Yeah, he put his foot in his mouth, I have to agree. Oh, wait. He apologized later that same day. Couldn’t work that into the toon Lester? Gosh, a presidential contender who admits mistakes and apologizes. That’s refreshing!
Trump never expected he’d win. The campaign was only to promote the Trump brand to be paid for the use of his name on future hotels and other buildings around the world. He had no fireworks planned, no victory speech prepared, no choices made for potential cabinet members or advisors. It backfired on him, the GOP and worse yet the American people who believe in Democracy and the Constitution. Where is the video of Trump’s election night victory as the results came on the TV? What was the response of Mrs. Trump and Mrs. Pence? What was the reaction by Trump? The reaction by the GOP leadership in Congress and those who had run against him in the primary election had nothing good to say about him. Now he became their village idiot and they needed to say they would make him act like a real president. He’d be too busy to tweet or play golf, etc.
This old Vietnam era vet (same age as Trump) has seen enough of the damage he’s caused and the GOP with no spine to remove him. Enough already.
Mr. Lester has six months of shoveling bovine byproduct to go. He will get to where he will recycle the cartoon by changing the texts. We can start referring to him as “Tiresome Lester”.
“VP Biden’s statement today represents the, arrogant and out-of-touch attitude of a paternalistic white candidate who has the audacity to tell Black people, the descendants of slaves,”
Statement by Robert L. Johnson, founder of Black Entertainment Television “that they are not Black unless they vote for him. This proves unequivocally that the Democratic nominee believes that Black people owe him their vote without question; even though,
“we as Black people know it is exactly the opposite. He should spend the rest of his campaign apologizing to every Black person he meets.”
This is essentially a “Freudian slip”. It reveals the very core of Joe’s attitude towards black voters. An attitude deeply ingrained in a large part of the older Democrat party players.
Joe believes that the Dems essentially “own” the black vote. He believes that blacks need welfare, entitlements and other assistance to be “equal”. That blacks should vote Democrat because it is the left who will feed them and throw them some bones every 2 years at election time.
British musician Roger Waters, a founding member of Pink Floyd, said he was “gobsmacked” by the actions of the Democratic National Committee and said Joe Biden is “such a f***ing slimeball.”
Biden is being unjustly attacked for racial insensitivity. He previously opposed a racist federal policy because it was ’"a rejection of the entire black awareness concept, where black is beautiful, black culture should be studied; and the cultural awareness of the importance of their own identity, their own individuality."
The Federal policy he opposed so eloquently was commonly known as “busing”.
He’s absolutely not my favorite candidate. But in a long tradition which has been set aside only three times in my life, I will as usual be voting against the even worse candidate.
Saw this the other day:
VOTE CTHULU (We’ve been voting for the lesser evil far too long)!
Do you think Biden will take out newspaper ads to apologize like Trump did in The Central Park Five case? Oh that’s right he still hasn’t apologized. How about Trump’s birther campaign on Obama. But blacks should vote for Trump? Please………………………
This Biden remark reminds me of the time I was scolded by the progressive left for not considering to vote for Obama. In 2008, I wrote on my blog a funny post about my dilemma on whom to vote for because I didn’t like the choices. My readers berated and accused me of being a traitor to my race (Filipino) for not choosing Obama. It surprised me and I was taken aback. I’m actually grateful to them because they opened my mind and eyes and I have voted only conservative Republican party candidates since then.
Whatevs… he could have said the same sentence with WOMAN instead of BLACK and he would still be right. How any minority supports the resident is beyond me…
That has to be about the dumbest statement I’ve ever heard from any politician! But to get Trump out of office, right now I’d settle for “Bozo The Clown”! Or Popeye the Sailor!

Well Lester, we have our choice. A man who has been known to make a clumsy joke, or a man who has lived his life as a clumsy joke.

Yes Lester, we know, Biden says stupid things. And then there is Trump, who does stupid things.
Of the two, I’ll take Biden. His stupid can be fixed. Trump’s is terminal.
