Real mature.

After months of speculation, former Vice President Joe Biden formally announced his bid for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.

In the video message, Biden recalls the white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups that descended on Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017. Trump's responses at the time were widely criticized for placing Nazis and those who march against them on the same moral plane. Biden says that hearing Trump's response made him realize "the threat to this nation was unlike any that I'd ever seen in my lifetime."


Watch Biden's announcement below:

Biden said again of Trump:

"If we give Donald Trump eight years in the White House, he will forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation."

It wasn't long before Donald Trump responded through his favorite medium, Twitter, where he christened Biden with a nickname and insulted his intelligence.

Trump—who is two years into his first ever position in public office—gave the former Vice President and 30 year Senator advice on the Democratic primary, warning that it would be "nasty." Trump should know, given that in his Republican primary, he insulted an opponent's wife's looks, calling an opponent an 'embarrassment to his family,' and referenced the size of his penis on a national debate stage.

People began calling him out.

It's going to be a long year and a half.

They seem to love it when weird right-wing celebs like Kevin Sorbo get on the internet and say bizarre, usually counterfactual nonsense, or when JK Rowling does her darnedest to make her legacy not about Harry Potter but about her weird obsession with trans people.

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
