Ron Klain quits

As you watch this, think of the great children Brandon has raised.

I was wrong. I thought the son, Ronald Reagan, had publicly stated that he was homosexual...had "come out." It was a mistake...not a lie. I apologize.

Whenever I am wrong...I acknowledge it.
And I respect that. I've done the same.

You are correct, hating one's father is not unusual. But my comment was that Reagan's kids WROTE BOOKS that spoke of, specifically and inferentially, how bad Reagan and Nancy were as parents. And that is correct.

The Long Goodbye Kindle Edition
by Patti Davis
The author delves into her memories to touch her father again, to hear his voice, to keep alive the years she had with him.

She writes as if past and present were coming together, of her memories as a child, holding her father’ s hand, and as a young woman whose hand is being given away in marriage by her father . . . of her father teaching her to ride a bicycle, of the moment when he let her go and she went off on her own . . . of his teaching her the difference between a hawk and a buzzard . . . of the family summer vacations at a rented beach house–each of them tan, her father looking like the athlete he was, with a swimmer’s broad shoulders and lean torso. . . .

What books are you talking about "specifically and inferentially, how bad Reagan and Nancy were as parents" ? Well?

If you want to be of the opinion that a comment in someone's diary is "far more damning" I can understand that.
That's reasonable. Definitely far more damning than loving memoirs.
I consider you to be a disgusting American conservative and a fucking moron, so it makes sense.
Respect lost. That didn't last long. Besides I'm a liberal. https://www.britannica.com/topic/liberalism/Classical-liberalism

Anything else left to discuss about this, Asshole?
Yes . I want to see a link to those alleged books "that spoke of, specifically and inferentially, how bad Reagan and Nancy were as parents." If you can't provide them I have to assume , once again, you're lying.
Of course if you can't and man up, that makes twice in one thread. That would be a pattern.
Your turn.
 
I suspect you're being deliberately obtuse and never lived in West Virginia, to boot. Purdue pharma is just a symbol for the damage caused by pharma greed. Here's a starter book to read: Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors and the Drug Company That Addicted America. There are also many others that point the finger at big pharma and how addiction to so-called legal drugs is exploited for profit.
What does this have to do w/ Hunter? He was addicted to an illegal drug.
If I read your comments correctly, you're trying to make the argument that "good" parents don't have drug-addicted kids. I don't know of any parent who willingly set out to create an addict.
Where did I say Brandon willingly created a crack and a sex addict?
There are many other factors such as peer pressure, risk-taking, disposable funds and physical and mental problems. If you and your kids said no to drug use, kudos. But you're just one positive anecdote in the history of addiction.
I've personally known very few cocaine addicts in my life. One or two actually. I've known of several sex addicts, male and female. The males I knew were both classmates of mine. Their fathers were definitely not the most honorable of society (according to the addicts themselves). Look at Tiger Woods. He definitely acquired that behavior from his father.
Just saying, odds are, the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. One can be a bad parent by example. We don't really know much about Biden for sure except that he was a poor student who plagiarized, although I'll give him somewhat of a break on that. I think he was probably too stupid to realize he plagiarized.

I also think you and others are filling in the blanks to Ashley's one-line diary entry to see what you want to see because you hate Biden
. I don't hate Biden. In fact I hate Trump more. But like most other presidents, I have no respect for either of them. None.
It seems like you're discounting the porn industry as having no effect on behaviour. Pornhub states that the US is its biggest porn consumer in the world.
Yet it had no effect on my kids. Hopefully not yours too, assuming you have them.

It's lazy thinking to blame the Biden family's (or any family's) drug problems on the father or mother. Every criticism made on this forum is by posters who hate Biden and want to bring him down, so I take it all with a grain of salt.
The only presidents I wouldn't want to bring down in my late childhood thru adult lifetime are Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Sr., Clinton, and Obama. So Biden is not alone.
As I've stated, 3 or 4 deserve to be shot as war criminals and/or traitors.
 
And I respect that. I've done the same.

I do not much give a shit what you assume because you are an asshole.

And if you want to think Ronald Reagan is an appropriate avatar for family values...think it. Some of the shit for which you advocate is even worse, so no big deal.

Frankly, I considered Reagan to be a happy warrior...with a decent personality. I voted for him the first time he ran...and deeply regretted it when I realized how dedicated to the idea of "government is the problem." (Mostly I was voting against Carter...which was another mistake I acknowledge.) Bottom line, he was a loser.

Well you aren't the first and won't be the last to think that. But that's irrelevant. YOu didn't man up, therefore you lied.

LIke liberalism?

Not according to his three kids who knew him far better than you. Liar.
 
Joe and his wife had 4 kids. One and his wife died in a car accident. The oldest Beau graduated Univ. of Pennsylvania and then Syracuse Law. He served in the National Guard and in Iraq.
Hunter graduated from college then Yale Law. He became a lobbyist. He had drug problems.
Naomi died in the car crash.
Ashley graduated from Tulane. She worked on his campaign .
He had 3 kids graduated and a couple had advanced degrees.
Joe is a practicing catholic and took his kids to church. That matters to many people. He did his parenting job well.

you are an asshole
.Is that because I caught you in two blatant lies in this thread alone?
. Reagan's kids WROTE BOOKS that spoke of, specifically and inferentially, how bad Reagan and Nancy were as parents.
What books?
.Whenever I am wrong...I acknowledge it.
. You didn't acknowledge there are no books you claimed existed. Another lie.
What else do you lie about? All the pussy you got in your bartender days? Hobnobbing with Frank Sinatra?
Good thing I don't read many of your posts. Your blatant lies are too easy to expose.
 

The Connection Between Laughing and Lying
Ever wonder if someone who laughs when you ask them a question is lying to you? What other reason would they be laughing? One reason is that people laugh when they're uncomfortable, anxious or stressed by being questioned. Other times, people laugh because they don't like the type of questions being asked.
When would laughing indicate that someone's possibly lying to you? When they laugh when you ask a question that isn't funny.

15 signs of a pathological liar
lie indiscriminately about a wide range of topics
tell untruths about minor events
feel undeterred by the fear of getting caught
experience a rush when you get away with lying
continue to lie even when confronted with the truth
extensive and unrequested details
colorful, fantastical, dramatic narratives
repeated changes to the story
signs of anxiety while talking
defensiveness when confronted
dodging questions or providing vague answers
your recollection of events is different from theirs (feeling gaslit)
they “talk the talk” but don’t “walk the walk” (words and actions are incongruent)
they retell a story that happened to you and pass it off as their own
your gut instinct tells you something is off with their stories

What causes pathological lying?
antisocial personality disorder (ASPD): may tend to lie for status, resources, or sympathy
borderline personality disorder (BPD): may tend to lie to avoid rejection or abandonment
factitious disorder or Munchausen syndrome by proxy: may lie to appear sick or have someone in their care appear sick
narcissistic personality disorder (NPD): may tend to lie to get something out of someone else, preserve a false sense of self, get out of trouble, or bolster others’ perceptions of them

I guess there may be some who think of Joe Biden as a great president. I am content to think of him as vastly superior to the president who came before him...ya know, the one he beat in the popular vote by 7,000,000.

As I have often said...

On his worst day in office, Joe Biden has been a better, more intelligent, more effective president than Trump was on his finest day in office.

That counts.
