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

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.

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.

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
