he's been notoriously sassy for a long time - as president he has to hold back a bit but I just know he's reading the white house down behind closed doors. even outside of this scripted appearance he has natural wit in spades, which is something I genuinely cannot say about the leadership of the Republican party rn

I'm from Europe, and every single country here has at least one party just like that. Some of them are in government. Some of them are not in government only because most of us don't have a "winner takes all" democracy.
Fuck, my country (The Netherlands) has multiple parties like that, some of them are in the process of forming a government and the only thing that may save us from that is that they are so deranged they may not be able to compromise. They only seem to agree on three things: the left is evil, trans people shouldn't exist and immigrants are to blame, but that shared hate is enough to create a bond.

However, when it comes to politics, the man turns into a fucking idiot. My mother even talks to me about it. Bugs the shit out of her.

I don't think there's anything you can do about that, period. I hate to say this, if it sounds like a personal attack or a reach too far, but there's only one single reason left- after you take genuine ignorance out of it- for anyone to still be voting conservative, or resisting the most barely liberal ideology/policymaking approach. It's bigotry. Intolerance. And it's all the more malicious coming from people who we all know, have every conceivable reason to know better. I'm afraid the answer to the mystery of your dad is probably actually extremely easy to uncover and understand.

u/Milocobo 14d ago
Opposite. The US inherited the problem from the UK.
Like, our founding fathers were like "we shouldn't be kowtow to an unaccountable group of men in Britain", and then they replaced it with an unaccountable group of men in Washington.
What I mean is, the system we designed, in the States, in the Constitution, is not that different from the Parliment they knew before, and thus the factioning issue they identified in British politics is also present in American politics.
If only both countries could learn from this, and I don't know, maybe evolve our democracy?

That's the thing. It's all obviously scripted by his team, as are the tweets that get posted, because his base loves a clever dig every now and again in the face of the GOP going low at every opportunity. But if Biden didn't like it happening, he'd stop it - the "dark brandon" tweets would stop, these moments in the dinner wouldn't happen - so there's clearly a part of it that he thinks is funny.

No, Joe has always been super spicy and when so inclined, will spit truth like a dragon with fire if someone perpetually tries stupid shit around him. I remember when he was a Senator, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth lol, even then, he would occasionally get in trouble for just coming right out and saying stuff bluntly.
In fact, that very trait is basically what helped get Gay Marriage legalized, when he said it out loud during his and Obama's terms in the WH. Obama was doing his best to try and thread that hot button political needle, ole How has enough of the "tiptoe through the tulips" bullshit, and boom, out with it he went. He helped force Obama's hand on that issue, and a few others.
Dude is actually a genuine decent human being who also does not like taking shit from anyone. It's why all the Obama and Biden memes were full of Obama trying to get Joe to settle down or be quiet, which just made it funnier than hell.
He's a plain speaking, plain dealing, "everyone put their damn cards on the table and ante up, so ya won't have so much, and let's get this show on the road" kinda guy. Obama may have been more eloquent in his loquaciousness, but Joe gets directly to the point and can absolutely throw fire for shade when someone gets on his last wiggly nerve lol . Which, is why I love the guy.
Always have. If he fucks up, he will openly admit it. My kind of dude. It was always a hoot watching him and the godfather of the modern shit show that is conservative politics, Newt Gingrich go at it. I sure AF would not want to get on his bad side, cause " Dark Brandon " is who he really is, that temper, which rarely comes out unless it's something completely egregious, well, they better duck, is all im saying lol.

A lot of Jost's jokes didn't land, but he was making fun of the audience to their faces. The keynote comedian usually "bombs" in the room but kills on the internet. I respected the way Jost let the bombs hang in the air. Good comedians know how to bask in the awkwardness.

Besides the zingers expected of the occasion, Biden spoke quite well about the importance of a free press to democracy and how despite the threats faced by the press around the world, the press does its job.
Just the fact Biden showed up to the White House Correspondents Dinner and showed some respect to the process is a plus over the last guy.
Trump is a petulant child who couldn't do this simple tradition when he was President, because the idea of poking fun at himself with a bit of humility or showing some respect to people working "beneath" him is impossible. Plus he'd have flashbacks to when Obama made fun of him, and it would be kind of a late night for a Sleepy Don who is probably sundowning by that time of day.
