I can imagine no other president in my lifetime failing to address the nation in a prime time speech during a crisis such as this. On the other hand, I cannot imagine another president whose words would be less welcome by so many of his fellow citizens.

(383 posts)If the orange shitgibbon gets millions and millions of free advertising from the media, so should Biden. He should use the opportunity to share vision and positivity. Have the media latch on and cover the democratic message ad inifinitum like they did with the nazi currently occupying the WH back in 2015 and 2016. Using a chaotic and tragic series of events to ones advantage should not be limited to republicons only - even if it makes me want to vomit.

(9,988 posts)He has no empathy, no sympathy, no wisdom, no knowledge, no understanding, no compassion, no courage, no integrity. He isn't even capable of faking any of those things. I'm amazed someone managed to persuade him to keep his damn mouth shut for this long.
