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

Immediately following Democratic effort to beat back Republican efforts to implement a corporate liability shield for coronavirus deaths, Joe Biden taps someone who did just that as commerce secretary. https://t.co/CZg9zA1Q0S pic.twitter.com/s7UUOgZUGV

Getting things back to normal!

Ehh “he tactically appealed to better natures in his successful race for the presidency” isn’t exactly the greatest own.

Also more importantly while the other candidates were having navel-gazy policy arms race debates irrelevant to what will actually pass the senate he launched his campaign with a focus on what happened at Charlottesville and has been effectively warning ever since about what ended up happening yesterday. Particularly in the last several weeks, his demand that Trump accept the results made reference to the consequences we saw yesterday.

fun fact: before jordan uhl was a resistance grifter he did PR for peta, including on this campaign. seems like a great guy https://t.co/UWbCioPFcA

yikes

Ehh “he tactically appealed to better natures in his successful race for the presidency” isn’t exactly the greatest own.

"Biden tactically expresses bad opinions he actually just straightforwardly holds" is the new "Trump is doing 5D chess"

Simon, Joe will be your president too.

lol gabbdon "Jordan Uhl worked for PETA, clearly Gina Raimondo did not use an executive order to shield nursing homes from COVID liability."

Simon, Joe will be your president too.

gabbneb: trump is your president

Ehh “he tactically appealed to better natures in his successful race for the presidency” isn’t exactly the greatest own.

Ehh I haven't checked the figures but November 4th, 2012 might predate his race for the presidency, and 147 Republicans followed an armed coup attempt by voting to overturn the election *checks figures* a few hours ago.

I haven’t yet read the 4 screenshot tweet for people who still take jacobin seriously. I’ll do it later I promise.

Joe's invading Canada? big if true

A dream that eluded Jefferson.

Biden, remember what happened in 1812, don't try it

Perhaps Joe is inspired by the fenian raids

Simon’s Canadian? Still holds true I think.

I, for one, will welcome our new Delaware overlord.

Marty Walsh, Human Thumb, expected to be the Labor Secretary: https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/07/politics/marty-walsh-labor-biden/index.html

Does he have a comical Boston accent at least?

He's nawt a cawp.

pretty solid accent yes

During the 2020 uprisings against police violence, Boston area activists called on Walsh to reduce spending on Boston Police Department by at least 10% for the 2021 fiscal budget. Walsh instead diverted $12 million from police overtime spending, less than 3% of the overall department budget.

he'll fit right in

buh buh buh but it's a step in the right direction!

I have multiple bones to pick with Walsh because he beat one of my classmates when he ran for mayor

in the mayoral race, or in an actual fight?

yeah Boston is wild!

par for the course in Boston tbf

aiui in Boston you get on the ballot not by collecting signatures but by beating students

he has the Frederick Wiseman seal of approval (I think?)

basically, yes

I was impressed by Biden's speech last night, notably the part about unequal justice.

how's this one looking now

answer: Joe Biden thinks it is his mission as President to strengthen the Republican Party. The good Republican lurkers support him in email. Any elected Republican who colluded in Wednesday's incursion should not resign, but remain in office for four years so that they can suffer the indignity of being voted out.

I really wish way too online leftists go a day without falling for clickbait from The Hill

Biden hasn't appointed a single Republican to his cabinet, Nancy Pelosi calls Trump deranged on TV every other day, and Chuck Schumer called the Republican mob that stormed the Capitol domestic terrorists. I don't think they're the ones who love the Republican Party https://t.co/AYWkJQ9Mof

The absolute nerve of the Hill to, uh, share a video of him with a pullquote of what he said.

Uhh yeah but he also said they should all be voted out. Which part made the headline? Plus we know it would be better if the opposition party wasn’t insane so it definitely feels like we’re falling for bullshit framing here.

Lol abd I saw it earlier and wondered “will Sic share this headline in rage mode like these other bozos?”’and it’s like clockwork. I’m just asking you guys to show discernment

Why can’t we destroy the Republicans and have a progressive/left-liberal opposition party

Ideally yeah but all available data from the American electorate makes that sound impossible.

Tbf The Hill has put out really misleading anti-Bernie headlines too which succeeds in riling up the other side of that intercine conflict.

Y/N do you agree that this country needs a strong Republican party?

It’s definitely important for big dem donors that we’re all afraid of a strong Republican Party

Looking forward to a “Big” Don tutorial in knowing which words coming out of the next president’s mouth are “clickbait” so as not to fall for them

nice linking

“Big” Dung, aka the Bozo-slayer

It’s a “bring the better person” line that condemns the party for not being better and it’s a GOP + 1 electorate probably but I get frustration in a vacuum that he doesn’t just say “put em all in the trash can”. I’d applaud that.

**being the better person” line

sorry “B”D I’m drunk pls ignore and fp

It does suck that before making that statement he was given two slips of paper reading “we need a strong Republican Party” and “put them all in a trash can” and was forced to choose

Will I will never FP you it’s fine. You’re alright
