That all happened during Donald Trump 1.0. Silent Sam was a distant memory when Biden was sworn in - so was Saunders Hall.

Opinion | What right-wing influencer Lauren Southern's memoir reveals about the manosphere's idea of 'protection'
The discarding of Lauren Southern by the alt-right demonstrates that the modern conservative ideal of masculinity was never about protection.
www.msnbc.com
Former right-wing commentator Lauren Southern says she’s not a white nationalist. Self-described misogynist Andrew Tate says he’s not a rapist. Despite this, white nationalists sure were fans of Southern’s work, and people with questionable views about coercive sex feel the same way about Tate’s.
This past week, Southern accused Tate of raping her. Tate denies this. The accusations came via excerpts from Southern’s forthcoming self-published memoir, which she released for free on her Substack, she says, to avoid accusations that she is trying to profit off the story.
...
In addition to Southern’s racist and xenophobic oeuvre — her most well-known work includes perpetuating the myth of South African “white genocide” and writing “F--- Islam” on her face with lipstick during a “makeup tutorial video” — Southern has long made hay mocking the idea of rape culture. One of her early viral videos from around 2015 featured her telegenically declaring that she was not a feminist, because feminism ignored how often men are raped (she leaves out the fact that men are still the ones doing just about all of the rape). She’s claimed that the real victims of rape culture are men who are falsely accused. She pulled up to an anti-rape demonstration for survivors in Vancouver in 2015 with a sign that read “There is no rape culture in the West,” and encouraged marchers who wanted to encounter “real rape culture” to check out Africa.
...
In her memoir, Southern shows the sort of self-awareness that modern conservatives only exhibit when something bad happens to them personally. She reflects on how the encounter with Tate messed with her head, how she tried to remain on good terms with him even after he’d allegedly brutalized her. She still doesn’t hate him, she claims, writing: “I have forgiven him, truly. But that doesn’t mean he should be free to keep hurting, tormenting, and scamming others.”
...
In that same response, Southern depicts her own actions as valiant: Despite bullying and pressure from mainstream news media, her virtue — let men do whatever and just, like, be cool with it — remained intact.

I was 11, almost 12, and shooting hoops throughout the evening and running in to check the TV. Eventually, what I remember, is that we settled in to watch. Maybe there was a sleep over involved? It was a Summertime Sunday night. Armstrong made his walk at 4 minutes until 11 pm.

More than 200 Confederate monuments or statues were removed during the first Trump administration.
But yeah, might as well just blame it on Biden.

Also, it really says it all about your so-called "values" when you're defending returning Washington's blatantly racist team name and are opposed to removing statues to traitors who fought to preserve slavery and break up the USA (and which are also the world's greatest participation trophies). I mean, Rammy doesn't think that "Redskins" is not a deeply offensive and racist term for Native Americans? I wonder how Trumpers would feel if we created a NFL team called, say, the Memphis White Trash. Fox and Trumpers would be having the vapors.

I think whiteys or crackers is more appropriate. Those are terms used by non whites to objectify white trash, whereas “white trash” is often used by fellow crackers to objectify fellow whiteys. I doubt native Americans called each other “redskins”.

I thought about crackers, but somehow white trash sounded worse. It is a good point though.

Obvious question... why would Joe take a sleep medicine before a debate?
Hunter Biden says dad Joe was on Ambien during disastrous 2024 debate with Trump
Former first son Hunter Biden claimed in a new interview Monday that his father’s disastrous performance in last year’s debate with Donald Trump was due in part to the 46th president taking Ambien — which there is no record of him being prescribed.
“I know exactly what happened in that debate,” Hunter, 55, told YouTube personality Andrew Callaghan in an interview released on the anniversary of Biden prematurely ending his re-election bid.

Looks like Biden is also buying black market Ambien. 
A note released by Dr. Kevin O’Connor following Biden’s physical exam that February makes note of six medications the commander-in-chief was taking — but the popular sleeping aid is not one of them.
