I think the article below it is funnier

“Joe Biden had the largest public investment in social infrastructure and environmental programs, that is actually finishing what FDR started, that LBJ expanded on, and Joe Biden is attempting to complete,” Marjorie Taylor Greene said at the conservative Turning Point Action conference over the weekend. Except … she meant it all as an insult?

I've heard people on the left saying they wish Biden was what the GOP say he is.

Two jewish men are sitting on a bench in Israel reading newspapers. One of the men, reading a newspaper in Hebrew, notices the other man is reading a newspaper in Arabic.

"My friend," he exclaims. "How can you read that trash! Don't you know its all lies?"

The other man puts down his paper and replies, "I used to read your newspaper and I'd get depressed. Its all bad news. Now I read this paper and it makes me happy. We run all the banks, we run Hollywood, soon we will take over the world!"

Old joke

An Australian (I think) news network took just that clip out of context. Biden's Twitter team reposted it with an "I approve this message." It's great!
