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
In the campaign, Biden said he would not approve new fracking permits on federal lands. But he would allow existing fracking to continue on federal property and existing and new fracking to continue on private land. .... https://t.co/EDVj7RQdFs

The economy is bleeding, and the Biden administration's response is to cripple one of the few industries that has been consistently employing people throughout this crisis.
But, his allies in the media don't want him to take that PR hit, so they run cover and play word games. Biden's exact words were "We are not going to ban fracking. Period." The "Period." there would imply that ANY ban is off the table.
If you are going to prohibit via executive order - which is nothing more than a law passed outside of the normal legislative process - anything, you are "legally" prohibiting it. There are legal consequences to violating that regulation.
So yes, definitionally, Biden has "legally prohibited" fracking in some way, shape, or form, which is the opposite of his campaign statements.
In other words, he lied.
I think Joe Biden should pick his Iran envoy, not Tom Cotton and a bunch of cheerleaders for MBS and American authoritarianism. Elections have consequences.

2. In 2016 I was a Princeton graduate student who excitedly supported the JCPOA and the new era of Iran-US diplomacy it was meant to usher. Such was my optimism that I actually went to Iran for dissertation research. That’s when my nightmare began.
3. I was arrested by Iranian security forces and held hostage in Evin prison-away from my wife and infant son-for more than 3 years. The regime knew I was innocent and told me so. It took me 40 months in Evin to comprehend what had happened to me.
4. As a political prisoner I’ve likely had more intensive contact with Iranian hardliners than most Iran watchers in the US, especially US govt officials like Mr. Rhodes and Malley. I believe the insights derived from that experience have a unique value.
5. I support strengthening the nuclear deal, but am convinced the JCPOA of 2015 is well-intended yet inadequate. Simply lifting pressure against Iran and allowing it to benefit from economic integration produced NO further incentive for the regime to change its behavior.
