“A black man invented the light bulb, not a white guy named Tom Edison” — Biden
twitter ^ | 09/03'20

Posted on 09/03/2020 6:36:57 PM PDT by dontreadthis

Lewis Latimer, the black inventor Biden’s presumably referring to, is credited with creating an improved filament — as well as successfully testifying that Edison’s patents on the first practical lightbulbs were correctly granted.

When I was young, I remember that no matter what scientific advance was discussed, the Russians always claimed to have invented it first. Sometimes it was true, usually not.

The Soviet Union did produce the world's largest microcircuits.

Joe Biden reminds me of Bob Hopes brother.... NO HOPE!


LOL. He probably also thanked his refrigerator for its service because the name on it said General Electric.

Folks down South used to say they’d vote for a yellow dog before they’d vote Republican.

Today, they can finally vote for a yellow dog. Or they can use the brains the good Lord gave them.

I am thinking that lawyers are not necessarily bright. I know being bright would help, but apparently it is not essential to become a lawyer. Why do so many lawyers have trouble with the bar exam?

Biden is a few vital filaments short of a functioning brain.

Remember the old child’s joke that went like this:

“When God gave out brains, Biden thought he said trains, so now he continually goes around wearing an engine’s hat.”

.... Biden mixed up the history of inventor Lewis Latimer with Edison ....

..... Yup ..... The light bulb itself was invented by Thomas Edison, ..... However ..... Later there was an innovation that was used to create a ...... Longer-Lasting light bulb with a Carbon Filament ...... Which came from the African-American inventor Lewis Latimer.
