"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."

it still makes Biden's tweet aspirational about his effectiveness, not a lie which was your original, intentionally incendiary statement.
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.

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?

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).

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.

In the last five years of the Empire, one out of two newborns was vaccinated in half the departments, and the number of smallpox cases declined to about one-quarter of the pre-revolutionary number.

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.

Barack’s Vice President has flopped miserably. He has the lowest rating of any modern president. America is being invaded. Inflation is still high, and everyone aside from Baby Boomers cannot afford a house and can barely make ends meet. Biden is a war monger and a completely corrupt, hair-sniffing pedophile.

Kamala has a lower rating than Joe. She’s a joke and incompetent. A laughing hyena in high heels.

Gavin Newsom? Many Democrats want him to jump in and replace Biden, but he’s simply a younger version of Joe. Despite Gavin’s slick talking and slicked-back hairdo, he has destroyed California. They act like that’s an accomplishment, but Americans aren’t that stupid. Besides, he’s another white male.

Therefore, don’t be surprised if they trot out Hillary once more during the Democrat Convention. They’ll say she’s the most experienced. She certainly is seasoned and she looks it, but she’s a year younger than Trump. Joe is on tilt and then can’t roll back his odometer…so don’t be surprised if Hillary is one again thrown into the breach. She wants so very badly to defeat Trump, and she will lose. Again!

Another Hillary loss will be glorious.
I don’t know if the cancer has spread to his brain, or if he realized he likely won’t live to see Hilary die, so he felt the need to make an obit cartoon? Like, he’s also back to the same 2020 “SHE’LL RUN ANY DAY NOW” nonsense and the cartoon has nothing to do with anything.

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).
