Now I love those cowboys, I love their gold
Love my uncle, God rest his soul
Taught me good, Lord, taught me all I know
Taught me so well, that I grabbed that gold
I left his dead ass there by the side of the road, yeah

FACT SHEET: President Biden Signs Executive Order Advancing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in the Federal Government

Too many underserved communities remain under-represented in the Federal workforce, especially in positions of leadership. This Executive Order establishes an ambitious, whole-of-government initiative that will take a systematic approach to embedding DEIA in Federal hiring and employment practices.

Initially I didn’t think Kamala would have a chance stepping in this late but coming around that she can whoop his fat a**. I’m praying she goads him into some serious mysoginstif racist stuff. It shouldn’t be hard.
Over/under on how long it takes for him to use the hard n word? I know there are apparently Apprentice tapes with him letting loose. If he gets pi$$ed off enough I could see him accidentally letting it slip.
To his people, that word is just "anti-woke." So NP.
Just heard from a West Indian woman that has never voted in this country who said she is registering to vote and will vote for Kamala and there is a lot of Gen Z energy behind her. I know several people that have said they are donating to a presidential campaign for the first time. A hood rat that was all in for Trump last year has changed his tune and he said he knows guys that feel the same. Trump's "black jobs" comment is his "deplorables"..... A small sample....time will tell.
In her camp cautiously but I would not this “she’s young” sh*t has to stop, she’s already older the the average presidents age.
The proffer was “someone youngER”…no need to qualify it. She’s 59. Now that’s old? Median age is 55.
Btw yes, 59 is old! It’ll be different when I get there. But today it’s old.
Not in the context of wanting someone younger than two octogenarians.

This entire long post is a perfect example of missing the point. The only question is whether it is deliberate, or just the result of long-held and impregnable bias.

Important speech yesterday in Minnesota by the Orange Moron. Summary of points made and policies discussed:

1. He will now behave “worse” than he did before.

2. He talked about his friend “the late great Hannibal Lecter.”

3. Noted that he hits golf balls really hard and he taught a pro-golfer new tricks.

4. Told the crowd that Margaret Thatcher never laughed like Kamala Harris.

5. Talked and lied about his crowd sizes over and over.

6. He is like Elvis but “with no guitar.”

7. He wants to start a fight league for professional UFC fighters to attack migrants.

8. He asked people if they remembered Hunter Biden’s laptop.

9. Called Kamala Harris a lunatic and said that she can only beat him if she cheats.

10. San Francisco is communist.

But they “like his policies.”

There's a difference in interpreting things like "black jobs" and "sh~thole countries" and "I'm gonna rule like a dictator on the first day only" and "you won't have to vote any more... it'll be fixed" and "turned black" on and on

vs. mixing up politicians names and locations and other gaffes.

Unfortunately for Kamela, prices are up 19 percent from the start of the Biden/Harris presidency, and interest rates have stayed at a two-decade high since July 2023 as inflation has remained above the Fed’s target of 2 percent.

Will be interesting to see if she can shake that record.

Are we sure a ride down the slippery slope of Biden quotes would only produce name/location mixups and gaffes? :roll:

How the press and social media and politicians themselves edit, distort and curate pithy sound bites for desired context can make benign appear malignant, and visa-versa. Easy enough to find examples illustrating this phenomenon from all sides. Consequences for being called out are minimal, as the points are already on the scoreboard and the base has gobbled up and regurgitated the message. It's already on to the next, and the next, ad infinitum.

Well each circumstance you mention between either person still involves interpretation to decipher what is being said.
Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama never needed anyone to interpret what they were saying. All 3 were great communicators. Folks may not have agreed much with what they had to say. The message was loud and clear.

What's weird are close minded people who insist on only accepting the latest ever-changing woke terminology,
then impugning the motives of people who do not use the latest woke term. What was previously the preferred terminology is now insensitive (or worse). It's a gimmick to perpetuate perpetual victim status.
