was that wrong?

Quote:
Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) called President Biden an "inept, geriatric despot" in a speech on the House floor Wednesday while criticizing the U.S. deployment of 3,000 troops to aid Eastern European allies as tensions heat up between Russia and Ukraine.

"Madam Speaker, the sons and daughters of America are not foot soldiers for your party's inept, geriatric despot. They are not expendable pawns to be dispatched at the whims of an idiot, tossed carelessly around the world to Godforsaken caves and bloody sandboxes. They are Americans, worthy of honor and dignity. The only salute from them Joe Biden deserves involves one finger," said the 26-year-old first-term lawmaker.

Geriatric? Fair enough.
Despot? Hardly.

I noticed he also called him an idiot, which is much worse than the other two slurs.

inept, geriatric despot...

I like it. Very creative and appealing term for Poopy Pants. I appreciate his creative use of the English language. He was able to sum Biden up in total with only three words.

Cawthorn has a big mouth and speaks like the child that he is.

I'm as conservative as anyone, but that doesn't give people a pass to be disrespectful. Its a bad look.

Biden, 79, has faced questions about his age since beginning his campaign for president. Asked in September 2019 about "concerns" regarding his age and health, Biden responded to a reporter: "What the hell concerns? You wanna wrestle?"
C'mon, man!

It's still not as bad as when Biden called Trump "Hitler" and "a clown", during the debate, right to the sitting president of the United States, on TV broadcast all over the world. And Biden still got elected? Well he certainly set an example.

The guy that said that is an idiot if he truly believes it. It is clear that military personnel are seen as "expendable pawns to be dispatched at the whims of an idiot, tossed carelessly around the world to Godforsaken caves and bloody sandboxes"

What evidence to the contrary do we have in the past 50 years? I don't like it, most don't like it, but there is no way you look at our history post WW2 and think that the leaders of this country of BOTH parties and Elites that cash in on war think anything other than "expendable workforce".

Our economy get bad enough, we will think of a reason to start another war.

I think the "geriatric despot" bit was also directed at "Madam Speaker". I wonder if she understood that.
