    It’s class war. It’s been class war all along.

    That’s why the courts and the legacy media and the bulk of the political establishment have been at the very least enabling him - because what he’s in fact doing, and has been doing since the beginning, is working for the explicit benefit of himself and his moneyed class cronies, to the detriment of everyone else.

  • Wow, really? But I thought he wanted to make Mexico and Denmark pay for things, and do all’s kinda of stuff to help people?

    It’s almost like some fucking idiots voted a guy into office who doesn’t care about them, and wants to create a feudalistic state or something. Like…who ever even saw that coming?

    Fuck you. Fuck anyone surprised by any of this. They wrote it down. They lied to your face and laughed when they were called out. If you are feigning surprise you’re either willfully ignorant or outright mental.

    I was listening to a podcast (Professional Left) and they played a clip of some caller who was saying the country voted for donvict because they wanted him to ignore the Constitution in order to deal with the emergency (I think she was talking about the border) and then “hopefully” he’d restore it afterwards.

    JFC, these people are so very fucking stupid. I know, I know, Yahweh forbid we blame the fucking stupid voters that voted for this shit. Obviously this is all Biden and Kamala’s fault.

      The number of people still mad at Biden…

      I work in a college financial aid office, an one of my responsibilities is outreach to former students whose loans are in delinquent or default status. This is the only part of my job that makes me want to quit, but that’s besides the point.

      The number of people who rant about Biden forgiving random people’s loans but not theirs, or forgiving student loans of celebrities and athletes (that’s apparently a talking point for these people?) is staggering.

      I like to remind them that 1) Biden did try to offer sweeping forgiveness of 10-20k, but he did not have the authority to do so on his own, so he acted with the authority he had, and 2) now Republicans have full control of the executive and legislative branches, so we can wait to benefit from their plan to help students. I get crickets on that last point.

      and then “hopefully” he’d restore it afterwards.

      Because this is, of course, what happens, generally, based on historical facts.

      Its well known most dictators step down, once the immediate emergency is over with, right folks?

      Right?

        I’m sure they will have started grooming his successor by then. Even if he tries to push for extending term limits his cognition will be on a steep decline at that point.

    That’s because “woke” just means “everything I hate.” And if there’s one thing Trump hates, it’s everything but himself.

      It’s defined as “Everything I might have to expend emotional or intellectual effort to understand and be placed in a position where I might be inconvenienced, proven what I’m used to doing is wrong, or demonstrate consideration that the thoughts and feelings of others might be different than my own.”

      If it’s any of that, I get to be angry about it.

      It sucks being right about all this because going “I told you this would happen” during the worst crisis America has faced since the civil war just makes us look petty and a dick.

      I tried warning people about this. I wanted Trump in jail. I wanted Biden to push for large reforms to make people turn away from Trump’s lies about how he will personally fix the economy. I wanted the court packed into overturning every bad choice they made in the last 20 years.

      And I was called defeatist and pessimistic. “It takes time to arrest someone for a crime they committed.” “Bringing that issue up would be political suicide.”

      And now we’re stuck with Trump.

        Right? My short list for Biden was, handle the covid pandemic, prosecute Trump and his cronies, close down the inhumane border camps.

        He went 0/3 on it.
