Joe Biden, Senator from Citibank (oops, DELAWARE), to Run for President

80% of his coalition are broadly within the anti-stalinist western marxist tradition

...no?

I had trouble cutting through that thicket of adjectives too.

I just assumed xyz was posting that tweet for the lolz, which is clearly its intended purpose anyway

It is for the lolz, Rory is a commentator on English and Scottish Politics.

Obv that Biden tweet is one for the 'we'll make sanctions great again' pile.

honestly "Biden our Time" is probably where a lot of us are at tbh --

but seriously, did a lot of y'all not have to take improv in school because some of you really need to work on your "Yes! And"s

like Yes! organizing and activism is what leads to progressive change and I do what I can IRL AND we can complain about the current state of politics on ILX

YES improv is annoying AND i fp'd you

for this first debate, I'm looking for a type of event, a gathering that a lot of people would attend.

I'm looking for three distinct movie genres.

I'm also looking for a celebrity that would appear in them.

ok, who has suggestions

it's milo z tompkins time

YES improv is annoying AND i fp'd you

YES I LOL-ed AND i loL-ED AT nEAnderthal's homage

What kind of school makes you take improv?

Clown college

Drama class, and a lot of goofy self-help groups

I'll thank you not to refer to Princeton that way

xp

Look, just because I went to Oberlin...

(points at ttitt) Hah! Aha! (points again) Oberlin! (nods crazily, starts to chuckle quietly) An Oberliner! Yup! Now I see...table went to Oberlin. (pounds fist into open palm) Damn! (exits stage left, mumbling happily)

Amazing how a simple if stupid joke can be taken so poorly by someone two decades my senior.

poorly?

ironic

don't you think

I graduated from that notorious madhouse of artsy radicals, The Evergreen State College. If anyone understands Oberlin's snickersome reputation vs. its reality, it's a Geoduck from TESC.

i went to the university of your mom

I went to Your Mom State and lemme tell ya, I graduated magna cum loud!!!

what was yr major?

they don't call 'em Alma Mater for nothing

I double majored... B.A. in T and B.S. in A!!!

shouldn't that be Magnum Cum Loud ?

there ain't no 'majoring' at TESC. we learn. we do things. but we don't do credentialing.

uh, I was asking the graduates of Your Mom University and Your Mom State, not you, Aimless

contrary to popular belief, they do in fact have grades at Evergreen State:

Awesome job rolling this marijuana joint, dude!
Bonghits before class? Don't mind if I do!
C'mon man, put down that book and let's go smoke a giant doobie!
Don't think I'll go to class today, or even think at all!
Fuck it, pack another bowl!

omg -- great use of hidden text!

In my day the usual joke was that your mom graduated cum loudly

lol, your mom enjoys sexual intercourse in a healthy way

my name is forks and i'm here to say

signs you might be an 80's baby

that doesn't rhyme, booed off of the Apollo

that's hard to swallow

Check out the hook while my dj revolves it

New: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have released a statement on the fatal shooting of Walter Wallace Jr. by police in Philadelphia. pic.twitter.com/x3KGKl7q9c

Same old liberal BS comparing some broken windows and cops grazed by water bottles to the structural, systemic violence of white supremacy.

Same old liberals wouldn’t be half as bad as Biden. In this moment, even Hillary would be able to muster something better than “looting is bad.”

honestly after the last 40 years in America, Americans below middle class income should be able to loot any business of their choosing every day for an entire year decade

Not only was the secondary "anger is worse than the police killing" paragraph in that statement longer than the initial "sorry to u mans an dem" paragraph, Biden has now bumped it up to the top:

#BREAKING: Joe Biden speaks on Philadelphia unrest.

Reporter: "What do you say to Philadelphia residents that are outraged by yet another unarmed Black man being shot by police?"

Biden: "What I say is that there is no excuse whatsoever for the looting and the violence." pic.twitter.com/9ffWy1oBQG

Reporter: "What do you say to Philadelphia residents that are outraged by yet another unarmed Black man being shot by police?"

Biden: "What I say is WILL you plebs just SHUT THE FUCK UP about police brutalising and murdering you in the streets. FFS!"

Exciting stuff, would vote for if I was American.

I’m black. I’m a cop. I’ve also had hours of de-escalation training.

With that said:

No matter your color, mental status, prior condition, or mood, if you run at me with a knife, I will shoot you. Many times.

The end. #Philadelphia #phillyriots #BlueLivesMatter

maybe the Joe Biden who thinks that the entirety of US policing has been irreparably tainted by violent lawlessness should have a word with the Joe Biden who thinks that increasing their funding will slightly reduce the amount of murders they do

Entire hours of de-escalation training? Impressive

Fucking grim
