You need to specify what you think the “darndest things” are. I don’t think I found any of Biden’s statements in that article that qualify.

This is not a view unique to Biden. It has been the consensus view of our intelligence services for several years now. Are you not aware of this, or just disagree? And do you have some data or evidence to back up your claims?

Maybe if we were nicer to the white supremacists, they wouldn’t act like a bunch of Nazis.

A group of white supremacists tried to halt the peaceful transfer of the duly elected government of the United States of America, but you think they are no problem.

Maybe you don’t understand the word darndest.

You should expand on why you think North Korea is a bigger threat than domestic terrorism. If you’ve already said your piece then you can stop with the lame jokes.

They just aren’t as great of a problem to the United States as these organizations:

You’re mad Biden called them a problem.

That implies you think they are not a problem.

> “The Great Unifier” giving a wonderfully inspiring and motivating commencement address to some recent college graduates. I’m not exactly sure how discussing White supremacy as the most dangerous terrorist threat is an appropriate topic, or even accurate, (there are plenty of; Russian, Chinese, Iranian, North Korean hackers, and assorted real terrorist organizations with annouced intentions of destroying “the Great Satan” that are laughing at the absurdity of his statement) - but hey, let’s pretend everything is OK and Biden isn’t pandering to his audience (and “saying the darndest things”).

Your words  
“I’m not exactly sure how discussing White supremacy as the most dangerous terrorist threat is an appropriate topic, or even accurate”

The “or even accurate” part indicates your feelings that “White supremacists aren’t a problem” is a reasonable position for you. Compare that to your list of assorted “real terrorist organizations” which in comparison indicates you do not consider White supremacists as a real terrorist organization.

From this set of posts you are at best, at the very best, a white supremacist sympathizer.

Perhaps it’s darndest because terrorism requires actions in doing or threatening violence. So some people could just internally be white supremacists but never do anything about it? Kind of splitting hairs there, but in general I’d agree with Biden’s statement. I don’t recall the last time Iran overtook our Capitol in an attempted coup. (Before somebody says that MAGA people aren’t necessarily white supremacists, I will state that the Venn diagram is close to a total overlap. Not so much for typical Republicans.)

My interpretation is he feels commencement speeches should all be about puppies and unicorns and rainbows (ok, maybe not rainbows) and how dare he bring up the realities of life that these people will be facing.

Most famous commencement speech ever:

> Churchill’s famed “Iron Curtain” speech ushered in the Cold War and made the term a household phrase.
