Remember, the Secretary of Labor who's currently under fire for cutting a deal with an alleged pedophile and serial rapist is only the Secretary of Labor because Trump's *original* nominee for Secretary of Labor had to withdraw over allegations that he had abused his ex-wife.
Also, remember that the 2016 RNC Finance Chairman who's been accused of multiple counts of rape is different from the 2016 RNC Deputy Finance Chairman who paid for a Playmate's abortion and different from the *other* 2016 RNC Deputy Finance Chairman who is now in prison.
Also, the state chairman of Trump's 2016 campaign in Kentucky who later pleaded guilty to child sex trafficking is different from the state chairman of Trump's 2016 campaign in Oklahoma who also later pleaded guilty to child sex trafficking.
Also, those Trump campaign officials who pleaded guilty to child sex trafficking are different from Trump's old friend who was denied bail for child sex trafficking charges yesterday and Trump's associate who was just arrested for child sex trafficking today.

My trash cans can’t be racist either, but if I repeatedly dump my garbage on my black neighbors’ yard because they’re black, that is racist.
The same people who have been saying “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” nonstop for decades are somehow baffled by “highways aren’t racist, but highway planners can be racist”
Also, this argument suggests that federal policy was once not “woke” and perhaps even racist and, huh, I wonder if there’s a theory to analyze that

In 1922, Klan leaders (including N.B. Forrest) announced plans for a new University of America.

They said the new college would focus on teaching Christianity and a history that promoted "Americanism," in order to explain to students how "this is a white man's country."
Almost exactly a century ago -- from the Atlanta Constitution (2/5/1922)
Oh Lord, that's right -- the site they're discussing here is now a synagogue.

Twitter aside, I'm going to go with the time we went to Nobu for my birthday and David Hasselhoff was VERY LOUDLY holding court at the table next to us.
I was @kaj33’s faculty host when he got an honorary degree. I had all these questions about his activism but the seating arrangement meant I didn’t get a chance to talk much. When I did, I panicked and asked about the book tour he was on: “so, I guess you’ve been flying a lot?”
The nicest celebrities were probably @CobieSmulders and @TaranKillam, who we sat next to at the @iamsambee Not the WHCD event. Very nice, very normal, swapped kid pics. My only regret was not raving about TK’s Drunk History episode.

(Sam Bee, also nice as hell. Just great.)

Honestly, I don't even know where to begin with this one.
For all the article's claims that historians thought Biden would be another FDR, there's a link to a Doris Kearns Goodwin interview and ... that's it.
The take on the New Deal is wrong -- FDR wasn't laser focused on economic issues alone, but had programs for conservation, public power, the arts, etc. from the start.

If you’re wondering why this ad never mentions what the scary book was that she wanted to ban or what course it was used in, well, it was Toni Morrison’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel Beloved and the class was senior-year AP English.
If you think your high school senior can’t handle college-level novels in a college-credit course, maybe he shouldn’t take Advanced Placement English?
A lot of people are embarrassed for her son, but (unless I’m mistaken) he seems to be a 27-year-old Republican Party lawyer so he’s probably fine with all this?

Hey, it looks like Ted Cruz has nothing better to do than respond to three-day-old tweets.

Must be nice to have that kind of free time with no responsibilities and nothing going on in the world.

Well, let's dig in!
First of all, no, "there is no Biden vaccine mandate" that's been put into effect yet.

Here's a news story about it yesterday. (Which I guess you'll get around to reading a couple days from now?)

You might not be aware that "next week" hasn't actually happened yet, but, uh ... it hasn't?

So, no, there is not currently a "Biden vaccine mandate" in place.
