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.

2024's gonna be bad.
More from Biden
I got overnight via email a query from @briansflood at Fox News, the principal part of which I reproduce below. I answered by email too. I'll append that reply in the next threaded tweet:
My reply:
Hunter Biden's dubious business activities have been reported for years. Here for example is @TheAtlantic in September 2019, year *before* @nypost https://t.co/qZBTpyuysM
That emails attributed to Hunter Biden were circulating was also known well before the NYPost story in October. Here's TIME magazine https://t.co/JvpEKdG0U4
What @NYPost added to the work earlier done by others was a new *origin* story for the materials that circulated in Ukraine in 2019. When other media organizations attempted to corroborate that story, hijinx ensued. https://t.co/ZJGZWq7etU @thedailybeast account

Okay. That was quick. I’m done with Biden. Renata Hesse is total nightmare for workers. Her previous stint in DOJ had her tightening restrictions on songwriters while letting big tech off the hook. She is a pawn of Silicon Valley. Be very very afraid.
Former Google attorney Renata Hesse when working at DOJ antitrust tried to change the details of the BMI and ASCAP consent decrees that would have made a $1 Billion lawsuit against Google go away. This is horrendously corrupt. This is a terrible terrible start for Biden.

The Prospect and The Intercept have learned that Renata Hesse, a former Obama Justice Department official who then went on to work for Google and Amazon, is a leading contender to head up the DoJ Antitrust Division.
