Bad Ad.


By Sniffles

Joe Biden put out a powerful statement today that basically reminded America that Benedict Donald is the same guy who took out this 1989 ad against the (later proven innocent) Central Park Five.

Thirty-one years later, the nation knows that the ad was a piece of crap, and so is the person who paid for it. Problem is, that person is the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. And just like back in the day, he's tossing gasoline on a national fire — and now, armed yahoos in pickup trucks flying Trump flags are heading into places like Portland, Oregon, to shoot people.

"What does President Trump think will happen when he continues to insist on fanning the flames of hate and division in our society and using the politics of fear to whip up his supporters?" Biden asked. "The job of the President is to lower the temperature... Donald Trump has been President for almost four years. The temperature in the country is higher, tensions run stronger, divisions run deeper. And all of us are less safe because Donald Trump can't do the job of the American President."

Expect more of this tomorrow, when Biden travels to Pennsylvania for a speech — or maybe we should say, when Biden holds an event and continues to act more like a President that the cretin who currently is.

We all just have to hang on until we can end this nightmare on November 3. In the meantime, in the words of a favorite tweep: "This [statement] is exactly right by Biden. It's also exactly what polls show most Americans think, and only people who spend too much time on [social media] don't realize this. Fortunately for Democrats, Biden is not one of them and consistently speaks for the country instead of Twitter." We cats PURR.
