Historical VitalSigns positions: "In 1932, Franklin Delano Roosevelt campaign's song was "Happy Days Are Here Again"; however, by 1936 the Great Depression had not ended. Thus, he was lying" "In 1952, Republicans said, "I Like Ike", however, he did not win the nomination uncontested. Thus, a lie" "In 1984, Reagan had a commercial calling it 'morning in America', but that commercial was aired in the evening. A lie."

skeleton warrior posted:it still makes Biden's tweet aspirational about his effectiveness, not a lie which was your original, intentionally incendiary statement. Nobody thinks about the presidency the way you're scolding people to, not even the president himself who routinely makes promises to pass an agenda, not to simply wait around and hope someone else does something that he can then support, because that is not the the role of the president who is a political leader not simply a functionary with a rubber stamp.

If it's the word "Biden" that's an impediment to understanding, substitute Trump who also came into office with a trifecta and a long list of promises. Was he an effective president, why or why not?

VitalSigns posted:It wasn't a statement, it was a question to examine what you were saying. You're jumping on someone for simply saying what the president said and when this is pointed out, doing a bunch of gymnastics to add imaginary caveats to reconcile Biden's words with what you think they ought to be. lol, you literally asked "So this was a lie then?", a sneering, incendiary statement where you insisted that a campaign promise should be taken outside of the realm of factual possibility, where if Biden had been elected without a Democratic Senate or House and he had no chance of passing anything it still would have been A LIE in your estimation And now you're accusing me of "gymnastics to add imaginary caveats" for saying "campaign statements are made assuming the audience has even a basic undersanding of how law making works"

It was a question, it literally had a question mark lol. I'm not trying to make you mad, I'm just pointing out that what Alhazred said is what Biden said and they're not wrong. If you don't understand that the president is a party leader who is expected to be able to get laws passed, not passively wait for someone else to do it, you're not going to understand why anything happens in politics

Omg lol someone reported a cartoon edit MOD EDIT (Inferior Third Season): Checking to see if your own post has been reported is a bit weird in itself, but it is even weirder that you edit the post to declare to everyone that it has been reported. The only reason I can think of to do this is to create a hostile environment for others, so that they will hesitate reporting your posts in the future, lest they also be called out for making a "stupid report". This is interfering with forum moderation, and if I see it again, you will be taking an extended break (longer than the one you're currently on).

Alexander Grab posted:Napoleon encouraged the population to get immunized, although he never proclaimed it mandatory. In May 1811, the Emperor ordered Henri-Marie Husson, one of the chief physicians of France, to vaccinate his son shortly after his birth. The well-publicized event intended to show an example to the French people. Aside from Napoleon, vaccination enjoyed the strong support of other top officials, including Lucien Bonaparte, and Maurice de Talleyrand. In 1800, the government organized the Comité central de vaccine, consisting of medical and administrative personnel, to combat smallpox nationwide. Payne posted:

Ben Garrison posted:It seems to me the Democrats should start beating the drum for Hillary to enter the race. After all, the Clintons had sway over their party for a long time. They got pushed aside by Barack and his operatives, but who does Obama have to offer right now? That’s right, Big Mike. That’s it. Many want her to run, but she won’t because she will be a disaster and he/she knows it. It has nothing to do with whether or not she’s a ’[slur]’ )and that’s “OK” according to the late Joan Rivers), it has to do with her lack of experience and, well, she hated America until Barry got in. It would be fun to see her debate Trump, but no, she won’t run.

Pope: Scott Morrison gave his final speech to parliament (ABC) so most cartoons are a reflection on his legacy. Most will remind of the nuclear subs and not holding a hose, but the "announceable" was a signature element of Morrison's strategy where he realised that our dogshit media will give a (Liberal) PM more credit for announcing a thing than take them task when they either gently caress up or don't bother implementing said thing. The background is Tom Roberts' "Big Picture", or in full "The Opening of the First Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia by His Royal Highness the Duke of Cornwall and York, 9 May 1901". Also: Which big employers have the largest and smallest gender pay gaps? New data reveals all (ABC). Rowe: Katauskas: Lethbridge: Wilcox: The last image is because Scott Morrison said he wants to be "like Julia Gillard" post parliament, meaning not commenting much on current Australian politics and moving on to their next thing (which in Morrison's case is moving to the USA and helping Christian conservative politics, you're welcome America). Spooner: Malcolm and Lucy Turnbull train sights on pumped hydro in the Hunter Valley (ABC).

Meanwhile, back in the 1952 campaign season! 1 2 Adlai Stevenson is far too brainy to connect with the voters. He's also funny, so the Trib cartoonists start drawing him as a jester. 3 4 5 I just like the design of Insecurity. 6 7 8 The Trib isn't openly criticizing Eisenhower any more, but they're not showing a hell of a lot of enthusiasm either. Fortunately, they have a new hero to cheer for, Joe McCarthy! 9 10 11
