LOL

It's hilarious that people assume a US president has any real power in geopolitics, as if Biden were a Bond villain, plotting world domination, stroking his Persian pussy while pressing buttons that open trap doors and his guests fall into a shark infested pool. That said, perhaps he'd not have so many haters if this were the case. McConnell would be shark bait. Bwaahaahaa!

I think Biden is a bumbling idiot. We both know that he is one, it's why you laughed so hard. He has no use, except to manipulate the public. Trump was the same, as were the last five Presidents. They've all been one big joke.

Sorry. I don't know what to tell you. I wish it weren't so.

OK - if we can stop focusing on Biden as a Bond villain, let's look at the bombing in the appropriately broad context, which extends back several decades. After the "Cold War" (if it really ended), c. 1990, the US military complex continued to offer support for 3rd-world and developing countries that wanted regime change or other kinds of US support. This became an income stream for those countries, even if some of the support was in goods and services. To keep that support from drying up, many in those countries continued their religious wars, genocide &c (though many in the conflicts were not looking at the geopolitical rationale of their leaders). For the US military industrial compled this was a win - win. They had a new reason to exist (at great expense to the tax payer), while also fomenting war abroad, and and as those conflicts began to involve wealthier countries (for various reasons that would require an essay), those wealthier countries would buy trillions in military technology from the US. Rinse, repeat.

Did the Bden Administration do anything to stop this trend by the US mlitary industrial complex. It seems: no. That said, they did continue with the pull-out of Afghanistan - at great political cost - which must have pissed off the military. Repuglicans who continually called for the pull-out are now saying that Biden single-handedly fucked up, because we should have stayed in Afghanistan. The BIGGEST problem with American politics is that so many voters forget about their own history, as they have the attention spans of a gnat in heat.

Biden is no more of a bond villain than Trump, Obama or Bush. They are all purveyors of war as were Clinton and Bush 1.

My comment was a funny way of describing he bullshit theatrics performed by each president since 9/11 all of whom have furthered foreign aggression on their particular chosen illegal wars while scaling down a particular war to appear to be making changes and creating a false debate of which party is ending wars and which is furthering the MIC interests and expanding foreign military intervention. I am not interested in that debate.

Go right ahead and defend your guy cause he is on your team and continue to be a part of the enabling that allows for these never ending wars to continue and ensures the white house is occupied by friends of the war party on either side of the isle.

He's not "my guy"; he's helping others pass a jobs bill. Republicans who are lobbying to defeat the jobs bill are traitors to the 99% (as usual). Republicans guilty of treason treason. Biden and others who support the jobs bill (and supported the election reform bill) are the ones who are trying to help the 99%. It's that simple.

[–]turtlew0rk 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

Well Biden has never been anyones "guy", that is true. lol But he is the one that the democrats went with so it doesn't really matter. He is your guy now.

How is he helping others pass a jobs bill? Who are the others and what bill? Since when is lobbying treason? Wait!!!! Aren't we talking about war here? You have illustrated my point perfectly.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

Look up class warfare and income inequality, rather than rant about something you've seemingly never heard of.

You note "Biden has never been anyones 'guy'" and then you note that, "he is your guy now." This is talking in circles.

Why would you not know about the bills in Congress if you are so sure about your political criticisms? You've revealed here that you don't know about the topic you're discussing. Read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Jobs_Plan

I thought I was in an antiwar sub on saidit. I didn't realize this was r/politics all over again. My mistake.

The jobs plan sounds super! 2 Trillion for between 10 and 20k jobs will do a lot to improve income inequality and certainly he inflation caused by this and the other trillions won't result in even more inflation that will disproportionally affect the 99%.

Meanwhile the dronings continue unquestioned killing scores of innocents all over the world in a never ending war with an unlimited budget regardless of which party is in the white house.

Have you looked up those numbers? If so, where.

In one of the sectors (of several sectors), the plan "would be creating hundreds of thousands of quality jobs today." Source

Republicans put the US 27 trillion in debt before Biden took office. Was that money invested in middle-class jobs? (No.) That money was "invested" in the 1%, who've not intested the money. Many of them gave that money directly to shareholders. The 99% deserve that 2 Trillion investment, and much much more. The US should invest in the 99%. Interest rates will level out because economic growth will help the country, now after COVID19 lockdowns. The Republicans should pay back the 27 trillion. 2 Trillion for jobs would be brilliant. Which groups continues to get in the way of that bill? Republicans. Why? Because they will NEVER help the 99%.

The problem is: why focus on Biden, when you know that the Military Industrial Complex has been running that geopolitical show for over a century (not the President)? Those who blame Presidents for US military intervention seem to have no idea about the network that causes US military intervention. It's the damn 1% doing this. The Executive Branch is a very small part of that network. If you want to criticize Biden, ask about what he's doing to limit that network. Like his predecessors: not much.

You are a clown. Fuck Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush, and Clinton. They deserve to be put on trial and exiled to an island with no vegetation, with cameras watching so we can see how quickly they fall into cannibalism and rape.

Are you having trouble following the Saidit guidelines? Also, none of this addresses my comment.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

I am going to call you vile until the day one of us gets banned. I do not do this with other users except for obvious astroturfers like you.

You're merely revealing that you have emotional problems. It's boring.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Huh, revealing to others that I despise shills?
