Well Biden is a friend of my father and moth and he comes over for dinner and spends the night from time to time. So yea I am certainly basing it off some level of bias. But yea, the man is a raging asshole and racist.
I mean it is kinda obvious with how he exploits minorities to get ahead and then attacks the racial identity of people who dont support him and dont want on his team. "If you dont support me you aint black" in his own words (never mind the fact he had to use broken english because he associates blacks with not being able to speak in an educated way).... Yea right here and now it has been overwhelmingly obvious he is still a racist, just one smart enough to know he has to exploit them now rather than abuse them to get ahead.
I mean he literally started his career and spent most of it trying to prevent desegregation and even explicitly stated he didnt want mixed races in school because he didnt want his kid to "grow up in a racial jungle"... But hey, make excuses for his racist behavior, nothing new.
Thanks if you use it please feel free to give me any feedback you have.
@Pineywoozle @freemo @MoiraEve @georgetakei Democrats after someone responds to “never be afraid to talk about history” with “what about #JoeBiden’s own political history”:
@paul haha its fairly automatic if you have the right directory structure and settings. Can be hard to do from scratch though if you dont know the right settings.
Havent been initited and gone to a meeting yet. But generally its about fraternal brotherhood (helping each other be better people). Their motto is "Making good men better", which is what appealed to me.
@mxtthxw I can try
> Totally agree we should prevent flu better. Lack of flu activity in 2020-21 basically showed that covid mitigations = flu mitigations!
Absolutely, Flu and COVID are serious diseases even if they arent at the level of hype some people would like you to think. We should take **reasonable** precautions for either, that includes good filtration and airflow in public spaces, good hygiene. When in a high-risk environment like a nursing home mask up, etc. But les also not go too far off the deep end either (like shutting down whole economies over an outbreak).
> I think the issue was the phrasing that 1000 deaths/wk "is the exact same rate the flu has killed people in the USA for decades."
This is misleading. The stats you are refering to are the isolated influence stats.. that is, it includes direct death from influence and excludes death from pnumonia caused by influenza. The COVID figure inclues people who die of secondary causes that are the direct result of COVID. When you factor int he same from influenza then it is much higher than the 600 average figure our quoting. Sadly the CDC itself doesnt have these figures you'd have to go to a secondary data set to get that. Regardless the figure is well over a thousand for sure, I picked that number to be generous. When you combine influenza and pnumonia the figure is 41K a week, but sadly that would include pnumonia without the flu as a primary cause.
@paul Wonderful to hear that!
No one told me I couldnt mention I got accepted. In general masons are allows to say their masons. I think advertising recruitment is against the rules, but simply stating your a Freemason is not.
Indeed and a very important distinction :) I usually pick my words very carefully, its a shame people dont put as much care into reading what I say as I put into saying it.
Why did you just quote me and then use words I didnt say?
> You said “worst racist records in history”
as if I said that yet i didnt say those words.
What I did say wwas very different
I just officiall got accepted as a member of the Freemasons. This should be fun!
@georgetakei Thats ironic coming from a president who has one of the worst racist records in history, he spent most of his career trying to keep segregation alive because he didnt want school to be a "racial jungle"
