    Yes, again, I understand that you want Biden to say something the second you learned about that something, but it’s the weekend. That’s just not how things work. If Biden doesn’t say something next week, sure, criticize him. But expecting him to put out a press release or hold a press conference about a non-urgent issue over the weekend is silly.

      Lol he’s been in politics for 50 years. He built this house. He helped steer the ship. He flipped the blinker and shouted shift into 5th gear.

        I have no idea what on Earth you’re talking about or why that means Biden needs to make a comment on this new policy before Monday.

          I’m responding to your instant gratification comment. We’ve given these fossils to much time to change and for the most part they haven’t and never will. But feel free to wait while the planet becomes one paved gas station, and your kids starve, will never own a house but you are thankful at least you are a lucky one and have a job at Walmart and continue to work into your 90s.

            Huh? This has nothing to do with climate change or the economy.

              You done flew that squid into a cloud of reactionaries who get real uppity if their vision of things doesn’t happen by 3 months ago. A story about what a political twat said MIGHT happen is suddenly priority #1 amongst all the other things the POTUS has to deal with on the daily.

                Bro maybe just maybe. Those people who you are calling “reactionaries” have been told “change is coming, it will get better just keep waiting, these things don’t happen overnight.” For the last 4 or 5 decades?

                  And maybe they’re ignoring things like the civil rights movement, the original implementation of Roe, the progress of the LGBT community and all the other society changes that have happened in that same time.

                    The civil rights act was 60 years ago. Roe was 51 years ago. They’re saying we’ve had barely any progress in the last 40 or 50 years. Cops are still killing people. Racism, homophobia, and other kinds of hate are still alive and well.

              So a teacher who is blacklisted and can’t eat or pay bills does nothing to the economy? This is exactly obey or starve. But you know I can tell you aren’t a big picture squid.

                You’re really reaching for a reason for why Biden not waiting until a weekday to talk about this is such a horrible thing.

                    Okay, well then since this was about how Biden didn’t respond to this issue right now, I don’t know what your point was.
