ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos brought up the question.
“I have not been a fan of court packing because I think it just generates what will happen for whoever wins; it just keeps moving in a way that is inconsistent with what is going to be manageable,” said Biden.
Stephanopoulos replied, “So, you’re still not a fan?”
Biden went on, referencing the ongoing confirmation of Supreme Court Justice nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett, “Well, I’m not a fan, it depends on how this turns out, not how he wins, but how it’s handled,” Biden said.

Biden Used To Oppose The Idea Of Court Packing
Describing the infamous attempt by FDR to pack the court over the court’s objections to his unconstitutional New Deal programs, Biden took a very strong stance against court packing.
Biden in 2005:
“In this environment, Roosevelt — I remember this old adage about power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely — corrupted by power, in my view, unveiled his court-packing plan. He wanted to increase the number of justices to 15, allowing himself to nominate those additional judges. It took an act of courage on the part of his own party institutionally to stand up against this power grab.”
Biden also called court packing a “bonehead” idea in 1983 during the Reagan administration.

Once all of that was out of the way, Combs explained that the point of the lecture was to “decenter whiteness.”
“What comes to mind when you hear the term ‘white supremacy?’” she asked, proceeding to answer the question by showing a slide that depicted pictures of Ku Klux Klan members as well as white nationalists in Charlottesville. Combs then removed the images and showed a side of just her face.
“When BIPOC activists would use the term ‘white supremacy’ to talk about the systems that needed to change and the work that white people needed to do, my instinct was to recoil,” she explained. “It felt like too hard or too raw of a word, and I didn’t like it. And I ultimately realized that that is my ego.”
“Stepping into that tension and accepting my connection to white supremacy has been a freedom of sorts to show up in better alignment with my values and do the work for the rest of my life,” she added.

12-Step Plan
Finally, Combs revealed her specific 12-step plan, which can be seen in the powerpoint for the lecture:
Step 1: “We admitted that we had been socially conditioned by the ideology of white supremacy—that our minds were subject to racial biases, often unconsciously so.”
Step 2: “We came to believe that we could embrace our ignorance as an invitation to learn.”
Step 3: “We develop support systems to keep us engaged in this work.”
Step 4: “We journeyed boldly inward, exploring and acknowledging ways in which white supremacist teachings have been integrated into our minds and spirits.”
Step 5: “We confessed our mistakes and failings to ourselves and others.”
Step 6: “We were entirely ready to deconstruct previous ways of knowing, as they have been developed through the lens of white supremacy.”
Step 7: “We humbly explored new ways of understanding…proactively seeking out new learning and reconstructing a more inclusive sense of reality.”
Step 8: “We committed ourselves to ongoing study of our racial biases, conscious or unconscious, and our maladaptive patterns of white supremacist thinking.”
Step 9: “We develop strategies to counteract our racial biases.”
Step 10: “We embraced the responsibility of focusing on our impact, more than our intentions, in interactions with people of color.”
Step 11: “We engage in daily practices of self-reflection.”
Step 12: “We committed ourselves to sharing this message with our white brothers, sisters, and siblings…in order to build a supportive recovery community and to encourage personal accountability within our culture.
Oh boy. If that isn’t racism, I don’t know what is!

Kim Klacik is a rising Republican star who will lose her race for Congress .
It doesn ’ t matter .
I met her briefly at CPAC this last year and she doesn ’ t strike me as a person who harbors illusions , political or otherwise .
Thus she probably knew from the gitgo that she would lose , but become a star in the process .
She was right .
Kind of like a GOP version of Beto , but with a brain and a future .
Given star status , she has been able to far outraise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ Baltimore congressional candidate Kimberly Klacik reported $ 6.4 million in fundraising after President Trump shared her viral campaign video , which lambasted Democratic leadership in cities with large African American populations .
Since that ad , Klacik has appeared at the Republican National Convention and made multiple appearances on national television .
A Federal Election Commission report filed Thursday night showed her raking in $ 6,445,451 from July 1 through Sept. 30 .
The Baltimore Sun , which reported on the filing , quoted Klacik as saying : ‘ I think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ viral campaign ad that started the whole thing . '
” RELATED : Kim Klacik On The View : Joy Behar ‘ Paraded Around In Blackface ’ With that presidential endorsement of her career , she will either get a nice slot in a second Trump administration or be backed by Trump for another high GOP slot somewhere in the post-Trump party , which will be a party Trump will still have a lot of say in .
According to the Baltimore Sun , Mfume accused Trump and Klacik of trying to buy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ congressional seat belongs to the people of Baltimore City , Baltimore County and Howard County .
Donald Trump and Kim Klacik can not buy it .
They should take their money and greed somewhere else , because we are not for sale .
Not now , not ever.
” Of course she is trying to buy the election .
So is he .
So is anyone running for anything in the United States today .
Politics , to mangle Clausewitz , is war by other means .
Money is ammo .
If you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t shoot and thus can ’ t win .
Ergo… FNC : “ Klacik reported $ 2.9 million in expenditures , most of which was dedicated to online ads and mailers , as well as $ 3.6 million in cash on hand .
By contrast , Mfume ’ s cash on hand was reported as $ 269,342.
” That is a serious disadvantage for Mfume .
But it is irrelevant .
His name recognition and local voter loyalty , which given the economic conditions in the district are insane , will guarantee @ @ @ @ @ @ @ off up to 40 percent , a serious moral victory .
In September 1939 the Polish Army achieved a serious moral victory against the Wehrmacht .
And… Maryland , aside from its Eastern Shore , is deep red because of Baltimore and the counties close to DC .
No amount of star power or money will change that in the foreseeable future .
However , it won ’ t matter to Kim Klacik .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-10-19--Mr. Flip Flop Does It Again – Now Biden Is Apologizing For Supporting A Bill He Co-Wrote

2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden , the former Vice President of the United States and senior Senator from Delaware , now claims he made mistakes to support some of the 1994 Crime Bill .
So , the mistake was when the states actually enforced the bill you signed and supported to make law .
Gosh .
I hope you don ’ t make any more mistakes that drastically affect people ’ s lives like that .
Let me help you by not voting for you .
BEFORE YOU GIVE JOE A PASS , REMEMBER THIS Once again , Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ support ” thing is way off base .
He was against taking out Bin Laden , he was for NAFTA – OK are there any positions Biden took that ended up being the correct ones ?
It seems like if there is a wrong choice , Biden will make it .
READ : New Poll Shows Trump Has Narrow Lead Over Biden In Battleground Michigan It was well known at the time that the bill would be far harsher on minorities than whites .
Many Republicans pointed that fact out at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the minority and could not stop or change the bill .
For instance , minorities were far more likely to be convicted of possessing crack than cocaine .
The bill mandated much longer sentences for crack than cocaine even though “ crack ” is a cocaine derivative .
That imprisoned blacks and other minorities far longer than white people for a similar crime .
In practice , it was much worse as cocaine possession was much more likely to be plea-bargained down to a lesser crime than crack possession .
Well , Joe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not forgiven these days .
Even if it is from decades or centuries ago , a change of heart is not forgiven either .
We did not hear you say this during your eight years as vice president nor , was it revised or dismantled like it is now .
Why should you get a pass ?
THIS IS NOTHING BUT POLITICAL EXPEDIENCY Apologizing for this bill three weeks before the election isn ’ t a good look , but he ’ s already shown that ’ s he ’ s more willing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rioting and looting and ready to “ bring them to the table , ” which is code for cave to their demands .
In 47 years of doing nothing in Washington , DC , Joe still managed to get something officially wrong .
Not a very good record , and yet the Democrats and RINOs still want him to be president .
He and his family did , however , manage to become multi-millionaires—a joke of great magnitude .
How long until he says this bill was Trump ’ s fault seems to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democrats always accuse Trump of what they themselves are constantly doing .
Well done , a bad law was passed at the federal level , and then Biden said it was the state ’ s fault .
The stuff that comes out of a politician ’ s mouth when they pretend to take responsibility for something .
IT ’ S ABOUT THE POLLS AND LOSING THE ELECTION !
Biden only cares about what the polls and focus groups tell him to care about .
It started with the DNC and his failure to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ major cities , which caused him to slip in the polls .
A week later , he condemned the violence , still not calling it rioting or looting , to try and regain those votes lost .
He has recently refused to answer direct questions about court-packing going on record as saying voters can wait “ until after the election ” to find out and that they “ don ’ t deserve to know ” to now conceding he may have to make known his position before the election .
READ : Investigative @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Giving the Bidens Benefits of Its Doubts Of course , it will only come after days of carefully weighing the polls to select the best way to lean .
Now we have to listen to him reverse his course on the 1994 Crime Bill that he introduced , co-authored and passed as legislation like he had nothing to do with it , and it was someone else ’ s piece of legislation .
Everyone knows that Joe is just a puppet and will bend to the will of progressives and special interests if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the 1994 Crime Bill tells me he is losing this election and knows it .

Gosh, Joe. I hope you don’t make any more mistakes that drastically affect people’s lives like that.
Let me help you by not voting for you.
Before You Give Joe A Pass, Remember This
Once again, Biden helped write the bill, so this “support” thing is way off base.

Why should you get a pass?
This is Nothing But Political Expediency
Apologizing for this bill three weeks before the election isn’t a good look, but Joe’s already shown that’s he’s more willing to stay silent on Black Lives Matter rioting and looting than to condemn it.
In 47 years of doing nothing in Washington, DC, Joe still managed to get something officially wrong.

I am not surprised at the polls that have Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden up by a few skyscrapers.
In fact, I expect this kind of behavior from the Dems.
The funny thing is, the Democrats truly think that by protecting Biden from the real Americans, they can quietly slip him into the White House as president.
A rude awakening is in store for them when Trump wins in a landslide.

The more insane their news gets, the more credibility they lose with the public.
They are caught in a vicious cycle and will remain so until they either unshackle themselves from the radical left or collapse entirely.
Biden Doesn’t Want To Be On Record For Anything
Biden really does not want to be asked the pertinent questions of a presidential candidate, like his firm stance on court-packing, filibustering, and the Green New Deal.
He has also been vague and elusive about his health condition and background.
It’s extraordinary how Americans are expected to vote for him based on claims that he can beat Trump and not based on an actual agenda or stance he has taken.
“Pass the bill to see what’s inside it” is what Pelosi said about Obamacare, which was a disaster.
The only tough question Biden has been subjected to was whether he would support packing the Supreme Court and ending the filibuster. It was one question, and he refused to answer on either subject.
If someone were undecided as a voter, and were able to ask Joe questions, it would be questions such as those he would be asked.
He would be asked about his ties to socialism, his silence on China, how his son got a job in Ukraine, and how he came back from China with $1.5 billion in Chinese cash.
Biden would be asked about his sexual assault accuser Tara Reade and her employment records, and “I don’t know” wouldn’t be considered an acceptable answer.

Tapper’s Tense Interview With Lara Trump
Things got tense when Lara appeared on “State Of The Union” as Tapper attacked her for previously appearing to mock Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden for his stutter.
“How do you think it makes little kids with stutters feel when they see you make a comment like this that?” Tapper said as he played a clip of Lara saying back in January that Biden is not able to “get the words out.”
Lara responded by saying that she “had no idea” about Biden’s struggle with stuttering, going on to add, “I think what we see on stage with Joe Biden is very clearly a cognitive decline.”
After she said it made her “uncomfortable” to watch Biden speak, Tapper cut her off, saying, “OK … It’s so amazing to me that … ‘a cognitive decline.'”

“It’s very concerning to a lot of people that this could be the leader of the free world,” she added. “That is all I’m saying. I genuinely feel sorry for Joe Biden.”
Tapper found this last statement to be too “triggering” for him to continue the interview.
“Thank you Lara. I appreciate it,” he said drily. “I’m sure it was from a place of concern. We all believe that.”

Newsom’s Thanksgiving Restrictions
Newsom spoke out last week to announce that the people of California are not allowed to mix more than three households while celebrating Thanksgiving next month.
He also asked that people gather outside to enjoy their Thanksgiving feast, adding that they should practice socially distancing and wear masks. On top of that, Newsom said that Thanksgiving should last no more than two hours, and nobody who gathers for the holiday should shout or sing.
“We are entering into the holidays, but also we’re entering into part of the year where things cool down and people are more likely to congregate back indoors in settings that put their physical proximity and likelihood of transmission and transmitting disease at higher risk,” the governor said.
