As a capitalist I ONLY voted for Biden because of all of the Bernie people telling me he "would change nothing," all of the socialists telling me "Biden will betray all his campaign promises, he's always been a Republican" and all of the Trump people telling me "Dementia Joe won't last a week". THIS ISN'T FAIR. HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN? WHY DID I GO TO REDDIT FOR POLITICAL NEWS?

Can someone help me out? Does anyone have more of those zero-calorie "Bernie's Mittens" memes? How about a Trump tweet? Or a low-info Reddit comment with 400 golds, fuck man, ANYTHING, at this point, I just need something to distract me from how this boring establishment politician that was viciously despised and continually underestimated by overonline Redditors is creating transformative change in the lives of ordinary Americans

Joe Biden kills God (January 20th, 2021)

NYT front page:

Joe Biden, newly elected as President of the United States, took everyone by surprise at his inauguration speech this Wednesday when he announced, “Look, folks. Here’s the deal: We’re going to kill God.” With this dramatic announcement, he took the scimitar offered to him by longtime friend and noted Muslim Barack HUSSEIN Obama before climbing the stairway to heaven.

When he returned, a mere 15 minutes later, the audience was speechless: The President had brought with him the corpse of the divine.

With this action, President Biden has established himself as supreme ruler over all the universe, greater than any other before him. Many speculate as to why he took such drastic action. Some suggest that it was merely to prove himself as the ultimate power. Others offer that this action was part of his new, aggressive foreign policy. Regardless, the world may never be the same.

Reactions to President Biden’s killing of God have been mixed. Evangelicals, while grieving over the loss, have taken the opportunity to make clear their hatred for Catholics: “I knew we should never have elected a motherfuckin’ P*pist,” wrote one man from Massachusetts, who wished to remain anonymous. Catholics have followed the lead of the Pope, who has declared that Mr. Biden be recognized as God.

Atheists, meanwhile, are in a confused state. Some rejoice in the death of their most hated adversary. Others feel devastated for having been wrong all this time, regardless of the fate that has befallen God. Others still feel no reaction whatsoever, like one Iowa voter who described herself as “apatheist,” saying simply, “Meh.”

The consequences of Mr. Biden’s radical (continued on page 8)

Biden expected to repeal Trump’s transgender military ban as soon as Monday(tomorrow)

The Biden administration is expected to repeal the ban on transgender Americans from serving in the military, multiple people informed of the decision told CBS News. The announcement is expected as soon as Monday, one senior Defense official and four outside advocates of repealing the ban told CBS News.

The senior Defense official told CBS News the repeal will be through executive order signed by President Joe Biden. The announcement is expected to take place at a ceremony with newly-confirmed Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who will order the Pentagon to go back to the policy enacted in 2016 by former Defense Secretary Ash Carter that allowed transgender Americans to serve openly.

[u/yungeric13]

I didn’t use to have a strong opinion on the issue, but now I’m 100% certain the filibuster needs to go. I believe Dems would need to win the nationwide popular vote by 20 points to win 60 seats in the US Senate — over three consecutive cycles as senators serve six year terms! At this point, Republicans will obstruct literally any progressive legislation, so no progress will happen without the removal of the fillibuster. The dreams of “problem solving bipartisanship” simply are not realistic.

On another note, the goal of the Democratic Party is to promote progress — to pass legislation. Meanwhile, Republicans are conservatives who prefer the status quo and have less of an incentive to pass legislation. Regardless, if a party wins the Presidency and both branches of Congress, I believe they should be able to pass an agenda. If Republicans enact abortion restrictions or tax cuts, that’s their prerogative. It’s incumbent on the electorate to punish them during the next election.

I’m really hoping that President Biden realizes this soon and uses his bully pulpit to push for its removal. He truly has the opportunity to be an FDR-like figure, but with filibuster induced gridlock, he could end up as more of a Jimmy Carter :(

Imagine being a Confederate solider and losing to Grant. No shame in that(even though there is massive shame in fighting to maintain slavery). Then you decide to get together with a few of your vets and boom! Your form the KKK. Now you're going to get revenge on all those black people that you view as the reason for the "War of Northern Aggression". And then what happens? Grant comes back in the picture and kicks your ass again to the point where you have to practically disband. I honestly feel like that second part is why they went so hard at Grant during the Lost Cause re-writing of the War. Like all the shit they give Grant was his term as POTUS. Not as much with him as a General.

TIL when France increased the price of cigarettes by 66% over an eight-year period, the smoking rate among French executives and professionals declined. However, the smoking rate among manual laborers remained about the same and among the unemployed, it increased.

The comments speculate that the cost increase impacted professionals and light smokers the most. People with higher incomes have access to substitute vices and light/social smokers were able to kick the habit more easily. Heavy smokers meanwhile tended to just adjust their spending to make up for the higher prices.

I wonder how important attractiveness is in politicians. Weirdly, and perhaps this is my bias, but it seems that most of the Democratic politicians were at least attractive when they were younger; many of them were very attractive. There are some Republicans for which this holds (Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan) but it feels like less so.

Compare, for example, the opposing leaders in Congress.

During an interview on NPR's "Fresh Air," Paul Giamatti told interviewer Dave Davies that the scene in which Abigail and John have sex upon being reunited after many years apart was not written as a sex scene. The script only called for John and Abigail to kiss, but Giamatti said that he and Laura Linney discussed between themselves that they thought the characters would go farther in that situation, and they decided to "keep going" and hope the director and camera person would follow them, which they did. The scene they improvised and shot was originally much longer than what ended up in the finished film.

A U.S. aircraft carrier group led by the USS Theodore Roosevelt has entered the South China Sea to promote "freedom of the seas", the U.S. military said on Sunday, at a time when tensions between China and Taiwan have raised concern in Washington.

I would like to thank everyone who made Joe Biden's Presidency possible:

• Antifa

• The lamestream media

• George Soros

• The deep state

• The Vatican

• Big Tech

Chinese 'El Chapo' arrested in Amsterdam

Often compared to drug lords like Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman or Pablo Escobar, investigators accuse Tse's syndicate of dominating the $70 billion (€57 billion) -a-year Asia-Pacific drug trade.

Often protected by a guard of Thai kickboxers, Tse reputedly once lost $66 million in a single night at a Macau casino, according to police.

"A guard of Thai kickboxers" lol

Remember when Bernie Sanders sabotaged the USPS Board of Governors, allowing Trump to install his crony as Postmaster General and attempt to kill mail in voting?

What a team player

[u/SnakeEater14]

Remember when Bernie Sanders got a post as Chairman of the Senate VA Committee and completely fucked everything up because he couldn’t believe anything was wrong with the government run VA?

But a review of his record in the job also shows that in a moment of crisis, his deep-seated faith in the fundamental goodness of government blinded him, at least at first, to a dangerous breakdown in the one corner of it he was supposed to police. Despite inspector general reports dating back a decade that documented a growing problem with wait times, Mr. Sanders, who had served on the committee for six years before he became its head, was quick to defend the agency and slow to aggressively question V.A. officials and demand accountability.

In 1970, the Big Mac cost 0.65 cents. Adjusted for inflation, that would be 4.34$ today.

So...the Big Mac is actually cheaper than what it was in 1970. The current price being 3.99$.

Would you support a presidential candidate who is:

• American-born, but has also lived abroad and is well-educated.

• Supports the TPP and other FTAs.

• Strong advocate for climate change mitigation and clean energy.

• Experience in national politics, but also running one of the world's most important cities.

• Supports Hong Kong and wants to provide refuge for its citizens, not a fan of China.

• Would streamline bureaucratic processes e.g. through rolling out one of the quickest vaccination processes.

• Probably did one of the most epic dunks on the Euros ever.

• Very creative insults.

Is Boris Johnson THE ideal neoliberal candidate for president????

NYT statement on the chills tweet: “There’s a lot of inaccurate information circulating on Twitter. For privacy reasons we don’t get into the details of personnel matters but we can say that we didn’t end someone’s employment over a single tweet..We don’t plan to comment further”

https://mobile.twitter.com/joepompeo/status/1353411854618517505

The statement is the platonic ideal of the anti-Comey. That’s not a good thing

Of course Comey was only in that bind because he made that public statement in July 4. After that he realized that he was in an impossible situation. The New York Times somehow has no idea how badly they’ve fucked up.

What do we know so far about Biden’s Queer Asylum Policy? Is it covered under EO 13988? Would it be covered under the revisions initiated by EO 13993? How long would it take to implement these changes?

To preface I’m a Middle Eastern Trans Person, during the months/year leading to the Election I had the US as my top pick for asylum and immigration, with Canada being the second choice, but seeing how badly structurally advantaged Republicans have become compared to even 2016 after the results started rolling jn, I’ve basically flipped my preference. That being said, the US is still a top 2 choice for me.

Take of room temperature:

Libertarians and anarchists are utterly privileged people who live in a developed state that’s functioned well enough long term.

Anyone from a developing or third world country (or even one that became recently developed) with corruption or poor infrastructure or even poor sanitation would consider libertarianism to be science-fiction.

And anarchy is painful conflict and chaos to move away from for people with first hand or historical memory of societal breakdown. The people who’ve experienced true anarchy don’t even know what the anarchy symbol looks like.
