    Quid MIA
    This according to CNN :

    Quote:

    A CNN analysis of Biden’s public schedule indicates the President has spent a significant amount of time away from the White House, particularly on weekends, since his January inauguration. Including this weekend’s trip to Delaware, Biden has taken 35 personal trips and spent all or part of 108 of his first 276 days in office at one of his Delaware homes or at Camp David in Maryland. That includes partial days, like Friday — when he spent the day at the White House and departed in the evening.

    Sixty-nine of those 108 days away from Washington were spent at his home in Wilmington, spread over 23 visits; seven days at his Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, beach house over two visits; and 32 days at Camp David over 10 visits. …
    While most presidents have prioritized taking time away from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, this is the most time a president has spent away from the White House on personal travel at this point in the presidency in recent history


    Joe Biden escapes his White House 'gilded cage' at a faster pace than Trump - CNNPolitics

    All things considered, if he would just spend ALL of his time away from the WH, we would be better off.

    Is there a point here?

    The descriptor "hard-working" would not be appropriate for Biden. "Hard-working Joe Biden spent another grueling day at the White House," just doesn't sound right somehow.

    Trump spent his days there watching tv and eating fast food.

    We had record low unemployment. Perhaps all presidents should watch tv and eat fast food. Even at that, it's sad to see you make such a silly claim, especially considering that one point in the article was that Trump spent more time working than your guy does.

    If you would read the article, you would see the evidence.

    " this is the most time a president has spent away from the White House on personal travel at this point in the presidency in recent history"

    I try not to ask people to believe me or take my word for it. I just ask them to honestly follow the evidence.

    What is the evidence for a talking snake?

    The Bible. I would never ask someone to believe the serpent spoke just because I believe it. I just point them to the Bible. They can accept it or, like you, they can reject it. But it's like I've said several times. I believe in the resurrection, so believing the serpent spoke is a great deal less supernatural.

    If you want to continue this, then start a new thread. I don't want to hijack Tom's topic.

    the question I guess is did he spend more time working when he was hiding in the basement as a candidate then he does now as Potus ?

    Since I am citing Quid apologists then it probably it is safe to assume that they are concerned enough about it to point it out

    I noticed that. I guess it just goes to show that even the CNNs of the world feel sometimes compelled to report honest news.

    Biden does have one major accomplishment, and a very difficult one at that. He has made me long for the good ole days of Donald J. Trump.

    A story of a talking snake in the Bible – or any book – is not evidence of talking snakes. Fairy tales, allegories, and myths are not reality. They are products of the imagination.


    Comparing talking snakes to the resurrection is not evidence. In fact, it is not remotely connected to evidence.


    For someone who insists on evidence for what others contend, you offer none of your own when asked.

    Don't worry about hijacking this thread. There's no need to continue it since you haven't offered any evidence.

    As I said, I believe the Bible and you don't. Pretty simple conclusion.

    The only comparison made was to point out that raising a man from the dead would be infinitely more difficult than having the serpent speak. So since I believe in the resurrection, then believing that the serpent spoke is easy.

    But as I said, I don't want to hijack Tom's thread. Start a new one if you want to continue this. I'll be eager and happy to discuss it with you, but not here.

    You asked to honestly follow the evidence. You have offered no evidence, only your belief which, as I have stated, is not evidence.

    To repeat, your belief is not evidence. You asked for evidence. You have not provided any.

    Then stop repeating your belief instead of evidence that you asked for.
