Black jobs came up in Biden speech. Fox cut it off there.

What is a 'black job'?

This is why the rest of the world thinks you're weird.

It's a clip from Biden's speech to the NAACP. He's pointing out the Trump likes to say "black jobs." The full quote (the last sentence was cut off by Fox News):
Of course, there's what he thinks of "black jobs." I love his phrase "black jobs." Tells a lot about the man and about his character. Folks, I know what a "black job" is. It's the vice president of the United States. It’s the first black president of the United States - Barack Obama!

Eh, that’s just olfactory fatigue.
The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,

he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these

a good chance for newspaper men to shine?

Yeah, but in the end we're all really just upset that everyone's heard every thing bad about Trump and it wasn't enough. One more bad story gets nothing. Hell, they're calling him a warrior now. We can't change them.

I've started thinking about it in terms of messed up families --ever seen one get better?

Oh no! Now there are more polls and millions of polled people than actual voters!

Watching Vance speak at the RNC. Some people in the crowd aren't clapping or smiling. Is there some hate for him?

They introduced Vance with a bit of country music. The country music folks re pretty much all MAGA. And the lyrics describe that fictional world that they think they are living in. The world of 1960. Where there were no gay cowboys.

I have pretty much put country on hold since Bush.

Hold the fuck on, hold the motherfucking fuck on a second… are people actually out there talking about a Trump win being “inevitable”?

You’re talking about the twice impeached, quadruply indicted, 34-times convicted, adjudicated rapist, business fraud who kept our national security secrets in his f’ng bathroom and wanted to see his VP hanged for not breaking democracy?

The sociopath who golfed while thousands of Americans were dying a day and asked about injecting bleach is some kind of fucking “given”?

The “dictator on day one” who said he could shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue and would inherit a Supreme Court that would actually let him? That guy’s winning is already written?

Really?

The child-separating racist who is promising detention camps and mass deportations?

The Putin puppet who’ll abandon NATO?

We’re just gonna surrender to that fucking guy and all the accompanying awful that comes with him?

Now? In JULY?!?

Because he’s got a pantyliner on his ear thanks to a twisted fuck who got his hands on a weapon we’ve all been trying to ban??

Are you fucking high?

Really? Yes, really. You've got some really stupid voters in your country. You better put up your best opponent to him.
