You can watch live as he desperately tries to remember what year it is and how racist he's allowed to be

Listen Jack, it's gonna be a racial jungle. Damn could my dad drive a car

turning a big dial taht says "Hitler %" on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right.

Buzzing in my guess at 99.01% Hitler so I am guaranteed to be closer than the guy who guessed 99% hitler 😏

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

If he's only 99.01% Hitler, that loses all the moderate suburban independents who would only ever vote for a candidate who is 99.3% Hitler or more.

These are Price is Right rules.

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 10 points 6 months ago

Yes but there's nothing stopping a republican or moderate democrat from running as 99.3% Hitler and swiping all the votes after that, leaving Biden with the fringe social democrats who want 99.01-99.29% Hitler.

Libs when Trump intentionally conflates a single person with a minority group: "Trump is racist."

Libs when Biden intentionally conflates a single person with a minority group: "Are you actually making fun of his stutter?"

Off the net

During Thursday’s speech at the US Capitol, Biden was heckled by Republicans over the killing of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old woman who was allegedly murdered by an undocumented immigrant.

Biden: "Laken Riley—an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal"

Liberals: "hE hAs A sTuTtEr"

I dunno, maybe the guy who wanted to build a wall since forever, has used less then polite language towards minorities in general, and is funding ICE above Trump levels might be a racist prick

I thought you were exaggerating but not really

Q Do you regret using the word “illegal” to describe immigrants last night, sir?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, I probably — I don’t re- — technically not supposed to be here.

That's from the white house btw https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2024/03/08/remarks-by-president-biden-before-air-force-one-departure-joint-base-andrews-md-3/

Bonus:

Q Mr. President, who is going to provide security for the port you’re planning to build to offer aid to Gaza?

THE PRESIDENT: The Israelis.

Q Is it going to be the I — IDF? Okay.

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you.

[–] NPa@hexbear.net 26 points 6 months ago

So they're building an entire port to circumvent the Israelis blocking aid from entering Gaza and then handing over security to the Israelis.

Perfect, no notes.

biden-rember "You better believe I do! I was trying to reach out to Haley voters but they didn't even realize I was being racist. I wish I would have just stuck with my gut, since our polling says we should have opted for [bad slur], [worse slur], or [worst slur].

[–] TC_209@hexbear.net 15 points 6 months ago

"In this house we believe technicality he's not supposed to be here!"

I’m voting for biden because i think it will be funny if he dies in office.

Or at least we might get our first adult diaper wearing president by the end of his second term.

[–] blight@hexbear.net 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

adult diapers aren’t cringe, dunk on ghouls for ghoulish things please

[–] HexbearGPT@hexbear.net 5 points 6 months ago

You’re right. Sometimes they are necessary.
