hmm, this idea that a president shouldn't publicly address us proles might be......... problematic

They really are basically throwing every previous president under the bus in order to find reasons for why everything is suddenly so awesome. Before they wasted their precious Working time giving press conferences but Biden is so busy he simply can't.

Oh wow, imagine if a reporter asked the president a question and he didn't answer, or lied or something. They'd follow up, and their colleagues would hahahahaha no wait, absolutely jack poo poo would happen

Yeah, it's weird. Not like they wouldn't cover for Biden if he went off the rails during a press conference. Are his handlers that worried that he can't go like 30 minutes without audibly making GBS threads himself or something?

I think a good trolling take considering these recent over the top articles is to muse sadly that it's too bad Biden had to drop out of the 2008 primary for some reason I can't remember and didn't become President instead of Obama since he has been proven to be more competent.

poe's law is in full force on that one because the there's a chunk of libs (who for some strange reason are also anti-BlackLivesMatters) are basically already saying that, and in fact Biden made Obama do all the good things like legalizing gay marriage.

How close are we to Biden being crowned "first black president"

"third black president" would probably be more insulting, since it acknowledges Clinton's existence

Not wanting to vote for a rapist and choosing not to vote for them is 100% a personal choice and I have no problem with that.

What I do have a problem with is when people say they don't vote for him because he's a rapist and "my morals are better than that," or something along those lines, especially when they've willingly had a bunch of kids. Making the moral judgment that you are better than those who picked the lesser of two evils (I'm better than you rhetoric) while doing something that in the larger scheme of things is ethically far more questionable (having kids as a choice in the current environment versus adopting) than voting for someone that you thought would (and has) saved tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of lives, even if they've done acts of evil in the past.


And this is not to say I look at any parent and think, "you're bad". I don't. But if we're getting into the "I'm better than," rhetoric, that's an easy behavior to point out is inherently not great giving the current crisis on society.

Yeah the recent converts like Jennifer Rubin, Frum, and Ana Navarro that suddenly feel very at home very obviously believe it.

lol the child checks won't come until summer, on a slow meek monthly rollout, awesome stuff this bill is

plus it sounds ("on top of your normal checks") like it's going to be up to the employer to issue it, lol.

like, instead of adjusting withholding to provide an extra $300 in your paycheck each month (or $75/week or $150/2x monthly or w/e), they want you to get an actual physical check from uncle sam joe?

I guess with most employees having direct deposit it's nbd but they're gonna find some way to gently caress this up with 1099 workers or otherwise, I guarantee.

It's also gonna be a nightmare for divorced parents who alternate taking dependents as deductions by the year.
