Biden was actually pretty decent, if the situation had been normal he'd have been fine, average, mediocre, actually accomplished a few things.

The situation was NOT normal. And he didn't see it, he just tried to return us to normal, which was never going to work.

There needed to be an aggressive cleanup of the damage. And there was not.

Whoever is next is going to have to go after the damage as the top priority. Major prosecutions, court packing, MASSIVE tax increases on the rich including wealth taxes, not just income tax increases, even the 91% top marginal tax bracket of the '50s won't be good enough.

I also suck at photoshop. But I can tell Apple Image Playground to do it...

We should never have given the enemy a vote.

(The enemy is the zionist entity.)

Yeah, we're putting the new cover sheets on the TPS reports before they go out. Did you see the memo about this?

If you could just go ahead and do that from now on that would be great.

Yeah, and I'll go ahead and make sure you get another copy of that memo.

I am completely in favor of public ownership of the means of production. But when the government takes over a corporation, they should take ALL of it.

Intel is a good choice, all of the airlines should be public, all railroads should be public, all steel companies should be public, all energy companies should be public (not just limited territories like SRP and TVA), all banks should be public.

Obama screwed up by not maintaining control of GM, the government should take it back, along with Ford and Chrysler.

And for f---'s sake there should be NO defense contractors, those should ALL be publicly owned.

As far as stadiums go, it should be "Build what you want as long as it's up to code and you pay for all the permits, you get $0 subsidies, and you pay ALL the taxes any other business would pay."

The only other arrangement option should be that the team and the stadium are publicly owned. No more team owners threatening to leave.

Stadium subsidies are universally a HORRIBLE deal for cities.

As for SNAP, I'd terminate it, and replace it with a universal basic income. NO means test, NO questions asked, NO restrictions on how you spend it.

#12

They can't legally do that. You can get a new modem if you want.

Honestly, if somebody is stupid enough to join the military under this regime, they deserve all the misery they get.

#3

Yep. Having US military capability significantly reduced is a GOOD thing.

#10

She got the $5 million from one judgment.

She has NOT gotten the $84 million from the other.

They're going after the enemies list.

The SPLC is obviously the good guys. We are now at the point where there will have to be a truth and reconciliation process at the end of this regime. Biden-style "back to normal" isn't going to cut it.

It'll end when the next administration agrees to appropriate reparations.

This surveillance crap needs to go. If government won't remove it, the people must.

#2

Hamas should not disarm until the genocidal zionist scum are disarmed.

#4

You misspelled "zionists", you genocidal scumbag.

Only new regime leader we need is a replacement for the tiny-fingered, ferret-wearing, cheeto-faced shitgibbon.

One that'll end the idiotic Cuba embargo.

#10

No he won't.

He doesn't bother going to the toilet, he just craps his diaper.

Russia is likely not competent enough to pull off assassinations any more.

And they don't care about protecting Krasnov enough to bother.

It's the zionist entity.

That is at best inaccurate.

For the most part, fascist regimes did not engage in public ownership, they were content to let oligarchs operate corporations so long as they played nice with the regime. There were a few exceptions, such as where the Nazi regime took over steel companies, but those were the exceptions, not the rule.

When the government is a functioning democracy, public ownership of large corporations IS the workers owning and controlling the means of production. I know we're not quite at functioning democracy in this country any more, but we're still potentially going to be functional enough in the future that public ownership is preferable to oligarch ownership. It's not the ideal, which would be canceling all stonks and handing full ownership to the workers, but it's a step in the right direction.

As far as the government deciding which businesses succeed or fail? Yeah, that's going to be a thing no matter what, and it should be. If a business can't pay all the workers a living wage, it should fail, and the government has a responsibility to ensure it does. If a business provides an essential service but is a natural monopoly (think electricity or last-mile internet) but is being run for-profit the government has a responsibility to seize and operate it. And healthcare should NEVER be for-profit, it's an obvious responsibility of government to prohibit that and operate it.

The bubble is starting to pop.

About time!

Hey, look who's actually right for once!

Yes, things like farming cotton in the Arizona desert should never have been allowed to happen. It's almost like somebody came up with the stupidest possible water use policy.

#4

Hey, look who's actually right for once!

YES. ALL OF THEM.

There is NO living president who isn't guilty of war crimes, with Shrubby and Mango Mussolini going as far as crimes against humanity. Not sure Biden doesn't qualify for that too, supplying weapons to the zionist entity for the purpose of committing a genocide would seem to be pretty far into crime against humanity territory.

Broken clock, twice a day.

I'm fully in favor of this, though the government should own at least a controlling stake in companies that they buy.

At that point they'll be able to force through a living wage for all employees and should be required to cut executive pay to no more than the federal salary cap of $253,100.

Socialism works!

Why do all the articles about this say this is ending, when it's based on law which the tiny-fingered, ferret-wearing, cheeto-faced shitgibbon can't unilaterally change?

Courts have repeatedly held that flashing your headlights to warn other drivers about pigs ahead is protected speech.
