Biden is not responsible for what other people do. This man had agency and he used it in a gruesome way to take his own life.
Full stop.

It makes us all realize that Facebook and Twitter could fix this permanently but they choose not to. I wonder what proportion of FB/TW accounts are bots controlled by governments? 40%? At least?

For the millionth time. YOU CANNOT INGEST FENTANYL BY TOUCHING IT. Or meth, or cocaine. That's not how they work. Liquid LSD you can ingest through your skin. But you're unlikely to find a pile of that anywhere.
The media (looking at you

) perpetuate this copaganda.

This popped up in my feed from yr ago. Rep Gloria Johnson (yes her) talking about how she tried to get one of the GOP TN House members expelled for abusing kids. It failed. He's still a member.
They don't care about children. They care about power.
Tennessee Republican Rep. David Byrd admitted to molesting three children.

tried to expel him from government, but the Republicans refused and continue to support and protect him.

Ironically, in my feed the next tweet is from Sec. Buttigieg talking about the reopening of I-95 in Philly.
One party is talking nonsense that affects NO ONE.
The other party is getting stuff done. I know which one I choose.

“She’s very aware and a proponent of Hispanic culture,” Bradshaw said. “She’s a good person. You know, it’s just a bad thing that’s happened.
She's not a good person. Good people don't scream racist tirades, even when drunk. She's a racist turd. It didn't "happen," she did it.

Just like Walgreens story about shoplifting in San Francisco being the reason for closing a bunch of stores… The real reason is they massively overbuilt.

Racism. Absolutely 100% racism.
New Orleans. A huge wide median ("neutral ground" in local parlance) that was basically a linear park was destroyed along with 100 year old oak trees for Interstate 10. A black neighborhood was cut in two.

The issues are three:
1. Musky has a skin so thin it would make an onion jealous.
2. He's created so much uncertainty, advertisers are freaking out.
3. He's borked the layoffs so badly (they couldn't wait a few months? REALLY?) that employees hate him. Can you blame them?

This is a case of good ole boys protecting one of their own and a woman who's been abused by the system repeatedly. The Parish in question is north and west of New Orleans (i.e. across Lake Pontchartrain).

It's the modern version of the university Tenant Union that a friend worked at in college in the 80s. When I went to her and said "I'm thinking of renting from Landlord X" she said "NO! He will screw you over and you'll have to use the oven to heat the apartment!" Thanks Esther.

Why are white people, like you, so afraid of not being in the majority?
Is it because you're worried that black and brown people will treat you like you treat them?
I live in a majority black city. My neighbors are a mix of black, white and Latino. It's a nice neighborhood.

You can ask. Once. When you get an answer, the polite thing to do is to say "that's lovely."
You don't badger a guest repeatedly by rephrasing the question (about ANY topic) when you don't get the answer you want.
It's appallingly rude and in this case, massively racist.

My parents were UBER Catholic so when I came out as gay at 16 (in 1981) they were pretty upset. Finally they calmed down, loved my boyfriends and came to my wedding. I'd asked my very funny Aunt to give the toast but Dad insisted on one too after his sister, and made me cry. :-)

They need to stop insinuating that gay men are pedophiles. IT GETS OLD. It's the worst insult and they do it constantly.

Your bill should include EU style COMPENSATION over and above refunds. That would whip airlines into shape quickly.

They're mad about the kids realizing their parents and grandparents are just like the white folks in those clips from the 1960s.

Not even suburbs. Rockford is NOT a suburb of Chicago. It's 90 miles from Chicago and closer to Madison, than Chicago.
It's a small city of 150K which probably can't handle this, particularly since they were given little warning. But no nonsense midwesterners will make it work.

The Commonwealth just gives Britain an outsized sense of its role in the world. It's a medium sized power and has been for 70 years, but the British like to pretend they're still a superpower. The Empire ended in 1948 (or 56 or 60, depending) and they just can't get over it.
