    Between the thuggish hyper-aggressive campus security and the prospect of listening to Jerry Seinfield talk, I’m surprised students even showed up.

    Duke admin 1: We need a commencement speaker…preferably a genocide denier and a pedo.

    Duke admin 2: Jerry Seinfeld is available

    Duke admin 1: Perfect!

    Probably how it went down.

    The White House said on Tuesday that Joe Biden welcomed peaceful protests at college commencement ceremonies where he and other administration officials will speak.

    Lol, yeah I bet…

    There’s no way Morehouse doesn’t protest him, and it’s highly doubtful he responds like an adult. I wouldn’t be surprised if this attempt at pandering leads to him insulting Moorehouse and losing support among the Black community.

    It’s very obvious that we are being used to score political points and try to get more Black votes,” he added, comparing Biden’s commencement address to a recent visit to the area by former president Donald Trump. Trump stopped by a Chick-fil-A near Morehouse on April 10 and was photographed with a number of young Black people.

    Biden doesn’t do well when people question him, especially people under retirement age.

    Like, on one hand he does need to reach out to the youth, he can’t win without him.

    It’s just the more people know about Joe Biden, the less they like him. He’s just an unpopular candidate, who does and says unpopular things.

    We could try to change millions of voters minds, or change Biden’s. Everyone acts like changing mind is impossible though.

      I see you im every thread even remotely related to Biden, doing nothing but raging against Biden. That level of obsession is unhealthy. Seek help.

        Raging?

        Why do the people who defend Biden always sound like trumpets?

        I haven’t heard anyone say “raging/rages” except them for like a decade, and the person called that is almost always calm…

      You can’t change someone’s mind who is on deaths door and has been a piece of shit their entire life.
