I wonder what it feels like to have the President of the whole country pronounce you an immediate threat to our Democracy on prime time TV.. No mincing words, there. That was a battle cry, a warning. He definitely stepped up.
He's having some problem with his throat. Feel better, Joe!

(6,197 posts)my experience has been that when you are saying pointedly honest and potentially explosive, but necessary, words you may have sinus drainage. It could be a hangover from NOT having sold used cars for a living. It's as if the airways understand a line of challenging the peace has been crossed and adrenaline is clogging the passageways to provide extra padding for any blows to the face. A time for words has ended and the time for action is here. It's something I've yet to hear anthropologists discuss and I've probably totally misinterpreted the phenomenon.

Has he been compared to George VI yet? I believe he'd do well in the comparison.

(44,460 posts)TFG used his big mouth since 2015 to either attack or counter-attack critics in politics and the media, and later, HRC. And the critics were mollified into silence.
Until Adam Kinzinger, Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, Jamie Raskin, and increasingly, Chuck Schumer.
I think that Biden was waiting for the right moment with the right words.
And he rose to the occasion like a leader. He didn't use rhetoric for re-election purposes. He spoke for history, tradition, the Constitution, and for our future.
