Jimmy Aldaoud

Jimmy Aldaoud had never been in Iraq, and knew no one in Iraq, but he was an Iraqi citizen. So the US deported him there, where he predictably became homeless, and predictably died from lack of insulin just two months later.

The US targeted refugees associated with Iraq, including Aldaoud, as part of the bully's "Muslim ban". Ironically, Aldaoud was a Christian, but that didn't save him.

Biden attacked for verbal slip

samedi 10 août 2019 à 02:00

Biden is being attacked for a minor verbal slip.

He contrasted "poor" with "white", when saying that children of both groups have the same potential. Maybe he meant to condemn racial discrimination, or maybe he meant to condemn economic discrimination, but he got the two confused and ended up condemning a mixture of both.

Is that a bad thing? We know that the two discriminations often operate in parallel.

I will not vote for Biden, but that's for reasons of substance: he does not oppose the plutocracy which promotes racism and is makes economic discrimination so bad.
