Sweet story about Biden

#RidinWithBiden

"It’ll take you forever to get a cab around here this time of day," the vice president scoffed. “I’m on my way to work. I’ll give you a ride, and you can get a cab from the White House."
...
Daddy and his companions climbed into the vice presidential limo with Biden and off they went, zooming down Massachusetts Avenue and turning on to Connecticut Avenue, zipping through red lights, police cars and motorcycles with lights and sirens at full blast.

Biden chatted away happily like it was no big deal, as if he were driving some friends to the store in the family sedan. Every now and then, he waved back at people on the street, but he stayed focused on the nonstop conversation in the car.
...
But this story also tells us an awful lot about Joe Biden, a man who is so quick to say, "C’mon guys. I can make it easier for you to get where you’re going. Ride with me."

"Income equality" won't resolve racism because income inequality hasn't resolved racism

Brandon Marshall is about as economically equal as anyone can get. Yet he still has to put up with this.

BREAKING: New York attorney general is all up in Eric Trump's face

She is ALL over the whole Trump family ...

The New York Attorney General is investigating President Trump’s private business for a allegedly misleading lenders by inflating the value of its assets, the attorney general’s office said Monday in a legal filing.

In the filing, signed by a deputy to Attorney General Letitia James, the attorney general’s office said it is investigating Trump’s use of “Statements of Financial Condition” — documents Trump sent to lenders, summarizing his assets and debts.

The filing asks a New York state judge to compel the Trump Organization to provide information it has been withholding from investigators — including a subpoena seeking an interview with the president’s son Eric.

The attorney general’s office said began investigating after Trump’s former lawyer and “fixer,” Michael Cohen, told Congress in February 2019 that Trump had used these statements to inflate his net worth to lenders.

The filing said that Eric Trump had been scheduled to be interviewed in the investigation in late July, but abruptly canceled that interview. The filing says that Eric Trump is now refusing to be interviewed, with Eric Trump’s lawyers saying “we cannot allow the requested interview to go forward … pursuant to those rights afforded to every individual under the Constitution.”
