Joe Biden is (currently) President of the United States

seconded

and because many stories since January have attested to her White House connections -- i.e. a direct line exists between her and them -- it makes sense.

If Jayapal is the successor, I'm more than willing to let go of Pelosi. Since my personal congressional rep is a fucking blue dog who voted against Pelosi for her current Speaker's term in the hope of moving the caucus to the right, I'm hesitant to think that Jayapal can win the votes she needs to move the caucus left.

As much as I would like Jayapal in that role, I thought the conventional wisdom was that Hakeem Jeffries would be Pelosi's successor.

Pelosi needs to do go away after the midterms no matter what. Today would be cool too

you can tell the media is really 100% turning against Biden because they're starting to transcribe what he says as he actually says it https://t.co/YDyx2vlllE

what a piece of shit tweet that would be shared by anyone's racist dumbass cousin.

Not to be Cap'n Save-a-Biden, but I thought it tolerably well known that the dude has had a stutter since he was a child.

Even if you think that's what it is rather than being an ancient man, the joke of the tweet is that the media that's been 100% in the bag for him and covered every time someone questioned him is starting to highlight what might be embarrassing pauses and stutters.

What about them do you find embarrassing?

the joke of the tweet

the ppm of humor in that tweet were at undetectable levels

Did you read the two words before that? (Or the rest of them, for that matter.)

what a strange conclusion to draw

xp

Honestly, it is nearly impossible to parse out what you get out of that tweet or your reasons for posting it ar all.

Dunkin' on Unkie Joe iirc

The media’s response to Pull Out Joe after two years of puff pieces and covering for him is funny.

especially bc they're doing it bc they're hawks

actually now it's less funny

So kudos to the press because they punished the unforgivable sin of leaving Afghanistan by highlighting his old age/stutter?

Did you read kudos anywhere?

Yes, the funny part is that corruption, sexual assault allegations, being confused in general were all issues to pointedly ignore but the cardinal sin of (momentarily) betraying the MIC is when the knives come out.

The thought behind Biden’s response is not especially salutary, whether the delivery is broken up by a stutter, senescence, or dissembling.

One transcription doesn’t make a pattern, but if this did or has become a regular thing at given outlets, it would contrast notably with the tidying and elision routinely applied to the former guy’s incoherent exclamations.

Like I said, it is impossible to parse your motivation for dropping a tweet like that with zero commentary, but your unquenchable thirst for this stuff is always a wonder to behold.

xp

it is impossible to parse your motivation

Is it or is that just complicated by your insistence on putting words in my mouth/not reading ('kudos,' 'why would you say that's embarrassing')?

Let's see what we have here. The quoted tweet cites one small snippet of text, transcribed by who knows what individual or where it was published, and it concludes on that basis alone that '100% of the media are turning against Biden', and your reaction to this bit of total stupidity is to find it funny, not because it is so stupid, but because in your mind obviously the whole media has 'pulled out its knives' against Biden, when before this they were all obviously in his pocket?

It's amazing how many people repeatedly over years now misconstrue what you post. Kudos!

But, yes, the Beltway press is grotesque in its predictability.

xxp

I'm trying to figure out what your point is, which is difficult when you prefer insinuating things rather than just owning them.

it concludes on that basis alone that '100% of the media are turning against Biden'

Is that what it says?

it says: you can tell the media is really 100% turning against Biden, so yes. it does say that.

I’m starting to believe that Milo ~does not like Joe Biden.

But does he like like Joe Biden

he's just not that into him

Losing ground on COVID and the economy.

Lot of sabotage going on imo

lol at public opinion on Covid and Afghanistan. A huge hunk of America isn't even doing the minimum to mitigate covid, so of course that's Biden's fault. And an even bigger hunk of America probably hasn't thought about Afghanistan in decades, and certainly couldn't find it on a map. But sure, they're upset about his handling of that, too. Knowing this stupid country, he's probably losing approval on handling of Covid for *trying* to handle Covid, and losing support on Afghanistan for *not* signing up for two more decades of war.

In other words, fuck the polls, which are not only often wrong, but iirc stand right now at their lowest where his predecessor stood at his *highest* approval number.

I like him now

oh wow

i mean, the topic matter is prettttty dull

He's looking down and maybe closing his eyes in concentration (hard to tell with the angle), but immediately after the Twitter clip ends, he responds to Bennett: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seQx_5MckGI

It's just a joke lol

He responded, “...wuzza smnnnggg heaaahr? Oh. Hey, listen. That’s number two. America will be Israel’s strategic partner during the apocalypse. That’s number one.”

itt we post tweets from republicans making fun of joe biden

i.e. the same content as anyone's dumbass racist cousin

Racist against Delawareans?

outside the shared sense of humor, the content diverges, and that's where you'll find the racism. before or after the next show, maybe probe the minds at adjacent tables of the Joe Biden Funny Bone comedy club. you definitely aren't these people -- so what the fuck are you doing there?

I thought you found the racism in Joe's Senate career.

The formulation of 'only bad people make fun of Joe' and 'to prove this I'm just going to throw out the word racist' hasn't gotten less stupid since you tried it last.

Maybe he wasn't nodding off, he just daydreamed about his glory days palling around with Strom Thurmond. Whomst among us doesn't daydream of better times?

please. save this material for your peers at the Funny Bone. don't waste it on me.

There are legit things to dislike Biden for so you don’t have to post heavily edited misleading videos by right wingers.

That also are just”Biden old lol”

I know they have the same last name, but milo z and xyzzz z__ are different posters

I see that it was xyzzzz who posted that, sorry Milo. You are right that his career had been garbage up to this point.
