Oh… just found out that the plan has nothing to do with Austin’s credentials. Apparently, Austin was just picked because he was along some walk that Biden was instructed to do.

News of the nomination emerged ahead of a meeting between Mr Biden, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and civil rights groups on Tuesday. Rev Al Sharpton, the civil rights activist, said the decision was "a step in the right direction but not the end of the walk".

I bet Mr Austin felt good about that comment.

W… w…w… b…b…b…but he’s a voice of reason and respectability in the prog’s favorite news organization. I was just trying to be inclusive and thought the progs here would respect me more if I gave Sharpton a voice here. But … wait… you arnt… nm.

So you have nothing. Zero.
Love the deflection though. Its good for a chuckle. “Progs” - Is that the new word AM radio keeps tossing around? Is it like prog rock? Do we have some King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Rush?

Al Sharpton is just a person with an opinion. And you posted that. Congrats.

So amplitude modulation gets your goat? Ha. Well 1) I don’t have an AM broadcast radio in the house and I’ve worked from home almost this entire year. 2) when occasionally on the road, I primarily listen to SiriusXM, which used quadrature phase shift keying digital technology and not direct amplitude modulation of audio signals; 3) I do listen to Rush on AM about 30 minutes every 6 months or so though. Rush stuck with AM in respect to his fan base. You see… it’s like the people’s radio. Inexpensive, long distance, no frills. It is not for the elitists. It would just sound like static to progs. Maybe that’s the real reason Rush uses it… kinda like stealth communications…a poor man’s spread spectrum CDMA. Progs only hear noise.

But I don’t recall him using the word. I think one of my comrads here introduced me to it.

Its the people’s radio yet you listen to SiriusXM.
I guess you ain’t one of the peoples?

Ahhh… keep trying. Rush is not on all the time. So I have to resort to satellite radio to hear the political talk. I don’t have a TV either so, to me, MSNBC is “talk radio” too.

Maybe he’ll do better against the next JV team.

And I’m sure you never once thought of Donald Trump as President-elect or referred to him as such until Congress approved the electoral vote in January 2017.

“Why of course…of course I didn’t” reply in 3…2…1…

Sadly, Mark Levin is embarrassing himself.

Here’s from HIS show (11/22/16 – Mark Levin Audio Rewind | WLS-AM 890 | WLS-AM) calling Trump “President-elect” on November 22, 2016, WELL before Congress said he was.

If only she had correctly called him a kid sniffer and a racist in the primaries, we might just have our first Native American VP.

I already did. You wanted to take a side comment about Pocahontas and have a conversation about it, then complain when it happened. Good job.

Talking about why Warren is planning to vote against a waiver for Loyd is having a discussion.

This is lazy ass ■■■■ that doesn’t do anything.

More like, hearing oneself talk out the left side while patting oneself on the right side, desperately needing that last word. lol

Yep, the commanding officer while ISIS ran wild. A fitting pick for the kid sniffer’s middle east policy. lol

great. we’ll be in a new war by 2021

i’m sure it will be an existential threat that is generational and cannot be won on the battlefield but must be fought. maybe we can even find some little brown people to fight it for us while we lead from the back.

Along with a ■■■■ economy. It’ll be just like old times for the establishment-loving left.

Mark Levin referred to Trump as President-elect in a tweet on November 9th of 2016 after the media called the election for Trump.
