      “Biden is old.”

      “Hey, let’s go with a guy that’s equally old, but also a lifelong asshole, felon, rapist, and pedophile with 2 impeachments and a failed presidency already under his belt.”

      “Sounds great to me.”

      I’m betting it’s not just pedophilia.

      I’m waiting for the documents that show he’s sent hits on victims and threatened their family.

      And still no section 25.

      Still no impeachment.

      And still the MAGA mind churns.

    Boomers have overstayed their welcome. The spoiled generation took the greatest wealth ever seen, became spoiled by it, sqandered it, and left X, Millennials, Zoomers, and Alpha holding the bag (climate change, broken empire, insurmountable debt, political instability, unstable social safety net, etc.). They will not be missed.

      Cuz more and more now, I’m being told that I’m a scumbag, the scourge of society and that we all had it easy-peasy in the 80s. Because of course we did: obviously we’re the cause of everything that’s wrong in the world today, and our evil boomer parents even more so!

      Nah but Biden also didn’t make sure to choose an AG to actually put the motherfuckers in the Epstein files behind bars, either. It’s not like the Epstein information magically appeared when Trump became President, he literally ran in 2024 on the fact that Democrats hadn’t released the files. This information was available when Biden was President. Epstein was (very likely) murdered while Trump was President the first time.

      So, fuck Biden anyway, he was focusing on all this “decorum” shit when it comes to a fucking network of pedophiles and rampant corruption and oops didn’t want to make it “lOoK PoLiTiCaL” to go after criminality. Now the same people they didn’t want to look political prosecuting don’t give one single fuck about looking political in prosecuting their perceived enemies.

      Fuck, Biden was literally handed a free pass when the Supreme Court ruled that when a President does it, it’s not a illegal. He could have done any number of things to prevent this with the backing of a Supreme Court decision that was tailored to support Trump but technically applied to any President.

      Democrats may not be in the files, but they sat on their fucking asses writing strongly worded letters and throwing up their hands going “but it’s too hard to make sure they go down! Gears of justice turn slowly, so slowly that Trump can be voted back into office even with all this hanging over him!”

      It’s a crock of shit, Democrats are culpable for not taking this fight to the mat and instead being wishy washy limp dicks who handed over the reigns of the government to corruption twice in a row.

        It’s not even his appointment of Garland, though, who is equally guilty. Trump could have been Biden’s Al Copone, who Hoover made his personal mission to take down. It’s ultimately the leader’s job to protect their citizens, and he was apparently too lazy.

          I honestly don’t even care if our president accidentally shits themselves. I mean, it happens.

          What I do care about is if our president has such a fragile ego that they’ll lie and punish other people because they shit their pants. The kind of person who will accuse everyone else of shitting their pants, but only because that person’s own pants are constantly weighed down by dookies. The kind of person who can’t forgive themselves for a little brown downtown, so they steal and extort an entire country, just so that they can extort other countries and become friends with other people who love lying about their bowel movements.

            I honestly don’t even care if our president accidentally shits themselves.

            And the problem with that, is that other people do. And if you don’t pick a candidate that is acceptable to a broad enough coalition to win the election: you don’t win the election.

            Its not a matter of what you’ll accept out of a candidate; its a matter of what the electorate will accept as a candidate. And while you might be accepting of pants-shitter to make some of the most impactful decisions that will affect almost every person on the planet, the American people wont. You being willing to accept less makes you irrelevant; you aren’t a vote we need to work to get. Which is fine. Its your vote. Do what you will. You don’t need to have standards.

            But, by putting the bar so low and accepting a pants-shitter, you sabotage our collective ability to actually get that person into office. It should be obvious to you now, that not enough other people wanted to elect a pants-shitter. And as a cohort, the Biden apologists, by insisting that everyone else lower their standards to that of a geriatric who was barely present, these people are saboteurs who kneecapped our ability to stop Trump.

            And since you have such low standards, I expect that you should be willing to accept that your view doesn’t matter and shouldn’t be weighted as highly as people who need something more, like a specific set of policies or a certain level of competency. We don’t need to work for your vote: you’ll vote for a pants-shitter. This is great because it lets us narrow down the field to candidates for people who do have some standards, for example, that they don’t want to vote for someone who is an advocate for genocide them as a people. Or who want police reform. Or any number of other issues. Literally any ones opinion should be weighted more highly, since, like you said, you’ll basically vote for anyone, even a barely walking, senile geriatric, who shits their pants on stage.

              That’s some impressively aggressive ableist language dripping throughout your comment. I assume your words come from anger and not thinking about perspectives other than the one that upsets you the most. Lots of people shit their pants, it wasn’t something that our last two presidents invented.

              Behold, a president who needed significant assistance, because he’d otherwise have shit his pants. And possessed the kind of personality I mentioned where he wouldn’t have made pointing out other people’s poopie pants his entire identity:

          He’s also guilty of enabling, and in some cases directly sending American armed forces to participate in, an internationally-recognized genocide.

      DEPORT CRIMINAL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS

      If they could stick with that, then it’d be a good*-sounding* idea – who doesn’t want to deport criminals who immigrated from somewhere else to be violent?

      Sadly they’re as incompetent as they are violent, and they can’t even deliver on that since they don’t even know the how of due process; or the why. It’s a “best I can do is gestapo” kind of situation. And for that, they need a Nuremberg. And lots of rope.

      That’s actually how it is supposed to work. Police arrest criminals. If they turn out to be undocumented then ICE is called. Now frame that question in a way that asks if they support what ICE is actually doing, which is harassing people based on ethnicity, yanking random people off the street, holding people in deplorable concentration camps, kicking in doors based on memos they call warrants, beating and gassing protestors, and murdering legal observers.

      None of it reasonably Biden’s fault, but he got stuck with it happening on his watch so lot’s of people need to blame something vaguely controllable so they blame and vote against the president.

        They’re not experiencing the same reality

        HyperNormalisation is a 2016 BBC documentary by British filmmaker Adam Curtis. It argues that following the global economic crises of the 1970s, governments, financiers and technological utopians gave up on trying to shape the complex “real world” and instead established a simpler “fake world” for the benefit of multi-national corporations that is kept stable by neoliberal governments. The film was released on 16 October 2016 on BBC iPlayer.[2]


        The word hypernormalisation was coined by Alexei Yurchak, a professor of anthropology who was born in Leningrad and later went to teach at the University of California, Berkeley. He introduced the word in his book Everything Was Forever, Until It Was No More: The Last Soviet Generation (2006), which describes paradoxes of Soviet life during the 1970s and 1980s.[3][4] He says everyone in the Soviet Union knew the system was failing, but no one could imagine any alternative to the status quo, and politicians and citizens alike were resigned to maintaining the pretense of a functioning society.[5] Over time, the mass delusion became a self-fulfilling prophecy, with everyone accepting it as the new norm rather than pretend, an effect Yurchak termed hypernormalisation.[6] It has since gained further resonance in the social media era in 2025 in the U.S.[7]

        It’s hardly surprising. While voting for Trump the first time could be an honest mistake - and possibly even the second time if you’re truly a dumbass - the third time, Trump voters deliberately voted for a convicted felon, sex offender, patented liar, insurrectionist fascist. They knew exactly what they were doing, they wanted this and Trump delivered exactly what they wanted.

        Those 49% are today’s America: a disgusting, fascist America. They’re the disease, Trump is only the symptom.

        True, true. But I could argue there was someone even more responsible than Bush…

        In 1995, Biden introduced the Omnibus Counterterrorism Act, which contained proposals that were later recycled into the 2001 Patriot Act.

        He also helped write the 1996 Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act, which he argued was a precursor to the Patriot Act.
