I'm leery as fuck about Biden but Jesus at this point it's fucking stunning to have someone without an overt psychological pathology as the President.
Remember that shit he was doing with the Census? He fucked it up because he just declared something and left it to others to figure out how. It's not happening.
It's been this constant farce of horrors.
Place tariffs and demand negotiation.
Wait, no, they implement their own tariffs. MORE TARIFFS THEN.
Shit they still aren't negotiating and now to keep the farmers from revolting we did a socialism shit fuck shit
At least by pissing off NATO there's a whole lot of countries that would be willing to extradite ...
It's stunning to think he sat in office for four years and his only major legislative accomplishment was making rich people richer with his tax plan

He's just all id, all the time, screaming and farting and jerking himself off through life.
The best solution would be to change labor law and end the practice of tipping in the United States altogether.
It's a half-measure, but it's what we're getting and I hope it helps someone. https://t.co/NmIJIvEcon
His stimulus package seems really good. Ending subminimum wages for tipped workers is pretty huge.

Agreed, but that seems like a tough sell.

We need someone who will be willing to get dirty, to pull hair and kick nuts. That's our only hope of keeping them down.
I don't think Biden's that guy. I guess we'll see. https://t.co/touFFoMSPa
The problem with incompetent authoritarian coups is that they're generally followed by competent ones.

More from Biden
Sitting down to work for the first day of the Biden presidency is a surreal feeling.
So much happened yesterday. I'm going to collect my threads here on yesterday's big immigration news.
First, we got key details of Biden's big immigration
Once Biden had officially taken office, we got the first major action. As part of a standard transition process, the Biden White House froze all regulations which Trump had been trying to finalize at the last hour. I did a thread on what we
Last night we started getting more changes. One of the first was an order telling CBP to stop putting people into the so-called "Migrant Protection Protocols," a cruel program that's left thousands in a dangerous limbo. But there's still more to do!
After that, we began getting the text of immigration executive orders. The first one put onto the White House's website was the order ending the Muslim Ban/Africa Ban and ordering the State Department to come up with a plan for reconsidering
The next immigration executive order put on the White House's website revoked a Trump executive order from January 26, 2017 which made all undocumented immigrants a priority for deportation and directed a DHS-wide review of immigration

There is a LOT to like about this bill. I want to highlight some of the proposed changes beyond just legalization, including:

- Ending the 3 & 10 year bars
- Curbing the "Muslim ban" authority
- Preventing "aging out" of children on nonimmigrant visas.https://t.co/jkFBIcNJEb

This is a standard order issued following every transition, but today it feels so important because of how many horrific things were in the pipeline.

Here's a brief thread about some of the terrible anti-immigration regulations that didn't make it across the finish line.

Incredible.\U0001f38a I am overwhelmed with joy that we are finally seeing the end to one of the most cruel and heartless policies of the last four years\u2014one that caused horrific damage to peoples' lives.

\U0001f38aWe have our first immigration EO and it's the order ending the Muslim Ban/Africa Ban!

The Bans "are a stain on our national conscience and are inconsistent with our long history of welcoming people of all faiths and no faith at all."https://t.co/4lh20OCCAY pic.twitter.com/8mW9wuPyzc

\U0001f38aSecond immigration EO! It is short. It establishes that Biden believes that immigration enforcement "requires setting priorities to best serve the national interest."
— Aaron Reichlin-Melnick (@ReichlinMelnick) January 21, 2021
It then revokes Trump's original EO that made all undocumented immigrants a priority.https://t.co/MvaeqPbiyK pic.twitter.com/dpkVZAKOT2
