he gets the number of kids shot dead at Kent State wrong as well, claiming seventeen were shot dead. (four were killed, nine injured)

    Biden’s public persona of being a doddering old fool undercuts what he also is: an easily angered and self-destructively stubborn man. He has always devolved into a threat-maker and insult-thrower by the slightest criticism, whether from a journalist or a member of the public.

    Whether it’s “Listen, fat,” or when he threatened to throw a guy’s phone or when he responded to a black news anchor asking him about cognitive tests with something like “Why don’t we make you take a cocaine test!” Biden is exceptionally ornery, and incapable of being reasoned with when in that state.

    That is why there was that expose article about how Biden’s inner circle is neolib/neocon lackeys like Joe Scarborough and Larry Summers, while savvy staffers more cognizant of his actual perception by the public are reluctant to clue him into any upsetting realities, lest Biden chews them out and sidelines them.

    I know that ex-Trump staffers said that Presinald Trunt would often outright shout that he was going to have them executed or jailed, but I think the impotent cartoonishness of such threats is less menacing than when Biden gets in your face and grits his teeth and growls out in hushed tones a genuine and feasible consequence.

      It’s funny to me (in a sad way) how this shit is the only way to see Biden becoming lucid and coherent

      Man slurs and stumbles and mumbles his way around 90% of the time, but the moment anyone pushes back he goes into full attack dog mode before reverting to brain pudding ten minutes later

        sorry Supreme Court said no to the method everyone said was the weakness route possible so we’re not going to do anything except forgive those that should have been forgiven years ago

        why aren’t people happy this is how I’m doing forgiveness

    And then a short time later, an absolutely massive amount of those exact young people voted for him. He could come out and directly say “This is a message to the youth. I will not make your life better. I will only expand wars and keep the money flowing up.” And then MILLIONS of young voters would vote for him. I can’t think about it too hard or else it kind of breaks my brain

      Would you elaborate? What specifically has he done? Genuinely interested, and if you have a serious point to make - I hope you’ll see the value in making claims with examples and evidence

      I love the little lemmy liberals that sometimes pop up into threads like these to drop some super fucking obscure “win” Biden did like capping the price of insulin to $169 for women who own a teacup dog grooming salon in a developing neighborhood northwest of a river and five miles south of an interstate MOTHER FUCKER JUST GIVE PEOPLE STIMULUS CHECKS.

      What’s even more pathetic is that he’s STILL too far left for the Overton window.

      I’m sure a good 20% of all the record inflation we’ve seen is just a 4-year long tantrum by corporate America that the friendly face of the red tie party lost and they need to convince voters to vote away the scaaaaary blue tie party.

    In retrospect this wasn’t a crazy thing of him to say, since he was planning on making everything so much worse

    “Back in 19 oh 3 when I was just a lad in Scranton PA - my pappy used to say - he’d said - he used to say - he said - ‘Son, kids today don’t remember how hard it was during the Great Depression.’ And lemme tell you even though a full course meal cost only a nickel each - every penny was hard scrabble earned. Kids today are all real lazy and don’t think right because of the internet and video games…”
