They’re giddy with power.
This is a parody, right?
Yes
Tow the line? Tow it where Eric?
Biden was like a bizarro Willy Wonka, fell on his face and then spent the whole tour boring and disappointing us for ages, somehow even the psychosis bug tunnel was boring. Then he gives the chocolate factory to an Oompa Loompa with syphilis.
Yeah I know
He didn’t hand the chocolate factory to anyone the American voters elected the idiot on their own.
You consider it even remotely appropriate to let an insurrectionist stand for election? A literal traitor to the republic? Allowing him on the ballot was, I think, a crucial failure of democratic norms. One of many.
Just as legality is not the same as morality, winning an election in a critically dysfunctional democracy is not a mandate to rule as a king.
They’re beginning to learn, too late, that the only thing keeping democracy in America is its norms. Voters were offered an insane question that should never have been asked.
Biden isn’t responsible for any of that though. The courts should have stopped Trump nothis oppenent in the election
edit: To all thinking Biden could or should have directly intervened to prevent Trump from running how do you think he can legally do so without being seen as a dictator?
by not giving a shit about optics in the same way he bailed his son out. who cares if people see him as a dictator?
Pardoning his son from witch-hunts by the GOP isn’t dictatorial.Legally preventing the opposition from running candidates is absolutely dictatorial.
The CIA has toppled democracies around the world. So its bullshit to say the president has his hands tied…
If a leader utilizes the intelligence agencies to put down opposition politicians then they are an authoritarian dictator. Biden isn’t that stupid.
Youre right. Should just let a traitor waltz in and be the authoritarian dictator. We’ll just put Biden in the history book beside Hindenburg.
So your solution to prevent an authoritarian dictatorship is for Biden to become an authoritarian dictator?
Te courts are the check against this.
Biden decided a longer than 4 year investigation without charges was the move. If smith filed charges on some, but not all the crimes Trump committed, courts would have had something to go off of to bar him from running.
Biden had no role in that investigation as it would be extremely inappropriate for him to do so.
Except it wouldn’t be, since he was not a political opponent after jan 6th. He also absolutely had a role, the idea the head of the executive branch doesn’t control the doj is and always has been an open lie. The existence of pot shops in legal states is the most obvious proof of that.
The elected leader in a democratic republic like the USA cannot stop candidates from running without becoming a dictator. This is intro level poli sci stuff.
There is a difference between permitting states to decriminalize cannabis and electoral interference.
The specific policies were not the issue. The fact that he did not stop a violent insurrectionist from running for office is my grievance here. The metaphor being that an Oompa Loompa should not have gotten a golden ticket. Much less, one with syphilis and a malignant personality disorder.
this is my main gripe with the previous administration too. they broke standard procedures for all of their buddies (pardons for political and family members at the last moment, wtf??) while a felon gets handed keys to the castle.
its so embarrasing that our elected officials didn’t force Biden to be a one term president, its so embarrasing we threw kamala harris into the race last minute, and its also embarrasing to realize this party will not change because i truly believe ALL current leaders use their positions to make money where they should not be making money.
and yet, I stick with their ideology because they aren’t as obvious with their moral bankruptcy. whose the real crazy one in this relationship? ok, I’m done ranting my friend, lol
No you’re right, it’s an abusive relationship. It isn’t much different from a good cop/bad cop dynamic. The ratcheting effect taken to its furthest extremity.
