    But Biden’s 2024 campaign is worried about getting Black voters to the polls. Last week, the Biden campaign put $25 million into a radio advertising campaign to pump up enthusiasm among Black and Latino voters with message “Joe and Kamala are getting it done for us — and that’s the facts.”

    look fat, if you don't vote for me you're not black

    It is not in his ads, but last week Biden’s vice president — the first Black vice president, Kamala Harris — swore in a Black woman, Laphonza Butler, as a U.S. senator. It is amazing to me, after 50 years of covering Washington, to see a Black woman sworn in as a senator while her wife — another Black woman — holds the bible, and the oath is administered by a third Black woman, who is Biden’s Vice President of the United States.

    :bomber-with-gay-pride:

    Strom Thurmond, who lived to 100, was “a product of his time,” Biden said in his eulogy of the South Carolina Republican who built his career on a Dixiecrat campaign for president in 1948 and on his opposition to civil rights. But Thurmond, Biden asserted, had “moved to the good side.”

    Whooops, that must've come from the wrong article, clumsy of me

      Iirc he gave Strom's eulogy in 2003. Like it wasn't even that long ago (well I am an old). But holy shit, the way this man's crimes have been outright denied in mainstream democrat discourse is incredible.

          And now he's building the wall and waiving 26 environmental rules to make it happen
