Come on, man. Use the last of your life force to release Dark Brandon one more time. The shows over after this no matter what.
'...preserve, protect and defend the Constitution...'
duty-bound to take donvict and all his comrades out, or at least round 'em up and ship 'em off to gitmo for a little island vaca. cruz would love that, winter's coming.
…But he won’t do anything and we all know it. Their inaction is proof that all the cries of “democracy is in peril!” was a cynical tactic to drum up votes. If they were sincere about any of that, they would have had plans in place for these last couple months. Trump led an armed insurrection four years ago, but the democrats are more concerned with maintaining decorum and “reaching across the aisle” than they are with chasing even a vague semblance of justice.
Hell, they’re not even interested in going after Gaetz with any real sense of urgency or vigor. Nixon was pardoned and this is the law of the land. Remember, Democrats and Republicans though they may be, they still all work for the same organization.
He won't do any of it... but,
Warning on 3 and 5. The UK destroyed records of immigrants who were invited over to help rebuild Britain postwar and their children. Then a racist Conservative government deported a bunch of them who were children in the 1940s and didn't have proof of legal immigration status - the only legal documentation had been destroyed. These now old people were dumped back in the Caribbean having lived in the UK for almost their entire lives. It was brutal.
I think #4 already happened.
Yup, the only ones he didn't pardon were the ones with "intent to distribute", and those should probably be pardoned, and those driving under the influence, who maybe shouldn't.

I'd be worried about the ones charged with driving under the influence. It could easily be a way of profiling, given that there isn't any objective way to prove someone's high and not just having consumed within a couple days. The only current way that I know of is a field sobriety test, which can be a bit subjective.

You can do blood tests for THC, which are a reliable measure.
You are probably thinking of THC-COOH urine or saliva tests, which indeed will show positive for days or even weeks after you are already sober again, since THC-COOH is a metabolite of THC that takes very long to break down and does not have psychoactive properties
Just do it how Canada does it, they have a very reasonable cut-off value for THC blood concentration that even regular consumers with a tolerance for THC won't surpass while sober again
Bidens 2019 promise to rich donors: "No ones standard of living will change"
Promise kept. Too bad he lost the lower and middle class with that, but it was past time for the charade to be over anyway.

Politicians can’t and won’t save us. We have to save ourselves.
Learn to build guillotines
Nooooo don't call for violence1!!
Protest PEACEFULLY! Vote away the baddies!! Keep going to work!
🔥🔥🔥
Guillotines are hard to move. A little bit of gas and a source of flame works just as well.
Vigilantism is so cool. Then we become adults and join society.
I heard the FBI has a file on Tulsi Gabbard and her activities with Russia et al. Biden could declassify that report to tank her becoming DNI. Mentioned on the "Hacks on Tap" podcast from yesterday, so this isn't just some social media conspiracy theory, it comes from plugged in politicos. Biden won't, but he could.

What so far leads you to believe that a Republican-controlled senate is going to reject a Trump appointment no matter what is released? Sure, it would be great if Biden did this, but at this point I'm convinced this would be the effect:
Anyone not a Trump supporter: Yeah! Score one for the good guys! She'll never be confirmed now!
Republican Senate: Appointment confirmed!
Trump Supporters: Cool, now on to Dr. Oz!
Biden was never the person to be tough on fascism, why would he start now?
I think…and I could be wrong… that the Supreme Court has to agree with said official act.
When they’re all corrupt, they won’t agree unless you’re their sugar daddy.
He should fire them as an official act, hire new supreme court justices who on his last day in office declare presidents can no longer do whatever the hell they want and kneecap Trump from undoing shit as soon as he gets into office.
Would he do something so cool? Of course fucking not.
status quo joe is not going to do anything besides shore up the american empire's designs as best he can against trump.
Use his complete immunity to reset the courts
"Buh... buh... when they go low, we go high!"
Kidnap trump as an official act.
I’m not even really joking. This should’ve been announced and executed right after the Supreme Court decision on the immunity stuff.
He may trip and fall, in which case they'll have to squeegee him into a dustbin and pour him back into his clothes due to his complete lack of a spinal cord.
BIDEN IS RIGHT WING WHEN WILL YOU LEARN
Lies like this is why Trump won.
Sure, the bad guys won the election and screwed up the country. But for a brief moment in time, a lot of people got to feel really smug.
The Dems have no spines. They let the Republicans play them like fiddles while they insist on maintaining decorum and "good faith" politics.
I'm slowly, reluctantly, starting to seriously consider the often repeated possibility that they like things just as they are. They get to be the conservative party who masquerades as the left leaning party. R takes all the heat, D does whatever the billionaire class wants.
If I fully accept that, it's going to bring suicidal thoughts, but I'm starting to at least consider it, where previously I thought it was ridiculous tinfoil hattery.
But, after seeing Harris reward the wave of enthusiasm she first received with pivoting on her heel and running as a more polite Republican, I'm having a hard time maintaining my tinfoil hat assessment.
As an official act:
Oops the records on student loans got misplaced, all paper backups are somehow gone too. Welp, I guess they don't have loans anymore.
Do you not know how deeply entrenched Biden is in student loans? He is directly the reason they cannot be expunged in bankruptcy.
One of the few things his administration did during his Presidency was to dig up old loans (like 20 YEARS old) that have already been written off by the schools as bad debt, and SENT THEM BACK TO COLLECTIONS, which are masquerading as the Dept of Education. He made a point to spend time finding vulnerable, overeducated, underpaid young people and threw them under the bus for debt that already went through 7 years of hitting credit reports. And, again, which the schools themselves have already written off.
So yeah, he's not that guy.
Can you back this up with proof?
The pandemic "HEROES" act (extreme fucking irony) in 2022 brought all defaulted student loans to "current." And because they're Federal loans, the government can still attempt to collect. And they tack on 20+ years' interest. So for a 3k Perkins loan from 2001, they want an additional $2,750 in interest. And if you MADE PAYMENTS in the past, quelle surprise, they have no record of that.
And instead of being able to talk to the actual Dept of Education, they've placed collection agencies like ECSI as their front of house. ECSI will say, only the school can dismiss these charges. So you contact your school, the school expresses incredulity, reaches out to ECSI to tell them the debt has been written off, and then ECSI (aka DoEd) says, nuh-uh.
It's a system designed to resolve nothing while putting people over a cheese grater from loans they didn't even need from 2 decades ago.
That’s not proof. That’s just further explaining what you said. I’d like to see actual evidence of what you’re suggesting.
Well fucking look it up yourself. If you haven't clued in, I'm describing my own experience. You think I'm posting the ECSI letter and correspondence from my undergrad in the early 2000s here for you?
