Are you completely incapable of backing up anything you say with facts? You just don’t seem to be grounded in reality at all. ---

Read, please. Pick up a paper. Look up a decent site on the Internet. TV is for entertainment purposes not real news. Much. PBS News hour is ok. Fox is lying to you. ---

There is nothing. Not a shred of evidence. You’re being lied to. And it seems pretty clear your don’t care about facts when it comes to Biden - you want to be lied to. ---

> [@HoneyBadgerDC](#): > > This all affects how people view them. The blame needs to be aimed at where it is. The blacks need to call out the shitheads and stop making excuses for them. I think your postulated view of the cause and effect aspect of this issue is skewed. The negative aspects of a culture aren’t responsible for racism. People who are already racists simply seize on that negativity as a means to further their racist agendas. If I hated “white people”, I could point out white supremacists and the white corporate power structure and make the same negative claims about white people in general. “If white people cleaned up their culture, I could have respect for them!” ---

Some people struggle to understand that other people can’t see their hallucinations. Also: the places HB is “seeing” these things about Biden _are sources_. Almost certainly terrible ones, but still sources. ---

I’m sorry! I picked a Honeybadger quote out of your post but, because it came out of your post, it looks like it was your quote and not his. I apologize for the poor methodology on my part! To anyone reading, it was Honeybadger’s quote, and my response was to HIS quote, not iiandyiiii. ---

As REM famously sang… _Don’t let yourself go_ _'Cause everybody cries_ _Everybody knows… Joe Biden is corrupt_ Those lyrics might be slightly off. ---

> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > “everybody knows” is not a source. Just look at all the evidence then. /s I’m not going to go looking for it, but these types of arguments remind me of Trump, years ago, talking about, I think, why Biden was guilty of something. And not “something” as a placeholder because I don’t remember what it was, Trump just wouldn’t tell anyone because there wasn’t anything to say. Even when reporters asked him directly WTF he was talking about they just got vague answers like “just look at all the evidence” and got angry when they pressed him for an actual answer.
