Yup, and whatever black woman he picked will always know that she was picked for the color and configuration of her genitals rather than her legal aptitude. What a joke.

Ain't no rule saying she has to be a cis black woman. Who's to say what type of genitals she might have.

Biden was also fulfilling an election promise

Funny how the right condemns Biden for not fulfilling his promises, but will condemn him for fulfilling them, too.

Like whack a mole. Everytime Biden comes in public the MAGAs are trying to whack him. They will blatently attack him for something they would shower praise on Trump if he did exactly the same thing

You mean exactly like you do when a Republican is in office?

Funny how you condemn the behavior when they do it, but it's always different when you do it.

Actually, I was overjoyed that Trump couldn't get his idiot wall built, despite what he had promised. I was less kind when he didn't fulfill his promise to give us healthcare that was YUUUUGE.

Strange that people who want to judge others over integrity can't practice what they preach :roll:

What is wrong with posting a link to a site which openly declares itself as being a satire site?

Of course, it is interesting that this post received such an edit, whilst the many posts containing links to "mcsweeneys.net" are left untouched... Maybe some satire sites (or posters) are more equal than others?

Perhaps you should ask the moderators whether sourcing links from right wing satire sites and masquerading it as news is ethical.

Interesting accusation - Where did I make any statement suggesting what I was linking to was news? I don't believe I made any statement regarding the content linked to, and I certainly didn't provide any quotes from the linked article (as I do when linking to news articles) so would be quite interested in seeing where I made such a statement\claim.

I'm also curious how linking to a "right wing" satire site differs from a "left wing" (or, for that matter, a "centrist") satire site - obviously in your opinion there must deserve different treatment, or you wouldn't have placed any focus on this component of the site in your description.

Umm where has anyone used "left-wing" satire sites as a source or a link?

Given you're only aware of "right wing" satire sites being linked on this site, that even more reason to question the need to explicitly single out "right wing" satire sites, rather than referring to "satire sites" in general.

I think it is excellent when black people get represented at the highest levels. I thought Obama's policies were awful, but, he did a lot for black representation & was a key figure really for black empowerment.

We have Diane Abbott here in the United Kingdom & oh boy, does she embarrass black people?!

Having an incompetent black person in power is worse than having no black person in power, depending on the context.



In what way does Diane Abbot 'embarrass black people'? What evidence do you have for this?

This is why politics is so effective at distracting people from real life.
