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.

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.

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%.

It looks like we were both wrong its actually millions of jobs according to your source. (the whitehouse's own webpage.) So thats quite nice, but still has nothing to do with this post or what I am saying.
Once again, I am not arguing for the republicans. You keep responding as if I am. Again, illustrating my point perfectly.

I brought up class warfare.
You criticized the jobs bill. (If you don't want the Jobs bill to pass, you'd be in potential agreement with the others who don't want it to pass - ie. Republicans.)
Regarding drone warfare, that's a continued arrangement with the military industrial complex, which Biden hasn't changed, yet, because he's working on the jobs bill.

You are right, I shouldn't have said anything about the jobs bill after you brought it up. I only have myself to blame.

Yikes
(I don't like drone warfare, BTW, not in the least. Sends the wrong message.)
