What's the story for Brandon using this word anyways? I was a teenager in 1985 and even then, very very seldom did I ever hear anyone say that word. That was a serous taboo word when I was a kid in the 80's, at least where I'm from (San Francisco Bay Area). It wasn't even mentioned in rap songs back then, I know because I used to listen to rap songs back then.
In case you decided not to read the link, Biden was quoting someone else from a transcript during Congressional hearings in 1985. Do you think he should have substituted it for some other word? That's what activists are trying to assert. I don't think substituting words is necessary or recommended when quoting official transcripts, but you may feel differently.
The moment Brandon and his horde of wokies come out and say, "Ya know what. Our bad. The one thing that trumps diversity and equity is Left Wing politics" - then I'll take your intellectually dishonest argument seriously.
The laden phrase “identity politics” has come to signify a wide range of political activity and theorizing founded in the shared experiences of injustice of members of certain social groups. Rather than organizing solely around belief systems, programmatic manifestos, or party affiliation, identity political formations typically aim to secure the political freedom of a specific constituency marginalized within its larger context. Members of that constituency assert or reclaim ways of understanding their distinctiveness that challenge dominant characterizations, with the goal of greater self-determination.

And your "excuses" for Trump is center around the fact that "times were different"... which is pretty much what Biden defenders are saying here.
And the fact of the matter is that it's true.
However, in Biden's case in 1985 quoting people using the N word was not a breach of etiquette. It is now days.
In Trump's case, ignoring civil rights housing law was fairly routine back then. It's not now.
A 'no fault settlement' in no way means guilty. All it means is that even if innocent it's far cheaper to pay a settlement than to continue on with a lengthy and expensive court case.
There were black people living in the building, who had let them in?
What is utterly stupid is to bring this up, which proves absolutely nothing other than proving that those who bring it up are grasping at straws...because they have nothing. at all.
I say fire him as he’s still breathing. He is woefully inept in his ability to conduct our affairs, for that, he has to go. I can’t wait until the republican congress impeach him repeatedly for walking his dog.
Never heard of a POTUS being fired. Who would fire them? Pretty clear from Joe's past that he is a racist of the worst kind. How he ever got Dr Jill to marry him is beyond me.

Congress can vote to impeach a President and senate has to vote on it. Clinton was impeached for lying under oath which he was later disbarred, Trump was impeached for the alleged now debunked Russian collusion and on a word of he said, she said, but no personal witnesses.
The senate obviously didn’t vote to remove either President.
