To be fair, the context of that second panel was Biden re-appointing him.

Doesn't sound like that, it sounds like he meant originally. Why are people sticking up for him? He should defend himself.

[–] lunarul@lemmy.world 0 points 4 hours ago

I'm not defending him, but all the articles saying he forgot he's the one who appointed him and only giving that quote are disingenuous. The full quote is: “He’s a terrible Fed chair. I was surprised he was appointed. I was surprised, frankly, that Biden put him in and extended him. But they did.” It still doesn't make sense anyway.

Because there are plenty of real life or death issues Trump is squarely on the wrong side of and can and should be attacked on.

Deconstructing and attacking every bit of verbal diarrhea that dribbles out of his fat fucking mouth is a waste of time and accomplishes nothing.

I completely and wholeheartedly disagree.
Whatever he does wrong -which is basically everything-, whether it is big or small, should be attacked and questioned whenever and wherever possible.
He's fond of using the word witch-hunt and he should be hunted down like the 'witches' of times past.

If that was the last president or Obama making a similar mistake the media would be yelling from the rooftops about being fit to lead but because it's Fatboy Tangerine it's ok. NO, fuck that bullshit. Don't let him get away with anything. No matter how little.

The reason he gets away with the big shit he pulls is because he has never had consequences for the small stuff. He should never be forgiven nor let off, not one little bit. Letting him off this goof just because he's a convicted rapist is not the way to go about things, especially when it's dementia ridden narcissists like him.

What should happen is pulling him up on everything and hounding him about everything until his decrepit excuse for a heart explodes.

Not sure if I need to learn to write more clearly, or you need to learn to read.

no, I think we are on the same page even if we disagree

You say criticising the smaller stuff is a waste of time... I think that is just an excuse to wait for the bigger stuff but most just keep moving that goal post until it's too late for criticism to have any effect

Why would it be fair to be totally clueless as to why someone reappointed the person you appointed in the first place?
