In which we post interesting or amusing Tweets about the Biden Presidency

They weren't even hiding it in 2016, either.

And again, Michelle Wolf was right.

The entire press corps has gone all in on how bbbooorrriiinnnggg things are now. They miss Trump so much and they’re not hiding it. https://t.co/YPaMS7w87y

The kid next door delivered sandwiches for Jimmy John and had a non compete clause. Now he drives for Panera.

 

Is this the rock album covers thread?

Nunes is peddling Russian disinformation. He cites Ukrainian politician Andrei Artemenko, saying Ukraine interfered for Clinton... That guy came to the Trump inauguration and worked w/ Sater and Cohen to get a pro-Russian peace plan to NSA Michael Flynn. https://t.co/zXNojkmuWt

Short time ago, in a Virgin Galaxy, not far away:

maybe we could do equal access to things like education, healthcare, and legal justice before we do things like space I'm just saying https://t.co/jKz0Lpweyi

That time Carl Sagan called out Star Wars for being too white and the audience didn’t know what to do 💀 pic.twitter.com/b3SrFE9vxJ

Lando Calrissian is a positive role model in the realm of science-fiction/fantasy.

Who knew Carl Sagan was the original Hooper X

 

Is it just me, or does this look more like one side of a family than a set of parents and their children? It's like if Maurice White and Gladys Knight got married, before anybody goes there...

 

Equal access to anyone with a shitload of money to spend on a flight in space, that is.

 

Sidney Powell: “Election was stolen!”

Powell Atty: “No reasonable person would believe Powell.”

MAGA: “Powell said election was stolen y'all!”

Fox Atty: “No reasonable person would believe Tucker.”

They were born in the wrong country. As with Trump, they deeply admire Putin and the Russian way. (Along with the Saudi, Chinese, and North Korean ways). I doubt that most of them realize that they love Russia more than they do their own country. but they do. That's why they attack their own country so very often.

 

Both were wrong, but for incredibly different reasons.

 

"almost" is doing yeoman's efforts in your post.

 

I read that article on The Bulwark this morning. It's long, but a thorough chronicle of the Claremont institute's plunge off the deep end. To be sure, that plunge predated Trump (barely), but they went all in on Trumpiness before the 2016 election, and has been getting crazier ever since -- and getting crazier than the "Flight 93 Election" article in 2016 takes some doing.

That a place founded by philosopher and Lincoln scholar Harry Jaffa is now giving money to such clowns as Ben Shapiro and Charley Kirk. . . . Well, they lost the plot, and if Jaffa were still alive (well he'd be like 110, so if he were still alive and in sound mind) I can't believe he would tolerate it --he was among the few conservatives who opposed Bork's nomination to the Supreme Court, and Jaffa's book on the Lincoln Douglas debates, though it's over 60 years old, can be used to trace the roots of the contemporary GOP back not to Lincoln, but to the pro-Slavery, pro-populist arguments of Stephen Douglas.
