I was going to put it on FB, but then I wouldn't be anonymous, so I would try it out here first. I thought it was funny, maybe in a bad way. But it didn't seem that Trump understood Biden was being sarcastic. I thought that was funny.
I wasn't sure Biden had the wit to be sarcastic like that. More like he really is that deep in his confusion he believed, for a transient neurological misfiring, that it was Lincoln he was talking to,.
No doubt his handlers handed him that line for laughs, picking up on Trump's Stump Speech about how he's done more for the Blacks than any President except Lincoln.
Actually, Lincoln was a sort of Mormon sort of frontier racist. The Mormons didn't believe in slavery at all, and made their slaveholding converts free their slaves before being baptized. Lincoln was a Biblical sort of believer who was absolutely abolitionist. The Mormons believed the natives were a chosen people, Lincoln remarked about his service in the Blackhawk war with a sort of view that justified the frontier push and didn't acknowledge the basic humanity of the natives.
Joseph Smith recommended the federal government should buy all the slaves and set them free. At a fair, taxpayer-swubsized generous price. That would have been a good deal, as good as any Trump deal. Smith was pragmatic enough for the time to also recommend that the blacks be given a State of their own, like the Cherokees/Indians in Oklahoma I suppose.
Lincoln was noticed by Eastern bankers who were in cahoots with British bankers in a plan to divide the country. To do that, they needed a stupid redneck with sufficiently inflammatory rhetoric to drive the South into Secession. They figured they could just manipulate the backwoods rube and get their split without much trouble.
But it turned out the backwoods rube could at least see that unless the States could survive as one country, they'd be unable to exert any further expansion, and maybe not even survive. A plum ripe to be plucked by the British.
It was a close call, but we not only owe Lincoln for our nation and our liberty, but for our national destiny as a world class leader.
And yes, e=m. the poem is pretty bad.
You need to get the news from somewhere else. CNN isn't giving you any facts.
Brietbart, maybe.
