White men in their 80s, famous for changing who they are and their values at this stage of life.
The most absurd part about this is the fact that trump is 77 and seen as considerably younger
Lmao I guess your average American can’t comprehend that they were in high school at the same time
Biden falls down more and has had his eye fill with blood on live TV a couple times
Where’s that biden trump emoji
Smh this could’ve all been prevented by a spray tan
Biden could safely:
-Send the military to blow up the child-drowning device across the Rio Grande
-Block discretionary federal funding to states passing anti-trans laws
-Allow civilians to get abortions in military healthcare facilities
-Appoint an AG who will throw all sorts of charges at republicans/manchin
-Burn student loan debt
-Appoint a DEA tsar who won't pursue the drug war, etc.
He could do all of this knowing the SCOTUS and congress will block or roll it all back.
He doesn't even pretend he wants what his constituents want.
I misspoke.
I mean the people he is asking to vote for him.
He has more constituents than just defense contractors... he has the banks too. He was their senator for over 35 years.
How about a much more leftist Biden for the rest of his first term, and then we'll see if people will vote for him?
Biden is working hard on bringing student loan relief which has been repeatedly obstructed by right wing institutions.
There is no reason for SCOTUS to rule on this issue. It has nothing to do with them. They have no army, they are not legislative or executive. There is no actual rule that says we have to listen to them at all. In other words, we don't need right wing judges to tell us we can do it. We also don't need a law to say we can do it. We can just do it.
Yeah it's just too bad that dastardly parliamentarian won't let him! It's too bad he has to do what that creature says!
Good news though: Since the president is completely powerless, it doesn't matter who the president is!
Also I prefer presidents that can enact their platform and keep their promises.
The student loan relief where you can keep making minimum payments every month for the next 40 years and maybe the government will write it off if they haven't scrapped the program by then? That's also attached to your income so if you ever make more than about $30k/year you're immediately disqualified and have to pay even more than the already obscene rates?
The student loan relief that's entirely unnecessary as Biden could literally delete 95% of student loan debt with a stroke of his pen? And only became a conversation because he got rid of the moratorium on payments during covid?
Yeah, I'm positively vibrating to go cast my vote for him.
It's ridiculous these students think the US government is ever gonna spend billions to relieve their debts. Who do they think they are, israel?
The article is written by a republican and the article is about why Biden is bad. The author uses the term "left-wing" as a pejorative. It's kinda funny that nobody in this whole thread read the article and everyone is shadowboxing with a misinterpretation of the headline.
I honestly don't really bother clicking on any American political commentary articles because I know they'll be garbage. The only thing that surprised me this time is I've always thought of The Hill as some milquetoast lib site.
Why would anybody waste time reading an article with the premise Biden was about to pivot to the left.
It doesn't matter what side the author is on, they obviously have no idea what the fuck they're talking about.
Similarly the article "why shitting your pants is good and cool" probably wouldn't get a lot of in depth engagement
We've had posts every day this week about how you can't accurately judge an article by the article's headline, example: passive language vs active language.
The article is not written on the premise that Biden is moving left. The article is about how the author is scared that Biden is going to take your guns and take your free speech, and be a "climate czar" (actual quote).
I read the article because I also expected it to be written by a liberal about Biden moving left and I wanted to familiarize myself with what narratives that liberals are going to use in the upcoming election. To my surprise, the article was not about that and everyone in this thread at the time was responding to the article as if the article was in support for Biden, including the OP.
If we are truly to believe that the media manufacturers consent, which it does, then it is important to understand in what ways the media is manufacturing consent. It is important to understand this so that you can combat the manufactured narrative and effectively communicate that to the people who have accepted the manufactured narrative.
well known far left entity: THE FUCKING US GOVERNMENT
It’d be interesting to know what he thinks "left wing" means. I wonder if democrats know that they are center-right and they lie or if they’re truly oblivious.

Americans are so politically illiterate that Democrats (both the voters and politicians) think they're left wing.
I think we could call them far right at this point for enabling a genocidal war but I also hate the "only extremist make genocides" horse shoe theory bullshit
Most genocides in history were caused by political factions which by no means viewed themselves or even were viewed as "extremist". Like the governments of British Empire murdered some hundreds of millions of people while preaching being moderate all the time.
He doesn't think about it. His staffers and PR people just threw this tidbit out to white house journalists and they just said "yeah ok sounds good."
He means war, that's the aggressive part. The team piloting the drones will be extremely diverse and the bombs will be painted in pride flag colors, that's the left-wing part.
On a map Palestine is to the left of Ukraine too. Plus jets have wings. So he's going to aggressively send jets to do a genocide in Palestine, and politifact will say it's "mostly true" that he had a more aggressively left wing term by moving winged war machines left on a map
Plus jets have wings
America is more like a helicopter. Always spinning to the right and prone to crashing every few years.
Can't remember who said it, but someone observed that the libs were doing a proto-Qanon in Obama's second term. Like they were baking every shitty compromise he did as some kind of 4d chess move, and that one day very soon he would reveal his master plan and destroy the GOP. And just like Qanon, when Obama didn't acutally do the Storm and arrest all the GOP obstructionists and do the New Deal again, they just shifted their conspiracy onto Hillary and eventually Russia-gate.
Hey, that's exactly what he said before his first term too.
Can't believe the dems are actually going to lose a second election to fucking Trump in a decade
I'd have packed it in after the first time. If you can't stop your opposition when they run one of the most consistently mocked guy for like the last 40 years to be leader of the most powerful nation on earth, you gotta close down the shop or at the very least start over from the ground up on how you're handling things. Dems whole obsession with the dude seems too have had the possibly intended effect of glossing over that they fumbled what should have been the easiest win in electoral history. An absolute chump best their brains in and they made him seem like the next Hitler to save face. If I got publicly and decisively owned by Donald Trump of all people I'd never show my face in public again. They're too hubristic to be embarrassed by eating shit and having it fed to them by a national punchline, it's a pathology.
Fortunately they all have terminal west wing brain so getting your ass kicked by republicans while claiming the moral high ground is their ambrosia.
If Biden squeaks out a win in '24, I doubt Harris will let him live long enough to see '25.
I misread this initially thinking you were saying Kamala was going to die following a Biden re-election in furtherance of funniest timeline theory
Damn. Imagine Kamala accidentally falling down a flight of stairs and dying on Day 1 of the Biden Second Term. And then Biden stroking out on Day 2. And Democrats just kinda shrugging, while handing Mike Johnson the Presidency, because that's in the rules.
Just one more term bro, just one more and I'll be aggressively left wing bro. I just need another term, can you spot me a term bro?
Based on that headline I cannot even bring myself to waste the time of reading the actual body text. Such a pathetic attempt at grabbing progressives.
This article is not intended to grab progressives. The article is written by a republican lawyer, Jonathan Turley, fox news contributor. The article is written from the perspective of a republican who doesn't want Biden to have a second term. At one point in the article, he claims that Biden is planning to end
in his second term. The article ends with "Biden seeks to seal a legacy as the greenest, most anti-gun and most pro-abortion-rights president in history".I would know this if it were worth reading. Which it still isn't.
But I appreciate the correction.
You know what that means, he's going to be a lot worse than his first term.
Don't you get it guys. It's national SOCIALISM. IT'S IN THE NAME!
