The Biden Administration (No Lago)

[Neo Phonelobster Prime]

The wandering ghost of Joe Biden and its enablers are in fact so Zionist that actual cynical American Imperialists think he is doing it wrong.

[Omegonthesane]

The historical tendency behind guys like Biden is that the USA has tended to benefit from preventing some kind of pan-arab union, because even as a vassal it'd be a big enough vassal to kick up a fuss here and there (like the EU). So having a belligerent and unpredictable attack dog in the region physically between Lebanon and Egypt helps them prevent unity in the area.

It would be very easy to argue that Israel has outlived its usefulness in this historical role given the PR impact it's having on the USA at the moment, but I'm not yet convinced on that score & Biden has a clear personal bias that is at the very least impacting his calculation of the best way to maintain US hegemony. Not every pro-Amerika ghoul has reached the same conclusion, let alaone actually decent folks (though admittedly it's hard to pick out pro-Amerika ghouls who are also competent analysts).

Biden condemned a protest outside of a synagogue in LA as anti Semitic.

I can't imagine why besides antisemitism anyone would protest outside a synagogue and I will not be finding out from newspaper coverage of the protest because the newspapers keep not explaining the purpose of the protest.*



* I'm lying of course I know why. Because they were literally having an auction to sell stolen land in the west bank in the synagogue at that time. A thing Biden unequivocally supports.

[MGuy]

Biden, a little while ago claimed that there was an Israeli peace deal coming down the pipelines. A prospect that clearly Netanyahu has made very clear isn't on the table. When announcing it he was very vocal about how Hamas needs to agree to it. Of course since he was lying Israel has not only shit on that idea yet again but is reportedly pushing to expand the war.

Biden failing is not big or new. It certainly doesn't help his current political issues to come out and embarrass himself again. Confidence in Biden and his administration is only getting worse yet they keep piling on new Ls.

[Neo Phonelobster Prime]

Biden condemned a protest outside of a synagogue in LA as anti Semitic.

Whenever that happens in Australia it turns out the "outside a synagogue" is actually "in loosely the same suburb as a synagogue" and that the protesters "targeted" that suburb because it is the suburb they live in. And unless the protesters themselves are Jewish they rarely even know there is a synagogue "kinda nearby" you know, in an urban capital city.

This also often happens because synagogues here tend mostly to appear in suburbs where people from the middle east live. And also because sometimes the protesters include actual Jews, a population that also for some fucking reason tends to appear in or near the same places as synagogues.

The last "protest not really outside a synagogue" I remember in Australia was the one where in retaliation Zionists identified a local arab business owner among the protesters (he claimed he wasn't even there) and "counter protested" by burning his local small business down. Police said it was a mystery and the media made the original peace protesters apologize.

I think I already mentioned it a while back.

[Neo Phonelobster Prime]

Biden, a little while ago claimed that there was an Israeli peace deal coming down the pipelines.

Yeah, originally covered as galaxy genius reverse judo mind chess to trick the Isreali's into signing the deal Hamas already agreed to.

When it gosh shock did not work like that it turned into blame Hamas for "rejecting" it because they responded by saying "Yes, but how soon and can you guarantee that Israel will stick to the agreement?" which apparently in state department language translates to "No, because we are evil by our very nature in a really very racist way"

Personally I'm not convinced the entire thing wasn't just yet another childish distraction to cover for Israel while smearing Hamas from the beginning. But A LOT of media ACCROSS THE SPECTRUM was DESPERATE for it to be the first mind chess thing. The media Left, Centrist or OK maybe not much Right, they WANTED this fucking deal to be real and completed, they ALL yearned to believe.

[Kaelik]

Just a reminder that allegedly it was supposed to be good for the US to keep using US carrier groups to threaten other countries in the middle east to protect Israel because that was supposed to prevent a wider war.

Let's keep track on how successful those US threats were in preventing a wider war, vs actually emboldening Israel into starting a wider war over the next couple weeks as the US's own intelligence agencies predict Israel will "begin" a war with Hezbollah in the next couple weeks.

[Kaelik]

Supreme Court just ruled the president has absolute immunity for all crimes.

So the answer to the question "what can biden do about it?" Is "drone strike every Supreme court Justice and republican senator"

So yes, he's responsible for not fixing all the problems. Courts and legislatures literally cant stop him.

[tussock]

The ruling is really, that the courts can decide if a president was doing a president thing, and if he was, by say, being a republican president, that is above the law and only the senate can remove him from office because of it, and if he was not doing a presidential thing, by say, being a democratic president, then that's still possibly a crime and the courts can hear twenty years of appeals about it before the clock runs out.

Also, the Senate can still remove him from office, unless he murders enough of them first, or just doesn't let anyone testify, or whatever else that used to be a crime but isn't for a republican president now. But Trump was already doing that stuff, the only reason he didn't pardon everyone who refused to testify against him (like he promised them) was it would have make him look bad. And then the losers ended up in jail, and he's not gunna side with a loser.

I found it a bit weird how the news from the US was all headlines about how Biden had made a couple fairly minor mistakes on numbers that were at least in the right direction, in what he said in the debate, and therefore might be cognitively unfit to be president, and then, like in the fine print, it was a summary of Trump's 25 worst mistakes, some out by orders of magnitude in the wrong direction, but not all of them because there's not enough space to detail them all, and how do you even count them when it's layers of errors on top of errors.

But balance! You have to talk about both sides using the same words in the same space, or something. I guess Trump gives better tax cuts for oligarchs?

Anyway, I presume they know the enabling act in Nazi Germany was passed by virtue of Hitler turning out the militia and literally pointing guns at the whole surviving part of parliament (after he'd already had the communists murdered), and saying to them there was a looming and very personal tragedy for them in the wings (where the men with guns were standing) if they didn't vote for it. And I mean, the liberals did spend a few hours making him promise not to abuse his new powers before voting for it, very "courageous" of them, and he still killed them all later anyway.

Like, it's important that Presidents can commit crimes, just so, like, the military is allowed to say no, because it'd be a crime. The police can oppose any violence from the mobs, because it's a crime. Last time the top generals told him no, because it was a crime. I wish y'all luck though, it's a big and powerful country to go that way.

[Kaelik]

Lmao. No one was making fun of biden for getting some numbers wrong.

He was an incoherent mess mumbling his way through unintelligible sentences.

When he did say full sets of words it was shit like responding to a question about abortion by talking about how immigrants are rapists or how he defeated medicare.

Absolutely baffling how much people need to make up a fake biden who is good in their head.

[Neo Phonelobster Prime]

I swear though. The "we beat medicare" line. I think he has said it before.

[Kaelik]

Anyway, here's what people who actually voluntarily worked for the Biden admin have to say about the Biden admin:

Resignees said they experienced "an Admin that has prioritized politics over just & fair policymaking; profit over national security; falsehoods over facts; directives over debate; ideology over experience, and special interest over the equal enforcement of the law"

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/biden-ad ... babc7d44b9

Here's the direct letter from resignees: https://jointstatement.tiiny.site/

Maybe read that before trying to consider that Joe Biden is just a good old guy who's doing the best he can and is very good job but it's about what's possible and if the implementation concerns are valid!

[Neo Phonelobster Prime]

So I said that Biden is trying to delay and play out the available time to some arbitrary deadline when they can just say oops too late can't change.

They are pulling the same PR vs reality scam as they do with Israel. All saying they are doing stuff but not actually doing stuff. Oh he is in contact with everyone to reassure them (turns out not talking to key people or anyone who has expressed a public lack of assurance since the debate), Oh he knows he did a booboo (really? So?), He knows he needs to work extra hard to prove himself (does next to nothing except get painted orange once then reads "pause" and other non-verbal prompts aloud off a teleprompter, goes back into hiding).

The best one I heard was. "He knows it was a costly mistake, and he knows if he does what he did in the debate TWO MORE TIMES then its over!"

TWO MORE TIMES, and the orange paint and teleprompter appearance does not count toward that. That comment is basically a flat out admission that his critics within the party structure are being played for fools right to their faces.

Which as liberals, they are fools, so it will probably work.

The question is which of several minor points over the next short while is he aiming for.

I still think it was THIS weekend and they think it will only wind down in importance in the media now and that's all that matters.

Certainly a few die hards have walked back from their position immediately after the debate already, but maybe not the important ones, I don't think there is coming back from this. Thing is, how many of the right people, who have DeadDM galaxy brains remember, can be convinced there IS coming back from this?

And its totally going to happen, tomorrow, the day after, maybe next week, certainly before the election, this time for sure.

[virgil]

[Neo Phonelobster Prime]

So I'm not going to check, but I assume the only thing after "what has Biden done?" is in giant blood dripping letters "A GENOCIDE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR FUCKING FACE!", anything else after all would be wildly unethical genocide apologia to post at this point.

Because when Biden does that. Sorry, the rest of his record even if stellar is meaningless. Not that the rest of his record is stellar. There is a reason that's a gish gallop of tiny text. His record is one of underwhelming failure, constant back peddling, instant backdowns and massive crushing failures to defend citizens and their rights. A REAL list of ACTUAL achievements of his COULD be punchier and of more value as an advert people could actually repeat to friends, since it would be VERY SHORT.

But hey, maybe you posted it Ironically, or for the only audience it would work on. DeadDM.

[Kaelik]

It's great because the first line is "The American Rescue Plan" then it lists like 500 individual provisions, then it has three lines about judges (because 42 federal judges, then 13 circuit judges (already included in the 42) then 29 Distrcit Court Judges, yeah dumbass, that;s what Federal Judges are! They are either Circuit or District. Those are the two kinds!), then it lists the infasctructure bill, then starts listing provisions of that, briefly includes a few agency determinations, then goes BACK to doing american rescue plan provisions again, this is somewhere at the end of column 2 beginning of column 3.

It's possible there exists some amount of things on that list that couldn't be covered by "passed a shitty infastructure bill" and "pass the COVID response bill" but it sure would take a while to sort those out.

Presumably the fourth column would be IRA act stuff.

Some of it is just straight up false, not just various provisions struck down by the courts, or that time where all the aid was decided to go to the Police because why spend it on covid mitigation, but also like, "Ended Border Wall Emergency and cancelled all new border wall construction"???? What? Joe Biden declared his own special border wall emergency to through away all the envirometal and community review so that he could start building a chunk of border wall! So apparently he thinks that he did not end whatever the "Border Wall Emergency" is and he didn't cancel all new border wall construction, he is actively working to get more constructed!

But for my money, my favorite has to be "Banned chokeholds and no knock raids for Federal Law Enforcement" It's not the FBI doing fucking no knock raids that kill people! That doesn't do anything! It's the state and city cops who you gave billions of federal dollars to that are doing the no knock raids, and half of them already banned it, and they just keep doing it anyway, because the main thing about the cops is that they all know they are above the law, because when they do murders the President of the United States promises to give them more money.

EDIT: Sorry he LIMITED no knock raids from the FBI, didn't even ban them.

Nevermind I take it bad, the funniest one is the very last one "Instituted a moritorium on the federal death penalty" So in other words, didn't use the powers he unquestionably has to simply commute all death sentences to life in prison, just handed out a little slip of paper that said "kill them during the next presidency, not mine!"

EDIT: "Incentives for states to expand medicaid" 1) LMAO what incentives? 2) I'm sure that will totally get the GOP states to save the lives of their poor, if you promise them more money. They already turned away billions in funding because they prefer killing their poor, but I'm sure you got them this time with your incentives!

[Thaluikhain]

I personally like "Net Zero federal procurement no later than 2050" and the like. No way he'd still be alive in 2050 to see if that happens, and if it does, it'll be due to the hard work of other people.

[MGuy]

I am not going to read all of that even to try to figure out how much of it isn't bullshit because even if it were meant to convince someone like me or anyone else who isn't decided it would be a failure of an attempt on first principles. The concerns that I have about who is president aren't going to be soothed by a list of things that a trained democratic monkey that can sign their name on a piece of paper could do. Most of the things Biden has done 90% of Americans won't recognize because it doesn't tangibly benefit them anymore than some of the things that were signed off for during Trump's time in office. The concern is that he is incompetent and ineffective. Not that he can't write his name on things. The challenge Biden has is to either somehow convince people he's not too old to stay up past 8 PM without his brain going to mush or that he's interested in stopping the genocide.

Every day that goes by without him stepping aside for someone who can sign papers and who doesn't have the baggage of being a corpse and war criminal is him personally putting himself before the threat of tyranny. People who really truly believe that democracy is on the line should be really mad that he is not playing it safe for the sake of the country.

[Neo Phonelobster Prime]

Not that he can't write his name on things.

Except for covid cheques, there was some real and reasonable concern that for some reason he couldn't bring himself to write his name on those.

Always remember, when you set a low bar for achievement, the Neo-Liberal limbos right under it just to fight communism and indecency.

[PseudoStupidity]

Thank goodness someone finally made it a crime to harm US law enforcement overseas, something that was definitely already a crime under the laws of the countries US law enforcement would be harmed in. He also loosened criteria to qualify for asylum according to that vision chart, which goes very well with him preventing people from seeking asylum.

AND we got new regulations on pistol stabilizing braces? Fuck it, I'm Ridin with Biden now. We had him all wrong and just didn't know his accomplishments!

[Kaelik]

The Federal Monitor of the UAW has been lobbying against it's support for Palestine using his office which has total power.

This isn't the Biden Admin really, but there's not really another US politics thread that isn't about the election.

https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/shock-do ... ws-federal

[Neo Phonelobster Prime]

Lobbying is a very mild way of saying extortion, blackmail and threats.

For an issue totally unrelated to their role as a monitor of things other than blind loyalty to a foreign nation's genocide.

i . . is this a deep fake? x.x

[PseudoStupidity]

Biden did indeed call big Z Putin, he also called Kamala Harris "vice president Trump" and said "vice president Trump is fit to be president, that's why I made them vice president". His brain doesn't work properly, this is well established.
