I think it's a fucking asshole for not throwing citizen Trump in a deep dark prison cell the second he stepped out of the White House.

[–] KneeTitts@lemmy.world 23 points 5 days ago (4 children)

If Biden had any balls At.All. Trump would have been in prison Jan 7th

[–] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

If Biden had balls he'd have drone striked Trump and his Supreme Court appointments the day after the court gave the president immunity for executive actions.

[–] OmegaMan@lemmings.world 9 points 5 days ago

How was Biden to do that when he wasn't president until the 20th.

Right? It’s all Biden’s fault! (Jk)

[–] BoulevardBlvd@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 5 days ago (2 children)

He's certainly not fucking innocent

[–] silverlose@lemm.ee 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

One could argue no us president is innocent, no?

I don’t really know. I’m not American. I just find the scapegoating funny. And dumb af. Equal parts of both, really.

Yes. Actually go further, anyone who doesn't argue there is no innocent US president is disingenuous or a total idiot.

Abraham Lincoln's long term solution to race relations was genocide by relocation. He wanted another trail of tears to whiten the US, there was just a pesky war in the way. Freeing the slaves was a punishment for white people, not a benefit for black people. There is no "good" US president

I kept telling people, Biden is OK, he seems to be getting stuff done...BUT he's not doing anything about the trump/insurrection/undermining-the-fundamentals-of-this-country. I got tsked, poo-pooed, and was called way too radical many times for three years. I would rather have been wrong.

As a foreigner I think all American presidents on my lifetime have been pieces of shit and America is a hopeless hell hole. Fucking 10 corporations in a trench coat pretending to be a government.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

Exactly this. The problems with America predate Trump and his administration. The difference is that Trump and Co. are what used to be satirical caricatures of the idea of American exceptionalism, as if taking Team America The World Police seriously.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (3 children)

This is the sanest comment.

Biden's economy was shit too, which is what made it possible for Trump to broaden his coalition so significantly.

Yeah I really wish there was some kind of patent reform so a company can only hold a patent long enough for the work to create the innovation to be worth the pursuit of it.

Instead they will use patents to stifle innovation and stop people from being able to compete with new ideas based on an original innovation. The patent system was supposed to foster innovation, not stifle it.

Ive never seen any politician on any side do anything about the aggressive use of patents. Companies will buy out companies just for the patents. Its obviously a big issue that reworked would make it harder for a corporation to thrive without continuing to innovate and provide what the people really want or need.

Yeah it was decided initially so that the creator could still benefit from it and recoup r&d costs before a third party could copy their design without the r&d and be able to sell the product cheaper.

But now companies just patent any idea without using them just so other companies can't.

If a company doesn't use their patent within a certain time frame it should be completely revoked.

It's still Bidens economy for the next four years unless it's doing good then it becomes Trump's

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, and it was Trump's economy for the past four years because everyone knew he was going to win and everyone would be constantly winning too. Now it's Biden's economy, but wait until Trump's economy kicks into gear. You'll get so many jobs you won't know what to do with them. Unless the economy crashes again after that, then it's Biden's economy again until it recovers then it's Trump's. What's so hard to understand?

Anyone who bothers paying attention knew Republicans were going to fuck our economy up. They always do. But even I am shocked at how fast it's happening.

Doesn't matter. This country is too stupid to learn from mistakes. And down the ship goes.

[–] LarmyOfLone@lemm.ee 6 points 5 days ago

The democrats must be so giddy. They don't need to move to the left one iota as long as Trump and MAGA is fucking up this bad.

No hope. No change. Corporatist#67 for 2028!

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

LOL. As if MAGA weren't allergic to rationality.

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Greatest president during Joe's presidency. We'll sorely miss anyone who is not Trump.

[–] wellheh@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 5 days ago

The best part about Biden's presidency was not having to read the news because the president was gonna make a huge mess the next day.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Can we have Clinton's economy again?

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 days ago

A tech bubble that will pop in 2 years and a real estate bubble that will pop in 8? I think we already do.
