Biden White House: Year 4


tgo

Recommended Posts

I'm against attempts to "cancel" Washington, Jefferson, or other founders. Specific "colonials" made positive contributions that outweigh their transgressions. 

 

Colonials as a mascot/nickname mostly seems to serve to glorify colonization, which in our history and generally in human history includes subjugation and even genocide of the people who already lived there. Are we colonizing occupied land (i.e. invading?) or unoccupied land. There's a pretty big difference there. That's not a distinction they cared about in the past.

 

It's a private university. I think they should change their name if that's what they want. The nickname probably worked a lot better in the past when everyone who went there would have easily identified with being a "colonial". Probably not so true now.

 

Btw, the name "Colonials" only became the nickname in 1926.

No I don't think that has anything to do with super rich. It is the top 1.8% of income earners though.    Also if you think the proposals to raise the taxes on people making that much are ex

Joe's drug/sex addicted daughter revealed that maybe her problems stem from taking showers with Dad as a girl.

Nobody here believes anything unless its covered by one of their media sources. Even then , they will call it russian interference, right wing spin, or irrelevant. Then they’ll say “what about Trump?”, even though he is not the President. Then comes the insults and the smiley face responses. Why bother?

Oh, you mean the Ashley Biden that is Joe Biden's senior advisor?  Yeah, we should totally worry about that.

Is she in charge of lining her pockets with Saudi money Middle East peace?

She mentioned in her diary some issues she felt might have attributed to her drug addiction.  In a list of things, she said "showers / my dad (probably not appropriate)" in that list.  "Probably not appropriate" would suggest that she didn't think she was molested like LTF wants everyone to believe, but it's something she obviously remembers and feels at some level uncomfortable with.

We don't know the circumstances, and as far I know Ashley hasn't commented on it.  It's definitely not a pretty picture though.

You should probably think more about why Ashley Biden's diary is something you guys obsess about. Kinda fucked up to even leak and publish it. 

So tell me Einstein,  why would the FBI raid journalists homes over a diary, that they admit wasn't even stolen? Hmmmm
