Pretending to ratify the ERA on the last day of the job but not allowing enough time to get it signed, sealed and delivered really takes the definition of virtue signaling to a whole 'nother level.

He could have taken a swing at this anytime in the last two months, but, as usual, he does a half ass thing that sounds good but doesn't accomplish shit.
Whoop-de-fucking-doo
Biden was, undeniably, the wrong man for the times we're in.
What does issuing an empty proclamation actually achieve?
everyone's a critic

He should not have left this to the last minute. Terrible.
She could’ve made this happen.
quiet for a moment, give space to the experts and maybe focus instead on how we make sure it stays the law of the land.
This isn't some tricky question.
It is signed, sealed and delivered.
An archivist can't stop it.
A "resolution" can't force a deadline.
It's done.
It isn't like he hasn't had other things to do these past 4 years.
I'm done with activists who want a "revolution" but don't want to accept incremental change, which is the sane way to accomplish real progress.

Please just stop with purity tests. That is how we got into this mess.
The archivist is not a president. He said it and now it's the 28th amendment.
there is a legal argument to be made that the era is valid, but those arguments will not be made if the archivist doesn't publish it, and she won't.
…but I just may go home and scream in a hay field.

The Archivist (Colleen) says she will not publish it … same with the Deputy Archivist… even if she publishes, it’ll be challenged due to the 1982 deadline (which prolly isn’t Constitutional). 1/?

Tribe says it doesn’t have to be published but he’s often wrong.
"Oh no, the person I appointed to the job isn't doing the job I appointed them to, that's completely not *my* fault."
Like... come on.
do jack
that he coulda
since he got into office
it's not about a last minute EO, it's about all the systemic change he could have been working on all this time
Support your local NAACP fighting the good fight for civil rights.
TAKE ACTION. Email: [email protected] Request the National Archivist publish the ERA.
See my most recent skeet, or read my work.
Besides of course watching the hearings in real time— a radicalizing experience for teen me— Prof. Hill was a mentor to a dear friend of mine.
Certainly a legal process will follow, lets hope a constitutional ratification comes soon
Virtue signaling, thy name is Danya.
All talk, no action.
In the end, just like Ukraine, he was an ally and better than alternatives, but also just not enough was done.
Just wait.
After what’s coming, people are going to be begging for a guy like Joe Biden.
If someone brings a case relying on the ERA, the courts will say whether it is part of the Constitution.
But the point is that either the ERA has been validly ratified, or it hasn’t. The president’s opinion about that matters only to the extent that it might lead DOJ to take that position & provoke a judicial ruling.
Seems norm-breaking!
I don’t see /trust that there is any strategy here, and performance at least always comes with optics strategy.
This man doesn't deserve cookies for issuing a press release now - he deserves scorn for sitting on it for his entire presidency.
Thank you.
I wish he would pardon Reality Winner.
It's like folks got bored of watching PBS and decided to watch the episodes of COPS where they don't even pretend they aren't just beating the guy.
its almost like there is a ruling class, and everyone else. is there really a two party system?
Perhaps the lack of voter interest in the ERA which goes back decades could be pointed to as the reason it has languished for so long. Personally I have always felt it would not pass because in America our women have never had equality
He seems like a nice fellow who managed the country reasonably well for a while, but he is no fighter and has no sense of strategy.
Now it is all at risk because he wanted to be a two term president.
But nah. Fuckit, why bother, amirite
Why the HELL didn't he stop the certification of an illegitimate and dangerous president-(stolen election)?
He had jobs and US supply chain insufficiencies in industry jobs to get done Russia Ukraine,many other things
A Dem ratified the ERA amendment.
There's far too much false equivalency going on these days.
WHY DO A THING LIKE THAT EH
i wonder what's on tv
i wonder if there are snacks
huh
The constitution allows it as a punishment for criminals.
Be homeless - crime.
Lose your house - be homeless.
Prices goes up, can't pay mortgage - Lose your house.
No one's freaking out because it's all part of the plan.
writing republicans is way less fun. they follow a much shorter path to failure
Oh, wait, no.
Never mind, that wasn't him.
Nvm
Nope. Just issuing a personal opinion while the cameras are still on.
