I'm being told the White House has disavowed the highlighted statement re: the Biden's campaign strategy going forward, per The Nation - although they sound skeptical, and so am I.
That having been said, regardless of whether or not this WAS the plan, I'll settle for the dipshits in charge realizing it's a TERRIBLE fucking plan, and simply not doing it.
For once, liberals AND the left were united in saying "this is fucking BULLSHIT" - which may have been enough to wake Team Ichabod up.
