    Kinda, if you couch it as a competition between two murdered men. But Biden was trying to make a point about the visceral reaction the world had because of the technology that enabled us to get graphic video of the event and share it to almost every living being on earth. He wasn't trying to compare their roles in history. Just contrasting the circumstances to make a point about the power of video to show people the truth of things. MLK -- and the loss of MLK -- had a bigger impact on world history, but his point about the flashpoint of Floyd's murder is valid.

    Sorry that your attempt at copy&paste Biden-bashing without knowing facts didn't work out too well.

    WaPo: Slidin' Biden will try for a reset today, but ...

    https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2022/01/19/wapo-slidin-biden-will-try-for-a-reset-today-but-n442570

    excerpt:

    The Post leads with Afghanistan and suggests that it was the inflection point for Biden’s collapse, which it was. Gallup’s latest poll recognizes that as well. They never get around to explaining why, and that matters. Biden insisted that he wouldn’t abandon Americans and claimed that no one predicted that the government in Kabul would collapse in the immediate aftermath of an American withdrawal. Both turned out to be lies; Biden left thousands of Americans, both citizens and legal permanent residents, behind Taliban lines in his rush to retreat. Warnings of the potential for collapse turned out to be plentiful inside and outside of Biden’s administration.

    All of this created a confidence-crisis cascade, one which I predicted in mid-September when polls turned sharply negative. Biden isn’t just dealing with voter dissatisfaction, but rather an electorate that feels defrauded by Biden. He ran as a careful steward of government, a wise hand that could calm the partisan waters and get deals accomplished by engaging both parties in common-sense solutions. The media went all-in on pushing that narrative to supply a contrast for the 2020 elections to Donald Trump. Instead, voters ended up with an incoherent, weak, dishonest demagogue who promptly abandoned the center for the exact same kind of majoritarian all-or-nothing politics that Biden supposedly ran against.

    Now Biden reportedly wants a reset. Today’s press conference could provide a platform for a real agenda shift if Biden wants to execute one, but … is there any evidence he wants that? The White House spent the last few days doubling down on Biden’s execrably disgraceful speech in Georgia in which he compared his political opponents to traitor Jefferson Davis. It’s pretty tough to “reset” your way out of that and get back to the threadbare Uncle Joe persona.

    As far as a reset on competence, well … whose bright idea was it to schedule this presser two hours before Chuck Schumer’s attempt to burn down his own caucus over the filibuster? Not only does that not scream “reset,” the spectacle of Democratic recriminations will eclipse anything Biden has to say to reporters today, unless it’s so dumb that it makes headlines. The Biden White House continues to reflect the wisdom and competence of its leader, and that ain’t a compliment.

    There's a better chance of the Texans winning the Super Bowl in 2024 than Hillary Clinton winning the Democratic nomination.

    And yes the Texans could win the Super Bowl in 2024 also. That said I wouldn't put money on the Texans hoisting the Lombardi trophy then.
