it still wasn’t three years.

Oh no it was closer to 2.5 years than 3.5 years!

Come on, you know this doesn’t refute my point.

Telling them to “fuck off” is meaningless nonsense.

The SCOTUS has no means to enforce its decisions. It knows this and has historically kowtowed to the executive when faced with its own marginalization.

The president literally can just ignore them, as Trump did when they made a ruling he didn’t like such as DACA. There’s some other precedents: https://revealnews.org/blog/a-brief-history-of-presidents-telling-so-called-judges-to-get-lost/

He took an action that took 3 years to complete instead of ending it on day one and telling the courts to fuck off.

That’s keeping it in place for 3 years.

This isn’t misinformation, this is you being intentionally dense.

It doesn’t matter if his excuse was some court he can just ignore and face no consequences asked him to keep it in place or if did it on a whim, he had the power to change it, he didn’t use it. It was in place for like 3 and a half years.

You’re not calling out misinformation, you’re quibbling.

Nobody is talking about the Muslim ban, we’re talking about the more recent attempt to close the mexican border.

But it’s irrelevant, you’re still missing the point.

My point is that Biden’s unpopular actions decrease how many people will vote for him. This is how Biden ensures Trump will come to power.

Trump’s Title 42 and Muslim ban were far worse.

Biden waited 3.5 years to end title 42 and tried to close the border. He has deported more people than Trump.

POTUS has no reasonable control over grocery store prices

He literally does though. But there’s a million other things he could have done when he had control. Instead we just get excuses about how powerless the party controlling both houses and the presidency was because of Manchin or the parliamentarian or the SCOTUS or some rules the dems set for themselves or norms or whatever.

There’s no point in quibbling about whether Biden was less bad than trump, these actions decrease how many people will vote for him. Implementing policy that makes you lose the election is refusing to stand in republican’s way.

We’ve been saying from day one, that if Biden doesn’t move to the left and use every tool at his disposal to improve people’s material conditions, Trump’s going to win in 2024.

Biden didn’t just not go left, he tried to outflank the republicans from the right by facilitating genocide, ending covid protections, and passing the most draconian border bill since like the 40s.

This is the closest thing he could have done to handing Trump the presidency, short of appointing him VP and stepping down.

Yall need to learn some history.

The liberal SDP split with the communists, supporting “centrist” Hindenburg in the name of unity.

The communists campaigned on “A vote for Hindenburg is a vote for Hitler is a vote for war”

Hindenburg won the election, getting more votes than either the communist or fascist candidates.

Hindenburg, the liberal candidate, then proceeded to make Hitler the chancellor and staff positions of power with nazis while purging the government of communists.

The nazis then barely had to do anything to assert complete control.

The nazis didn’t get in power because communists stayed home, they got into power because the liberals would rather work with fascists than communists.

Every canned cocktail I’ve ever had was awful, but some people like them.

This is just a pre-made screwdriver.

We’ll be able to push the wolf to the left after the election!

Edit: This still cuts off the end of the video, but it does show more

There’s also a bigger picture with Tank Man, that shows the mostly empty square the tanks were leaving, with a handful of soldiers and bikes.

And a bunch of other photos showing the battle that took place in the surrounding streets, with cops that had been lynched and burned and protesters gunned down.

The evidence disproves the western narrative of tanks machine-gunning protesters inside the square, then liquefying bodies, that were then burnt and washed down the drain (and getting stopped by Tank Man on the way out).

That’s not to say the Chinese claims should be taken at face value, but nothing I’ve seen contradicts their claim of 300 dead and several thousand wounded.

Don’t give up skeleton!

Yeah the context is that many indigenous people depended on the buffalo for food.

It was basically the same as when Israel pours concrete down wells and burns olive groves that took centuries to get that productive. They knew for every buffalo they killed, an indian would starve.

That image is similar to the rooms full of luggage in Auschwitz in what it represents.

In scale? Yes. In brutality? Go look up chimp attacks.

There’s a difference between a few humans throwing some rocks at something’s head and poking it with a sharp stick and what chimps do.

What am I looking at?

The original has the guy they resurrected enact a genocide on the 99% of humanity who’d been tainted by dumb genes.

And I mean I’m glad Idiocracy didn’t end that way, but it’s weird that the original accepts the premise of nazi eugenics, but their only issue seems to be the way it was enacted.

I genuinely hope this isn’t a hot take for anyone here: Social Darwinism is a dumb and destructive ideology and Idiocracy betrays some pretty awful beliefs.

Which is weird because KOTH and Silicon Valley aren’t like that.

Of course this didn’t pan out. 2-3 huge tech companies rushed onto the market with somewhat crappy products just to own the patents so smaller companies couldn’t innovate. When they weren’t immediately profitable they started cutting back and shutting down.

The way advanced capitalism can’t even grow a product before trying to strangle it for every last penny is all that saves us from special Black Mirror levels of hell.
