The Concern: President Biden calling supporters of former President Donald Trump “rubbish.”
President Biden continues to point out why the Democrats’ choice to oust him as their candidate was proper (“Joe Voices Dems’ Contempt,” Editorial, Oct. 31).
His newest fake pas was to overreact to a comic’s ill-advised joke about Puerto Rico being a “floating island of rubbish” by calling all of former President Donald Trump’s supporters “rubbish.”
In that one utterance, Biden not solely destroyed a Democratic speaking level, he additionally managed to alienate half of People on the identical time.
And, as if that was not unhealthy sufficient, he additionally destroyed the Harris marketing campaign’s declare of being “inclusive.”
That is only a affirmation of former President Barack Obama’s warning, “Don’t underestimate Joe’s means to f - - okay issues up.”

Each time I feel liberal politicians couldn’t be as unhealthy as I concern, they show me incorrect.
Whereas many Democrats view Republicans as “deplorable,” lots of Republicans contemplate Democrats as nascent Republicans who’ve but to determine that authorities ought to work for the folks, not the opposite method round.

Deplorables, gun toters and spiritual extremists.
Now, it’s “rubbish.”
These are the labels provided by Democrat management for tens of millions of People.
As an alternative of limiting criticism to the positions of opposition candidates, low-cost pictures are taken on the supporters.

Biden’s superior age has taken what’s left of his unremarkable mind.
I’ve little doubt, nevertheless, that he thinks Trump supporters are rubbish.
In any case, these are the individuals who assist a person unafraid to name out Biden’s historic incompetence, duplicity, hypocrisy and corruption.
Biden and his fellow Dems by no means afforded Donald Trump any deference and proceed to decrease his presidency as illegitimate.
Regardless of how Dems attempt to spin Biden’s newest gaffe, they’ve all given us loads of purpose to imagine he meant each phrase of it.

Right here we go: an previous idiot calling folks rubbish as a result of they don’t like his insurance policies.
I’m so glad that Biden is (nearly) gone.
We have now been a rudderless ship and a laughingstock to the world ever since he and Harris took over the White Home.
Good riddance.

The Concern: The Metropolis Council weighs requiring firms to present workers paid depart for sick pets.
So the Massive Apple’s Metropolis Council is contemplating whether or not firms ought to present sick time to workers whose pets are both sick or not too long ago deceased (“Offers you paws,” Oct. 26).
The proposed invoice would even cowl critters that aren’t formally designated as service animals.
So in case your goldfish had been to shuffle off this mortal coil, then sitting shiva for seven days would possibly simply be acceptable.
Folks used to say that nowhere topped California when it got here to dreaming up foolish legal guidelines and laws.
However some Metropolis Council members now appear hell bent on staying forward of the Golden State’s anti-business curve.

That is one other “nice concept” popping out of our a Metropolis Council: requiring firms to supply paid “pet sick depart” for workers.
What may presumably go incorrect?
That is what our officers ponder as the town circles the sewer of crime and corruption.
