45 + 47 equals 92. just thought i’d share that math fact if anybody was interested
So smart, much wise.
This is absolutely brilliant.
Biden should do an "official act", then resign immediately afterwards.
Like expanding the Supreme Court
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.
I was thinking long range lobotomy.
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?
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.
I already wait in the ER for hours, then have the privilege of paying out the ass for it.
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.
Ah yes, yes...that's exactly what I meant.
And removing the "presidential power to pardon".
I love the idea but hate the thought they would just reprint and make more money.
Yeah, but we would get to say we had a female president.
Tihi.
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.
Another wild thought: Biden could test the limits of presidential immunity.
Joe Biden should see if squatters rights extend to the White House.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Grandpa's got a rifle, Grandpa's got a scope, Grandpa sees you winning, Grandpa blasts a NOPE.
First women president as an asterix is just sad.
fwiw she briefly had presidential powers a couple years ago when Biden was sedated for a medical procedure. Source.
Ehhh, "acting president" is not really PRESIDENT president, y'know?
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.
I was thinking this too. Except he should do it right before Thanksgiving, so Kamala’s fist job as president is pardon the turkeys.
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
All that would do is gut new trump merch out into the world, and earn him more money. How would this be good?
i like the way you think
That would be fucking brilliant.
I need you to understand that these diaper-wearing fucks would just buy both
And by the time they made it they’d have to pay tariffs on it 😂
Hilarious. I love it!
Just fuck off suddenly and without warning. Later losers!
