I'll wait to see the whole thing before commenting any further.
See you in an hour and a half.
Well I did watch it to the point of the remark in question. Yep, totally misrepresented. It is about a trade war with China over auto manufacturing in Mexico. Plain and simple. The blood spilled will be that of our domestic auto industry if Biden gets re elected
Don't believe me I bet. Take a listen, I cued it up about a minute prior. Y'all got yer undies in a bunch over pure misdirection.
Strongman rule is a fantasy. Essential to it is the idea that a strongman will be your strongman. He won't. In a democracy, elected representatives listen to constituents. We take this for granted, and imagine that a dictator would owe us something. But the vote you cast for him affirms your irrelevance. The whole point is that the strongman owes us nothing. We get abused and we get used to it.
I'll give you that it was a very poor choice of words. Having said that, I searched and searched for an unedited video that does not stop abruptly after that remark to allow for its actual context. There aren't any, yet. Your article does make some cloudy inconclusive comment about the context applying to our domestic auto industry and not a predicted civil disturbance.
I'm sure that all you are thinking about is a civil war and that you don't care about any context.

Edit: It is hard to imagine that anyone who has just had a half billion dollars seized by the government is not going to be upset a little bit. Could be that payback will be a bitch.
I want to see the speech, to make sure theyâre not cherry picking but, from the Times this morning, as T speaks on immigration:
He asserted, without evidence, that other countries were emptying their prisons of âyoung peopleâ and sending them across the border. âI donât know if you call them âpeople,â in some cases,â he said. âTheyâre not people, in my opinion.â He later referred to them as âanimals.â
If everyone is doing it, it's not wrong. And the President (both of them?) should have total immunity. Even to kill an opponent.
Be careful what you wish for, Donald. Your kids likely stand to inherit a lot if you shuffle off this mortal coil. So having them strike a deal with the DNC before you ruin their brand further isn't too outlandish.
FTA - if folks don't want to go through the article "Reade had approached Time’s Up, an organization that works with women who come forward with sexual harassment, assault or discrimination stories; the Intercept report asserted that the group declined to fund Reade’s complaint against Biden." "Reade told the New York Times that she complained to three Biden Senate staffers at the time about the sexual harassment allegations, but did not mention the alleged assault." "Marianne Baker, then Biden’s executive assistant, told the Timesin a statement that she had “absolutely no knowledge or memory of Ms. Reade’s accounting of events, which would have left a searing impression on me as a woman professional, and as a manager.”
No physical evidence or eyewitnesses about the alleged attack have surfaced, and no contemporary formal documentation of her complaint has been found. No other women have alleged that Biden attacked them, touched their genitals or sexually assaulted them in a manner consistent with Reade’s allegation."

Reade said: âTo my Russian brothers and sisters, Iâm sorry right now that American elites are choosing to have such an aggressive stance. Just know that most American citizens do want to be friends and hope that we can have unity again.
âI am enjoying my time in Moscow, and I feel very at home.â
Biden’s accuser, Tara Reade, was one of eight women who registered complaints of inappropriate touching in April of last year — before Biden ever jumped into the presidential race. As Biden appeared likely to be the Democratic nominee, Reade came forward in late March and told her story about her former boss. In an interview with podcast host Katie Halper, Reade said Biden penetrated her vagina with his fingers. She alleges the incident occurred in 1993, while she was an aide in his Senate office. What Reade describes is rape, according to the Department of Justice’s own definition. In an interview with Megyn Kelly, Reade has called on Biden to end his presidential bid and “step forward and be held accountable.”

But, for the Democratic establishment, perhaps fearing both more years of Trump and a Bernie Sanders presidency, Biden’s conduct has been accepted. His character has been troublingly defended by colleagues — especially by women eyeing a vice presidential nomination.
