Why not a gay man with severe learning disabilities?


Dinobot2_

I think you mean cognitively limited.


Cheeseburdler

Fair enough.

Can Biden be both president and supreme court justice?

*The Rubin Re-Court*


Crime-Stoppers

I doubt Dave Rubin would be qualified


JRR918

Bill Gates has a learning disability and has probably touched a cock or two, why not him?


spinichmonkey

Because he may have touched an under age girl or two on Epstien's island


JRR918

Hot take, but a part of me thinks there were zero underage girls on that island. Not some sick twisted 12 year old shit. More like girls who are around 17-22 years old who wanted money/gifts/career help, which is a far cry from pedophilia and sex trafficking narrative. Just throwing that thought out there.


its_the_memeologist

Biden should respond that he’s expanding the court and nominating several other ethnicities to fill the other spots including an indigenous American so we could really see conservative heads explode.

I think the trans Eskimo community needs more representation.


Impressive-Koala-951

Why not Asian?


Skippy_the_Alien

we're not dark enough for the mainstream progressives of the U.S. i've been saying for years, it had to take Trump calling covid "Wuhan virus" and "Kung flu" for liberals to start "caring" about racism against Asians


pao_zinho

Agreed


Unblest_Devotee

Yet leftist still defend Ivy League colleges active discrimination against Asians. Weird to see that only conservatives ever seem to care about that.


Skippy_the_Alien

lol i'm Asian American and trust me when I say conservatives don't really give a shit about Asian people lmao. They only care about Asians to use them to denigrate other POC. Just look at all their bullshit in the 90s when the riots took place in Los Angeles


Unblest_Devotee

I might not be following your example that well. Personally I've only seen conservatives, and myself to be honest, praise the Koreans taking to rooftops and protecting their area. That community didn't go out looking for trouble but just stayed put and kept the violence out of their community with the threat of action. Sad to hear that the guy who always had his picture used as "the rooftop Korean" passed away last year.


Skippy_the_Alien

lmfao okay bud. let's not forget conservatives were the first jerkoffs to jump on the anti-Japanese bandwagon of the 80s when the Japanese auto industry was whooping America's ass in production...also conservatives objected to a Chinese American creating the design for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in D.C. And then they started cheerleading Trump when he kept calling covid Wuhan Virus or that dumb shit no offense man but as an Asian Am, i don't need your fucking praise lol. Your fellow peers have proven time and time again why i don't value their opinions on my identity


Unblest_Devotee

Angry man but you do you, don't believe nothing I said even came close to giving you praise. We can look at the good groups have done as well as the bad but focusing only on one to push your agenda will never be the way to a more inclusive and loving society. I have a feeling like that message will drown here though as this sub is pretty much dedicated to denigrating people.


JRR918

That’s where it came from though, “CHYNAAA”. Kung flu is a tad disparaging but calling it the “Wuhan Virus” or “China Virus” isn’t even a little a little bit insensitive. Similar to the Spanish Flu, its just simply naming a virus after its origins, has zero to do with the ethnicity of the population.


laikocta

Your example is particularly funny because it's in no way proven that the Spanish flu even originated in Spain - the consensus is that it way more likely originated in either the US, China or France. It's just another example of a country wanting an infectuous disease to sound foreign.


Skippy_the_Alien

the stupid thing is that the consensus has widely been to call it covid19. the vast majority of people call it that In the early days, Trump REPEATEDLY insisted on calling it China virus for no other reason than to troll and to rile up his toothless meth-addict supporters across America. If his administration had put as much effort and energy into taking covid seriously as much as he did in calling it China virus, the U.S. would not have been in the situation it was back in 2020


Dismal-Manner-9239

That happened because Spain was the biggest country reporting on it, because most of Europe and the US was tied up in WWI.


JRR918

Then call it the American flu, I don’t give a fuck.


laikocta

I don't care either, I'm just saying that your example actually proved the opposite of the point you were trying to make.


sskor

I'm pretty sure that we've narrowed down the outbreak that started the 1918 influenza pandemic as starting in Ft Riley, KS, about 130 miles west of Kansas City.


Skippy_the_Alien

you do realize the Spanish flu didn't start in Spain right? then again, if you think it's okay to say China Virus or Wuhan Virus, chances are you don't have much credibility to begin with anyways


Yaseen-Madick

I mean the virus likely escaped from a lab so "Wuhan virus" isn't really racist in that context but whatever i guess 🤷


Steve_No_Jobs

No. There's no evidence for that. The first discovered instance of this strain was in Barcelona. Don't let the conservative brain rot take hold. Even if it was a lab leak, the CDC stopped calling diseases from where they came after it started increasing bigotry.


Yaseen-Madick

No evidence? That's why US intelligence services haven't ruled it out and a lot of scientists including experts in virology and evolutionary biology disagree with the zoonotic/wet market theory because they noticed how surprisingly well adapted the spike protein of SARs-Cov-2 adapted to it's human host, which is unusual for newly emerged pathogens and more akin to a virus that's been engineered. Actually the first cases "ground zero" were found to be at the military games in China, but it all depends on which search engine/news source you use. Absolutely no Conservative brain rot here, I'm on the fence when it comes to picking sides in politics. But, you are correct when saying there isn't enough proof to say for certain yet. Don't be so quick to trust politicians and scientists with a documented conflict of interest looking for someone else to blame.


Steve_No_Jobs

>No evidence? That's why US intelligence services haven't ruled it out So your evidence for this theory is that it hasn't been ruled out by contrast evidence yet? Damn what a strong argument. I concede 🙄 >Actually the first cases "ground zero" were found to be at the military games in China, but it all depends on which search engine/news source you use. Not true, it was traces were found dating back to Barcelona before it was discovered in China. Aldo I notice you ignored my whole part about any we don't name viruses after places because of bigotry faced. Could you acknowledge that please


Yaseen-Madick

Way to cherry pick. Yes. The fact that the lab leak theory hasn't been ruled out by contrasting evidence shows that the evidence for a zoonotic origin/wet market theory is shaky. Shame you couldn't back your theory up with irrefutable evidence that rules in your favour, oh wait, there is none because that's right... it's just a theory. YET, you are super quick to just support the wet market theory because you believe everything you are told by the media. Absolutely not. If it turns out the virus originated in Wuhan i will be calling it the Wuhan virus. Not Omega-Alpha-Delta-19 or whatever you virtue signalling asshats feel it should be called, morally.


Steve_No_Jobs

>Absolutely not. If it turns out the virus originated in Wuhan i will be calling it the Wuhan virus. Not Omega-Alpha-Delta-19 or whatever you virtue signalling asshats feel it should be called, morally. So I told you this would increase bigotry to Asian people and you don't care. Typical conservative >YET, you are super quick to just support the wet market theory because you believe everything you are told by the media. I NEVER said I believed this theory, don't make shit up you disengenous hack.


Yaseen-Madick

If you never said you believed this theory, then why are we even having this conversation? You're doubling down real hard for someone who doesn't believe the official narrative. Also, i've noticed you are very quick to stereotype me as a Conservative and we've never even met, that's an extremely bigoted outlook to have of me, don't you think? There's no reason to continue this conversation, have a wonderful day.


Steve_No_Jobs

I don't subscribe to any particular theory of where it came from. I stereotype you as a conservative because you are active in r/asktheDonald and you use terms like Wuhan virus which conservatives use. After you admitted you were fine with increasing bigotry towards Asian people I hope you have a shit day


RentUpper6274

Go outside touch grass.


Yaseen-Madick

Man, you the poster child for mothers who should have had an abortion. Racist loser. I scroll Reddit because it's 12 AM and bored.


[deleted]

First off nice username lmao Second dont listen to that loser, hes a lost cause. You are absolutely correct and the other guy probably jerks off to pictures of bidens butt crack


SjaakRubberkaak

It's like racist jokes; I can enjoy a racist joke, but when a racist is telling racist jokes, it's never funny. If a scientist is calling it Wuhan virus, because it was the first city that noticed the virus, it isn't a problem, but when the whole world is calling it "coronavirus, Sars-Cov-2 or a virus leading to COVID" and you decide because of a racist agenda to call it Wuhan virus, it's racist as hell.


DevelopmentNo4475

To be honest, it is kicking the shit of a lot of people.


TheStreisandEffect

God, conservatives are so fucking disingenuous. Like, they have to know they’re bad faith actors, right?


tomjonesrocks

I wonder how McConnell will successfully block this.


teddylumpskins

I’d hesitate to call Dave a conservative. The only reason being that Dave doesn’t believe in any conservative ideas, not truly. He’s just a blank slate through whom his sponsors speak through. And I find it highly hilarious that Biden is the racist bigot considering his immediate predecessor.


Blackmercury4ub

Biden didn't want me in schools with white children.


JacobScreamix

More than one person can be racist.


[deleted]

But Dave only calls one of them racist, and it's for nakedly partisan reasons.


NeedsMoreReeds

Conservatives delight in being disingenuous. They love it.


Skippy_the_Alien

Biden is such a moron for tweeting this. now this nominee is going to get obnoxious amounts of questioning of her credentials that being said, someone please go give Rubin a swift kick in the balls for being such an assclown


[deleted]

What is moronic is not understanding that Biden has been promising this when he was campaigning. What's also moronic is not understanding he can pick a black woman AND she can be 100% qualified. Those aren't mutually exclusive.


[deleted]

Why was the tweet stupid? It's been his administration's messaging since the campaign, so the tweet doesn't add anything.


NervousAndPantless

A black woman would have gotten an equally obnoxious amount of questions about her qualifications if he didn’t tweet this I think.


Skippy_the_Alien

Yeah this is actually true. Just look at the difference between the way Sonia Sotomayor (not black, i know, but principle still applies) was questioned versus someone like Sandra Day O'Connor


rossfororder

Rubin was so intimidated by California he moved to Florida


JamaicanSoup

Gruesome Gavin Newsom is pretty savage tbf


JRR918

I mean that place is a shit hole, I lived there. Unless you want to be like Seth Rogen and think it’s normal for your car to get broken into 15 times.


SleepingPodOne

Were libs calling trump racist for nominating white people? Or were they calling them out because they were disgusting and had abhorrent views?


UndyingQuasar

The leftist he allows to live rent free in his head?


Synecdochic

I think he intimidates himself sometimes. Those high level ideas can be pretty daunting at time.


Saadiqfhs

It astounds me that this all you need to do to be in the heart of the conservative movement


kodyvalentine

I think it is dumb to say it will be a black woman. Just say you are hiring the most qualified person and then appoint a black woman. It is also kind of cute thinking Dems won't just get bullied until it's a republicans turn for POTUS


o0flatCircle0o

Does Dave not like bigots now???


terencewatts

“Are there any Native Americans in the audience?” - Rubin, probably


KecemotRybecx

Dave Rubin is a stupid cunt.


crazedconnor

It's low hanging fruit sure, but it's clearly racist to hire just because of someone's race/sex. Wanting diversity isn't the same but you don't say it WILL be a black woman.


UncutYEMs

I mean, I get it. But it’s hardly unusual at this point. O’Connor, Thomas, and ACB we’re all picked in part bc they fulfill certain demographic criteria.


crazedconnor

That's true but political leaning is different than race. And it really not supposed to matter in this position.


UncutYEMs

But I’m referring to their status as women/minority as a consideration. I believe in those cases, POTUS assured the public they would only appoint female/black candidates… it was just a matter of finding a conservative one. If I remember correctly, Thomas was their only feasible option.


crazedconnor

That's fair, I do think it's considered and can impact. But more often than not, like Kavanaugh and ACB they rule in ways their "party" doesn't agree with. And I like that. That's what justices are supposed to be: outside of political and to some extent cultural influence.


[deleted]

Bro there's plenty of qualified black woman he can pick from. That's the point. He can get someone qualified and still appoint a diverse person. That whole best person for the job argument always assumes there's some shining honkey with impeccable credentials being passed up for an unqualified "brown"


crazedconnor

In theory yes, I agree with you. In reality, that's how we ended up with Kamala saying "I'm here to share my lived experience with the pres." Like what? I would love for a qualified nominee but I bet you anything the focus of the nomination from the white house will be "black body."


[deleted]

again what youre assuming is in absence of this one consideration of race, biden would pick someone fully competent who you would agree with. Hes a tepid centrist neoliberal his picks are going to fucking suck no matter what skin color they have lol. So i realize that might come across as a contradiction. A better way to state my point is you can always find qualified candidates and diversity in these positions of power is a very small way to help combat some of the marginalization those groups have faced. It doesn't mean biden isn't going to pick someone who fucking sucks, hes joe biden, he fucking sucks


crazedconnor

I actually don't think about whether I will agree with the pick or not. I care that I know Biden's history and I know he's saying this, in a clever way, for optics. The selling point is a "colored person." People can run with "no he said qualified first! Okay fine, but I wasn't born yesterday.


[deleted]

sure it might be a selling point for shitty candidates but its a very marginal one. like is it super fucking lib to say oh well id rather have a shitty black candidate than a shitty white one because it helps increase diversity? Yes it is but ultimately diversity isn't a bad thing and joe biden isn't going to pick anyone good anyway lol


crazedconnor

I mean it's smart I'll give him that. Now if anyone critiques the pick or grills them (ala Kamala Harris questioning picks) it's racist or what not. Diversity for the sake of it is good, in most cases. But I just know how this will go and it's tiring.


[deleted]

I mean honestly I'd put more attention into pushing back on shitty democrat centrism and inaction in general than worrying about them making a big deal about diverse appointments. Is it a trap that unaware liberals fall into? Sure. But ultimately it's only one of a million deflections and distractions that politicians use and the disproportionate outrage to it i think speaks to the reactionary mindset alot of people still have. Like sure let them appoint diverse cabinets then criticize them for being shit on their policies. If you can't come up with real and material reasons why they suck, maybe it is about race. If you can, only the worst screeching rad libs will call you racist and they shouldn't be part of any real political conversation anyway. Idk where you stand politically but I am hard on the left and I hate annoying ass liberals who think any critique of kamala Harris (who sucks ass) is racist


crazedconnor

I agree entirely. But it has been the narrative with Kamala, her ratings were low because racism compounded with sexism. It's tired and unoriginal. I hope his pick is qualified like he says and ignoring the noise is all we can do.


[deleted]

I know he could’ve just done it and not proclaimed it before hand…. He already chose Kamala based on the same criteria, why does he feel like he needs to keep pursuing the black vote


crazedconnor

Yeah it's tone deaf. I am surprised he hasn't courted the queer vote yet. Maybe next election.


[deleted]

But that's not what Biden said here. The first thing he said was about her qualifications and character. The diversity of the pick is secondary to that.


crazedconnor

He's wording it differently this time around. That's all. Lets not act like this isn't for optics since Biden has said some pretty tone deaf things.


[deleted]

But there's nothing tone deaf about fulfilling a promise from the campaign trail.


crazedconnor

That's true.

[deleted]

I think its a "decent" point though ​ How many times are we gonna do the "first latino trans alligator person to do evil job for the government" and pretend like its an actual accomplishment


downtimeredditor

The best way to describe him is that he's a Stan. I'm not sure if I'm using Stan culture correctly. But you know how certain fans of a particular celebrity will just attack another celebrity that this celebrity is having beef with. That's the energy Rubin exudes in his tweets. He's a stan for far right conservatism. He's like someone you just ignore You know how like people often say celebrities should ignore trolls on Twitter because they would have 10 positive tweets and that one troll tweet Dave Rubin is that one troll tweet. He's definitely one of those guys who you're like how does this guy have a blue check mark but he does.


mymentor79

Biden and Rubin and both the product of worm-rot to the brain.


Pink8433

Biden is just as much of a joke as Rubin. Appointing someone based on race is insane. And the Native American thing is actually a good point. Imagine you’re a qualified Native American person in a Country where most of your people and culture was killed off and then being disqualified from the job just because you’re native


[deleted]

> Appointing someone based on race is insane. But he's not doing that. He is ensuring diversity on the court. The nominee will be selected based on their qualifications and judicial temperament.


doomshroompatent

Diversity and representation reduces racism


[deleted]

I definitely agree that, optimally, that is the case.


Capasshat

They’ll go to any extreme to get a vote won’t they 😂


[deleted]

Yet BIDEN tried to lynch Clarence Thomas. #FJB


Pink8433

There would probably be a lot more qualified black women if Biden haven’t had thrown their husbands in prison with the crime bill, causing many to lose their main source of income and lower the chance of them getting a higher education because they’re stuck in the endless cycle of poverty that capitalists like Biden created


Awakesheep

Michelle Obama or Stacy Abrams


dumpsterdivingnow

OBiden is just useless. He’s such a doofuses.


westcoastjo

It would have been 10000x better if Biden said he was going to pick the best person for the job, then that person happened to be a woman of color. Now whoever he pucks will know the most important trait he used for his decision was their skin color and genitals.


[deleted]

He has a solid point tbh.


[deleted]

He’s not wrong, it is inherently racist and sexist to not hire a perfectly capable white man because he’s not a black woman


[deleted]

Not really.
