Their divisive rhetoric was couched in mashed potatoes but still there.
Karl Rove: "Biden gave a very good speech BUT there were no memorable lines like Lincoln, or Kennedy had". (give me a fuckin break)
If the primary sources of info for those who are in the Cult or believe all the lies don't change their reporting & opinion shows and focus on honesty, nothing, NOTHING will change.

(9,998 posts)Why not compare Biden's speech to the Gettysburg Address as well?

(906 posts)In another January, on New Years Day in 1863, Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. When he put pen to paper, the president said, and I quote, if my name ever goes down into history, itll be for this act. And my whole soul is in it.
I believe that is a reference to Lincoln.
He also referenced George Washington

Nuts?
Just looked online. Market cap for Fox Corporation is $18 billion. Revenues for 2020 were $12 billion. Chump change for Bezos.
After all, how many companies has Bezos, Zuckerberg et al bought for the sole purpose of shutting them down or acquiring the technology and then absorbing them into the mother ship?

PS. I do realize this will never come to pass.

(9,137 posts)This was the 59th inaugural. I can only think of four memorable lines from ANY of them.
Lincoln (second): With malice toward none. With charity for all.
FDR (first): The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself.
Kennedy: Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.
Trump: American carnage ends right here. And it ends right now.
Thats all I can come up with from memory, and Trump is only memorable because it was, as G W Bush said, some weird shit.
So fuck off, Rove.
