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
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.
She’s already been Sitting President, if you count that.
wanton baby murder wasn’t enough to get him to change his position, so, i wouldn’t hold my breath about this one
Oligarch warns of oligarchy
On what fucking planet is Biden an oligarch
"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.
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.
Can you please cite a source on school shooters who got off scott free?
Ok, so I was going with the online buzz around Luigi described in this article. According to the article, the claim is debunked but it then goes on to describe how school shooters have received terrorism charges and ended up with life in prison, but gives no examples of school shooters being given the death penalty. So I’m half wrong, as far as I’m concerned. They did almost immediately start talking about the death penalty for Luigi. And they haven’t gone that far with school shooters.
Several school shooters have been tried with the death penalty, no different than Mangione in that regard. In case you were unaware, Luigi hasn’t even been tried until his court date in February, after which a Jury will give their verdict and then a much later date Sentencing will be decided.
It would be unusual for capital punishment to be carried out in Mangione’s case even if he gets that sentence, even among those who are given the death penalty usually end up waiting years or even decades and by then a politician might come out and commute it forcing them to live out their lives in prison, such as the Biden administration commuting 37 such sentences but choosing not to commute several such as the Boston Marathon Bomber.
Thanks for the better context. So all the talk and buzz is online hype that I got caught up in, clearly. Editing my original comment.
“Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights, the freedoms and the fair shot for everyone to get ahead,” Biden said.
You could have spoken up about this and done something about it over the last 4 years buddy.
It’s only an oligarchy bc he lost
What is it that you propose he had done in the last 4 years?
The 2016 Maga tax plan doesn’t expire until 2026, so that’s out the window.
Executive orders can’t really do much about economy or individuals.
Congress was deadlocked senate 50:50 and house majority was lost in 2022.
The FTC and other federal offices were already investigating monopolies and giving out massive record breaking billions in fines.
He cancelled billions if not trillion or more in debts for students, veterans, medical debts, etc.
The treasury and the fed controlling rates reversed the inflation that peaked in his first year as president despite it not serving the interests of hedge funds.
Seems like Biden was a good president who followed the rules and did everything that he could.

This fucking guy…
He even turned off the “Contact Us” portion of whitehouse.gov. Trash.
Really… You think Joe gave the order to turn that off? I can’t even imagine
You suppose either that:
- he never read the communication from whitehouse.gov
- he never cared about it
- he isn’t or wasn’t aware of it
- he wasn’t told about the change
What’s the best explanation?
He has staff who have autonomy to make decisions on the trivial things, so he can focus on big picture. In any org over about 35 people, you kind of need to do that, otherwise the exec is going to be killed by a thousand papercuts
He has staff who have autonomy to make decisions on the trivial things, so he can focus on big picture.
He has staff to ignore the plebs for him. Who do we think we are, Netanyahu?
He probably should have led with this speech.
Yeah, thanks for not doing anything about it and instead just coast for the last 2 fucking months. Super helpful.
Man worth 10 million dollars warns of rule by the rich.
I guess he would know.
(With all due acknowledgement that 10 million is chump change for the likes of Elan and Musky)
Dude 10 mil is like LA upper middle class
Hence “with all due acknowledgement” because I understand that 10 mil is nothing, comparatively.
But I also understand that, to the Amazon warehouse worker with a net worth of a few thousand, or the disabled person who isn’t allowed to have a net worth greater than 2 thousand, 10 mil is a a fuck ton of money. You know, comparatively.
Y’all mfs are in the thousands? I can’t save more than 500 bucks without the universe creating that exact amount in a surprise expense as soon as I’ve saved it.
Yeah, hypothetically anyway. I technically count as being “in the thousands” because I own my home and car but I have no savings, no retirement, and have only 3 digits in my bank account which will go down to 2 digits soon enough.
That’s the tricky thing about “net worth.” It can be a very descriptive way of measuring things.
I’m pretty sure it still puts him in the top 5% of our population by net worth
For real, a couple of nice vehicles, a couple of properties, a business of 30-50 employees, and maybe a small team of domestic employees cleaners, sitters, contractors, security… thats what 10mil buys you. and im stretching it.
basically described my boss, minus the cleaners , sitters and security guards thing. (and his business is a modest sized car dealership…)
He’s a guy that spent his entire career setting us up for this…
Remember when he helped make sure student loan debt couldn’t be erased during bankruptcy?
Good times Joe. /s
Timely.
Good riddance.
Rot in hell Joe.
