Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I don't know how to read this other than him dabbing on the left, like oh you wanted this since day 1, enjoy it for a week.

It's even more baby-brained than that, because doing it this late in his term means he thinks it would have cost Kamala votes in the general.

Idk how to explain to Democrats that it's not the year 2000 anymore and that Florida is not a swing state. The gusanos will both never vote for you nor would they even be capable of flipping Florida as a bloc.

I think it's a gimme to Trump so that he has something to loudly and publicly reverse

[–] FromPieces@lemmygrad.ml 37 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Is it easy as saying so for Trump to put it back on?

Which is what pisses me off even more. I remember ~4 years ago a reporter asked Psaki about this and she said Biden had other, bigger priorities on his plate. Like it takes 4 seconds to sign this (well maybe more like 40 for Biden), he was not “too busy”.

His brain was very busy collapsing in on itself

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago

He doesn't even need to do that as far as I know.

As a rule of thumb, its always way easier to put sanctions and such in place than it is to remove them.
