Travesty that wasn’t taught in schools. Talk about based, it’s everything we’re fighting for now

People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.

Truer words...

He's not bad though all things considered. I don't know if we could do much better in Ukraine than how Biden has responded. His global policy approach is pretty impressive. He's had a few misses in domestic policy but overall I'd say he is doing quite well.

I like him, but I’m old. I want more Dark Brandon. When he gets a second term, I think he’s gonna be more open and do something transformative. Maybe, I’m just being optimistic

Nah, I think you're right. I think he's going to do some sick flips on his bike.

Do a kick flip!

You could be damned sure FDR wouldn’t have soft-pedaled any part of a pandemic response.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, he wouldn’t have stood for that
