Thanks for the comments to read through. I can now confidently say that America is a failed experiment based on these conversations alone.
Joe biden lost a winnable election due to his own vanity and lack of human decency. Fuck him. He governed better than any democrat since what Lindon Johnson? But its far too little too late to pay for a lifetime of fucking people over
Biden was an og Congressional neoliberal. A prominent one. He helped Reagan convert Republican's former opposition party into the corpo bribe taking, social inclusion!... Economic die in the streets... party it is today, locking arms with Republicans to defend our murderous economy from us as they stoke social division between us so we don't look up at our sociopath owners.
Voted for him out of harm reduction compared to Trump, a vote for quiet not peace, but fuck Joe Biden.
I agree fuck him he wasn’t bad but boy did he lack a spine
It really impressed me how he pardoned that corrupt judge on the way out. Just to prevent anyone from having positive memories of him.
Not even any corrupt judge. He pardoned the Cash4Kids judge.
This just in: Oligarch warns about other oligarchs
Yeah, thanks dude, for not actually doing anything about it. Enjoy your millions in retirement.
Should retire, right now, so Kamila is president for a few days. Just so technically she's a president. Just to annoy trump
Just to make all those Trump 47 bumper stickers look silly.
I'm not a fan of any of them but this would be hilarious.
I am personally for small fuckery to Trump fans, just to make them squirm and piss their pants.
Ah yes, the healthy Democracy of a developed nation...
let me be frank, they'd feverishly fork over few more fistfuls of fiat for some fashionable forty-eight fittings
wanton baby murder wasn't enough to get him to change his position, so, i wouldn't hold my breath about this one
Thank God Joe promised to address this issue before taking office:
"Nothing will fundamentally change."
Ah. Die of gonorrhea and burn in hell, then.
He could use his Supreme Court given powers and do something with that?
Damn. Looks like you guys are headed for a system that treats rich people and poor people differently. Where you can get away with countless felony charges just for being of a particular status in society. ~~Where they'll push for the death penalty for someone that shoots a CEO but sleep when schools get shot up~~ (see below). I feel bad for you guys that all of this is only going to start happening to you on January 20, 2025.
I mean we've always really been that place but at least the 1% had the decency to pretend they were for fair and equal treatment and justice for all.
President Biden warns of 'oligarchy' as he bids farewell to five decades in ~~politics~~ service to the oligarch-beholden establishment
Fixed it for them.
“Oh hey guys there’s an oligarchy, sorry I didn’t do anything about it or say something earlier, peace out yall”
To be fair the entire last 4 years has been past his naptime at every moment of every day, so he had to delegate everything to whatever randos he could find.
Haha. Yeah, we really need an age cap on the presidency. 65?
"Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy
Taking shape? Like it's new? Like it's only now just emerging? Jesus Christ, Biden...
Fucking neoliberal trash.
It makes me feel less crazy that people in here are saying exactly what I've felt for years.
God it's nice to know others can see that the rotating seat of emperor has no clothes.
