I'm just startled by how obvious it is when Biden wanders off from the teleprompter. He's marginally acceptable when he's staying on a tightly-controlled script--and I'd fucking hope he'd be after 50 damned years of it-- but the instant he wanders off of the teleprompter he becomes completely incoherent. It's always perfectly clear when it's about to happen too, because he sputters one of his canned phrases like "look" or "come on, man!" and then off we go into the field of Corn Pops and missing planes and you know the thing.
It's just an abrupt, 90-degree drop straight off a cliff every fucking time. If you dig back through his old speeches you still saw those phrases pop up periodically because that was how he used to buy himself time to think. It was just a "filler" he used to avoid doing things like Obama's constant "Uuh." As time as gone on, though, Biden's been using those fillers more and more because his brain just cannot find the next room that it wants to go into, so instead of being something that was fairly rare and weaved itself organically into his speech, they crop up so constantly that they become jarring.
This accusation has been bothering me for a while, once it started cropping up 10-15 years ago. Did these people just grow up in shitty schools?
I grew up in a former Confederate state, and had the kind of private religious schooling that sends liberals screeching about indoctrination and mis-educating kids. I'm talking 100% ultra-conservative, ultra-patriotic, religious to the point that we learned more arguments against evolution than about how it worked.
Even in this "worst" of settings, we learned about all of the subjects she mentioned. Except for Henrietta Lacks, who isn't a notable historical figure, more of a 4th amendment medical grievance case that got racialized.
Before the leftist BS destroyed the curriculum decades ago, kids weren't being taught a "patriotic fantasy". They were being taught the blemishes in US history, but they were also taught the context and the political counterpoints.
The story of "slaveholding Founding Fathers" doesn't begin and end with slaves. It begins with an inherited institution, goes through a literal Revolution of thought, examines the intricate "poison pills" they inserted into the Constitution to destroy slavery over the long run, and ends with many of them personally trying to free their own slaves. It's one of the first places kids encounter the morality-vs-legality tension.
But instead of teaching it properly, the leftist zombies want to go 100% on the morality side and cut the lesson short with a sanctimonious condemnation. They don't even get the morality right; they reject contemporary morality in favor of anachronistic modern morality.
I understand them trying to subvert proper teaching of history. But I really can't figure out where all these whitewashing accusations come from. Those darker parts are in the history books, and they are being taught. Maybe these morons just never paid attention in class, until they got to college and some woke professor turned the entire class into a guilt-tripping focus on those parts.
I hate, HATE that the lesson they might learn from this is "if you're gonna do a rape hoax, make sure you get lots of false allegations at once before coming forward."
Or wait until any potential phsical evidence has withered away and memories jave clouded so its just your word vs his, and by current rules of media engagement, you are obviously truthful and everyone else is lying.

"We are scared for their safety" You were more than willing to put them in an unsafe situation with your "siege" before. What changed? Oh, right, nobody wants your violence anymore and your Democrat Party handlers are now paying you to not riot because their poll numbers are tanking.
1776 is when we told the british to fuck off due to their taxation without representation and the desire to disarm the populace of the colony. Prior to that, we had to follow someone else rules.
Is the 1916 project trying to teach that even though the American colonies were under the rule of various powers in Europe, we are still at fault for those rules that were common place at the time?
The whole 1776 thing is brilliant with its timing. He's making the left trot out their overt and unveiled hatred of America again right before the election, and getting them to ramp up the screams of "RAYSIZZ!" that helped sink them last time.

Considering that 1619 was during the time where America was under England rule, these people don't take the time and think about that. Instead they bitch about how much America sucks and that America needs to pay for having slaves.
Only didn't America already did that? And was it immediately after the Civil War? "Yeah, but it wasn't enough. Now you need to give me something because white people tried to keep black people under thumb during the Civil Rights Movement."
That is how these people speak and I gotta say their arguments sucks.

Marshall University this morning announced it is aware of an overtly political statement made by a faculty member in a recent virtual classroom session and widely circulated on social media.
The university does not support or condone the use of any of its educational platforms to belittle people or wish harm on those who hold differing political views.
The professor was removed from the classroom yesterday and is on administrative leave, pending an investigation.
There will be no further comment on this personnel matter at this time.
Looks like one of those really lazy muppets that they make when the Jim Henson Workshop doesn't want to put any more work into it than necessary to make some unpleasant bystander character.
So it's Trump's "fault" and not the Democrats' in that the Democrats have voiced support for the regimes that oppressed these people and Trump/Republicans haven't. Interesting take.
