You can stick your head in the sand all you want but ignoring Biden's full throated support for an ongoing genocide that he's paying for with our tax dollars is not gonna make it go away.

Why are you saying they are ignoring it? They have posted in several threads about it.
That is the opposite of ignore.

Nice, we really needed a new dont vote for Biden topic.

We should start counting how many get made per day. Would be interesting data.

Irony is being silly I think but there is probably people actually blaming Biden.

Tanthalas posted...

Biden has clearly been a good president and is a far better option than Trump. Thats what needs to be said every time someone tries the same thing, both sides bs.

My point is how often do you see such a topic?
Meanwhile everyday there is another "looks like Biden is going to lose and he has no one to blame"
Sometimes there is like 5 of those in one day like yesterday.

How did he say it?

Better to just make a new positive Biden thread or bump one.

Also 2 threads yesterday got deleted where posters where being disingenous about Biden. Sadly don't think either got warned for them.

McCain seemed like a decent person. He argued in favor of Obama whenever one of his supporters went off on their bullshit.

Good time to remember:

https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/19/politics/donald-trump-john-mccain-dead/index.html

On July 18, 2015, then-candidate Donald Trump said this about John McCain: Hes not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who werent captured.
On March 19, 2019, President Donald Trump offered this assessment of the late war hero and senator: I was never a fan of John McCain and I never will be.

Those two comments almost four years apart and more than six months after McCains death provide telling bookends to understand just how much Trump has changed Republican politics (and politics generally), and not for the better.

Worst thing was to see people who liked McCain all the sudden hate him just cause Trump did. I know people irl like that.

People who have the same kind of blind devotion as regular MAGA, but to the left rather than the right.

Left of Republicans? Wouldn't that just make them land where Biden is?

are you talking about a hat that is blue but it says MAGA on it?

I bet they ask for a tip too.

"It'll never happen to me." say people in power.

"No one told me I was expendable!" say those same people once they're no longer necessary.

So true. Imagine if the SCOTUS voted for him to be the criminally immune Imperial King(words from lawyer in article above). Next thing he would do is strip them all of every power.

Note Biden spearheaded this:

President Joe Biden directed the Department of Health and Human Services in October of 2022 to review marijuanas classification. Federal scientists concluded that there is credible evidence that cannabis provides medical benefits and that it poses lower health risks than other controlled substances.
Biden even made history at the State of the Union address this year, for the first time referencing marijuana from the dais in the House chamber and making note of the federal review process. No one should be jailed for using or possessing marijuana, the president said during the speech.

Are you saying he should send in the National Guard? What do you want them to do?

I am saying he is doing nothing to prevent the protests. He is just giving his opinion.

Until the GOP is taken down utterly.

Couldn't tell you if/when that's happening though unfortunately.

If Trump loses aren't they basically bankrupt?

Also to mention Biden at first wasn't going to forgive student loans and I made a thread about it complaining.

Later he did it, he actually did it and keeps doing it.

The Justice Department's lawyers should absolutely have asked the question "if you rule the President has absolute immunity, what's to stop him from having all of you killed?".

I have a feeling the issue is the SCOTUS is kinda like, well, think of like Reddit mods or something similar to that.
You ask this question they will get upset and say you aren't taking this seriously and use that against you and they have so much power they can abuse it and do it in front of you and if you complain about it, it just gets worse.
Basically got to tip toe and play lip service to them.

Just to mention I wasn't biggest Biden fan. That should be obvious that I align more with what Bernie wanted to do. But Trump is so destructive that Biden looks amazing beside him. In case anyone would argue I am just googly eyed for Biden.

Also Doom_Art, thought you were always big on Biden. At least back when people bemoaned Bernie not being picked as the candidate.

Yeah, he could have, but to act like this is related to the middle east at all is comical when its been talked about for a long time.

wrong thread?

So he does nothing but say it is the wrong approach?

"The president believes that forcibly taking over a building on campus is absolutely the wrong approach.

That is not an example of peaceful protests," Kirby told reporters at a briefing.

While the president does have sweeping authority to federalize the National Guard, Kirby said such a move was not under consideration amid the latest developments at Columbia in New York City, where students entered the building, blocked doors and linked arms outside to form a barricade

Not even considering doing anything about it.....

metralo posted...

this has been talked about since like 2019

Does Biden even have anything to do with TikTok ban? Pretty sure congress is pretty unified there but I guess he could have vetoed it.

I look it up on google and find:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrictions_on_TikTok_in_the_United_States

Trump administration
This section is an excerpt from Donald TrumpTikTok controversy.[edit]
In 2020, the United States government announced that it was considering banning the Chinese social media platform TikTok upon a request from then-presidentDonald Trump, who viewed the app as a national security threat.

and Biden

Biden administration
On June 9, 2021, the Biden Administration issued Executive Order 14034, "Protecting Americans' Sensitive Data from Foreign Adversaries" ("EO 14034"). EO 14034, overturning three Executive Orders signed by Donald Trump: Executive Order 13942, Executive Order 13943, and Executive Order 13971. Despite revoking these Executive Orders, the Biden Administration's EO 14304 has called upon other federal agencies to continue a broad review of foreign-owned applications set to continuously inform the President of the risk that the applications pose to personal data and national security.[4] The White House said that, "The Biden Administration is committed to promoting an open, interoperable, reliable, and secure Internet; protecting human rights online and offline; and supporting a vibrant, global digital economy."[5]
In December 2022, Senator Marco Rubio and representatives Mike Gallagher and Raja Krishnamoorthi introduced the Averting the National Threat of Internet Surveillance, Oppressive Censorship and Influence, and Algorithmic Learning by the Chinese Communist Party Act (ANTI-SOCIAL CCP Act), which would prohibit Chinese- and Russian-owned social networks from doing business in the United States.[6][7]

So once again Biden blamed for a thing that is more Trump? Sure I guess he could have vetoed it....

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/joe-biden/biden-administration-plans-reclassify-marijuana-easing-restrictions-na-rcna149424

The Biden administration will take a historic step toward easing federal restrictions on cannabis, with plans to announce an interim rule soon reclassifying the drug for the first time since the Controlled Substances Act was enacted more than 50 years ago, four sources with knowledge of the decision tell NBC News.
The Drug Enforcement Administration is expected to approve an opinion by the Department of Health and Human Services that marijuana should be reclassified from the most strict Schedule I to the less stringent Schedule III, marking the first time that the U.S. government would acknowledge its potential medical benefits and begin studying them in earnest.
Attorney General Merrick Garland submittedthe rescheduling proposal to the White House Office of Management and Budget on Tuesday afternoon, a source familiar with the situation confirmed toNBC News.
Any reclassification is still months from going into effect. After the proposal is published in the Federal Register, there will be a 60-day public comment period. The proposal will then be reviewed by an administrative law judge, who could decide to hold a hearing before the rule is approved.

What rescheduling means
Since 1971, marijuana has been in the same category as heroin, methamphetamines and LSD. Each substance under the Schedule I classification is defined as a drug with no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. Schedule III substances include Tylenol with codeine, steroids and testosterone.
By rescheduling cannabis, the drug would now be studied and researched to identify concrete medical benefits, opening the door for pharmaceutical companies to get involved with the sale and distribution of medical marijuana in states where it is legal.

For the $34 billion cannabis industry, the move would also eliminate significant tax burdens for businesses in states where the drug is legal, notably getting rid of the Internal Revenue Service's code Section 280E which currently prohibits legal cannabis companies from deducting what would otherwise be ordinary business expenses.
The Department of Justices rescheduling decision could also help shrink the black market which has thrived despite legalization in states like New York and California and has undercut legal markets that are fiercely regulated and highly taxed.

He's promised mass deportationsof millions of migrants and suggested the United States would not defend foreign allies from aggression in certain circumstances. He's vowed to eviscerate the federal bureaucracyand staff those career civil service roles with political loyalists, use law enforcement to target foes and painted a dire picture of America's future if he does not return to the White House.

In two wide-ranging interviews with TIME Magazine published Tuesday, Trump expanded upon that vision for a second term, which would buck traditional conservative viewpoints about the role of government and expand the powers of the presidency that he would then wield against a wide range of groups in America.

Trump touched on a number of topics that are important factors to voters ahead of November, like abortion, crime and the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump also made eyebrow-raising comments about political violence, using the military against civilians and about the multiple criminal cases against him.

Abortion
"I won't have to commit to [federal abortion restrictions] because it'll never number one, it'll never happen," Trump said in the interview transcript. "Number two, it's about states' rights. You don't want to go back into the federal government."

Immigration
In campaign stump speeches, Trump has vowed to enact "the largest domestic deportation operation" in history and roll back virtually every Biden administration policy around the border. He continues to equate immigrants with crime, often mentioning murders and other grisly crimes committed by non-citizens as evidence that a crackdown is needed under his watch.

Political violence, law enforcement and criminal indictments
At several times over the last few years, Trump has suggested he would go after political opponents and seek to prosecute them, ranging from Biden to local district attorneys that do not align with his views on crime.

CountCorvinus posted...

It just shows that the Democratic Party doesn't actually see Trump as a threat. If I was Biden's handler, I'd be pressuring him to do things that would make people excited to vote for him, instead of doing the exact fucking opposite.

It's like they want Biden to lose.

What various things would you have him do?
I personally would do UBI but curious what things you would have done.

In another world with another world while virtually in another world, but that world is part of a multiverse that is written in a book in another world.

Legal experts: "Shameful" Supreme Court puts US one vote away from "the end of democracy"
Story by Charles R. Davis 1d

Andrew Weissmann, a former federal prosecutor who worked on special counsel Robert Muellers Russia investigation, believes the very fact that the Supreme Court took up the case is alarming. Appearing on MSNBC, he said the very fact Trumps legal arguments are being considered is a victory for the former president, likely delaying his election-interference trial until after November. But that the court is seriously considering his claim to immunity for all official acts taken as president signals that American democracy is in a terrible state.

Trumps claims could possibly be squared with the text of the Constitution or the history of the presidency, Weissmann said. And yet, there were justices who actually were taking this seriously. And it just was, frankly, shocking.

At least four of the courts conservative justices appear likely to side with Trump, Weissmann argued, suggesting it could hinge on Chief Justice John Roberts, putting the country one vote away from sort of the end of democracy as we know it, with checks and balances. The U.S. would not just have an imperial presidency, he continued, but a criminally immune king. What is so shocking is how close we are.
