Chances are you've already seen this tweet. It's gone viral many times. Back in October, months before we knew about COVID, Biden pointed out we're not prepared for a pandemic. He was absolutely right. But I also wondered to myself: what did Trump tweet that day? (thread) Image
Trump tweeted or RT'd 47 times that day. Here was his first tweet of the day: mocking Reps @TimRyan and @ericswalwell for dropping out of the presidential race. At 8:12am. Image
And then Rep. @TimRyan again three minutes later. Image

This is an excessively ridiculous thing to say. The clip is from the early-2000s when the GOP was pushing an amendment to ban same-sex marriage, when upwards of 60% of voters opposed same-sex marriage. Biden + Dems smartly used DOMA as a rationale to deflect + block it. (1/3)
If the amendment had passed the House and Senate and been signed by Bush, it would have stood a decent chance of passing the required number of state legislatures to be ratified over the next several years, esp. given the unpopularity of same-sex marriage at the time.
So, Dems did the shit work of blocking the amendment by saying DOMA is enough until the electorate could catch up. Then, in 2012, in the middle of a tough reelection campaign, with the country split on the issue, Biden got out front + became the first national leader to endorse.

"Borat 2" might be the most clever feminist movie in recent memory. I love that people who are watching it are clearly enjoying it and then going: "Wait... is this... is this feminist?"
I do think a lot of "satire" isn't nearly as insightful or interrogating as it pretends to be. "Borat 2" somehow takes a lot of shock humor and turns it on its head in a way that makes you ask questions about everyone in the film; it provokes interrogation, even while laughing.
Like... I honestly wish literally anyone would make a film with this kind of verve and accessibility on trans issues -- that viewers would enjoy themselves and ask questions about gender identity that the satire guides them in. I don't know that would look, but I wish it existed.

This is, of course, thoroughly embarrassing on the part of members of the press.
The non-story was confirmed to be a non-story and a smear attack, but instead of readjusting and just saying that, they're pretending it's all still up in the air and they're just doing a public service. Give me a break.
And then to have the audacity to compare Biden finally pushing back to Trump's attacks on the press? Please, grow up.

"Traditional marriage and family, based on marriage between one man and one woman, is the foundation for a free society and has for millennia been entrusted with rearing children and instilling cultural values."

-- 2016 Republican Party Platform

Hey @RichardGrenell, this you?
"In Obergefell, five unelected lawyers robbed 320 million Americans of their legitimate constitutional authority to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman."

-- 2016 + 2020 Republican Party Platform, upon which @RichardGrenell's boss campaigned

Fun times!
"The data and the facts lead to an inescapable conclusion: Every child deserves a married mom and dad."

Holy shit, @RichardGrenell, did you see this part of the 2016 and 2020 Republican Party Platform? Any thoughts?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but women don't need children to have worth and a family doesn't need children to be a family.

Actually... I do know who needs to hear that.
What if being a mother were a voluntary and respected facet of a woman's life that was independent of her professional standing? What if some conservatives weren't obsessed with attempting to pit women against each other based on whether or not they have children?
What if children were generally treated as a blessing for those who want children instead of a wedge issue to be exploited by itemizing them as one might credentials on a resume?
