This is PRECISELY the unhinged verbage that is dividing this country. This is WAY out of line and you do not get to walk this back.
I think you missed it but we have a President who says the most vile lies of pretty much anyone.

Is it impossible for you, to not bring everything back to Trump?

Trump is obnoxious, so it's OK to say the GOP must die?

Paul, Biden told a room full of blacks, that Republicans "want to put y'all back in chains".

How much worse does it get, than that? Has Trump said many things that are more hateful, more divisive, more demonstrably false, than that? Telling blacks that Republicans see them as subhuman, that' snot as bad as anything that Trump has ever said?

But it's OK when Democrats do it. Because shut up!

ANY criticism of any liberal, anywhere, you reflexively respond with "but Trump". Like a Pavlovian dog.

Its a lot more telling that when even you know I've got you, you can't admit I have a point, so you dismiss it.

I can go all day with Biden, he's been the democrats pit bull in the legislature for 4 decades Paul (he single handedly ended the tradition of opposition party approving SCOTUS nomination with Bork, tried to portray Thomas as untrustworthy around women (that's not playing to a racist stereotype!), . But that ""chains" comment, in my opinion, is the worst thing he ever said. By far.

I asked you what Trump has said that was worse, and you came up with squat. But you couldn't admit that truth. One might say that's also telling.

You have gotten too sarcastic for me and too petty where you only post when you can point out things like the wrong month.

Is there ANYBODY who disagrees with you, who doesn't suffer from character flaws? I'm angry, TDF is petty...

Is it remotely possible to have a decent, principled disagreement with liberalism? Or does it necessarily mean one has serious flaws?

More and more and more, the liberals here respond to statements about policies or actual events, with insults. Because you're realizing, it's all you have. When you can't make us wrong, you can call us jerks.

The remark was a response to the Romney campaign saying they were going to "unshackle" Wall Street and this was the context of his remarks.

Also, Biden has said similar things before ..."“The last time we liberated the economy under their proposals, the last eight years put the middle class in chains. My lord, how many times we have to go back to that horror movie?”

So this is the worst thing Biden has said and it's really just a silly slip. Joe says silly things sometimes Jim.

First, if I articulate what Trumps obnoxious comments "are in response to", that makes his statements OK? Or does only Biden get that courtesy?

Second, if you look at the deregulation done by Trump, did that cause large-scale damage to blacks? Because WDMSO just said recently that trumps rising tide lifted all boats, including blacks. Blacks have never, ever been better off in America than they were right before covid hit. So it would seem that Biden's remarks, in addition to being divisive, were also proven to be stupidly wrong by empirical results.

"it's really just a silly slip."

We're all shocked you give him a pass.
