In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Joe Biden’s 577 vacation days over four-year term tops modern presidents

Breaking Down How Much Time Biden Spent on Vacation While President – It's Not 40%

The rumor that Biden spent nearly half of his presidency on vacation came from an exaggerated and incorrect Republican National Committee analysis.

Snopes comprehensively analyzed the former president's public calendar, research from his administration and pool reports — detailed daily dispatches from the White House press corps tracking Biden's movements — and found that the RNC's claim was inaccurate. It is difficult to define what a "vacation" is for a president, given that a president is never away from duties. Therefore, Snopes determined how many days he was in a vacation setting.

Biden spent 117 or 118 full days of his 1,461-day presidency (Jan. 20, 2021 to Jan. 20, 2025) on vacation, or about 8% of his presidency. He also spent 66 days, about 4.5% of his presidency, partially in a vacation setting.

Qatar has been a U.S. ally since diplomatic relations were established on March 19, 1972, making it over 53 years of alliance. The relationship has strengthened significantly over the decades, particularly in defense and economic cooperation. Why wouldn't he stop?
Qatar also has close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, and is a central hub for terrorism financing. I have no problem with Trump stopping in Qatar due to its role as a U.S. ally in negotiating with terrorists and its hosting of a U.S. air base, but like I said, many who are fine with Trump making an unscheduled stop and allowing the leaders of Qatar to board Air Force One would have criticized President Obama for doing the same because of Qatar’s links to Islamists and terrorists.

If you do not have a problem with the stop, what are you wining and complaining about this time?

snopes - is hardly the bastion of truth.

President Joe Biden's daily schedule has consistently ended well before 10 p.m. throughout his presidency. According to multiple reports:

  • Most of Biden’s public events and meetings have taken place between 10 or 11 a.m. and 4 or 5 p.m., with very few exceptions. [dailymail.co.uk]
  • Evening events are rare, and aides have acknowledged that Biden tends to get fatigued and is more prone to missteps outside of this window. After the June 2024 debate, Biden reportedly told Democratic governors he would stop scheduling events past 8 p.m.. [dailymail.co.uk]
  • He typically returns to his residence by 7 p.m., and his day usually starts around 9 a.m.. [people.com]
  • Reports describe him as a “five- or five-and-a-half-day-a-week” president, with weekends and evenings generally kept free of public appearances. [nationalreview.com]
So, it's safe to say that Biden’s schedule almost always ends before 10 p.m., with very few exceptions, especially in the later years of his presidency.

I'm not whining and complaining about anything; all I'm saying is if this had occurred during the Obama administration, many on the right would have been furious, which is true.

This is true for every president.


Yeah, instead in his first term, he just let a bunch of foreign dignitaries stay at his DC hotel to curry favor and in his second term, is using his likeness to sell merch and cryptoscamps.
Not to mention, soliciting expensive gifts and contributions.

'Dump Trump': Malaysia ERUPTS Against U.S. President; Revolt Rocks Kuala Lumpur Amid ASEAN Meet

Hundreds of protesters flooded the streets of Kuala Lumpur during U.S. President Donald Trump’s arrival for the ASEAN Summit. Chanting “Trump, you’re not welcome!” and “Free Palestine!.” Demonstrators denounced Trump’s stance on Gaza, accusing him of enabling “genocide.” At Merdeka (Independence) Square, protesters waved Palestinian flags, held placards reading “Dump Trump”, and even painted anti-Trump graffiti on city walls.


'Trump War Criminal, Kick Him Out': Seoul Explodes In Support Of Palestine Before APEC Summit

Hundreds of pro-Palestine demonstrators marched through Seoul on Sunday, protesting U.S. President Donald Trump’s upcoming visit for the APEC summit. Protesters accused Trump of being “complicit” in the ongoing genocide in Gaza, while also criticizing Western governments, including Germany and France, for supporting the conflict. Marchers carried Palestinian flags, banged drums, and held signs reading “Release Palestinian detainees” while chanting “Trump not welcome here.” Demonstrators warned against international travel for leaders involved in alleged war crimes and called for global solidarity with oppressed peoples. The protest highlighted widespread anger over U.S. and allied involvement in Gaza.

Hundreds of protestors are only a very small percentage of people compared to those in their nations who like President Trump, the peacemaker.

I understand you like him. But I want to hear both sides as do others.

I was specifically talking about Trump making an unexpected stop in a country that harbors terrorists and allowing the leaders of that country to board Air Force One. Had President Obama done this, the outrage from many on the right would have been off the charts.
If it was Obama, he would probably dump a couple pallets of cash.

I understand you do not - it doesn't negate the warm welcome the leaders of the country had for him.

Diplomats giving a warm welcome to a leader who’s transparently vulnerable to flattery? Shocking.

I don’t dislike him. I don’t trust his leadership.

Very similar. I don’t personally like him, but I applaud and trust his leadership.
