| Joe Biden: 'Dregs of society' support Donald Trump |
| 2018-09-18 |
| [Wash Times] Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden assailed President Trump’s supporters during a speech Saturday at the annual Human Rights Campaign dinner in Washington, lamenting that "virulent people" and the "dregs of society" still had a friend in the White House. Mr. Biden told an enthusiastic crowd of LGBTQ rights advocates that social conservatives at home and abroad who used religion or culture as a "license to discriminate" were committing a "crime" of prejudice. "Despite losing in the courts and in the court of public opinion, these forces of intolerance remain determined to undermine and roll back the progress you all have made," he argued. "This time they ‐ not you ‐ have an ally in the White House. "They’re a small percentage of the American people, virulent people," he continued. "Some of them the dregs of society. And instead of using the full might of the executive branch to secure justice, dignity [and] safety for all, the president uses the White House as a literal, literal bully pulpit, callously exerting his power over those who have little or none." |

| #4 I haven't been so pleased to be numbered among the "dregs of society" since I also was pleased to belong to the ONLY branch of the US Military Service which was founded in a bar ( Tun's Tavern). |

| #2 Despite losing in the courts and in the court of public opinion, Last time I checked, the public, in the form of a referendum in CA, blocked gay marriage. Then the unelected sit for life judiciary decided the voice of the people was to be shut down and their fiat, which had no legal basis in the written Constitution, was to take precedent. The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. [Isn't it amazing how some elements of the Constitution expand under 'interpretation' and others disappear altogether] |
