The Official Gosh Darned Biden Thread

[Fireball]

Spineless Dems get their excuse not to raise the minimum wage through Budget Reconciliation from Senate Parlimentarian Elizabeth McDonough.  How surprised they will act when they learn "Well, we tried but did nothing." doesn't really cut it with voters?

They'll just shrug and move along like always happens when confronted by governmental perfidy. I'm not sure what the actual answer is, short of a lot of bloodshed, TBH. I'm an old man, and not prone to shedding my blood anytime soon.

Wasn't the minimum wage raise blocked by an unelected parliamentarian and filibustered by 41 Republican senators representing 21% of the country, and that Dems are now trying to end the filibuster?

Let's face it: If Biden was serious about unity, he’d visit Trump in Mar-a-Lago.

I don't get it, CNN and MSNBC regularly aired Trump/Task Force press conferences knowing they perpetuated lies and misinformation.

But they are not airing Jen Psaki's which are filled with facts and important information.

Cousins are blaming Biden for the Texas power outages that are causing the distilleries to shut down or run at reduced capacity. Clearly a decision made several years ago in a state Biden has nothing to do with is his fault.

40 years of Reagan's failed deregulation and "don't tax the rich."

Deregulation which was no only upheld, but advanced by the Democrat Bill Clinton.

Then made even worse under the Republican George Bush.

Then the Democrat Obama bailed out the banks so they wouldn't have to face any consequences for their reckless lending, even as countless Americans lost their homes. Sure, some of the most reckless banks still haven't regained their market share from 2008, but the bank bosses made off with severance packages bigger than anything the average American could ever dream of.

Then the Republican(?) Trump did almost nothing for four years & the entire world was treated to the hysterical screeching of every news anchor & hysterical childless woman of how evil he was for saying some things, except the one time when he murdered a few people in Syria & we were told that was very 'presidential,' or that one time he murdered a foreign statesman & we were treated to endless, utterly enraging gloating from the American media.

Now the Democrat Joe Biden is in office, & you're going to get another four years of favours for bankers, rapidly increasing corporate control of the US government, your tax dollars paying for the murder of women & children on the other side of the world, billions of dollars for Israel to pay for her illegal settlements, growing income inequality, declining infrastructure, cultural degradation and the neverending growth of the security state at the expense of your civil liberties. Or, in more concise terms, the same thing you got under Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama & Donald Trump.

But this time, you're going to cheer for it because the corporate salesman on your TV screen tells you that Biden is a nice man that cares about you and has a heart, plus he wears a blue tie instead of a red one. National direction? Values? Purpose? Meaning? Culture? Justice? Freedom? Beauty? These things go straight past you. You see them like a eunuch sees a pretty girl. They don't arouse any passions in you, because you are soulless little lemmings. Americans speak of justice while you scorch your local car dealership, you speak of freedom while the NSA records & files everything they say, you speak of patriotism while your sons (& now daughters too, how wonderful that Americans have brought equal-opportunity even to the field of state-sanctioned murder) are sent to the other side of the world to murder men that have absolutely nothing to do with your country.

You are not the land of the free, you are the greatest collection of jingoistic, authoritarian boobs in world history. You are unworthy of the country you have inherited or stumbled into, whichever it happens to be in your particular case. There is not a corrupt dictator in history that wouldn't have sold his own mother to have you as his people, because there is absolutely nothing you will not only endure, but cheer for. There is not a single government, either historical or theoretical, that you would not be happy under so long as your TV told you to be, nor is there anything good upon which you would not trample if so told by your TV.

Are you presently living in the United States, or have you at some prior time lived a significant amount of time in the United States?

What all noncrazy people got from that rant

What all noncrazy people got from that rant 

To think people like you are voting. They might as well be rigging the machines, because there is no effective difference between letting TV addled lemmings decide political outcomes & simply letting corporate America make up the vote counts.

'Biden bombing Syria? The government surveillance system that far outdoes anything they had even in prisons a hundred years ago? Assange thrown in prison for exposing the crimes of the Bush administration? Crazy talk, I have a ballgame to watch, leave me alone.'

You really are disgusting, you know that? But you will face the consequences. Even though the cultural degradation, corruption, murder and plutocracy doesn't phase you, unless you are terminally ill or very old, you will not escape rising wage inequality, you will not escape the decaying infrastructure, you will not escape paying for wars that have nothing to do with you, you will not escape the rising levels of crime. You may be too much a soulless automaton for even this to bother you, but you will at least loose some of your ill-deserved comfort & security.
