Karoline Leavitt, speaking before the WHCA dinner:
“𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 at the room, so everyone should tune in — it’s going to be really great.”
That’s one hell of a coincidence, isn’t it? 😡
🖊️A lot (TOO MUCH) has been made of Joe Biden's age, so I wanted to share this with you.
🖊️It is from author Marilynne Robinson, a beautiful writer, who said this in an interview this weekend in the NYT.
🖊️It is lovely. It is brilliant. And it should be shared:
"Frankly, I’m less than a year younger than Joe Biden, so I believe utterly in his competence, his brilliance, his worldview. I really do. You have to live to be 80 to find this out: Anybody under 50 feels they’re in a position to condescend to you. You get boxed into this position where people who deal with you are making assumptions about your intellect. It’s very disturbing. Most people my age are just fine. What can I say? It’s a kind of good fortune that America is categorically incapable of accepting: that someone with a strong institutional memory, who knows how things are supposed to work, who was habituated to their appropriate functioning is president. I consider him a gift of God. All 81 years of him."
I am angry. I am disgusted. I am outraged. You should be too after watching #ExposingParchman on @AETV The question is... what will we do about it? This and every other prison.
@RobertJ77076558@ericareport There's no such finding as innocent. He was found not guilty. But also remember that not guilty is not the same as didn't do it.
I remember the Rodney King assault. I remember how many of us thought the footage would change everything, Finally there was “proof”. Now there’s footage everyday of police brutalizing us. This footage is in HD & often comes from the police. Nothing changes. #TyreNichols
Anyone wondering if it would take time for Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson to settle into a new job, the last few days should dispel any question. Her intelligence, preparation, and fearlessness are on full display. The Court has a formidable new presence. She’s not messing around.
