Interesting story, looks like 'only the best people' didn't stop with the new administration.

"I’ve adopted the attitude of the great negro at the time, pitcher of the Negro leagues, who went on to become a great pitcher in the pros — in Major League Baseball — after Jackie Robinson. His name was Satchel Paige,"

Typical Biden gaffe or typical Democrat being racist?

I would have trashed Trump for it.

You would have defended his slip of the tongue and called me a snowflake.

To be fair, I wouldn't have called you a snowflake. I don't use that term. But, you are more than not right, I would have probably wrote it off as a gaffe.

• Nearly half of those surveyed, 46%, say Biden has done a worse job as president than they expected, including 16% of those who voted for him. Independents, by 7-1 (44%-6%), say he's done worse, not better, than they expected.
• Nearly two-thirds of Americans, 64%, say they don't want Biden to run for a second term in 2024. That includes 28% of Democrats. Opposition to Trump running for another term in 2024 stands at 58%, including 24% of Republicans.
• Vice President Kamala Harris' approval rating is 28% – even worse than Biden's. The poll shows that 51% disapprove of the job she's doing. One in 5, 21%, are undecided.
• Americans overwhelmingly support the infrastructure bill Biden is about to sign, but they are split on the more expensive and further-reaching "Build Back Better" act being debated in Congress. Only 1 in 4 say the bill's provisions would help them and their families.

Even Dems dislike Harris. That is hilarious. I would imagine Hilliary would poll better and this clown Harris has not even done anything. Nevermind, I just answered my own question.

I don't think you're gonna find many people to argue with you. I've said it before - I believe most of Biden's votes were against Trump, not for him. I never wanted him (I've expressed my thoughts on these old arse people in office to you before), and he's exactly as boring as I expected.

This country needs more than two "viable" candidates. I think we both commented on it in another thread, but the people who can "expand the pool", so to speak, are the ones that would likely lose their jobs over it.

"Only 1 in 4 say the bill's provisions would help them and their families."
I'd push back a little on this though - no one even knows what the hell is going to make it in at this point

So Fox “News” is using a deceptively edited clip of Biden’s speech, which eliminates the context that makes it clear it was a slip of the tongue.

 

[Farb]

Does that happen often with the media/news outlets?

 

[samiam5211]

Does that happen often with the media/news outlets?

Yes, and they are rightfully trashed for it.

Do you have a point for asking the question?

 

[MT15]

Does that happen often with the media/news outlets?

More often with some than others. Much more often.

Gaffe. MIxed up the Negro League (which is the correct name, and had some Latin Americans in it too). Probably meant to say, Great Negro League Pitcher... which is why the , pitcher of the..., comes off akward.

I have a hard time seeing the term as racist, when used properly, and in historical context, which it was.

I agree. It just struck me because if this was a republican or Trump, the coverage would have been very very different. We would still be discussing this in the news cycle.

I think if it were Trump, we'd maybe be talking about a different N word.

But, I dunno, it would depend on intent. I gave Trump his fair shakes. He just didn't earn a lot of them with me.

This is good:

This is good:

Yes, especially so as I am entering that age group "with a particular emphasis on insulin."

I've voted for Harris in every election she has run in.

 

[GrandAdmiral]

This is good:

Would've been nice if they could have passed this before I went through open enrollment.

This is good:

That garbage bill is not going anywhere. This was only sent out by the lowest VP of all time for simple politics. Now, anyone that opposes the massive spending bill will also be against little jonny getting his insulin. More politics so their donors get more money.

How is regulating the price of insulin getting their “donors” more money? Do you even take a minute to examine what you believe to see if it makes sense? We really need a facepalm emoji. Sigh.

She’s not the only one who sent that out, btw. But what a shock that you would be so outraged by a woman of color in a position of authority.

LOL! When in doubt, go personal. I enjoy this banter.

Is it really a shock though? I am racist after all and I hate 'loose women'/sexist and Kamala checks all those boxes just like she checked the those boxes for Biden when selecting her.

But, maybe it is not racist or sexist since her staff apparently feels the same way

ETA: over under when the Dems will start screaming about insulin when discussing BBB plan? I give it this weekend.

How will this effect their donors- pharma? I have no idea, but I do know the government can't just regulate a price without subsidizing part of it. I guess we will see.

 

[MT15]

That was complete sarcasm. I have zero doubt personally about your feelings about women in general and POC in general. You’ve made your personal feelings very clear. Explicitly, in fact.

Since you have stated them so clearly, and so often, I feel like it’s fair game. Am I wrong about them? If you tell me different I will adjust.

My name's Sam, I would appreciate you not calling me small, or calling me Johnny.

I would also appreciate you not dissing my girlfriend.
