    I don’t know that there is anything wrong with people who support Biden ….. but some do suffer from TDS.

    A bit OT but I found this a little interesting, espy from a left-of-center publisher:


    Inside Biden's obsession with "Morning Joe"
    https://www.axios.com/2024/02/02/biden-obsession-morning-joe-msnbc-media


    When White House aides appear on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," they're often booked between 7 and 7:40 a.m. ET. That's so they'll reach one crucial and loyal viewer: President Biden.

    Why it matters: Biden's years-long love of MSNBC's staple morning show affects how the White House runs — and who Biden listens to.

    Zoom in: The president often calls co-host Joe Scarborough — a former Republican congressman who's now a harsh critic of Donald Trump — to get Scarborough's take on issues and sometimes vent about media coverage, according to people familiar with the relationship.

    • During the day, Biden has long asked his staff whether they saw a story, a poll, or a segment that had been on the show. He's included show regulars in off-the-record conversations with policy experts.

    Repeating what I said in a previous post, that the description applies much more so to supporters of Biden's opponent than Joe himself, this time with an meme rather than a text response.

    Eh, it was a troll response to my thread earlier. I was genuinely curious in mine, but not surprisingly it devolved and I never got a response.

    Corrected it for you.
    When we had record low numbers of illegal crossings under President Trump Obama?
    With the exception of 2017, there were several years in which illegal crossings were lower under Obama (2011, 2012 and 2015) than under Trump.

    Interesting that Joe Biden himself has time to "often call co-host Joe Scarborough." Just goes to show you it really is all about controlling the narrative and not about what actually is getting done.

    Like in 2011, 2012 and 2015 when illegal crossings were lower than in 2018 and 2019.

    Why is this thread not whacked? @rivergator - this must violate at least one or more board rules.

    Edit: This would be the rule in question.

    Comments must be more substantial than an inane, "This is interesting." Poster is required to expand on what's interesting about the topic being posted

    How is this off topic. I answered the inane question completely. I thought about adding a comment about dunning Kruger but decided against it.

    It isn't. I had the same thought as you. If you
    This one falls in the crack. The stated rule quoted above is intended to address articles or quotes from other sites pasted onto this forum as an original post. These original posts are required to contain additional comments from the thread's starter addressing the topic and content of the original post on the thread.

    Hmmmm . . . . so a troll thread devoid of any substance is ok if there is no link. That seems weird, but I won't push it. Not a big deal.

    Correct, back in the 1950s way before the time of your false god and orange traitor.

    Oh, and how does it feel to go through life as a rampant xenophobe?

    Can there be any more extreme cognitive dissonance than Trump supporters questioning others. It's a joke.

    Answer as to supporter of either party.

    Yes.

    You are being scammed.
