The guys of American Thinker posted a good rant about Biden visit to Buffalo.
May 18, 2022

Joe Biden, as expected, was despicable in Buffalo​

By Andrea Widburg

Dementia sloughs away all the nuances of personality, leaving behind and magnifying, a few core traits. Joe Biden has a documented history of being dumb, self-centered, and mean, so those traits are now worse. Add in his neo-Marxism and the result is someone who goes to Buffalo, where a mentally ill man slaughtered ten innocent people, and Biden, instead of trying to heal wounds, spouted falsehoods and calumnies to score political points. Biden is despicable.
The speech was vintage Biden: squinting at the TelePrompter; weird inflections untethered to the content of his words; clownlike grimaces; and a generally creepy vibe. It’s easier to read the transcript.
Biden copies his mentor, Obama, by making sure he’s the central topic of any speech. For example, he explained that, when he called Kathy Hochul asking for permission to visit her state, “She said, ‘This is a big Scranton.’” Get it? Biden’s from Scranton....
And as he always does, Biden dragged in his own family tragedies, saying that “we know a little bit of what’s like [sic] to lose a piece of your soul when you lose a son, a daughter, a husband, a wife, a mother, a father.” And it’s certainly true that Biden had his fair share of loss, losing his wife and daughter in 1972 and his son, Beau, in 2015. However, Joe brings them up obsessively, to the point at which one loses any sense of his personal tragedies and hears only, “Me, me, me.” This was especially true when Biden used Beau as a shield to deflect attention from the troops who died during his disgraceful Afghanistan pullout.
Where Biden veered into loathsomeness was when he decided that an appearance just a few days after a terrible mass murder would be the perfect opportunity to score political points. In this context, it’s important to note that Biden, to date, has ignored most mass shootings—and there have been many of late, possibly because the left’s COVID response and racism have broken apart America’s social fabric and further weakened damaged personalities. To merit his attention, the narrative requires a crazy White person killing non-White people. The innumerable Black, Hispanic, and Asian mass shooters do not exist in Biden’s narrow ideological framework.

Holy fuck was last night brutal. Besides a handful of new and solid Congresscritters, I feel the main takeaways are Ted Budd beating the everliving shit out of Pat McRory in his primary and Raúl Labrador winning the Idaho attorney general's race.

Would've thought that Oz v McCormick would be like 2020, in a primary of all things? Elections are a joke.

Pennsylvania is a rathole, so it shouldn’t surprise you in the slightest.

Do you mean the carousel or the main feed? I see Tucker clips in the main feed that is based off of watch history all the time, but never in the dedicated news carousel that is shown to everyone.

Don't use that so don't know, but Fox is marked as trusted to keep the veneer of not being a liberal helhole

Jesse Ventura, Al Franken, Ronald Reagan, and Donald Trump all got elected to public office. Stranger things have happened.

For an update regarding Pennsylvania (if anyone hasn't seen it) this is the latest reporting:

Remaining votes to my knowledge are all mail-in, which means at minimum that ~2k vote lead for Oz will get smaller. Not unlikely this one sees the inside of a court room too depending on who finally ekes out the win.

Don't forget the Governator, and the many football dudes/athletes who've made it in.

Also, Truth Social is out on desktop. Quite comfy from the looks of things. Still waiting for an Android app, though.

Compared to what?

"Man how as on the TV is running for office now that he retired from that TV job"

vs

"A major political party cheated to put a man with Obvious Dementia as their headliner on the presidential ticket, then cheated to put him in office"

I'm sure that particular statement comes with a fuck-ton of asterisks

You bring up an interesting point. When did this whole meme of "the 1950s we're the worst time period ever" start? In previous media, it's been portrayed pretty positively.

There was a bit of it in the late sixties and early seventies, mainly "fuck you, mom and dad" type stuff and the lunatic fringe of the rad fem movement, The Equal Rights Amendment shit really accelerateed that thinking though. In 82, in no small part to Phyllis Schlafly, the hatred of the fifties ideal was a pretty sizeable minority. The whole "barefoot and pregnant" idea, or Schlafly saying something about greeting your husband at the door with supper made in a negligee or something like that had them sperging in 82. Briefly, she was the most hated woman in the world, until Thatcher regained her title. I still know women who get apoplectic when thinking of Schlafly. She gets as much hate as Trump.

It was pretty much from around then that motherhood was vilified, the fifties seen as horrific, and feminism fully embraced their current motto of "Arbeit Macht Frei" for themselves. Probably took the cute grunge girls and their male feminist simps to fully make it the zeitgeist in the nineties, though.

Edit:
I went looking for the Schlafly quote, but didn't find it... Here are a couple of good ones to piss people off, though...

"If home is to have a greater lure than a tavern the wife must be at least as cheerful as the waitress." ~ Phyllis Schlafly

"The feminist movement taught women to see themselves as victims of an oppressive patriarchy. ... Self-imposed victimhood is not a recipe for happiness." ~ Phyllis Schlafly

"If the woman picks the wrong man, that's not society's problem. That's her problem." ~ Phyllis Schlafly

"I urge young women to look ahead and see if they want to have a lonely old age or do they want to have what I have, which is the joy of 14 beautiful grandchildren." ~ Phyllis Schlafly

I do love that the simple act of rebroadcasting Jankowicz's own publicly available online activity is considered a "coordinated attack".

Edit: Just noticed the byline. Everything she doesn't like is a coordinated attack to that dipshit. Fuck her pearl-clutching and her crocodile tears.
