He also thinks Trump shouldn’t be removed from any ballot under the 14th amendment, so why do we care about his insight?

If democrats had any intent of keeping him off the ballot they would have charged him with something by now. They need him as a viable villain to keep voters in line and scared.

The guy who biden told, in an interview, "if you vote for Trump, you ain't black" or whatever it was biden said

Keep in mind, Biden has a long history of not being on the right side of progress as far as civil rights and equality is concerned. For example in the seventies, he voted against bussing to desegregate schools, and voted in support of segregation. Also, he voted against the right to gay marriage in the 90's and was anti-abortion until some one in his presidential campaign and explained how outdated his politics really are.

Oh. also, he chaired the comittee that "interviewed" Anita Hill when her accusations of sexual harassment against Clarence Thomas went public (and just before they went public- when he knew full well the contents of her interviews and affidavits with the FBI said something to the effect of "Nobody disagrees that Clarence THomas is a man of character"

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Charlamagne Tha God broke out in laughter after being asked if he agreed with First Lady Jill Biden - who boldy said that her 81-year-old husband has the vigor and energy to serve a second presidental term.

The first lady was asked if she had any concerns over Joe's health as he heads towards the 2024 election - giving the firm answer: 'He can do it.'

The Breakfast Club host has been a thorn in the side of the Biden administration, often criticizing the presidents comments and history on race in American.

While guest hosting the Daily Show in December, Charlamagne said the 'ultimate Christmas gift' would be President Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 race and pleaded with him not to make the same mistake as Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

This comes as Biden's job approval rating has dropped to a low for any president in the past 15 years, according to a poll published Monday.

It makes him less popular that Donald Trump, his likely presidential election opponent, who hit 36 percent approval at the lowest ebb of his time in office.


The original article contains 796 words, the summary contains 182 words. Saved 77%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

'Personally, I don't see that vigor. And I don't think a lot of other Americans see that vigor anyway.'

Charlamagne Tha God continued: 'I think the thing that should scare everybody is when you look across the aisle, and you see a guy that's got 91 criminal charges, he's been impeached twice, he's got four indictments… how are you losing to that guy?'

He went on to question whether Kamala Harris - with Biden - is still a viable Democrat pairing for the ticket this year.

He added: 'That's really the conversation- is Joe Biden and Kamala Harris still a winnable ticket? I think Republicans should be asking themselves that, too. Is Donald Trump still a winnable ticket?'

You're at least consistent with your agenda-posting, I'll give you that, OP.

[-] return2ozma@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago

What's my agenda? It's a political channel. I post political news articles in it.
