The guy who went to Kyiv a couple months ago and sang “Rockin’ In the Free World” at a bar? Yeah, he’s not out of touch at all. What a ghoul

No! That’s all I use Reddit for nowadays…

You should read up on McKinsey, the company that employed him as a consultant. They make Monsanto look like the Peace Corps.

Thank you.

Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is what fucks up your liver. Ibuprofen will cause stomach problems such as ulcers, but it won’t damage your liver.

Biden regularly ignores the express will of his constituents with regards to Israel, drug decriminalization, judicial overreach, tax reform, and immigration. His DOJ just forced a foreign national to plead guilty under US espionage laws. That’s all authoritarian as hell.

Also, the article specifically mentions policing and criminalization with regards to immigration and your response is that he TRIED to increase funding to ICE but the right wouldn’t let him. But that’s the whole point - more cops is not the answer. Abolish ICE. Giving them more money is the same solution Trump wants to implement. You realize we’re still putting kids in cages, right?

Wow this screenshot of four people with the same opinion talking to each other in an echo chamber has really changed my mind. Thanks, internet!

When I was a teen protesting the Iraq war (which Biden supported, btw) we couldn’t imagine anyone worse than Dubya. Now we have Trump. Still probably not responsible for as many dead as Bush, but one could argue he’s worse on the domestic front. Now Bush hangs out with Ellen and we all laugh at his paintings like he’s a harmless old man.

So, join me in a thought experiment. Ten years from now someone comes along who’s worse than Trump. Are you going to be telling me I have to vote for Trump because this other person is so much worse? Democrats scream about how great the economy is, but for whom? Not for me or anyone I know. Biden enacts these limp-dick half-measures that satisfy neither the right nor the left. He’s a bad politician. Period. His one job is to convince constituents to re-elect him. He can’t even accomplish that. But since his opponent is awful I have to vote for him. Fuck that.

Who was president when abortion was stripped of federal protection. Who was president when we started funding not one but two proxy wars overseas? Inflation. Shrinkflation. Student loans. You can bandy about all the google searches you want, the proof is in Americans’ day-to-day lives. Page one of the Dems playbook is to say, “Oh dear we wish we could help, but those pesky Republicans…!” And yet when they had control of the Exec and the Legislative branches in Obama’s first term, what leftist utopia did they create?

Read the transcript of Biden’s most recent Time interview. The whole thing. The man doesn’t complete a single thought. And we on the left love to shit on Trump (rightfully so) for talking like an incoherent hospice patient.

Palestine is merely the latest in a long long litany of disappointments, blunders, and outright betrayals (see the railworkers union-busting). If Biden was my employee I’d fire him. If he was my boss I’d quit. But he’s just my president so I’m not voting for him.

One year of beans and jeans. Here’s to many more!

Happy cake day, twin. I guess June 12th is like the baby boom for lemmy

The first rule of comstruction: attention to detail. Got it!

I carry them because I’m a professional musician and I just get sick of spelling my name for people. It has my booking email, instagram, and phone number on it. Super handy.

So, I’ve been on lemmy.world since I joined last year and everyone’s saying it’s too big. Lemmy.ml is the next-largest so I’m conflicted. What do?

I’ll always remember being 14 and going to get my pre-ordered copy of SC2. It came with a free t-shirt. They hand me this shirt which is just a giant picture of Ivy wearing basically nothing. The look on my mom’s face lol

Are they not smoking Virginia Slims these days?

I’m not sure where I read dark souls 4. It’s very late here in the US…

Seath the Scaleless caused me actual trauma.

Yeah he does an emergency broadcast at least once a fuckin month. Just like Trump raised over 38 mil after his convictions. It’s all a con job. To take a page from Knowledge Fight, the media really needs to learn how to cover ol’ AJ.

Hey, if all the idiots left I’d say that’s a win.

Looks like it got scraped from an Onion article.
