, according to new transcripts of Hurs interviews with Biden over his handling of classified documents.

    Hurs February report concluded that Biden willfully retained classified documents but recommended no criminal charges in part because it said that Biden had a faulty memory and would appear as a sympathetic old man to a
    jury. One of the key details included in the report was that Biden did not remember the year his son Beau died. Biden said that he was taken aback by a question about his son, claiming that it was Hur who brought up the death.

    Theres even a reference that I dont remember when my son died, Biden said in February. How in the hell dare he raise that? Frankly, when I was asked
    the question, I thought to myself: It wasnt any of their damn business.

    The transcripts, obtained by ABC, show that it was actually Biden who brought up his son. Bidens confusion came after he was asked about what he was doing after Trump took office.

    And so I hadnt, I hadnt at this point I hadnt walked away from the idea that I may run for office again. But if I ran again, Id be running for president, he said, according to the transcript obtained by ABC. And, and
    so what was happening though what month did Beau die? Oh, God, May 30th-

    Two people at the interview chimed in and said it was 2015, after which Biden said, Was it 2015 he had died?

    It was May of 2015, one person responded.

    https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/03/IMG_2838-768x833.png

    Elsewhere in the transcripts, Biden said Im a young man, so its not a problem, when asked by Hur to discuss previous events as accurately as possible.

    Biden also made a comment about how he hoped investigators had not found any risqu pictures of my wife in a bathing suit, adding, Shes beautiful.

    Biden also told interviewers that he did not mean to keep any classified documents.

    I had no purpose for them, and I think it would be inappropriate for me to keep clearly classified documents, he said, before saying that it was his staff who packed his belongings from the White House. I dont want to hold them responsible or get them in trouble, but I believe they were the ones who were packing up and were deciding, you know, where, where things were
    going, to the best of my knowledge, he said.

    Biden also discussed moving boxes, which were full of classified documents,
    out of the way in his garage to park his car. He said he did not know what
    was in the boxes.

    I remember moving boxes, literally physically moving them, with help, one
    side to the other so I could get the Corvette in that garage on the left, Biden said. Other portions of the transcript show Biden talking about his Corvette and making car sounds.

    In which President Biden engages in a long discussion about cars as
    Robert Hur tries, unsuccessfully, to get him back on track. Twice,
    according to the transcript, the president "makes car sound."

    built the country, whether they were documented or undocumented or

    Really?

    When he was yelling at the press about how insulted he was that the DOJ
    said he couldn't even remember when his son died, and he said he carries around a rosary to remember his son "from Our Lady of the... um... Our
    Lady of the... well, you know..."

    In the middle of indignantly denying accusations that he can't even
    remember key personal details, he blanks out on a key personal detail.
    And that was minutes after he told everyone that Mexico and Gaza share a border.

    And you still say the only person losing it is Trump? Seriously?

    Let me ask you this. If you owned a business, would you hire Biden to
    run it without supervision? I sure wouldn't. Yet he's running the United States of America.

    (Actually, even that's up for debate. Talking to some old friends who
    are on PPD, they describe it as a Weekend at Bernie's situation and that
    he's not in charge of much anymore. He's like John Gill in the TOS

    Now imagine Biden were a narcissist who believes himself a 'stable
    genius' possessed of infallible vision and unconstrained latitude...

    He does it every day, but we're required to ignore it and pretend he's

    Funny, but the Republican investigating his classified docs didn't say

    No, because I don't believe that was on his mind at that moment. It
    was simply using a word that he knew would create controversy and from
    what I heard supposedly Nancy Pelosi said not to use.

    Nancy Pelosi is formulating rules for the president to follow now, is

    Nope, moron... there is no "rule" that Nancy or anyone else formulated

    Whenever he goes rogue and takes questions from reporters, he constantly
    says he's going to get in trouble for doing it. Obviously someone's making rules for his behavior even if he doesn't always follow them.

    As someone who has been through this I could CERTAINLY tell you almost
    to the minute the moment my daughter summoned me to tell me that she
    had called the ambulance and that my wife was passed out in the next
    room to where I'm writing this from. I could also tell you practically
    to the minute when she was pronounced dead and also when they put her
    in a body bag, loaded her on a gurney and wheeled her out of our home
    for the last time.

    And while I have felt that some of the inquirers it 'wasn't any of
    their own damn business" I in my grief was lucid enough to fudge it to
    the extent of saying "March 2022" or even "early 2022" rather than
    "9:35pm 7 March 2022" .

    So while I feel his grief and obviously know I'm not a public figure
    like he is can tell you there are certain things that you NEVER ever
    forget. [And in that light wonder how one of my relatives mentally
    survived knowing he was accidentally responsible for the death of HIS
    spouse some years earlier. Or whether I could have found milady
    earlier than my daughter did - it was a perfectly normal evening up to
    that - and thus bought her precious time that could have saved her.

    So having actually gone through this myself feel that either Biden
    clutched when the microphone was before him or he did a totally inept
    job of avoiding discussing he felt was too close to home to discuss.
    Which given he spends far more time around microphones (by virtue of
    his position) than I do seems implausible.

    Ubi lies there as Biden remembered the month and day his son died. He
    likely also remembered the year but a number of other people said the
    year while Biden was saying the month and day his son died. When
    looking at the transcript and not just what the official report said
    it's hard not to see this as a Republican taking this as an
    opportunity to stage an attack on a President from the opposing party.
    Not necessarily unexpected but still.

    No, you're running for the smelling salts over the word "undocumented",
    which is more accurate.

    The hell it is. Illegal alien describes their legal status

    That's interesting. If you rob a liquor store you've done something
    illegal.

    And if you cross the U.S. border without authorization, you've done
    something illegal.

    Do you really need this explained to you?

    I don't what the flying fuck "legal status" means though, as

    The United States Code uses the term illegal alien and defines it under

    Crossing the border to request asylum is perfectly legal.

    Worst I've ever done in that department was chasing a frisbee about
    20' into the United States at the Peace Arch Border Park which is just
    south of Vancouver, Canada.

    I've always been amazed how poorly the security is at that park since
    it would seem to be a very easy way for an illegal to gain entry - in
    either direction.

    (The Arch is built straddling the border about 200' inland from the
    shore at the point where the 49th parallel - which defines most of the US-Canadian border W of the Great Lakes - hits the ocean. It was built
    in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the peace in the War of
    1812)

    Nope.

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Biden administration said on Saturday it was immediately suspending Trump-era asylum agreements with El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, part of a bid to undo his Republican predecessor's hardline immigration policies.

    Oh, look! Another of those EOs that Biden issued facilitating illegal
    alien entry and causing the chaos at the border.

    But we're supposed to believe the Effas of the world when they cry it's
    "the bill! the bill! the bill!" that's the cause of it all.

    The so-called "safe third country" agreements, inked in 2019 by the Trump administration and the Central American nations, force asylum seekers from the region to first seek refuge in those countries before applying in the United States.

    So when you said it was 'perfectly legal', you meant Biden had just
    legalized the chaos by EO.

    Gotcha. That makes it soooo much better. (Although it does highlight how absolutely full of shit Democrats are when they claim they want a secure
    border and then do shit like this which is 100% guaranteed to make it
    less secure.)

    Good. Now why don't you apologize for lying and insinuating EO's are
    something illegal, unconstitutional, or even unusual.

    I will not because I did not. Although one wonders how Biden countermanded the safe third country requirement of the law with a mere EO, which was promulgated by Congress pursuant to treaty. Presidents can't change or negate statutes with EOs.

    Well, that guy and every other President since Washington has had that ability.

    Not even close.

    The first executive order was issued by Washington on June 8, 1789.

    What statute did Washington attempt to re-write or repeal with that EO?
