Lawrence Martin (Globe) - Is Joe Biden doomed already after just one year?
- Thread starter Moviefan-2
- Start date
Larry Martin went full TDS when Trump won the primaries. He never.missed a chance to slam Trump and no conspiracy theory was too outlandish for Larry to ignore it. He was a Biden and Hillary cheerleader and completely open about it. He wrote for the Canadian(read GTA/Ottawa/BC ) readers who loved him for it as Larry reinforced every caricature and every stereotype of America so easily embraced by much of the Canadian news consumers. The Biden's implosion must really be scary and surreal to Larry and his bots. BTW, I am a regular reader of his columns- I have a great sense of humor.No, I just have to be someone who has actually read his columns.
The time has come for a progressive revival
Until now, the Conservatives have held the blowback in check while they dismantle the old Canadian way. That may be about to changewww.theglobeandmail.com
What failing health or mental decline ? Biden has been the same for years. At least he doesn't say he's the smartest and most fit president ever. Only a useless lying sack of shit would say that. I agree that Biden won't seek reelection. The dems know that someone else would do better at polling even though Biden got the most votes in history by a landslide
At least Joe lets doctors write their own reports rather than wring them for the doctors like the other guy and lying about his condition like he did with Covid.
Snappy comeback.Yes, I have. That's the difference between you and me.
Did that take all day?
I was with you until that final sentence.
Hey, its a happy day for Biden today.
There is so much Trump crap coming out today that only the totally humourless aren't laughing at the Trump family and and white house team.
Laughing as all the subpoenas get signed.....
I think Barr's going to have to testify now.
He's always been a gaffe machine and a political lightweight but he is most definitely not the same these days.
My dad lived to be 90. Until he got ill in the last year of his life, his memory and cognitive abilities were light years ahead of what we're currently witnessing in Biden.
I was quite serious. You should actually read some of his columns and/or books before you start arguing about his political leanings.
I'm confident Martin would have no issue with me referring to him as a left-winger. Given that reality, I don't why it bothers you.
It doesn't bother me, you just need reminding that what you consider left wing, Canadians consider right wing.
You're just that far out of touch.
After all, only 3% of Canadians think that there is no evidence of climate change like you do.
You just have no idea how far you've drifted.
You have no idea how to read your own graphs.
Take a closer look. The question the pollsters asked was: "Is the Earth warming?"
Here's something I posted more than six years ago, on Nov. 15, 2015:
Here's another one from April 2016:
For the record, Franky, that puts me in the 97% who say warming has occurred.
It astonishes me that a guy who couldn't pass Ontario's Grade 10 literacy test insists he's some sort of authority on "the science."
It's no wonder Frankfooter is so confused about Lawrence Martin's political leanings.

Glad to hear that you are finally admitting that climate change is happening.
Its about time you admitted that the science is correct.
Apart from Frankfooter's clearly established inability to read at an adult level, what this really demonstrates is that "climate change" is a meaningless phrase.
Let's put aside Franky's hilarious use of the word "finally" in response to quotes from more than six years ago (
). The reality is I have always acknowledged that the planet has experienced some warming since the 19th century.In fact, pretty much everyone agrees with that, including the overwhelming majority of people who are dishonestly slandered as "deniers."
The debate is about the hypothesis of man-made global warming. Specifically, the UN-driven hypothesis that:
- There is something unusual about the warming that occurred in the 20th century.
- That man-made emissions have been the dominant cause of warming since 1950.
- That human activity poses an existential threat to the planet.
I question all of those positions, particularly given the clear mismatch between the predictions and the observed data.
(And, no, I don't intend to debate the mismatch in this thread. If someone wants to have that debate, start a new thread).
I also think it is bizarre to create energy policies based on computer-model predictions of the next 50 to 100 years. As recent history continues to show, it's impossible to predict how energy will be produced in the future and what scientific breakthroughs will continue to improve life on this planet.
The future is unknowable.

P.S. I'm sorry I had to explain all of that to the so-called "expert" on the science. It's really quite astonishing that Frankfooter has spent years copying and pasting talking points from various websites yet he doesn't understand even the most basic elements of the debate.
Getting back on topic (), the Associated Press reported polling results on Jan. 20 that showed only 28% of Americans want Biden to run again.
The same poll showed only 48% of Democrats want Biden to run again.

Biden approval hits new low at one-year mark: AP-NORC poll
President Joe Biden ends his first year in the White House with a clear majority of Americans for the first time disapproving of his handling of the presidency in the face of an unrelenting pandemic and roaring inflation.

That plants you firmly in the science denier camp, moviefan. Adding in a reference to a conspiracy theory the UN is involved only confirms this statement.
That puts you in an extreme minority of Canadians, a group the rest of us are getting tired of, along with anti vaxxers.
In our survey, overwhelming proportions of scientists (91%) and journalists (93%) state that the news media should cover climate change as a crisis – a view shared by 73% of Canadians.
Canadians increasingly impatient with climate-change deniers: poll
The past couple of years have provided many examples of extreme weather events that, according to scientists, were exacerbated by climate change.

That probably means Harris will be the presidential nominee and if she wins I'll need a new T-shirt.Getting back on topic (

Amazing. You've already forgotten that you're a total ignoramus when it comes to the science.
After years of me posting that the data show the Earth has gotten warmer, there is no explanation for post 28 other than total ignorance.
I'm not sure. While it's highly unlikely Biden will run again, I'm not sure the Dems will go for Harris.
It'll be hard to explain why not. But she's so awful at the job, they may have to search elsewhere.
You've been posting this nonsense here for years:
Those are the views of a conspiracy theory believing, science denier.
Now you're trying to backtrack and say that you now agree that the planet is warming, though you've argued that the numbers reported are wrong, the science is wrong, the scientists are wrong and everyone who agrees with them over you are also wrong.
The percentage of Canadians who think that climate change is a UN conspiracy is likely even smaller than the 3% number posted above.
They've already elected a black president, electing a woman and someone married to a Jew isn't unreasonable.
After all, I'd say Bernie would have beaten Trump as well, if he was the choice. He'd have been great.
I'd say if she doesn't get elected its more likely due to her political skills than race, and the race of her partner is likely way down the list of reasons.
She hasn't been able to make use of the opportunities so far, but then again, either was Pence in his four years. You can't really hog the limelight as VP.
unbelievable, bravo ..."Harris is very smart" ? - did you listen for ANY of her interviews ? / "very capable" ? - yeah, starting from her first assignment to fix the border ..
She wasn't even selected by her own party, she had the worst ratings and had to drop out of the race. Her approval rating in her own state was 7% ....who are you kidding, dude...read something at least before posting nonsense
