He has good writers but he really sold it. The best line was when he talked about Trump’s comments on “black jobs” and said “I know what a black job is; Vice President of the United States”.
I don’t get it.
Because the present VP is black. I imagine it’s a riff on “A woman’s place is in the House,” turning a negative stereotype or expectation on its head.
Though considering all the jokes about the uselessness of the vice-presidency absent a President dying, there might be an undertone of more wry humor as well.
Hell, he was doing it in 2008.
To explain the black jobs comment for those who may not be as tuned in; Trump was complaining that undocumented workers were taking all the “black jobs” implying that the jobs that black people do are the minimum wage unskilled ones. This has obviously been criticized as racist. Biden was pointing out that in his administration black people are qualified for all jobs.
That being the generous inference of his words.
The latest from the former Speaker:
And there’s this:
I hope like hell that if he’s already made up his mind and decides to step aside, that he makes the announcement tonight just as DJT is starting his speech to his cultists.
Sooner would be better than later, given the need for other potential Dem candidates to organize and work the phones before the DNC kicks off on Aug. 19, but I also wouldn’t want Trump to be able to brag in his speech of having scared Sleepy Joe out of the race.
According to unnamed sources. i.e worthless.
There are a lot of reasons why people wouldn’t want to go on record here. Doesn’t mean the reporting is worthless. Might need to take it with a little grain of salt, but reputable news organization don’t just make up sources.
Sure, but how reliable and knowledgeable is that source?
And now this:
I wondered what the real liberal media was saying, so I went to MSNBC. Who’s the original reporting? Don’t know, but this is a Chris Jansing report, not some blind pickup from another source.
Lies- Pelosi never called for Biden to drop out, nor did Obama-
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/18/nancy-pelosi-california-allies-stand-biden-00169332
Pelosi hasn’t told Biden to drop out yet.
See, they are taking things like 'expressing concern" well sure, polls arent great and Biden is sick- to “telling him to drop out”.
Per that link, she told him she “fears he is dragging down the Party”. What message do you suppose he was meant to take from that?
And now this:
And he’s not pursuing re-election, as I’m sure we all know by now.
Correct:
