The No Change Presidency
After a month as president Joe Biden has already broken several major campaign promises.
There will be:
- No $2,000 checks.
- No minimum wage rises.
- No student debt forgiveness.
- No halting of deportations.
- No end of the war on Yemen.
- No return to the JCPOA.
As Alan MacLeod summarizes:
Biden began his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination in June 2019 at a Manhattan hotel, telling wealthy donors that “nothing would fundamentally change” under his presidency. After one month in office, it appears as if that is one campaign promise he is likely to keep.
The U.S. will also continue its wars on Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria.
We are left to guess where, not if, Biden will start another one.

re Norwegian @ # 77 who deliberately chose to misquote
I am sorry, but you claiming to be a mind reader isn’t convincing, and your assertion isn’t true. It is not honest to project intentions you have no knowledge of.
re Norwegian @ # 77 who deliberately chose to misquote _K_C_ @ # 25 when he said “What makes you think Biden isn’t beholden to Israel? immediately after he had copypasta’d KC’s post “Biden isn’t as beholden to Israel (which isn’t saying much since the rest of the gov’t is) “.
It isn’t even clear what you claim is a “misquote”, when my quote was verbatim from _K_C_s post. He claimed “Biden isn’t as beholden to Israel”, here is the full _K_C_ paragraph from #25 if you think it is more appropriate:
Biden isn’t as beholden to Israel (which isn’t saying much since the rest of the gov’t is) or Saudi Arabia (there is a “damning” report coming soon on the Kashogghi murder which allegedly ties it directly to MBS…duh) and most countries which are even possible military targets that represent a “threat” to US or Israeli interests have been thrown into chaos and instability (which was the real goal). China, Russia, North Korea, and even Iran are off the table in my opinion.
I am countering that by pointing to Bidens own statement that he is a Zionist, and thus clearly beholden to Israel. In Biden’s own words
Joe Biden: “I Am A Zionist. You Don’t Have To A Jew To Be A Zionist”
So I am countering _K_C_ statement by actual facts, and you call that a “deliberate misquote”?
I’m not highlighting this to have a go at norwegian
That’s a rather strange way of putting it.
I’m not highlighting this to have a go at norwegian, I raise this minor example of Norwegian choosing to twist K-C’s original post into a rhetorical question 100% at odds with K-C’s actual post, because I for one am getting really bored with posts at MoA that attempt to aberrate another’s post – possibly as a way to ‘prove’ a (imo non-existant), point.
The way I see it, you are guilty of exactly what you accuse me of, and it is not just “boring”, it is dishonest.
K_C made it clear in #25 that he didn’t reckon Biden wasn’t in either zionism’s or Nuttyahoo’s back pocke,t (and there is a difference), but that as deep in the zionist/nuttyahoo pocket bidencorp was & is, he reckoned that it wasn’t as deep as orangeutan had been.
All I did, and I really don’t see why I have to point this out again, was to show Biden declaring himself a long time Zionist, so it is clearly countering _K_Cs reckoning. That is called “debate” in my circles. If you disagree with me you are welcome to provide your own perspective and facts, but attributing false motives to me by claiming to be a mind reader is deeply dishonest, offensive and frankly stupid.
Since mind reading is ok with you maybe I should try it as well and say you are attempting some kind of gate keeping here? Surely not, because open debate with direct quotes and links to facts are just fine with you?
