45 + 47 equals 92. just thought i’d share that math fact if anybody was interested

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 hours ago

So smart, much wise.

[-] Professorozone@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

This is absolutely brilliant.

Biden should do an "official act", then resign immediately afterwards.

[-] CheeryLBottom@lemmy.world 49 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Like expanding the Supreme Court

[-] BallsandBayonets@lemmings.world 5 points 4 hours ago

Expand the Supreme Court to 200 people, appoint the most progressive persons out there. Federally legalize marijuana and drop all restrictions on it. Forgive all student and medical debt. Raise the federal minimum wage to $30/hr. Tax all rental income at 4,000%.

Sure it would probably all get undone before the Toupee hit 100 days in office, but what a sweet couple months that would be.

[-] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 21 points 7 hours ago

I was thinking long range lobotomy.

[-] CheeryLBottom@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

My 85 year old German mother-in-law (born in 1939 and moved to Canada around 1960), suggested the same thing.

(PS I'm an American living in Canada)

During his first term at the gym this little old lady was working out on the treadmill next to me and when Kelly Ann Conway came on the tv, she leans over and goes, oh that lady shouldn't be alive. (paraphrasing to not get banned)

are you enjoying your healthcare?

[-] Living_Dead@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Canadian here, the health care is useable. It keeps being underfunded atleast here in Ontario but you can get it with no cost... just be prepared to wait in ER.

[-] CybertoothTiger@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

I already wait in the ER for hours, then have the privilege of paying out the ass for it.

[-] Badeendje@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

If you can wait in an ER there are people that have it worse.. proper distributed healthcare outside hospitals would dramatically reduce this issue, GPs handle so much that the US handles through emergency rooms.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 24 points 8 hours ago

Ah yes, yes...that's exactly what I meant.

[-] Freefall@lemmy.world 9 points 6 hours ago

And removing the "presidential power to pardon".

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 19 points 7 hours ago

I love the idea but hate the thought they would just reprint and make more money.

[-] Professorozone@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

Yeah, but we would get to say we had a female president.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 0 points 5 hours ago
[-] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 27 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

It's honestly the least he could do. Sure he was a good president with good policies but keeping your head down and fixing things that the GOP are only going to claim credit for isn't helpful at the moment. The DNC has managed to turn decades of good will and evaporate it into nothing. So yes, giving us this small inconsequential win would not be too big of an ask.

[-] eksb@programming.dev 242 points 12 hours ago

Another wild thought: Biden could test the limits of presidential immunity.

[-] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 68 points 12 hours ago

Joe Biden should see if squatters rights extend to the White House.

[-] Spiralvortexisalie@lemmy.world 40 points 11 hours ago

Biden already worked under someone who had no problem killing US civilians Source. That escaped prosecution because it was an official act despite it being a clearly criminal act 18 U.S. Code § 1119

[-] NostraDavid@programming.dev 5 points 7 hours ago

Didn't Obama also kick out more illegal immigrants than a bunch of presidents before him? Maybe I'm misremembering, but I do remember nobody giving a shit about illegal immigrants being kicked out. Then Trump came and people freaked out, as if it didn't happen under Obama as well.

Shit was weird.

[-] Spiralvortexisalie@lemmy.world 9 points 7 hours ago

Obama was literally known as deporter-in-chief and he deported more in his in either of his terms than Trump did in his four years Source. But be careful some smart ass is probably gonna start screaming you can’t say both sides, and you’re a foreign asset trying to depress the vote because they can’t be bothered to read.

[-] Kurokujo@lemm.ee 2 points 3 hours ago

From my perspective it was less about the numbers and more about how vocal Trump was about his intentions. Add to that the family separation policy and the STILL MISSING children when he's a known associate of Epstien there was plenty to be upset about.

[-] Spiralvortexisalie@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

So you claim that Trump is objectively worse because he was vocal rather than Obama doing it on a muted basis? Despite Obama doing substantially higher numbers? That is definitely some take on these set of facts.

[-] Hacksaw@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

Wow, I have no clue how you thought this fact was enough to argue against "Trump is objectively worse than Obama".

Trump is by far, and I mean by an unreal margin, the WORST human being to ever hold the seat of President of the United States of America. There is no debate that Trump is objectively the worst.

Now sure some people did some things more than others. That's true for everything. Obama deporting illegal immigrants is nothing like the racism and hatred towards racialized Americans has stoked on the last 8 years. An illegal immigrant KNOWS their number could be up at any time, it's not a hateful act to legally deport them. But now, EVERY minority in the US, and all women, know their number might get called at any time, and that's a fear that no lawful citizen deserves.

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

thanks for sharing that. i was not aware of it. it’s particularly brutal that the link is fact checking ron desantis of all people, but i guess it’s not impossible for a republican to say something true on occasion (even if by accident).

i thought this quote from the link was particularly damning:

But did Trump deport fewer people than Obama? There are different deportation metrics, and Obama surpassed Trump’s numbers in each one.

First women president as an asterix is just sad.

[-] Sergio@slrpnk.net 25 points 9 hours ago

fwiw she briefly had presidential powers a couple years ago when Biden was sedated for a medical procedure. Source.

[-] weeeeum@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Ehhh, "acting president" is not really PRESIDENT president, y'know?

[-] Sergio@slrpnk.net 3 points 4 hours ago

The funny thing is reading the source article, when Trump had the same procedure, he didn't make Pence the acting president because he didn't trust Pence with presidential powers for even an hour.

[-] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 22 points 9 hours ago

I was thinking this too. Except he should do it right before Thanksgiving, so Kamala’s fist job as president is pardon the turkeys.

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 32 points 10 hours ago

Oh no, those poor wealthy maga merch company owners would have to print something new knowing their cult would feel obligated to buy it?

Funny in theory but it'd just enrich the grifters. Yeah, the cult members deserve it...but I can't get behind furthering the wealth divide

[-] zanyllama52@infosec.pub 0 points 3 hours ago

All that would do is gut new trump merch out into the world, and earn him more money. How would this be good?

[-] notsure@fedia.io 40 points 12 hours ago

i like the way you think

[-] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 33 points 12 hours ago

That would be fucking brilliant.

[-] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 21 points 12 hours ago

I need you to understand that these diaper-wearing fucks would just buy both

[-] 4am@lemm.ee 17 points 12 hours ago

And by the time they made it they’d have to pay tariffs on it 😂

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 10 points 12 hours ago

Hilarious. I love it!

Just fuck off suddenly and without warning. Later losers!
