Joe Biden just received a glowing endorsement from his former boss, Barack Obama, but Donald Trump, the president in every disaster movie ever made, can now claim support of another prominent black leader although when we saw prominent," we mean just heard about him today." Georgia state Rep. Vernon Jones told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Tuesday that he's all in for a second Trump term, which America couldn't possibly survive.

The economy is in shambles. More than 16 million Americans have lost their jobs within the past month, and that includes almost 500,000 Georgians. This is a pre-COVID tap dance for the president. Jones needs new material.

Yes, Trump signed a mostly meaningless executive order in 2017 that physically moved the White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities from Betsy DeVos's gingerbread house inside the Department of Education over to the White House itself. Kellyanne Conway took photos of the event with her dirty feet on the Oval Office couch. Trump's still practically racist in every way.

Jones praises Trump's "criminal justice initiatives." There's the "First Step" program he grudgingly signed as a favor to his useless son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Kim Kardashian also convinced Trump to release Alice Marie Johnson (possibly in exchange for Kanye West's soul). Jones notes that Johnson had repeatedly petitioned Obama for clemency but been denied, so we should now trust the guy who still wants to execute the Central Park Five.

Apparently, Trump's "leadership" on criminal justice reform is a stark contrast from Biden's, as Jones explains with bogus rightwing talking points we'll have to endure until November.

What a maroon! Trump's first attorney general was white supremacist Jeff Sessions, and Trump didn't fire him because Sessions wanted to escalate the War on Drugs. No, he got canned because he wouldn't serve as Trump's personal lawyer.

Trump bungled the nation's response to the coronavirus, which is currently targeting black people like New York's old stop-and-frisk" policy. What the hell is wrong with this guy?

Jones says he plans to remain a Democrat, but other Democrats aren't on board with Jones remaining in office. Democratic Party of Georgia Chairwoman Nikema Williams released this scathing statement Tuesday.

Jones represents Georgia's 91st District, which includes the heavily Democratic DeKalb County. He's described himself as a conservative Democrat" who supports gun rights and tough immigration laws. He's also reportedly made offensive comments about Georgia's only transgender elected official, Stephe Koontz. He voted twice for George W. Bush but, hey, so did Colin Powell, probably. He's also kept photos of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee on his desk, which we hope was for target practice.

Rhonda Taylor, who does not support Trump because she's black and conscious, is running against Jones in the upcoming Democratic primary. Unless she keeps nude photos of Robert E. Lee on her desk, she has our unconditional support.
