Penn Jillette on the whether President Biden has met his expectations 

He has “lost the plot” because he thinks it is important that a president is not an election denying fascist?

The one thing I always respect about Penn is that he's the first one to tell you that he's not that smart. Which in turn I think actually makes him pretty damn smart, but yeah, certainly not the smartest guy on Earth. I just appreciate that he doesn't act like it all the time.

@@ryancalhoun2910The smartest people are aware of what they don't know. The ones who seem to think they know everything don't know enough.

@@howardmctroy3303 well said

@@ryancalhoun2910 "he's the first one to tell you that he's not that smart. Which in turn I think actually makes him pretty damn smart" Yes, that's the intended result/conclusion of the carnie scam/confidence game that he's running.

Like he said, libertarianism left him.

@@audible67 Not really. The opposition to the Covid jab was legitimate -- it wasn't nearly as safe as advertised, children should not have gotten it, and it didn't meet any of the standards necessary to be classified as a vaccine (whose definition was later altered beyond recognition just to accommodate the Covid jab). Penn's support for the elites and Biden in this area is pretty anti-libertarian. He left libertarianism at least as much as it left him.

​@@audible67some from the right like to say they're libertarian

Obama was a fine president. Joe. Biden is getting the work done. Trump was a disaster. The Republican party has lost the plot.

Agreed. They all just keep playing this good guy bad guy card, driving us closer to civil war [metaphorically and/or actually]. We need a candidate who is NOT actively trying to divide his audience.

Coolidge was the last reasonably good President. He mostly left us alone, and kept Congress off our backs.

They are all clowns for sure.

Yes, because not being Trump is why a lot of people voted for Biden. Apart from that I don’t think Biden and Penn has much in common. Penn like many other reasonable people, understands that you can’t be an election denying fascist.

Yes, a dead Biden or a dead dog is better than Trump. It’s really that simple. And that important. It’s like talking about who the best president would be while a killer asteroid is hurtling towards earth. Doesn’t matter. First and most importantly, avoid the asteroid. Trump is the assteroid. Or the hemorrhoid on the assteroid?

​@@laurencewhite4809 Like every single Democrat in 2016? Like most Democrats were in 2004? The illegal and dangerous Covid mandate, the treasonous and illegal open border policies, the weaponization of American institutions against pro-life activists and parents of students, illegally $1.2 billion in student debt, refusing to prosecute left-wing activists who perpetrated more than 100 terrorist acts against pro-life centers, giving attempted mass murderers in Antifa who tried to burn down a building filled with people probation... Joe Biden has crammed more fascism, division, and malevolence into three years of his first term than any president this side of Woodrow Wilson.

Why do people feel the need to do these weird meme templates instead of just saying what they think? To your point though, the guy had no expectations of Biden outside of not being Trump,..which unfortunately is just where a lot of people end up.

I believe the term is christofascism. Yep, that's what the right wing wants... Desperately. So much money to be made when the rubes live in fear.

Are you completely unaware that it is entirely leftists who are marching in support of Hamas, perpetrating violence against Jews, and engaging in violent protests (even chasing AOC out of a movie theater recently)? Or that leftists perpetrated over 100 terrorist acts against pro-life clinics in the summer of 2022 while the Merrick Garland looked the other way? Or that the Democrat Party is enforcing an ideology (DEI) that requires racial discrimination against whites and Asians? Or that that Joe Biden's open borders policies -- which he spent nearly three years lying about -- have caused an immense amount of unrest in sanctuary cities? Or "trans" protesters holding Riley Gaines hostage for over an hour and threatening violence against her if they were not paid off handsomely?

Is the kkk in the room with you right now? Because there are so few of them that they would certainly fit in one room.

I simply can't for the likes of people who believe in Hugo Chavez economics. The Biden administration is blaming businesses and greed for inflation. There are people pushing for rent control and a $26 minimum wage. And then there is the whole bribing recent college graduates by letting other people bear the burden of their college costs.... no thanks...

He’s literally said he wasn’t.

@@DaveTadros Literally? Good to know that. But I think, "He said he wasn't" would have been sufficient without the pretentious affectation of "literally" that is current among a certain generation.

​@@fredbloggs6080 It's a word in a RU-vid comment, not a dick, so quit taking it so hard

Don’t you think that in those 8 words he’s actually saying a lot though? I think it’s clear that he wasn’t voting FOR Biden, rather he was voting AGAINST Trump. Im not American, but from the outside, I can tell you that voting against trump seems like the only logical choice - regardless of your political alignments.

​@@dncndncndncn Yeah but that would require a voter base who cares about liberal democracy, which many Trump lovers have all but thrown away. PJ like me and many others never liked Biden, but he wasn't Trump. EZ

@@dncndncndncn So will he vote for Desantis or Joe Biden next time around?

@@bobbinsthethird He will probably continue voting third party, as long as the republican candidate is not an election denying fascist.

I don't think people even care that Biden is a lot like Trump. All they wanted is that he not actually be Trump.

this might surprise you but a considerable portion of the country doesn't really think Biden is doing a bad job and a considerable portion of people who think he's doing a bad job think that because he's too conservative

@danger.snakes It doesn't surprise me that 40% of the country doesn't know what's going on or lies to themselves for partisan reasons.

​@@danger.snakes The people who think Joe Biden is too conservative are those you see blocking freeways and airport entrances, harassing and threatening Jewish people, advocating the abolition of Israel and extermination of Jewish people, giving schools the power to "transition" kids without parental notification, advocating that violent criminals be released without bail, advocating open borders where anyone can enter the country at any time and automatically receive massive government entitlements, hold college guest speakers hostage and threaten violence against them if they're refused ransom, and promote racial discrimination against whites and Asians. Which admittedly, is an unfortunately substantial percentage of the left-wing in the Western world.

@@danger.snakes I posted a response but Google censored it.
