All Things Biden: Is It Over Yet?

[Joe]

Nope, just pointing out the obvious - Biden enjoys gentle treatment from a media (comprised of 'friends of Maxwell') while Trump and the Republicans did not.

But call it trolling if it helps you feel better about it.

Well, since you're responding to my comment about sleep deprivation with off-topic nonsense, you're trolling.

Just pointing out the obvious.

And so the entire mainstream media (who report on presidential stuff), are "friends of Maxwell", which of course has the implication that they are all part of a massive liberal conspiracy, somehow linked to a dead pedophile...

No, but there are lots of folks on the list flying to her honey's island.

Several after his conviction, and subsequent sweetheart sentence.

They could all go on a list, to be watched for other connections.

Like Disney. Or those giant research grants.

Or you could just ignore them. Probably doesn't matter anyway. Look over there - Trump did a thing!

They side with the establishment, authoritarian government.

Fox News is the most watched network in the US.

You know, the received opinion is that in a given population, 50% of people will have IQ under 100.
When you remind me of such facts, I wonder if it's correct.

Network maybe, as it runs a lot of "news" hours. But MSNBC has higher evening ratings than Fox.

Welfare Queen now dead:
CNN
She is, of course, the infamous Welfare Queen.
That's how Ronald Reagan described her when he introduced the character during a presidential campaign rally nearly half a century ago. Reporters investigating Reagan's 1976 Welfare Queen story concluded that it wasn't quite true. Though never mentioning a name or race, Reagan had exaggerated the abuses of an actual Black woman in Chicago.
It didn't matter, though, if the story was more fiction than fact. The Welfare Queen embodied the GOP's belief that sending government aid to the poor would backfire because freeloaders -- hint, Black people -- will invariably splurge that money on steak and lobster.

The heart of Biden's "Build Back Better" agenda is three massive plans that would use huge sums of government money to help working families, including people of color. The American Rescue Plan, which was signed into law in March, includes direct cash payments to struggling families. Two other plans would rebuild the country's infrastructure and expand tax credits to help working families and make education more affordable.
What's fascinating is how Republicans have responded. It's not what they've said: that Biden is a "radical" and a "socialist" and his proposals are a "sloppy liberal wish list."

It's what they haven't said that's revealing. They haven't successfully deployed any Welfare-Queen-like stories about people of color mooching off pandemic aid to turn a critical mass of White voters against Biden's plans. If there have been such attacks, they haven't gained traction.

Except in the Netherlands, where 80% of the population are above average.

That can't be! It must be 100%, if not more!

For generations, Black farmers have struggled financially, and last year, they received little help from the Trump administration’s farm bailouts. On Friday, the U.S.D.A. said that it would begin making loan forgiveness payments in June to thousands of minority farmers as part of the relief program.

Farm subsidies are Socialism!

Farm subsidies are Socialism!

Only when its helps the blacks. When it helps white people, it's, you know, helping the forgotten man or something.

Looks like knucklehead uncle Joe is covering somebody's arse. Lame shit like this is why plenty of Democratic voters weren't thrilled with the Biden/Harris ticket.

'Biden's DOJ Moves to Block Release of Memo on Why Trump Was Not Prosecuted for Obstruction of Justice'

The Department of Justice under Attorney General Merrick Garland moved on Monday to block the release of a secret memo that then-AG William Barr reportedly relied up in deciding against prosecuting Donald Trump for obstruction of justice.

U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson ordered the memo made public following a Freedom of Information Act request from the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW).

The DOJ “notice of appeal” was filed by Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian Netter.
