If Joe Biden were as ruthless about his immunity as Donald Trump is, the union might actually stand a chance.

This could be America in 6 months if Trump wins, he literally has the power to disappear people if he wins.

It honestly feels like they’re not giving us any other choice.

Yeah, but Biden is 2½ years older! /S

Not who you were replying to, but they’re out in fucking numbers today aren’t they?
Jesus Christ it’s like the have a whole troll farm dedicated to Lemmy.
And they can’t come up with a better argument than “BiDeN oLd Hur Hur”

You mean like how the one guy who disagrees and thinks Biden should step down went up 8 points in the last 2 minutes and we all went down?
Yeah I noticed that too.

Good.
This is just the “I won’t vote for Biden because Israel refuses to sign a ceasefire” bullshit all over again.
Notice how literally none of these people have any problem whatsoever with any of Trump’s gaffes?
They have no problem whatsoever with Trump’s policies. They have no problem whatsoever with project 2025. They have no problem at all that Donald Trump is 79 years old.
But they have a huge fucking problem with the fact that Joe Biden is two and a half years older than Donald Trump.
You would think if they actually gave a damn about the welfare of the country they would be concerned about Donald Trump in the least, yet crickets.

That’s precisely what we should be doing

$244 million fine is what they’re looking at.
346 people have died on the 737 Max, that means they’re getting fined less than $1m for every life lost.
This is a joke, Boeing made $2.2bn last year, that’s $6 million a day.
Thats a little over 1 month of lost wages for killing 346 people.

Don’t be a dipshit because you didn’t pick up on the subtext.
I added an edit since it clearly went right over your head.

Why is there a picture of Trump?
He’s not the president.

Edit:
Apparently some people just don’t have the ability to pick up on the subtext that Trump isn’t president at the moment and Biden could also use HIS shiny new presidential powers on Trump too.

What do you think the odds are of us getting people who refuse to take the Covid vaccine to take the bird flu vaccine?
Unvaccinated people become mutation factories and the disease mutates so that the vaccine is no longer effective, that’s why it’s important to have everyone vaccinated to prevent the outbreak from worsening.
If only 1/2 of people get the vaccine, we’re fucked.
I firmly believe when it comes to serious medical issues like this, personal freedom of choice can just go fuck itself.
You don’t want to be vaccinated? Too bad, we’ll tie you down and give it to you anyway.

I understand I’m voting for Kamala Harris with my vote for Biden, but I don’t think she could beat Trump.
There’s a lot of independents still on the fence between Trump and Biden (for some reason) and I think that anyone who’s even entertaining the idea of voting for Donald Trump would never vote for a woman of color.
So, unfortunately because we’re so late in the election year, I think we’ll have to vote for the old white guy to keep the old white felon out of the Whitehouse.
The only silver lining to all of this is that they’ll probably both be dead before the next election and we can firmly remember to take age into account in the next primary if Biden wins.
If Trump wins there won’t ever be another primary or general election and I think a lot of people lose focus on that because Biden is 2½ years older than Trump.

78% of Americans make what you call “destitute wages” and live paycheck to paycheck on W2 income.

I would admit I used to get McDonald’s quite a bit for lunch because it was pretty cheap. But, where I live a Big Mac meal is on average about $16 right now and I can get a burrito bowl from Chipotle with a drink for $13.
I’m not saying Chipotle is high quality food but I don’t think anyone’s going to argue it’s not better quality than McDonald’s, so why on earth would I pay more for McDonald’s?
They overreached on their price gouging and now they’re just trying to backpedal because they’re losing money.

Well it’s Russian infrastructure on Ukrainian land, who cares what it’s for?

Accused? The proof of the affair was part of the evidence for his criminal trial.

The point is, enough of them said No that they didn’t have a choice but to let them do it.
Imagine what they could have done with an actual union to organize and coordinate their efforts.

About 3 years too late.

Jim Jordan (Gym is a nickname from years ago when he allowed students to get molested by a school doctor) is a representative from the state of Ohio who was involved with the January 6th plot to overthrow the government.
When they investigated it, they subpoenaed him and he refused to show up. So far it’s been 3 years and no action has been taken whatsoever.
He helped plot a coup, he’s STILL in power, and he ignored a subpoena from Congress with no consequences whatsoever.
He ranks considerably lower than the Supreme Court does in the grand scheme of things and if they’re not going to force him to comply, they won’t force any of the federal justices to comply.
