I was going to say dogs break your rule but they scam me out of treats and attention so it still holds up.
The power of positive thinking.
I guess the glass is completely empty
The big beautiful obituary will be a great day.
Man the onion-style articles are gonna hit hard for that one
I will celebrate it like a best friends bday
The bars will run dry.
Me when that day finally comes
I get that Biden was pretty damn passive as a president, but holy moly was it just a relief for a while there to be able to completely forget the president even existed and wasn't actively destroying the world's view on the USA.
Like those 4 years were like sitting down for the first time.
If anybody cares in the future, I think Biden will have a renaissance like Carter, as people realize he was trying to do a lot of good stuff, put a lot of good people in place, etc...
It just wasn't enough, wasn't right for that moment, etc... etc... and arguably helped give us Trump again, though I think that was likely coming regardless.
What he was doing in and of itself wasn't bad, but it was ignoring the shrinking enthusiasm of the democratic base and the growing of the maga rhetoric. It reinforces the pendulum effect of letting the right wing swing back instead of giving the left a whole new momentum.

What's not to like about breaking the law to sell weapons for genocide, after all.

Biden made a ton of promises that the left wanted in order to get elected. We got inflation instead of a minimum wage increase. We got told that the economy was getting better while the price of everything but an hour's work went up. Telling people who can't afford groceries that everything is great because it's great for billionaires is a shit message from shit people.
Biden said that his decades of experience in the Senate meant that he could work across the aisle and accomplish his campaign promises. We watched members of his own party stymie every promise he made to the left, and watched people who just got what they wanted make excuse after excuse about how powerless and impotent the presidency is. After 4 years of watching trump do whatever he wanted with impunity, and just before watching biden ignore the Leahy law so he could sell weapons for genocide.
His heart was in the right place. Sure, if you consider genocide to be a virtue and lifting Americans out of poverty to be a vice.
He was still trying to play by "the old rules" too much. But had be been president in the 90s or early 2000s, he would've done a lot of good.
I do understand how little I'm saying. I just do think he deserves a tiny bit of credit for some of his efforts, that's all. But yeah, he was a wet sandwich.

I think that once he supported genocide, he lost the benefit of the doubt. And that was the most telling demonstration of who he always was and always intended to be.
My bar was low: "I don't want a president that nearly sparks world war over tweets."
Most Americans seem to disagree with me.

Depends on what the good thing is. If people want me celebrating that Trump didnt start or escalate a war for a whole month theyre out of luck
Did you guys totally miss what happened in Hungary?
Nawww man, we're in G.R.R.M Territory now.
Any good thing that happens just sets us up for some kind of miserable travesty.
First: hope so! Second: am I the only one bothered by a post that could easily have a quarter of the hight by not making me occasionally running into letters on a black void?

It'll be like that nut you have only once in a blue moon. The one where your body yeets all the feel goods and nearly pass out.
And that's just when billionaires are arrested.
Heated Rivalry released in this media landscape.
I've admittedly not seen it. I'm not sure I can afford to suddenly realize I'm gay in this economy. I've just got too much on my plate right now.
