Biden insults the troops. Again.

| May 21, 2021

President Biden gave a commencement speech yesterday to the Coast Guard’s newest officers at their Academy graduation. With echoes of his speech to deployed troops when he was Vice President, when he called them “stupid bastards” and “dull”, he again insults the troops as “dull” when they didn’t laugh at his incoherent rambling “jokes(?)”.

He said, “I can only assume that you will enjoy educating your family about how the Coast Guard is quote, ‘the hard nucleus around [which] the Navy forms in times of war.” Since nobody knows what the hell he’s talking about, nobody laughed. Naturally, when confronted with an audience that doesn’t swoon over his every word, he insults them. “You are a — you are a really dull class. I mean, come on, man, is the sun getting to you? I would think you would have an opportunity when I say that about the Navy to clap.”

No idea why he expects the COAST GUARD to clap after he references the NAVY. He called (some might take it as an order) for the group to clap at least two other times. According to the New York Post;

“You can clap, come on, man,” Biden said when he joked about cadets spending “too much time at the Slice,” a local pizza parlor.

He again encouraged the crowd to clap when he praised the academy’s Bravo Company for winning a football game against a rival set of cadets.

“Congratulations the Bravo Company, by the way, on your victory. You can clap. It’s okay. Even if you’re lost, you gotta clap,” Biden said.

Biden later said he would “absolve” the graduates of any misdeeds from their time at the school.

The president told the cadets that as a University of Delaware student in the 1960s, he committed “minor infractions like using a fire extinguisher to hose down an RA.”

In regards to Biden’s original comment, the Coast Guard under the Department of the Navy during a time of war. When they are brought under the Navy, the Coast Guard continues to act as a supplemental or auxiliary to the Navy. Not really the “hard nucleus” of the much larger, pre-existing service.

***Update***

It’s been noted before that the “hard nucleus” line is cribbed right from President Reagan, who told it as a joke. Video of the remarks, properly delivered, are below in the comments.

Shocker that Biden plagiarizes. Again.

Ya still gotta wonder who hand picked this stumbling, mumbling, grifting career politician to become the leader of the “free world”.

To quote that oft used phrase from Thunderstixx; “WE’RE DOOOOOOMED” “DOOOOMED I TELL YOU!” “DOOOOOOMMMEED”!

The Chinese Communist know that they have plenty of cannon fodder in their military. I wonder if they realize that Communist China is nearly surrounded by peoples that don’t like or trust the Communist Chinese. Spapos showing up to say the Chinese aren’t Communist in 5.4.3…

Ahm…the voters? 🤷🏻‍♂️

USMC Steve

No, the voters did not. Resident Biden is there courtesy of the American Nazi party, AKA the social democrats of America. Biden lost the real election, but won the made up one that happened around 0200, in those socialist states that felt that whatever they wanted was more important than the legal proceedings of an actual election.

He’s been directed by his handler to say that.

Ya still gotta wonder who hand picked this stumbling, mumbling, grifting career politician to become the leader of the “free world”.

In the choice between meandering incompetence and narcissistic malfeasance, I’ll gladly choose the former every damn time.

Ret_25X

that is why you vote for dipshits? You believe that a successful but mean president is “worse” than an incompetent but mean president.

that explains a lot. I can’t wait to get your take on why Lincoln’s second inaugural was narcissistic or how Wilson was the best president ever.

LC

I think you and I must define words like ‘successful’ and ‘mean’ very differently, among countless other things.

MCPO USN

I get it now.

LC=Logically Comprised.

You don’t like anyone who tells you a hard truth. You prefer a sweet lie.

LC

You can’t see how someone can view President Trump’s term as largely unsuccessful at improving America? And that someone doesn’t see Biden as ‘mean’?

KoB wondered how anyone could vote for Biden; I said because despite the qualities he lacks, I found him far preferable to someone whom I and many others have regarded as a narcissistic, whiny, unimpressive con man.

You can disagree with that assessment, and seemingly do, but that’s why I and many others voted for Biden. Not because he’s amazing, but because he was the better option.

And at the end of the day, no, disagreeing with what someone else views as a hard truth doesn’t make me somehow dislike them. You like Trump, and I don’t. That doesn’t make me dislike you, MCPO.

rgr769

Don’t hold your breath. Progs believe what they believe because it is what they want to believe, irrespective of any inconvenient facts. Prog D-rats prefer career grifting corruptocrats, to leaders who deliver on campaign promises and actually improve the lives of our legitimate citizens. You might as well try to convince the commie cuttlefish that communism aka socialism/Marxism results in misery, totalitarianism and death everywhere ever practiced.

RetiredDevilDoc8404

You don’t like Dementia Joe’s predecessor because he tells it like it is – he was the doctor who tells you “Look, LC you’re fat, stupid, you drink too much, eat crap and smoke too much. If you don’t knock it off you’re gonna be dead in 6 months.” Dementia Joe rambles on about medical school pranks, refills your scripts and sends you on your way. You might not have liked what the first one said or how he said it, but he was right and was trying to help you. The other dimwit is wasting your time, taking your money, but not doing a damn thing to help you.

USMC Steve

Good for you then LC. Why have a demonstrably effective and productive president who carried out the will of the people and improved their lives, when you can have a senile piece of socialist shit who has to have cues fed to him through an earwig? You fucking idiots who voted against Trump because you didn’t like him, are such mental midgets. It AINT A PERSONALITY CONTEST. You remember this when resident Biden fucks you over on a regular basis. But you will have your delusions to keep you warm.

The Other Whitey

The text printed above fails to do justice to Rapey Joe’s incoherence. Nor does it mention that he was ripping off something Ronald Reagan said in a speech to the Coast Guard Academy, only Ronaldus Maximus enunciated it clearly and with a good comic delivery, while the Xiden just sounded (as usual) like he was having a stroke.

SFC D

Joe plagiarized Reagan? Say it ain’t so, Joe!

MustangCryppie

Heh.

It wasn’t just that he plagiarized it he also flubbed it. I know it is shocking that Biden flubbed a plagiarized line but there it is.

Also the White House then fixed the line for him in the transcript and added (laughter) to the speech were none actually existed.

“Well, Cadet Tidd, there’s a seat on Air Force One if you have to get home. (Laughter.) It may be tough. I can only assume that you will enjoy educating your family about how the Coast Guard is, quote, “The hard nucleus around the Navy forms in times of war.” (Laughter.)”

It’s only lying when the Orange Man does it.

So far as being insulted, it is the Coast Guard, C’mon man, they are used to being the butt of the jokes of all the other services. Besides which Biden served in the agency that was the precursor to the Coast Guard.

Joe Biden served as a rescue Swimmer and life saver in the Revolutionary War in the home militia and where in the Battle of Wilmington he squared off against Admiral Esther “Cornpop” Williams. He kicked them out of Wilmington thus seizing it for the Colonies and denying the British it’s use.

This was all verified by the NAACP, a private independent agency who shared the historical documents at the battlefield dedication back 2017 and thus is beyond contestation.

rgr769

Don’t forget to mention that the NAACP endorsed Gropey Joe every time he ran for election or re-election. Anyway, that is what Joe has repeatedly said, even though the NAACP has never endorsed any candidate cuz it would violate its tax-exempt status.

*by my own hand because I kinda like this place and we’re seeing an unprecedented technocracy/government (read:fascist) push to censor spicy rhetoric, see above.

Did I ever tell you guys about when my dear Pa took this stupid bastard fishing in Colorado?? He was too stupid to even put a worm on his hook, my Pa had to bait his hook and cast it out for him??
He was just too stupid to do it on his own!!!

Here’s a question WW, why didn’t your Pa push him into the water??

Veritas Omnia Vincit

FWIW that line was delivered correctly in 2008 by Dick Cheney, and to much laughter and applause…

The current plagiarizer in chief hasn’t had an original thought in his life, he failed classes for not noting correctly components of his paperwork that were word for word taken from others…he stole Neil Kinnock’s speech, he’s a sack of shit…

Gee whiz, Biden being a complete and total Idiot, WHAT A SURPRISE, not!

Commissar

Now you care about this kind of stuff again?

Biden has a terrible sense of humor and insults audiences for not getting his dumb and often out of touch jokes pretty regularly.

It was an unfunny insulting joke that implicitly made fun of the Coast Guard. And then when nobody laughed he insulted them as dull.

It was stupid. I cringe whenever he does this kind of stupid crap.

However, no President has been more insulting to troops than Trump. Trump has a sense of humor. But his insults were not jokes. They came from his true feelings about people who he thinks were “foolish” enough to serve, or get captured, or die or be wounded.

Yet, you didn’t care about that.

It is almost as though there is a transparently and intentional partisan spin on things posted here.

At least you all are no longer trying to pretend that this is not just a partisan propaganda blog.

And yet *crickets*.

Fun fact: Ted Levine (the guy who played Jame “Buffalo Bill” Gumb in _Silence of the Lambs_ ) played Captain Leland Stottlemeyer on _Monk_ . It takes all the fun out of that show once you realize it. I think it’s also the only role where he doesn’t have that impressive cookie-duster mustache.

gitarcarver

Commisar,

As I remember, Trump comments were directed at McCain and only McCain.

Someone got to Trump and explained that his statement was wrong because after that, he never said anything similar and expressed great respect for those who served.

People make mistakes. People learn. You blast Trump for his mistake and yet say you only “cringe” when Biden makes a mistake like this and has made more in the past.

It is almost as if there is a transparently and intentional partisan spin in your comment.

gitarcarver,
I’ve been cringing over Biden for 20 years.
With anger.
Victim blaming and shaming the innocent… with LIES.

I’m surprised he didn’t ask the Coast Guard grads
“What’s wrong with you guys? Did you drink your lunch?”

rgr769

When Trump said the McCain comment, he was responding to a question about McCain’s criticism of him as a candidate. It was an unartful comment, but he was fighting back against McCain’s verbal attacks on him. Most of us love the fact we finally had a Republican candidate who fights back instead of just taking it.

Ret_25X

Let me spell it out for you romper room style to bring it down to your low intellectual and moral level.

1. Trump was blunt, but correct.
2. Biden is narcissistic and incorrect.

On everything. All of the time.

Just like you.

I guess that is why you sniff his skid marks.

None of us worshipped Trump but appreciated his candor and competence.

You hate both because you have neither.

Your life as a miserable cretin of Mao must be excruciatingly painful. I pity you.

You are still obsessed with that offhand campaign remark. As Sparks says, “Go fuck yourself, Commissar.” No one here gives a shit about your brainless views on anything. Trump did more for the military than 0bama and the last three D-rat presidents combined.

I think the interesting thing about this is the media coverage. While for the most part it is lacking, what I have seen is similar to the coverage given by the cited NY Post article which “quotes” Biden as saying:

“I can only assume that you will enjoy educating your family about how the Coast Guard is quote, ‘the hard nucleus around [which] the Navy forms in times of war,’” Biden said, to crickets, at the outdoor event in New London, Conn.

“Which” was not included in Biden’s comments and that is why the comment was not laughed at and viewed as nonsensical.

If Trump or Bush had made the same mistake, the press would all over this and without giving either cover.

Ret_25X

agree…the real sin here is that Biden does not really intend to insult people, he is just an insulting boob by nature.

He has spent almost 50 years being stupid and gaffe prone, insulting, racist, and wrong on everything.

His support is based on the fact that he appears to be willing to give the work challenged majority of residents “free shit”.

The wailing and gnashing of teeth will be amazing when they all find out they were lied to. Even then, his idiot base won’t be able to comprehend it.

Jack off Joe has not changed–he has always been an incompetent boob.

rgr769

Gropey is especially skilled at impromptu insults and verbal attacks on ordinary citizens he encounters that incur his wrath. Remember the “dog-faced pony soldier” and the factory worker he invited to go outside to fist fight cuz he didn’t like the worker’s comment to him.

The use of brackets, [], is not uncommon.

“Normally, a quotation must be presented exactly as it was spoken or written. The square bracket allows the writer to fix mistakes, add explanatory information, change a quote to fit in a sentence, or add emphasis to a word through bold or italics.”

https://grammar.yourdictionary.com/punctuation/how-to-use-brackets-in-grammar.html

gitarcarver

timactual,

I am fairly sure that I never did not say that brackets were uncommon.

The point was that the NY Post changed the quote and inserted [which] and that left people wondering “what did Biden do wrong?”

Without the word “which,” the statement by Biden is nonsensical. He not only did not catch his own mistake, he blamed others for not understanding what he MEANT to say rather than what he DID say.

All the while, the media covers for him.

I have always been one that gives people the benefit of the doubt when it comes to extemporaneous comments. We all get a little tongue tied from time to time. Mistakes are going to happen.

Yet this was a prepared speech. Biden was reading the speech. He doesn’t get a pass for messing his own speech up and then blaming the people who couldn’t understand his gibberish.

rgr769

Dementia Joe has demonstrated numerous times that teleprompter reading is somewhat challenging for him.

Which is why I presented that quote from my cited source. There is more in the same vein at the link. And I am fairly sure I never said that you said brackets were uncommon.

In other news, Plugs is presiding over colonel Ralph Puckett’s MoH ceremony. Can’t screw that up can he? Never underestimate Joey’s ability to F*** things up.

How about SSG Alwyne Cash? Joe can’t be bothered to do that?

Ralph Puckett deserves much better than having to receive his award from this sorry excuse for a human being.

This all could have been avoided if those working behind the scene by propping up and controlling Joe (he puts the Dem in Dementia!) Biden had only done this one neat trick:

Put a big teleprompter BEHIND Joe to let those in the audience trying to make sense of his mumbling as he tries to make sense of his own teleprompter. Flash messages to the audience such as:

LAUGH! CLAP! NOD IN AGREEMENT! BOO WE’RE DONE HERE!

They could put the teleprompter on a green screen so those few watching at home wouldn’t know it was scripted and filmed in a studio with a compliant audience of supporting lobbyists for broadcast.

Skyjumper

Let’s see….

Joe admitted to plagiarism in law school.

Admitted to exaggerating his academic record while speaking angrily to a voter in New Hampshire.

Accused by Mike Pence during the vice-presidential debate of plagiarizing Trump’s corona virus response plan.

In 1987 he plagiarized from a British Labour Party politician while making closing remarks at a debate. He then dropped out of his running residential campaign after he was busted.

He gave multiple speeches lifting language from politicians like Robert F. Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey.

At Joe’s 2020 acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention he plagiarized Jack Layton, the leader of Canada’s left-wing New Democratic Party.

Nah, nothing to see here…move along citizen.

One more thing I found:
In Jill Biden’s 2019 book, “Where the Light Enters,” she wrote “For his entire political life,” she wrote, “Joe had been known for his integrity.”

LMFAO

MCPO USN

She actually wrote that, knowing that she was having an affair with Joe while she was married and before his wife died. Jill Biden is as big a POS as Joe.

rgr769

She had to know that “The Big Guy” always gets at least 10% of every family business deal. She has also been a percipient witness to most of his lies over the past 40 years.

Well, she may be a shitbag, but at least she understands that you have to play out the hand. She’s going to play this one out to the bitter end.

The speech that the Supreme Ruler (biden/obama) tried to give was the same speech that Pres Ronald Reagan gave to the Coast Guard back in 1988. Copycat.

timactual

“Shocker that Biden plagiarizes. Again.”

Hey, it’s a good line. I’ve been known to steal a line or two myself. Of course my delivery was better.

And he didn’t actually plagiarize that line. He said “The Coast Guard is quote…..” Just like Reagan did.

Well, since our friends on the left made it a point to mention President Trump’s deferments for bone spurs, would it not be fair to point out President Biden’s multiple deferments for asthma after he was a “football star” in high school? I mean, hey, the last Democrat President that served was Jimmy Carter.

A Proud Infidel®™

NOT JUST THAT, but despite his claims of having Asthma that kept him from joining the US Military, Joe Biden was also a Lifeguard during a few summers.
