Let’s Go Brandon!
Here’s another gem that Joe Biden probably didn’t write for his own delivery at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, but it certainly went over well.
Seriously, there is a character (other than Brandon) who is definitely not having a good year in U.S. politics, and that’s the 45th President of the United States. In particular, the Congresspeople he supports are struggling in their respective races, which indicates that Trump’s losing control of the Republican party.
For example, in the Georgia governor’s race, Trump-backed former U.S. Senator David Perdue is trailing Incumbent Brian Kemp 27% to 53%. That’s not really “trailing,” actually; that’s more like “getting his fanny whooped by.”
Yet the chain of causation on this is hard to establish. Are these candidates struggling because the have the support of a criminal conman? Maybe. But it could be what is called in statistics “selection bias.” Perhaps these people were chosen to receive Trump’s support because they are overtly spineless and dishonest, and the American have decided they’ve seen enough spinelessness and dishonesty for an entire century, and have simply turned toward people with more traditional values.
In either case, it’s good news for what remains of the United States.
This sentiment is alive in the United States today, but it exists in theory only.
Here’s a conversation I’m having a reader (Jim), who is concerned with the “Big Brother” appearance of the “Disinformation Governance Board.”
Obviously, Joe Biden didn’t write the joke here, but he delivered it well, to the enormous satisfaction of (almost all of) the audience.
Last night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner was completely worthwhile. Below is Trevor Noah’s roast, excellent as always, but Joe Biden did a very good job himself, IMO.
The United States is playing host to one of the most horrific vicious cycles in human history. Our citizens are becoming progressively ignorant, and our elected officials are picking up on that ignorance and making it more profound.
Actually, let’s all think back on that. Did any of us grow up disbelieving in science?
IMO, Jamie Raskin is the perfect spokesperson for the activities of the January 6th Committee.
If you have to believe something that isn’t founded in science, I suppose omnism is as good as anything.
Despite the overwhelming support of the American for common sense gun laws, this entire subject is going nowhere.
