          You mean Biden who tried to overthrow our government on Jan 6th?

        As the leader of a country the president is ultimately responsable and represents the actions of the country.

        Trump has been out of office for 4 years…

          How exactly is Biden responsible for Republicans blocking any Ukraine aid that he’s trying to get through congress?

            That person isn’t interested in actual conversation, only in spreading divisive nonsense. I doubt they even understand how the government works.

          Congress, how does it work again…

          Perhaps read up on how the US constitution actually works.

            They’d have no idea what they’re reading. They just go with what fox “news” tells them. They’re told what to fear, what to be angry about and how to feel. They’re pawns and they’ll lick the dogshit off their boots.

          And yet is still somehow managing to do damage to the reputation of the US. Nobody is disputing the fact that Biden is the head of state or that Trump has been out for four years. It’s simply not relevant, mate. The problems with getting aid to Ukraine right now are not coming from Biden and it’s crazy to suggest he’s responsible for the actions of his opposition.

          American’s don’t have a parliamentary system. The president can exist without the support of the houses. When that happens, like now, what the president can do is severely limited.

            No, I have no real investment in the American political system. I was pointing out the satire in the original photo was misplaced. As people have demonstrated in this conversation most of the interactions have made massive assumptions about why i made my comments rather then addressing my comment.

              Perhaps you’re not aware of the concept of synecdoche,, where one part of something is used as a representative of the thing as a whole. You saw the float and said that it had nothing to do with trump (vaguely true despite the fact that many of his party still answer his beck and call), whereas the float has “republikaner” written on it, which despite not speaking German I can only assume means “republican”. So basically the float is depicting the republican party at large killing Ukraine, despite the fact that there are only two people shown.

                This float is far from anything even remotely close to “subtle”, and yet that guy still couldn’t understand the float. I’d say media literacy is abismal but at this point it’s just reading.

                  I think it means Republicans, plural, as in not only Trump. Which is an important distinction imo. Trump is just used as an example.

              Well you made some irrelevant statements about who’s president and then suggested changing the satirical image so that it would no longer make sense. It seems pretty well placed to me and doesn’t need to be changed given that it’s attacking the group of people currently withholding US aid to Ukraine. Not sure what conclusions you were expecting people to make based on your comments.

      But Trump’s not president

      And this float isn’t about the president. It’s about republicans (represented by Trump) attacking Ukraine aid in the House. Biden is not a republican.

      No, trump has gotten his house lackeys to stop any bill that gets aid to Ukranians. Purposefully misrepresenting what is going on is very MAGA SVR of you.

      And the fact republicans take their marching orders from citizen trump just shows how far gone they are.

          Google says it’s a Russian intelligence agency.

      Biden has stepped up to the plate and then some more. Credit to him.
