WASHINGTON, D.C. — During a prestigious ceremony held at the White House, President Biden bestowed the "Black American of Courage" award to actor Robert Downey Jr. for his pivotal role as a black man in the 2008 movie Tropic Thunder.

Awarding the white actor a black award equitably follows in the footsteps of First Lady Jill Biden, who recently gave the International Woman of Courage Award to a fat guy from Argentina squashed into a dress and caked with makeup to show young women around the world to never give up on their dreams of being crushed into oblivion and wiped from the history books.

"If you're not as black as Robert Downey, Jr., then you ain't black," said the President while standing next to Mr. Jr. who had insisted the award go to someone else while glancing nervously at all of the black people in the room.

Biden added that choosing a recipient had been difficult, as contenders for the prestigious award included Jimmy Kimmel, Justin Trudeau, Corn Pop, and Dr. Rachel Levine who had qualified by getting a spray tan that one time.

At publishing time, President Biden had replaced Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin with Robert Downey Jr. on the grounds that Austin was just not black enough for his diverse cabinet.

Unfortunately Biden went full retard, never go full retard.

I figured it would go to Jimmy Kimmel for his brave blackface portrayal of Karl Malone.

During a prestigious ceremony held at the White House, President Biden ...

There is no such thing as a prestigious ceremony where Brandon is present.

That movie is so damn funny.

I know it is the Bee, which is why my reply was in, I hope, a humorous note. :)

Put a pervert in the highest office in the land and the will perverts follow.

Romans 1;24.

I imagine the senior Mr. and Mrs. Biden married because they wanted children.

Imagine their disappointment when Joey Boy came along.

This article made my eyes rain!

[Night Hides Not]

The headline gave the Bee away!

[old school]

I laughed before I even read the source; because it’s so, insanely, like something Brandon would do!

"That movie is so damn funny. "

Yes, and I think I read something recently where Ben Stiller said he was not going to apologize for it, or anything in it. I hope that's true.

BTW, that movie features the best performance of Tom Cruise's entire career.

So we should be saying, “Don’t Go Full Biden”? Works for me.
