And spent the past 4 weeks doing fuck all to stop it. Whatever, I guess this is just the ultimate post-Reagan Dems “they go low, we go high” moment.
“Trump is a Nazi and he will end the world if you dont vote Democrat.” > “Alright, I’m gonna hand the reigns over to the nazi who’s going to end the world. It’s the principled thing to do.”
If he refused to hand over the White House that would make him a dictator himself. Like it or not Americans voted for Trump. Even the ones that didn’t vote for whatever dumb reason.
Sure, and Weimar Germany voted for Hitler. Tell me, what exactly is the point of democracy if someone can legally be elected to end democracy? What exactly is the point, if you can just vote someone in who will end democracy? I would argue that one non-democratic act is literally and absolutely superior in every way to literally ending democracy.
But what the fuck do i know I’m just a trans woman sitting here absolutely horrified that several of my trans friends who live in the southern states could be arrested in a week or two for existing. That trans youth across the country are going to be forced to detransition. A whole generation of dead kids because a dictator takes over the country and to appease his rabid voter base puts their rights on the chopping block.
It was all a fucking lie. WW2 wasn’t the last time. The holocaust wasn’t the last time. No one learned a single fucking lesson. All the liberals who say “If I was in Germany I’d never have supported the nazis” are absolutely categorically full of shit. It never mattered. They could start rounding people up in the street and peoples primary response would be either annoyance at the blood on their shoes or passive distant pity. And I’m so fucking done with it honestly. Democracy is an empty word. It means nothing. If you live in America you have never once lived in a democratic society, not even if you’re a boomer. It’s just now the dictators are no longer even pretending that the system has any other purpose than mass violence and exploitation. They don’t have to pretend. They’ve convinced half the world those things are good.

Are you under some pretense that I myself can stem the tide of transphobic violence? Are you suggesting it is personally my responsibility to end fascism, even as millions of people stand by doing nothing while the lives of an entire community are threatened?
How dare you use the words “mad” or “afraid” to describe the feeling of living under the impending threat of state violence.

Oh okay, it’s that simple. That’s why we’re here… Wait… uhhh… No
Hopefully the US will go the same route and end up firebombed and scavenged by foreign powers.
I sure as shit did not vote for Trump. I only want him upside down like a certain Italian leader he emulates.
I can’t blame him. When my shift ends it’s somebody else’s problem.
Especially if your shift ends and you should have been retired nearly 20 years ago.
Yah except it was by choice he didn’t retire sooner
Except that firefighters dont usually let the fire grow and spread while sitting on their hands and then hand it off at the end of the day with a shrug.
But cops will absolutely make everything worse for others. We can cherrypick jobs as examples.
The genocide wasnt somebody elses problem. Nor was the election that he bungled and sabotaged.
To be fair the entire last 4 years has been past his naptime at every moment of every day, so he had to delegate everything to whatever randos he could find.

IBGYBG: Motto of the leadership of the Democratic Party
IBGYBG? Ivan Brought Guns, You Better Go? That’s an odd motto to have 🤔

"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.
Guess you shoulda done something about that Joe. Like say, when you were president?
Properly prosecute Trump, for example.
He did. He helped build it.
Sleepy Joe is a good nickname because apparently he’s been asleep for the last 50 years.
“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.
He said democracy was at stake more times than I can count. But he was met with laughter, old man jokes, humiliation, claims of hyperbole and fear mongering, and takes like this from media:
https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/4198204-no-president-biden-american-democracy-isnt-at-stake/
But eggs went up 25¢ so Hitler.
I mean he should’ve put his money where his mouth was in Trump’s prosecution. The fact that Trump is walking free right now is unequivocally the fault of Biden and Garland.
Yup. That’s the job.
Maybe if he could speak with more gusto than a dying electronic greeting card, we’d actually believe that he meant it.
Before that, too. He’s very much contributed to it himself, what with the bankruptcy bill, that awful crime bill that was so beneficial to the oligarchs who profit from carceral slavery, his tireless advocacy for MBNA, and much, much more.
His political NASCAR jacket would be so full that you wouldn’t be able to read the individual names, but it would have an enormous Israeli flag on it.
It’s only an oligarchy bc he lost
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
It really impressed me how he pardoned that corrupt judge on the way out. Just to prevent anyone from having positive memories of him.
Not even any corrupt judge. He pardoned the Cash4Kids judge.
Yeah, thanks dude, for not actually doing anything about it. Enjoy your millions in retirement.
President Biden warns of ‘oligarchy’ as he bids farewell to five decades in
politicsservice to the oligarch-beholden establishmentFixed it for them.
It’d be much better for him to just stay quiet and fade away into obscurity. Every word out of his mouth since that absurd debate has hurt him, his party, and the country at large. His legacy will not be what he hopes.
Biden may not be super-wealthy, but his presidency is a reflection of our country’s political stagnation. And while he’s no oligarch, he’s certainly the poster boy for elite entitlement to power.
Just a reminder, only a few days ago, Biden still said he would have beaten Trump. This man is not living in reality anymore.
Super-wealthy? No. Still wealthy. Worth $10 million, plus all of the government benefits.
Oh damn, I didn’t realize he was that wealthy. Should’ve looked it up. All the more reason he should have retired ages ago.
It’s almost impossible to be a Federal politician and not be wealthy.
Especially when you’re on the side of the establishment, which Biden was his entire far too long career.
To be fair, when he was a senator, he was the lowest paid one iirc. Or at least close to it. Being VP must have changed all that.
Explains one of the many reasons why Trump ran. Get out of jail free card, and help get out of bankruptcy.
With hundreds of companies lining up to give him money as bribes, I’d say he’s already got what his greed wanted.
Thank God Joe promised to address this issue before taking office:
“Nothing will fundamentally change.”
Ah. Die of gonorrhea and burn in hell, then.
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.
This just in: Oligarch warns about other oligarchs
Oligarch warns of oligarchy
On what fucking planet is Biden an oligarch
Are you fucking kidding me? He’s a plutocrat.
You have to have a LOT more money than Joe has to be a plutocrat. A LOT more
Its still rule by the rich if the politicians are appointed and work for the rich.
Also Biden is rich by every measure
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?

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.
Same! I have been able to save money exactly three times in my life, and every time I got to those points, either my car needed repairs for something or new tires, an animal gets sick and needs my immediate attention, or even my own health is at risk.
The universe has never treated me very kindly, although it does throw me some crumbs every once in awhile.
Just wanted to let you know you are not alone!
We should be rioting
I know. Most people are happy to be blissfully ignorant though, so the numbers would be very hard to get.
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
descriptivedeceptive way of measuring things.Edit: is the autocorrect error why I was getting down votes? I can’t figure out what else people would be objecting to :(
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
Remember when Joe Biden pushed for crime bills to systemically arrest BIPOC so prisons never ran out of labor and “tough on crime” looks good to the media?
Classic Uncle Joe!
Yeah, thanks for not doing anything about it and instead just coast for the last 2 fucking months. Super helpful.
