Never forgive senile Joe Biden and his administration of Harvard-educated genocide advocates who inherited the goodwill of millions of people who organized to overthrow a wannabe dictator and delivered us all right back to him for the sake of personal ambition and the divine right to murder Gazans.

When Dems won the midterms in 2006 they refused to hold anyone accountable for the Iraq war.

During Obama they also refused to do so, and they expanded ICE, DHS, military spending, prisons, and policing.

Biden's admin continued this trend.

The Dems are not gonna fcking save us, my friend

I love all the mindless repetition of "dictator, regime, tyrant" from the same people who swore on stacks of bibles about weapons of mass destruction.

Don’t worry Americans, in 2028 you can elect a Democrat who will spend their entire administration creating the desperate conditions and strife which cause people to vote for tyrannical Republicans.

I can’t remember who pointed this out, but it’s telling that ever since cellphone & surveillance cameras became ubiquitous we haven’t seen proof of a single UFO but we did suddenly have incontrovertible evidence of countless murders committed by cops.

a quick refresher in US geopolitics-speak since some of you appear to be fucking stupid:

"Democratically Elected" means "Does What US Corporations Want"

"Brutal Dictator" means "Doesn't"

The year is 2003. I’m 17 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil.

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

I remember how the United States of God Bless America once declared Maduro's previous election a fraud and declared some member of their national assembly - who had not even run for president - as the Real President of Venezuela. Brought the guy to Washington to show off.
Rest of world: laughter.

Getting domain registered for a sporting event with "Classic" in the name. GoDaddy's AI immediately created a 'coming soon' page for it, showing antique cars and talking about the excitement of classic cars.

Thank you GoDaddy tech support 'Ai' for trying to help me with an issue but after "Please allow me a few minutes to check" turned into fifteen minutes I'll try a crystal ball or tea leaves instead.

A Wall Street financier is shaping opinions for a newspaper owned by hedge funds to manufacture consent for technology built on intellectual theft to consolidate wealth and power into the hands of narcissistic billionaires while pouring gasoline on a climate crisis? 🤔
