MY SUCCINCT CRITIQUE OF THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE: JOE BIDEN vs DONALD TRUMP

No! It Was Not Joe Biden’s Finest Moment

He did not come across like he did at his first State Of The Union Address

Seems he had a bit of a cold or some sort of bug, as his voice often seemed to fail him. At times he seemed to be overthinking his answers. He often seemed to have too much information in the two minutes allotted for answers or for the one minute allowed for rebuttal.

Joe Seemed a bit old tonight Of Course he is in his 80’s. That being said, as POTUS his job is not to run a race, win a golf tournament, like Trump marked him to be, or even talk louder than anyone else. The most essential expectation is for him to be a respected leader and to make critical, protected,  and sound decisions about the well-being of We The People of The United of America. In addition, not only every American but often the security and stability of the country, the nation, and even the whole world.

The Donald, as per usual did his thing to “Show Up and Throw Up.” You could easily see that he did not prepare for a real debate.

In his finest 90 minutes, all he ever intended to do was repeat dishonest narrative utterances of lies and more lies. And also to pursue every line of attack that he has done for the past three and a half years. He did so with a vengeance.

As I listened throughout the show, it was not a debate in my humble opinion, but more a parody of an attack show, where he completely ignored the moderators and their questions being asked, in favor of indulging his need to whine, snap his teeth and point the finger of blame and shame at Joe Biden. In spite of the fact that he is the one who possesses the most problems and convictions of 91 counts of wrongdoing.

Donald is also older in age, and it showed, as he continued to refuse to answer reasonable questions in favor of endlessly hammering his own talking points indicating that his decision-making would be better than anyone else. All the while in his insistence that America is basically a shithole country-even though every economic factor is up in good stead, crime is down, and the infrastructure is being improved-a proud moment that makes all Americans Feel Better.

In the final analysis, this debate, which errs on the antics of a sideshow idiom; seems is not going to change anyone’s mind. What we did hope for was that the sitting POTUS would have come across as strong at the beginning, as he managed to do later in the show, or would be debated. Hopefully, The realization of being charged with 91 felonies, and being already found guilty of 34 of them pending the sentencing of July 11, 2024 for Donald Trump. This might just serve to light a fire for a greater turnout at the voting polls for Joe Biden in the upcoming presidential election of 2024-25.

 EVIDENCE IS SEEMLY ABOUND THAT TRUMP IS IN A PANIC ABOUT THE JUNE 27, PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE WITH POTUS BIDEN

FYI: Trump and his former White House Medical Representative Dr. Ronny Jackson are pushing this insane theory that President Biden is using drugs, and they are demanding that President Biden take a performance-enhancing drug test before the debate. This is part of a crusade to undermine the debate and give Trump a way to get out of showing up for the debate. Dr. Johnson has written a letter, and  Trump has posted it on his Truth Social page. Dr. Jackson has also sent a copy of the letter to the White House demanding President Biden follow his advice by going ahead with the performance-enhancing test to prove he is suffering from cognitive decline.

It is the belief that this school of thought about all of this concocted nonsense is being done to get Trump out of Thursday night’s presidential debate showdown. It seems he is in a panic and is getting cold feet about showing up to confront Biden for the presidential debate 

However, the real book and the ‘Truth-of-matter’ about Trump, that The People are Surmising are these narrative utterance proclamations:

• He is a narcissist and a liar-cares only about himself nothing or nobody else matters

• He is a convicted felon who shows no remorse-do to the fact he thinks he deserves ‘Absolute Immunity’

• He has both exhibited and portrayed the intellect, traits, and attributes of the pathological mindful thought of consciousness 

• The final straw and bone of contention is that he errs on the side of being woefully disinterested in public policy for the Civility of People.

• Thus he is solely focused on getting his MAGA followers to send him whatever money he can get out of them, as they foolishly send it to him whenever he is in a panic to selfishly help him get back on track

 SLAVE OWNERS WERE PAID REPARATIONS IN THE PAST ERA OF SLAVERY

Documented history: www.https://lnkd.in/gjFrQjQQ/

Article by: Tera W. Hunter, The New York Times 04/17/2019

Title: “When Slaveowners Got Reparations”

The Annuals of History records that Slaveholders who held enslaved people were provided $300 for Human Beings they ‘OWNED”, as compensation to ease their so-called suffering because Slavery was abolished. The court’s decision regarding the “Fearless Fund” to support and uplift Slaveholders serves as a stark reminder that this country’s leaders in the past era of slavery. They were more concerned about relief for the oppressor instead of the “Oppressed’ Human beings held as Slaves. Thus, the 40 acres and a mule were a mere fallacy and a figment of the Slave Owner’s Imagination of Folly.

On April 16, 1862, Abraham Lincoln signed a bill emancipating enslaved people in D.C., that supposedly ended the long struggle of slave ownership. However, to ease the pain and so-called suffering of the District of Columbia and Maryland. The Emancipation Act paid those loyal to the Union up to $300 FOR EVERY ENSLAVED PERSON FREED.

In a word Slave Owners GOT REPARATION. Enslaved Americans got nothing for their generations of stolen bodies, snatched children, and expropriated labor other than their mere release from ‘legal bondage’ Please Go To this Site to read the Complete details. www.https://lnkd.in/gjFrjQQ

 TEMPTATION IS LURKING: BEWARE AND BE READY

Know that while living in the earthly realm we are all subject to ‘Temptation’. No one is immune from the vicissitudes of being tempted on The Path Of The Journey. In the New Testament Bible, Apostle Paul warns those of us who think and believe themselves to be above temptation. Everyone, and everybody gets tempted.

However, in the genre of faithfulness, God always provides a way for those who are faithful to escape the dastardly perils of temptation. Allowing the chance where we don’t have to follow it down the path to sinfulness. The edits of faithfulness provide us with the connection to ways of understanding how to grasp it to be complicit with His Will and His Ways.

Therefore, it is very important to ‘Practice His Presence’ to keep Him in ‘front of mind consciousness’. This helps to recognize the culture and to know that the path is filled with moral deprivation and the pressure of temptation. In doing so, such efforts shall circumvent the seemly irresistible quest of temptation. Such foreknowledge serves to be the key quotient component of how to escape immunity from the sins of temptation.

As we continue within the earthly realm to navigate The Path Of The Journey-Be Ready for the encounters of Shame, Blame, Guilt, Regrets, and the entanglements of Conflicts and Challenges. In addition, be on the alert for the ‘Road Blocks’, which dotes on the disease of demons that stand in the way every day. You can be sure that such shall play a part in disturbing ‘Feelings and Emotions’, of, New Rich Inner Peace, Love, and Happiness.

However, know through it all that Mercy, Grace, Compassion, Empathy, and Most Definitely Forgiveness is the right path for the connection to true Liberation and Freedom. Amen...

 What Are The Odds that Trump is setting a trap for the DEMS By Asking SCOTUS To Give Him Total and Absolutely Immunity?

However, there is a possibility SCOTUS could rule against him. The question being pondered is, would that affect President Joe Biden if SCOTUS does so?

Yes, there is a possibility, and certainly, some truly 5th-dimensional thinking is abounded by the Trumpy ones, at least among the MAGA...group

However, unfortunately, Trump’s group otherwise Not So Brilliant Plan; overlooked a little-known Loop Hole. Such that it could have been used to shield him from felony charges, and personal, professional, and political attacks. Such would have taken away the threat of him serving time in the Big House

Actually, in a sense, it would have been wise and prudent for Trump to have had the right Mindful Thoughts Of Consciousness, and the wherewithal not to have overlooked this very safe LoopHole.

Well, I know by now that you are pondering the thought of what could have been this safe loophole. So, let me take a moment and a bit of a risk to go out on a limb to reveal this “get out of a possible jail-free Loop Hole”, without having a visit the from Sheriff’s department and/or the FBI Headquarters.

So, Let’s Go for It. This Loop Hole goes by the name of: “Not Committing Any Crime”. Such is the Truth and Just The Facts

Therefore, it is not a trap for the Dems or Joe Biden, not even Barrack Obama. Because of their behavior pattern while serving as POTUS of America. There has never been any evidence of either of them doing wrong as they always err on the side of “Not Committing Any Crime”

Unfortunately, before becoming POTUS of America Trump has mostly portrayed and exhibited a long history of behavioral leadership patterns, which delved into an enormity of ‘wrongdoings’. Certainly, such behavior is evidence of not having the “Mindful Thoughts of Consciousness to take the high road and do the right thing. You make your bed and sleep in it. #NUFFSED#
