I've repeatedly been told that that thread was the "Joe Biden sucks" thread. What attitude toward Joe Biden does this thread take?

Donald Trump Also Sucks, Of Course

Given that this is still ilx, it's going to be "Joe Biden sucks" here too, I'm predicting.

Joe Biden is president, still sucks, and this will be discussed at length in this and twenty other threads

Yeah, I mean, I'm sure people will talk about how much Joe Biden sucks wherever they like, but in that other thread, if I pushed back on "Joe Biden sucks" posts, I would be told "Hey, this is the 'Joe Biden sucks' thread, there are a bunch of other Joe Biden threads you can post on." Just want to get a sense of what's appropriate here.

just to clarify: this thread is intended solely for discussion of the long term viability and survival statistic rates for the north island brown kiwi (Apteryx mantelli)

Hold on now, Trump still has another 10 minutes of so.

Celebrity inauguration just another reminder of exactly how good policy should be, and strive to be, performed in as boring a way as is possible bg the least glamorous people in the room

Inaugurations /= policy

tbc it wasn’t pushing back on, or genuinely engaging with, “joe biden sucks” posts that got that response, it was complaints that there were “joe biden sucks” posts in the decade-and-a-half-long joe biden sucking thread, and wishes that people making individual posts about joe biden doing & saying new, specific things that sucked would instead make posts about joe biden smelling of vanilla and puppies.

I don't feel like relitigating, but I'm hoping that this new thread can be a good all-purpose President Joe Biden thread and not be viewed as a "Joe Biden sucks" thread. Feel free, of course, to post about how Joe Biden sucks.

Why the need at all for a joe biden, prez, thread when there is tbf a us politics thread which he presumably now somewhat comes under the remit of

#∞thread

I made that point several times but idk you know how they are

Murrah and i do

BoJo thread should get routinely updated in retaliation.

Would say we need a betting pool thread for the first coup but they already made it clear that Venezuela is top of the list.

also the fourth or fifth thread about joey joe joe junior shabadoo

inshallah

Feel free, of course, to post about how Joe Biden sucks.

We've got this.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/
we got new website

Please let us just enjoy this for a day for a month.

Joe Biden sucks, what has he done for me so far it’s been an hour

Nobody is allowed to enjoy anything fyi, this cannot be news at this stage surely

everyone is allowed to enjoy trump's humiliation

Now we can get back to business as usual: smart, responsible, and technically legal war crimes as well as a robust package of corporate kickbacks coupled with targeted (and likely temporary) social programs

xxp there just shouldn't be a "and trump lite is great" clause attached to the celebration of it

Lots of "Liberals howled when Trump ________________. But when Biden _____________ there wasn't a peep" madlib columns are itching to be filled out.

well tbf I haven't heard much liberal condemnation of biden's concentration camps yet

can we still call them that when a good guy is in charge

I still kinda can’t believe we made it.

atm feeling mostly like we've been helplessly standing by as someone hacked their way through the dam that keeps us all from drowning, and Biden is the dude who is currently blocking that crude hole with his wizened body. I am thankful to have him plugging up the hole while we do something about the water that's currently up to our noses, and we'll see if he's able to do anything beyond that.

countdown to Biden reversing some Trumpian atrocity of an Executive Order later today and the Republicans immediately co-opting #Resist hashtag... 3... 2...

i'm preparing to endure an enormous amount of bullshit from the left and the right for the rest of my life

congratulations to america on their new rapist president

from the center it's all coming up roses tho

there is no center, and if there is, it's the genesis of bullshit

oh yeah well does your table... is... a table... ah shit, nm

lmfao

I dunno, given that we’re experiencing a series of cascading social collapses, I think people doubling down on system justification expression is going to increase.

A lot more folks will be compelled to go full-Thomas Friedman in all avenues of communication just to stave off horror.

Once again, bipartisanship!

And what do you call this act? Etc.

The White House refused to call for an investigation into the police response to the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, saying President Joe Biden
"has the utmost respect for the men and women of law enforcement."

COPS: we engaged outside and he was wearing armor. actually we didn't and he wasnt but the resource officer followed him inside and then we contained him. uh there was no RO actually and we were standing outside for an hour tasing parents,
BIDEN: god bless our honest sexy cops https://t.co/pwpi4qh1rf

Joe Biden was not currently the President of the United States of America, but he would have liked to be:

Roe v. Wade is the law of the land, and we must fight any and all attempts to overturn it. As president, I will codify Roe into law and ensure this choice remains between a woman and her doctor. https://t.co/kaJbYWcYhL

— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) October 5, 2019

I’ve warned about how overturning Roe risks a broader right to privacy for everyone.

The right to make the best decisions for your health.
The right to marry the person you love.

With your vote, you can act. You can have the final word. This is not over.

"a robert davi film"

lol laurence fox is hunter biden?!?

Finally, a movie I want to see

Holy fuck I think I need to watch that

Ahahaha is that Gina Carano

lol

Biden spending 90% of his job mumbling and checked out then 10% of it hilariously shit talking while tearing through six months of goals in three weeks kind of makes him the most relatable president of all time

Robert Davi is an award-winning actor, screenwriter, director, producer and jazz vocalist.

apparently Davi has a longer history with the conservative media sphere, kind of a bummer, really enjoy him as a character actor in all his big hammy parts. looks like he is playing Brezhnev in an upcoming hagiographic Reagan biopic.

he did sing in The Goonies.

Hunter movie subset of this:

"And this popped into my hands. And I was frustrated, like all of America watching that Biden story: the laptop story being buried, continually buried — except for people like [host Jesse Watters] that brought it forward. So when it came into my hands, I was like Peter Finch in ‘Network’ — I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore, as the American people are."

Davi said the film, like many other projects from the Irish-American documentarians behind it, was funded through crowd-sourcing.

So obviously the story they wanna tell is that the scandalous laptop “ruins everything” and that Joe loses as a result, which obviously didn’t happen, so they’re gonna have to lean into the whole voter fraud angle and I’m legitimately curious how hard they’re gonna do it

just wait for the GOP to take the house. they'll let everyone know, as, unfortunately, they are going to have to impeach biden for what he did

and, if they steal things competently enough, they are unfortunately going to have to have the DOJ prosecute biden. he'll probably die before that gets sorted out though

sorry, i just read an important op-ed titled "No, MAGA Republicans do not support ‘semi-fascism'", by Henry Olsen in the Washington Post. i am awash in a turd that has melted and i'm beginning to get used to the smells

Without reading further, I agree with Olsen's thesis!

I'm mad that the Hunter trailer made me feel begrudging respect for Adam McKay

add Network to the long list of artworks conservatives apparently did not watch or read in full lmao

"I can't seem to find anything but positive stuff on the Bidens."

Such a good line.

They 100% wanted to use "Bad Guy" in this trailer.

Bjork's "Hunter" would be surprisingly apt

Good week for right wing media accidentally making Biden cool.

The Hunter movie could have been great if Oliver Stone directed it while coked out of his gourd.

Without reading further, I agree with Olsen's thesis!

Right, no half measures for them.

The ironic thing is the perfect casting choice for Hunter would’ve been…Don Jr.

"I wanna know everything on that laptop that can ruin my erection."

"Erection, that is!"

Holy shit that Hunter Biden movie looks awesome. I hope it begets a whole bunch of increasingly insane sequels, like the "Universal Soldier" franchise.

As a proud pro-labor President, I am reluctant to override the ratification procedures and the views of those who voted against the agreement. BUT!

I share workers’ concern about the inability to take leave to recover from illness or care for a sick family member. No one should have to choose between their job and their health – or the health of their children. I have pressed legislation and proposals to advance the cause of paid leave in my two years in office, and will continue to do so. Every other developed country in the world has such protections for its workers. 

BUT!

Did Biden have relative freedom (or the benefit of the doubt) in his appointments and executive actions, and did he use that power well? Was he influenced (via his inner circle appointments) by his experience as VP? Or does it say more about his character? That it is better not to have too strong convictions (at the expense of the present or the problem at hand)?

In Dundalk, Joe Biden pays tribute to his cousin Rob Kearney, and his particular role on the memorable day at Soldier Field in Chicago where the Irish rugby team beat “the hell out of the Black and Tans” 👀

— Gavan Reilly (@gavreilly) April 12, 2023

Joe Biden, talking about his distant cousin Rob Kearney being in an Irish rugby team that beat the All Blacks, just said they “beat the hell out of the Black and Tans”.

Funny how he never mentions that the Bidens were originally from Sussex.

Can you blame him?

He's not really Irish then I guess.

I do like the way his loudly demonstrative ancestery.com tendencies wind up DUP politicians to the point some of them sounded on the verge of a stroke earlier

That’s very funny for sure

He's not really Irish then I guess

I think he's American.

I've had that suspicion, too.
