All you fucking people are jerks, you all deserve being associated with the republicon party. Biden inherited a shit economy because of mango Mussolini. But you're to fucking stupid to know it.
What has the economy to do with Biden's full throated embrace and support of the Israeli genocide? Billions to starve, bomb, burn, shoot and bury mostly women and children.
It pales by comparison, but Biden was largely responsible for the bankruptcy bill that prevented debt forgiveness for average Americans declaring personal bankruptcy, while corporate bankruptcies sail on through with all debts erased. That was typical of Biden's contributions to the economy - suffering for most Americans; more benefits for his billionaire cohorts.
Slight correction: Biden's bankruptcy bill targeted only one aspect of debt - educational/student loans - making it harder to discharge these loans.
In terms of corporate bankruptcies, there are 2 primary ones - chapter 7 and chapter 11. And NO, is is NOT "sail on through with all debts erased". The corporation has to sell-off all its assets to pay the debts (in a certain pecking order) or re-organize/re-finance its debts (if it wishes to continue to exist).
No one is disputing that he inherited a mess but when he was elected there wasn’t a genocide. HE is responsible for the deaths of at least 250K people half of which are women and children and he didn’t give a fuck. He gave Bibi weapons and money to get this going and to continue it. And Trump is continuing what Biden started.
Yes, it would have taken only a phone call, if he had the freedom and mental aptitude to do so. he is cruel man, so don`t think he wanted to stop Netanyahu. but even if I`m wrong and he wanted to stop them, I doubt he would he have be allowed to make the call? Biden was president but he was not in charge. and yes, your correct to point out that Project Ukraine was Biden`s baby from the start, as VP , he was responsible for arming and empowering the Ukrainian Nazis (Azov) , and ensuring NATO Hawks in Europe got lots money to help them cease control of Brussels, Europe collection of psychopath Russophobes is Biden doing, never forget how the leader of Germany stood silent when Biden said they would put an end to NordStream, all these horrible things aside, he is still human being, and if we cheer his death or enjoy satire of his cancer, pis on hos grave, then we too have no humanity
Well your belief that these creatures are "Part of you" and that they are somehow "Human" is not my belief. They are not human and deserve nothing but the worst form of torture. How many of your friends have died to serve the greed and evil of these creatures? I have many and no qualms in tearing their hearts out in front of them.
Of course not, and it`s not Karma, it`s just simple fact he is old, he is 83, Biden, Bush Jr,Dick Cheney, Hillary Clinton, Victoria Nuland, Obama, Condoleezza Rice, Blinken, Sullivan etc... None of these evil bastards has ever been held responsible for the carnage they have wrought upon the world.
I will not cry when any one of them dies, but I will not cheer either, because at the end of the day they are part of me, they are human, we are the human race, and our sins against our fellowman is not an isolated thing. The sins of US presidents are many, but perhaps none worse than Harry S. Truman.
So you're (note the correct spelling) quite happy, perhaps eager for your tax dollars to be sent to Israel so they can have free healthcare, which Biden approved of, but you and your fellow American citizens cannot?
We don't claim the Republicans either, sweetheart. It's obvious you never paid attention so let me put reality in words even you can understand: BOTH PARTIES ARE THE SAME!
Instead of coming here and yapping crap, tell your Democratic heroes to STOP acting like Republicans!
You are a Genocide supporter so your opinion is worth less than smeared dog shit on a sidewalk. Biden deserves more pain than this. Biden is also a rapist and a traitor.
Biden was doing quite a commendable job until he went all in funding torture and genocide, and calling himself a Zionist, thereby destroying any good will he had built.
In fact, the reason so many people voted for Trump is BECAUSE Biden didn't do much for the American people (and Trump will be even worse). In Biden's term, inflation rose, inequality grew, police brutalization continued unabated, billionaires increased their wealth by trillions (https://inequality.org/article/billionaire-wealth-up-88-percent-over-four-years/), and more.
There is NO, I repeat ZERO argument to be made that "Biden was doing quite a commendable job" before Oct 7th.
What this thread illustrates for me, Chang, is that Americans have an incredibly large
-- capacity for denial
--addiction to duopoly explanations
It's D then R then D again then R, and not a goddamned thing ever evolves. But to see that the entire enterprise is corrupt, top to bottom, requires the removal of blinders that are apparently glued in place with a high-bond adhesive that no one has yet devised a solvent to remove.
Many of us can see the entire enterprise as corrupt, though not nearly enough. We can also see some large differences between the two parties as currently being displayed now. I voted for Stein since I live in California and it didn't matter, but domestically the current situation is far more disastrous than it would have been if Harris had won. (No change for the hideous plight of the Palestinians of course.) To deny that fact is absurd.
Sorry, I opine that what's absurd is the fact that you tend to
A. downplay the extent to which Democrat politicians are, almost as thoroughly as the other side, bought by (other than pro-Israel) pro-weapons, –Wall Street, and -Pharma, -etc.
I also voted for Jill in NM. Trump is a scumbag. I would gladly run over Elon with a road paver.
B. the extent to which Democrats in power abrogate actual mechanisms of change, mostly floating campaign promises and half-baked fluff. Then re- introducing bills of no hope when Rs take over. Please, this is theater.
And I feel your terror at the descent into Authoritarianism, Fascism if you like. But in my mind, I look at America through the lens of Dallas, November 1963 and personally in Spring 1968 at Columbia University. And it has been a Fascist fucking country for quite some time. But I look at Obama and Biden administrations and I see no reason to hope that a Harris or any status quo politics is going to be "better".
I do get it and agree, except that this is seriously bad in so many ways: cutting food, healthcare, research, the EPA, wanting to drill everywhere, not to mention how much worse it would get. And it's not like voting for Stein or not voting was going to make any difference. Instead of cursing the duo poly, we need to find real ways to change it, if there are any. Personally, I think the whole fabulous planet is doomed by greed and ignorance.
You wanna burn out their eyes, Jenny? Blind leading the blind? I think we already have that here in Murica. Hopeless situation -- too many layers of un-seeing, perception of numerous phantom realities, but rarely anything approaching veritas.
Biden hates ALL Americans. Supported by a gutless Congress, this slimeball glorified murder and mayhem. No sewage plant would want anything to do with this dreg of humanity. He's ugliness personified, the wretched refuse of a nation now showing it's going down, down, down. He's not the only president we've had that detested Americans. Bye, Joe, we'll do our best to remember you as the most hated President in our history.
Yes, he definitely did have some accomplishments and did some good. Biden also made progress on cancelling some student debt, and many other things.
And that's what people need to understand - politics is RARELY a black-and-white issue - there are some positive developments and some negative developments. Though with Trump, for the life of me I can see NO positive accomplishments/developments (unless you are talking about the benefits for the oligarchy, corporations, and tech-bros, and monopolists).
There MAY be unintended consequences (both positive and negative) arising from an administration's policies, but I'm unwilling to give ANY Administration ANY credit for such effects.
Putin is very similar to Trump - another strongman - fascist, authoritarian, dictatorial. Like you said in your comment - not many people (on this substack) understand or have enough knowledge about Russia and its history, hence the over-representation of Russo-philes here.
Do you seriously consider suspending civil rights, enforcing illegal mandates and forced injection with experimental technology that is completely ineffective against a theoretical threat to be “doing quite a commendable job”?
Have been a far-left, ultra-liberal, democratic socialist since the 1980s. Odd that both wings of the american political party bird accuse me of aligning with the other when my disgust for political affiliation is completely non-partisan. How are you not embarrassed by or at least concerned about posting support for genocide funding politicians on a public social media platform where your support for genocide will remain as evidence to be used against you when war crimes trials begin?
Are you denying that the biden administration enforced ineffective “mandates” and restrictions that violated civil rights and suspended liberties like congregating in public parks and libraries and churches?
Are you denying that an experimental technology was forced on the population through requiring injections that violated bodily autonomy? Injections that although promoted with ceaseless propaganda as a sure-fire termination of the theoretical phantom proved to do nothing to prevent “infection” and in fact increased risk of sickness and are correlated with serious adverse reactions?
Do you not consider restricting congregation in public spaces like restaurants, parks and churches/libraries/community centers, forced masking and mandatory injection with experimental technology to be suspension of civil liberties or do you just deny that they happened? Or are you just one of those delusional, obsessive compliance disorder sufferers who actually still beLIEve there was/is a “covid” “virus”.
you think that a theoretical phantom more than 109 million Americans “recovered” from somehow killed 1 million Americans? Less than 1% of the “infected”.
But I am the insane conspiracy nut?
When, where, how and by who was the “sars-cov2” “virus” obtained from a patient suffering distinct illness with no other known or suspected cause, reduced to a purified isolate required to establish Gold Standard for diagnostic testing and demonstrated to cause identical illness when “infecting” a new host?
How else is disease causation demonstrated and proven?
Without purified isolate to establish Gold Standard for diagnostic testing what exactly are tests testing for other than non-specific biological markers considered synonymous with infection by the phantom theoretical “virus” but that have NEVER been demonstrated to cause disease?
Clearly you are the crazy one.
Failure of the religion of virology has been the main focus of my life since 1987.
Let me guess…you probably still beLIEve that a theoretical “hiv” “virus” causes sexually transmitted epidemic immune failure disease that although proposed theory of it’s existence predicted “explosion into general heterosexual population” by 1990 is still forty years later primarily restricted to original risk groups obsessively testing and treating/pre-treating for the theoretical phantom, don’t you?
Wait!! Are you one of those suffering from Obsessive Compliance Disorder who actually still beLIEves that there was/is a deadly “Covid” “virus”?
Are you unaware that the Warp Speed rushed experimental mRNA injection was/is completely useless at preventing illness and in fact is linked to countless deaths and injuries and serious adverse reactions?
All you fucking people are jerks, you all deserve being associated with the republicon party. Biden inherited a shit economy because of mango Mussolini. But you're to fucking stupid to know it.

Yes, I know that, my comment was about the "incorrect framing" in your comment pertaining to corporate bankruptcies.
Biden enabled a genocide on behalf of Netanyahu. I’m afraid your hero is a war criminal.
No one is disputing that he inherited a mess but when he was elected there wasn’t a genocide. HE is responsible for the deaths of at least 250K people half of which are women and children and he didn’t give a fuck. He gave Bibi weapons and money to get this going and to continue it.

ONE telephone call. No more Arms for Israel. That is all Biden needed to do.
Who started the Ukraine Mess?
Yes, it would have taken only a phone call, if he had the freedom and mental aptitude to do so. he is cruel man, so don`t think he wanted to stop Netanyahu. but even if I`m wrong and he wanted to stop them, I doubt he would he have be allowed to make the call?

No humanity. Ha! What a laugh. I want justice, cold hard vengeance fuck humanity.
I was going laugh at your oxymoronic comment, but its just too depressing, you so vividly demonstrate the idiocy of so many hypocritical minds.
Well your belief that these creatures are "Part of you" and that they are somehow "Human" is not my belief. They are not human and deserve nothing but the worst form of torture. How many of your friends have died to serve the greed and evil of these creatures? I have many and no qualms in tearing their hearts out in front of them.
I understand what you are saying tre peperoncini. But he is not going to end up in Jail is he? Karma
Of course not, and it`s not Karma, it`s just simple fact he is old, he is 83, Biden, Bush Jr,Dick Cheney, Hillary Clinton, Victoria Nuland, Obama, Condoleezza Rice, Blinken, Sullivan etc... None of these evil bastards has ever been held responsible for the carnage they have wrought upon the world.

The correct form of the word is "too". I don't bother with fucktards who can't speak my language. Forse parliamo italiano cazzo-testa?
Si dice "testa di cazzo"
Grazie, sono stato stanco ed anche arrabiato a quello cretino.
Hai fatto benissimo.
So you're (note the correct spelling) quite happy, perhaps eager for your tax dollars to be sent to Israel so they can have free healthcare, which Biden approved of, but you and your fellow American citizens cannot?
Davina
Now that's a valid comment
That has nothing whatsoever to do with his support for genocide. Not a thing.
Shut up pro-rape sim of bitch! Shut up genocide supporter 🤮
No, I won't, and you can't make me. Go boil your backside. I do not support rape or genocide, which is why I hate Israel.
Yeah, you support the one enable it and support it. Bravo
You will meet god soon and you will know what you did
There is no god. Grow TF up.
We don't claim the Republicans either, sweetheart. It's obvious you never paid attention so let me put reality in words even you can understand: BOTH PARTIES ARE THE SAME!

Happy to be called a Jerk by you James. This is the MOST egregious CRIME in History. No 'scapegoating.'
What's coming for you people is going to be BAD.
Shut up you pro-tape Zionist creature. Fuck you and fuck Biden. You both will burn in HeELL
You are a Genocide supporter so your opinion is worth less than smeared dog shit on a sidewalk. Biden deserves more pain than this. Biden is also a rapist and a traitor.
Sticks and stones. Anything to say about Biden’s complicity in genocide?
Just what the fuck are you “feeding your head” with, wanker?
Oh look, another asinine D No Matter Who! 😂

You’re obviously a soulless bastard!
Biden was doing quite a commendable job until he went all in funding torture and genocide, and calling himself a Zionist, thereby destroying any good will he had built.
Did you forget about the Ukraine war? NATO expansion? Anti-China foreign policy? And don't forget that Biden deported more immigrants than Trump (US deportations under Biden surpass Trump's record -> https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c36e41dx425o) or (Comparing the Biden and Trump Deportation Records -> https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/biden-deportation-record)
Biden messed up the Afghanistan withdrawal, kept the same increased trade tariffs from the Trump term, knifed labor unions in the back (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/dec/01/joe-biden-rail-strike-labor-unions), and did NOTHING to combat INFLATION.
In fact, the reason so many people voted for Trump is BECAUSE Biden didn't do much for the American people (and Trump will be even worse). In Biden's term, inflation rose, inequality grew, police brutalization continued unabated, billionaires increased their wealth by trillions (https://inequality.org/article/billionaire-wealth-up-88-percent-over-four-years/), and more.
