On Wednesday, Joe Biden spoke to the national conference of North America’s Building Trades Unions, the AFL-CIO group for workers in the construction industry.
It may be one of the few times that I’ve ever seen Joe Biden get rousing applause. But that’s because it’s a union event. Unions are one of the few remaining entities that can still be forced to clap for Joe Biden, even though many of them have suffered through lockdowns and are still suffering through Bidenflation.
Since he was at a union event, he started with an appeal to them, threatening Amazon–and presumably, other American corporations–with forced unionization.
“Amazon, here we come,” Biden said, in yet another weird theatrical whisper. If the choice of being in a union was up to the workers alone, you wouldn’t need to force them into unions. You wouldn’t be for the PRO Act which is so harmful to independent contractors. Although, ironically, they would eat their own by going after a liberal corporation like Amazon. Why are Democrats so hot for pushing for this? Required dues for the union translate into more donated money to the Democrats. Democrats want to mandate everything that they think will help ensure their hold on power.
Biden also repeated two lies that he commonly repeats in his shtick: about how the gas prices went up during his childhood (they didn’t), and how his spending plans aren’t going to cost Americans who make less than $400,000 a penny more.
His spending actions are already costing us hundreds more each month. Talk about a “tax.” Americans don’t believe what he has to say when it comes to the economy anymore, if they ever did.
He claims he’s trying to help the middle class because he was “raised by a dad, not a joke” — he left out his mom.
But his policies are hurting the middle class he claims he wants to help. Whenever he says “not a joke,” you know that there’s a problem with what he’s saying.
Then he went on to say how hard he works on trying to unify anyone. It’s a wonder his tongue didn’t go up in flames over that one.
From the moment he started his campaign, he lied about and demonized the other side — claiming Donald Trump called neo-Nazis “very fine people.” He’s kept repeating that lie. He’s demonized the unvaccinated; he’s compared Republicans to Bull Connor. At what point is he going to try “unifying” — because he certainly hasn’t done anything so far.
But the comment that Biden made at the event that had the most eyebrows going up was what he said about World War III. Despite Biden saying that he wants to avoid World War III in Ukraine, many are concerned about how involved he seems to want us to be. He’s also made comments that the White House has had to clean up and walk back, talking about American troops seemingly going to Ukraine as well as regime change when it comes to Vladimir Putin.
If that was supposed to be a joke, as Joe would say: not a joke. World War III is not something to joke about. But, it also keeps leading us back to that question — despite what he claims, he seems to keep talking about our being involved more deeply in the war. Why? What’s on his confused mind that keeps having him say this stuff?
