Filtering by Tag: Joe Biden
Biden used his State of the Union address to call for “Americans to get back to work and fill our great downtowns again.” First of all, this is insulting.

And those of us who thought we were smart turned out to be the stupid ones: We naïvely thought that everyone had enough brain cells to dismiss absurd conspiracies out of hand. We overestimated their intelligence. But they didn’t overestimate ours.
Read MoreYou might say it’s a war between Republicans and Democrats, or conservatives and liberals, and in large measure, that’s true. But at the heart of it, it’s a war between reality and denial. Nearly half the country has been sold a bill of goods by Donald Trump and his cronies. But they don’t want to admit they’ve been swindled — because it would involve admitting they’re the worst thing in Trumpworld: losers and suckers.
