"Barack then calls everyone over to the living room, and presents a basket of keys. 'Now remember folks,' he begins, 'if you like your spouse, you can keep your spouse...at least until midnight."

He should have his name legally changed to Bernie Sanders, might just be worth a shot.

She's using her name to publicly rally entertainment industry bigshots to join her on this donor strike

They are too trapped emotionally by the modern brand of campaigning via parasocial relationships, if Biden is sad about being forced out, they will be sad too. To them it's like being unable to say no to their grandma who has dementia and arthritis, when she asks to hold their baby. They just tell themselves that the baby will probably be okay, then cross their own fingers when they see hers begin to tremble heavily.

I recently watched this clip and he was so much more cogent and resolute in what he was trying to express in the past. Imagine all the ways this speech about sexual assault could have gone horribly wrong if Biden were as infirm here as he is today: https://m.facebook.com/story.php/?story_fbid=1116645375953075&id=815094451919066

They watched too many of those fucking puff pieces about Joe overcoming his stutter and how Jill Biden is a real doctor and the affinity is too strong to ever erode.

Much worse than I expected. He scrambled together two separate thoughts: 1. He nominated the first black woman to SCOTUS and 2. He was the VP to the first ever black president. He winds up saying that he himself was the first black woman VP to the first black president. This is not purely a misspeaking or speech-related issue, this is an undeniable cognitive decline issue.

I want to punch the Twitter sycophants who will inevitably say something like "he simply meant he was proud to nominate the first black woman Supreme Court justice and serve as VP to the first black president."

The ability to communicate with absolute clarity and avoid being taken out of context by a sensationalism-hungry media is a mandatory skill for a politician, and to expect any benefit of the doubt for any elected official is amateur hour and means you have already lost your fight.

You aren't even reading my comments in their entirety before flying off (I actually said he did do a lot of good for China), and your relationship to Mao is like that of a Swiftie to Taylor Swift.

I have extended family who are officials in the CCP, who would never give a shit about Mao being called a strongman, and would not consider some US lib YouTuber a centrist for thinking that. But your criteria for "strongman" appears entirely based on the politician's personal affects rather than their actual policy, which for Mao was literally asking every household have a picture of him in it to thank, and rooting out and jailing dissidents.

Now, a lot of Mao's initiatives were a necessary course of action to end things in China like the monopolies and polygamy and foot binding, but getting mad at Contrapoints lumping Mao with other "strongmen" in some 2020 video, and equivocating her views with Biden's for it is extremely online shit, the very parasocial behavior you accuse me of, the mirror opposite of the AnCap who gets mad when someone online calls Milei a fascist because on paper he's a libertarian.

Contrapoints is basically YouTube John Oliver, I am glad if moderate libs watch her crap instead of MSNBC or Bill Maher or Sam Harris.
