Well, folks yesterday of course saw the return of Dark Brandon, president Joe Biden's, uh,
no nonsense alter ego will call him .
He showed up on Twitter.
President Biden tweeted out a little chart because as we all know right now we have the
debt ceiling negotiations.
The house controlled by Republicans has put forward legislation that calls for cuts for
near everything that this country definitely doesn't need to cut, including veterans benefits.
And even as Republicans who want to cut veterans benefits are out there saying We're not gonna
cut veterans benefits.
President Biden decided to let the American public know what was really happening.
So he puts out a tweet with this little chart, and he says this, I hear house Republicans
out on TV saying they would never vote to cut veterans benefits in case there's any
confusion.
I made a little chart that could help them out.
And of course there's the chart.
Did you vote for this or did you not?
Oh, you didn't.
Congratulations, you didn't vote to cut veterans benefits if you did, you voted to cut veterans
benefits here in the United States.
It really is that simple.
And it's that kind of simple explanation that the American public needs.
Honestly, it truly would've been great if he would've gone out there and done this in
a press conference as well.
You know, you could take your same chart, blow it up, poster size and just sit there
and be like, look, I got a big chart.
I got my little chart over here on Twitter, and I got my big chart right here.
And you can clearly see if you didn't do this, then you didn't vote to cut veterans benefits.
If you did, then you did.
So that's what the American public needs to see.
You know, I, I don't often heap praise on President Biden, but he deserves a lot of
credit for this, even though, again, I'm willing to bet he didn't make the chart, probably
didn't write the tweet, but it's a good message coming from the president of the United States
hitting back at the opposition party.
That's the important thing.
Every now and then Biden can come out with some pretty good zingers.
You know, back in the day when he was a little bit younger, sure he, he was a fighter.
He was absolutely not afraid to get on the mat with those Republicans and fight against
them with words, with legislation, with whatever.
And yeah, he's softened a little bit as he is gotten older, as most people do.
But every now and then you him off just enough and he can get you, like, he can come out
with those one-liners.
He's got the zingers and he will hit you for it.
And honestly, with the way American politics is today, that may be the smartest approach.
That may be the simplest message that he can put out there.
He doesn't need to go out and give a 30 minute speech about Republicans cutting veterans
benefits.
He can do it
In a two sentence tweet.
He can do it with a very simple printout, and that's what the American public needs.
Short, quick, digestible, something they can understand something that's not complicated.
He didn't have to get into the mechanics of the legislation.
Just said, did you do this?
Yes, great.
Then you voted to cut veterans benefits and you're a liar.
And the public needs to know that you're a liar.
That's the president we need to see more of.
We need a fighter.
We need somebody out there calling out these Republicans.
I'm glad he did it yesterday.
I hope he continues to do it every day from now until
the 2024.
