What was Biden supposed to do? Shoot him?

[–] glimse 47 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That would have honestly been the funniest possible thing Biden could have done as his last act as president.

Would security tackle Biden? Shoot him? Stare in shock?

Sure, why not? America is rapidly turning into a tinderbox, Biden would at least be incredibly based if he lit the fuse. It'd certainly increase his status in the history books, because right now I imagine he'll look pretty goddamn stupid.

Yes!! He has presidential immunity and trump is a fucking nazi!!! He sure as fuck shouldn't be friendly towards him

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes, he was. Trump is a clear and present threat to the country and constitution.

The majority of Americans are peachy with it, so...

If the majority of Americans were cool with enslaving black people again, would you have the same response?

It's insane to let a fascist control the country because their brainwashing campaign was successful. The entire purpose of the EC was to go against the will of the people in this exact scenario.

The Americans had a civil war about it. And now they are fighting to bring back slavery for all brown/black instead that only for imprisoned people. And black/brown/latinos are cool with it.

Hopefully Biden farted in his own hand before shaking Trumps hand

I was thinking about if Jimmy Carter covertly got a gun and suddenly laid out Trump and Vance. What are they gonna do, send the centenarian to prison? Assume the old guy was in cahoots with the rest of the party and not just off his rocker?

Well the meme above pisses me off, honestly, I really wish he would.

Exactly, he'll have to scrub the shit off that hand but he's doing his job anyway. People have a high school sophomore attitude about everything.
