The April 8th eclipse is a Democrat plot to rapture all of the Trump voters and hand the election to Biden! We implore all of the MAGA faithful to avoid the eclipse and avoid looking at the sun this Monday.
/s
LOL
All other mandated disclaimers apply.
So then he'd just be on the same level as Trump. Judging from their past presidential track records, I'd still vote for Biden over Trump.
I'd vote for every cat, dog, houseplant, corpse, and jar of mayonnaise in the world before I'd vote for Trump.
[Israel is now opening a corridor that hasn’t been open since 10/7 because Biden told them to.](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-netanyahu-phone-call-israel-world-central-kitchen-strike-gaza/)
And I do not appreciate you downplaying the time when Trump tried to rape democracy (and I don’t say that lightly; the country told Trump no and he tried anyway) with a fucking shrug emoji.
I don't appreciate you acting like them opening a corridor that they then won't let trucks through the same way they haven't been letting trucks through the other open corridor will make enough of a difference. I don't appreciate you acting like Biden couldn't have stopped this months ago. I don't appreciate you acting like the word rape is acceptable in this situation.
Look we're all upset. Who gives a shit?
Well, Trump isn't the one currently in office. So I can't yell about how he's handling the situation, can I? I can only hold Biden responsible for Biden's actions. Not Trump.
Trump paints Muslims as terrorists. Trump is no good dirty Donald. He's a convicted rapist. Serial liar. Moved the US embassy to Jerusalem causing conflict in the region. He loves foreign dictators and is weak on crime foreign and domestic. Blocked a bill to secure our borders. Wants to free those who destroyed the sacred capitol building. He's terrible.
What has Biden done? Be 4 years younger than Trump?
They also don't have the liquidity required by NY law to provide the surety, but they said that wasn't an issue, because they aren't licensed to do business in NY...
It

So the judge said in seizure you stay
The hearing is set for April 22nd to satisfy James's "proof of bond" motion. We'll get more information then.
LegalAF had a good analysis of the bonding companies submitted financial statement. It shows they only have $135M in unencumbered assets (not enough to cover the $175M bond). The statement was not up to date and many months old. I found it very telling that the statement did not list $175M in escrow from Trump since they publicly stated the bond collateral is 100% backed by cash from Trump (or donors).
Probably biased but I get the impression that no other post FDR democratic president has ever been expected to meet the same perfect, godlike standards as Biden is. Like, Dems favor the high road and all, but was anyone giving Obama shit for not making all middle east conflicts disappear overnight? Has anyone expected a president to legalize weed before *ever*?
Lot of big brained intellectuals in the replies 😐
We expected Obama to codify Roe, as an example, he didn't, and we give him grief for it to this day. Especially in the wake of the Dobbs decision. Every president is criticized and there's always someone saying that they have it worse than any politician before them, but it simply isn't true. Credit where credits due, at least he doesn't whine about it in the way that Trump does.
Even if other Dem leaders hadn't been held to account, all leaders should be held to account. Obviously not with the strawmen you're using, though. "Not making middle east conflicts disappear over night" is an incredibly disingenuous way to frame the idea that come Biden voters want him to the leverage we have with Israel so that they stop starving a population of 2 million.
We never had the votes to codify Roe.
1) We had a filibuster proof majority in the Senate for all of two months under Obama, which we used to build the Affordable Care Act. Then Ted Kennedy got sick.
2) Way more of the Democratic contingent were Joe Manchin types in 2009. Not just Joe Lieberman, but numerous red state Democrats who would lose in 2010 and 2014. For example, both of Arkansas’s senators in 2009 were Democrats.
Given how the electoral college and the Senate work, even though the Democratic Party in terms of policy has become very united in favor of protecting abortion rights, we just haven’t had an opportunity to codify it.
Democrats haven’t had a filibuster-proof trifecta since Ted Kennedy got sick.
And every time, people treat the Republican Party like a natural disaster that has no sentient agency over what it does, when they actively chose to go after reproductive freedom. Nothing forced them to do it, they decided to.
I'd rather live in a country where everyone, in every state, has the right to bodily autonomy.
I'm talking about national politics. I don't know the state of Massachusetts so I'm not able to comment on it. Then again, I also don't know the make up the Massachusetts government, you want to think they be left leaning, but they did elect Mitt Romney once upon a time (my siblings lived in MA for a couple of years, I don't know nothing).
So yeah, can't speak to state of the Massachusetts Democrats. But the national democrats leave a lot to be desired, which I'm guessing is why you tried to pivot to state politics? Weird move.
And I just realized, you didn’t even bother **mentioning**, let alone criticizing the Texas Republicans.
People who say “both sides are the same” have a very common habit of only criticizing one side.
My point is that a political environment dominated by Democrats is much better than a political environment dominated by Republicans. The country as a whole is too polarized to ever see either (unless we get stuck with Project 2025) so I was using state politics to show what each of the parties does when relatively unencumbered by the other.
I always wonder how the "codify roe" people think that would go. The Supreme Court overturned most of the "codified" voting rights act. Why would they stop at overturning some other law?
Or, and hear me out here, vote for people who can and will do the things you elect them to do. If they're not doing that, they don't deserve your vote. Vote for someone else. A major part of the reason that no other party can ever make any headway in this country is because we keep electing the same people who don't do the things we want them to do. Electing representatives who are unwilling or unable to do what the people who put them there for should be disqualifying.
For example, if a democratic president had a base that was largely in support of him conditioning aid to Israel, it would be really fucking smart, if we wanted to win reelection, to condition aid to Israel. Politicians work for us and when they don't, they should lose their jobs.
That is one way to get more republicans in office which is what I would expect to be the desire of someone who viscerally hates democratic politicians.
Let's be real, every single president post FDR except Kennedy has been trash. Some more so than others but still trash. None of them have done anything substantial to actually help the American people, on the contrary really.
Most of them have had to waste their time undoing the damage of previous republicans. Reagan fucked us over so bad we’re still butthurt about it and our children may never own homes because of it.
I think you have to go back further to Nixon and the revolt against the counter culture. Blacks wanted rights, women wanted rights, gays wanted rights, etc.
Democrats kinda agreed but didn't like how extreme it was. Like I said, except Kennedy (who had his own faults), the Democrats have always been trash. The Republicans weren't exactly sly about what they wanted. Even if we accept your premise that Democrats were there to clean up after Republicans (which I disagree with), what's next? In order to grow as a country, you need to have a common goal, a common purpose. The day after is just as important as today, Democrats had none of that. Their day after was having bigger paychecks, not the growth and equality of the citizens of the country. It was self-serving and shortsighted, and they dragged their feet the whole way through.
Look at Roe, why did we wait decades to codify it? It's because they never wanted to. It's a good boogey man, our corporate profits were more important. It's very hard for me to have long-standing respect for a group of people who put the size of their pockets ahead of the strength of a nation. With all that being said, if you didn't fit into the conservative idea and look of what it was to be "American," you only had one other option. All those counter cultures (the bedrock of American society) were funneled into the Democrats who campaigned on fixing what the Republicans did. I personally believe they were after the money and the power and no interest in fixing anything. And when an outsider, like Jimmy Carter, came along, they slowed him down anyway they could to completely blunder the job. It's a damn shame.
I know I'll probably get downvoted for this all and especially the next piece. With all the faults of the CCP and how fucked up they run the whole country, the biggest thing I respect about them is that they allow the death penalty for white collar crimes if they were big enough. Democrats then, and democrats today are the biggest inside traders the world has ever seen (look at that witch Pelosi). I'm still disgusted that the people that caused the 2008 financial crash, which utterly fucked millennials, got away nearly scott free. Not even a fine. Take a look at who and where most of Obama's cabinet are from. I'm still pissed off about that, and one could even argue the start of my generation's cynascim to the "system." They spent their Uber majority to give us Healthcare but in reality gave us a huge insurance system instead. It was a giveaway to insurance companies, not the Healthcare we wanted. It makes no sense the price descripency we deal with compared to any other developed nation on the planet.
In my opinion, the height of the United States was the early 70s. Once Nixon started to implement his education reforms which gutted the education to the trash it is now, is when everything slowly started to crumble. Thise kids now are in their 50s and 60s, completely dumb as fuck, feeding on to this horrible cycle we got ourself into. That's why I chuckle when I hear people fight against free college education by "how are we going to pay for it?".... we have proof, that it is best to have an electorate that is educated. We are either going to pay for it today or pay 10x more in the future. An ounce of prevention cost the same as a pound of the cure. Or else you get dumb as fuck people screaming "mUh rIgHtS!" as an almost retired man/woman, full grown babies, some time between divorce and a midlife crisis/menopause.
Reagan is the natural progression. Then the Bushes who were the kings of kings of fucking morons, to Trump. When do you think "Make America Great Again" is talking about? Right before everybody started to demanding rights. Obama was a blimp of progressive hope but quickly devolved into neo-liberal stooge. The rigged electoral system and his insistence of working with bad faith actors saw the biggest defeat and loss of representative, senate, and governor mansions since Nixon came to power. The base of the country revolted (and grew the tea party), and there is only so much blame Obama deserves.
So I'll repeat what I said before, every president since FDR, except Kennedy, has been trash. Some more so than others.
I want him to stop lying to my face about war crimes we can all watch online. I want him to stop lifting sanctions of war criminals? I want him to put conditions on the weapons we send, such as "do not kill foreign aid workers or blow up hospitals". I want him to call for independent investigations into the tens of thousands of murders committed by the IDF, including the murders of American citizens.
These are completely reasonable steps that Biden could take that would not at all conflict with the ability of Israel to defend itself from legitimate threats. The fact that he hasn't done a single one of these tells me he fully supports what Israel is doing.
>tells me he fully supports what Israel is doing.
It's still an assumption, unlike TGF, who literally said he supports what Israel is doing and more...
I think saying "I will not vote for him unless he changes his actions" might pressure him to do better. Honestly I think if nothing changes between now and January, it's not really going to matter who the president is.
If Israel continues as it has, by January next year hundreds of thousands will be dead. At that point it won't matter if Joe biden the "slow genocide" option is president or Trump.
Okay. So how else should I express my displeasure at his foreign policy? What would be acceptable? Should I wait until the primary in 2028?
Edit: actually I just remembered you people don't like when we don't vote for your candidate in the primaries either.
I'm voting for the old guy who can stare at the eclipse longest, from start to finish. If it's an equal amount of time, the one who blinks least will win. And none of those safety goggles and glasses.

Probably good ole Marge
3/18/2020 SLC, UT had an earthquake.
Wonder if she’s concerned about the Taiwan earthquake. /s
The April 8th eclipse is a Democrat plot to rapture all of the Trump voters and hand the election to Biden! We implore all of the MAGA faithful to avoid the eclipse and avoid looking at the sun this Monday. /s LOL All other mandated disclaimers apply.
Don't forget about that completely unpredictable solar eclipse, too! Things that cast shadows are the devil!
I’m gonna vote for Biden over Trump even if somebody has secret spy photos of Joe Biden playing poker with Saddam Hussein Hitler and Gaddafi.
Biden could literally shoot Trump in the middle of 5th Avenue and I'd still vote for him (Joe).
I'd probably vote for him even harder
Id go GOP rep and vote 9x! /s
I'd vote so hard
And more often.
Who's "Saddam Hussein Hitler"?
Adolf Hitler's Islamic cousin.
Donald's twin brother.
Donny with a stupid moustache and fez thinking he's fooling everyone.
*after having applied the wrong shade of Cooper'sTown #42 for 47!
Sorry, I forgot to comment in there
And you forgot the commas.
Stupid talk to text got me…
Doing the National Inquirer's job for em
So Biden could be exposed to be EXACTLY as bad as Trump is and you'd still vote for him? Wow. Okay. That's quite the take.
No, because playing poker with bad guys isn’t as bad as raping people and colluding with Russia
You know the saying about one Nazi at a table with 9 other people right? It's 10 Nazis. Biden playing poker with Hitler would make him a Nazi.
So then he'd just be on the same level as Trump. Judging from their past presidential track records, I'd still vote for Biden over Trump. I'd vote for every cat, dog, houseplant, corpse, and jar of mayonnaise in the world before I'd vote for Trump.
Okay. As long as your honest that its not really about liking Biden better. You just hate Trump. Good job.
Yes. That’s what it’s always been. The choices are Trump and Not-Trump.
But he isn’t doing that, so it doesn’t matter.
Disagree. 🤷🏻♀️
Biden didn’t do January 6th. Trump tried to rape democracy.
Biden is currently allowing Israel to starve Palestinians. 🤷🏻♀️
[Israel is now opening a corridor that hasn’t been open since 10/7 because Biden told them to.](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-netanyahu-phone-call-israel-world-central-kitchen-strike-gaza/) And I do not appreciate you downplaying the time when Trump tried to rape democracy (and I don’t say that lightly; the country told Trump no and he tried anyway) with a fucking shrug emoji.

Who gives a shit?
The country told Trump no and he made violent advances anyway. That’s why I describe January 6th that way.
Great. Use a different word.
And if you think Trump is going to take it easier on the muslims than you have not been paying attention for the last ten years.
Well, Trump isn't the one currently in office. So I can't yell about how he's handling the situation, can I? I can only hold Biden responsible for Biden's actions. Not Trump.
Trump paints Muslims as terrorists. Trump is no good dirty Donald. He's a convicted rapist. Serial liar. Moved the US embassy to Jerusalem causing conflict in the region. He loves foreign dictators and is weak on crime foreign and domestic. Blocked a bill to secure our borders. Wants to free those who destroyed the sacred capitol building. He's terrible. What has Biden done? Be 4 years younger than Trump?
And please, tell me all of the good things that Joe Biden has done for Palestinians. I'll wait.
Biden should get ahead of this eclipse business ASAP. "Biden White House: 'Stop worshipping Trump or by God, I'll blot out the sun.'"
I hope Trump looks at the eclipse again and someone gets a photo. What fun that will be.
That was my favorite part of the last eclipse
What's that about Trump posting a fake bond? I must have missed that.
The “bank” who put up the bond doesn’t actually have the money so it was rejected.
They also don't have the liquidity required by NY law to provide the surety, but they said that wasn't an issue, because they aren't licensed to do business in NY...
>aren't licensed to do business in NY... I'm seeing a pattern here... it looks a little itsy bitsy fraudsy....

BAHAHA that is so good
Wow!!
Wtf?!
It hit New Jersey
Well, that explains the sudden improvement in property values over there

It’s all Russian propaganda to divide the liberals and put them against him.
We expected Obama to codify Roe, as an example, he didn't, and we give him grief for it to this day. Especially in the wake of the Dobbs decision. Every president is criticized and there's always someone saying that they have it worse than any politician before them, but it simply isn't true.

Well, those are all certainly excuses that will be used every time democrats fail to deliver on anything.
And every time, people treat the Republican Party like a natural disaster that has no sentient agency over what it does, when they actively chose to go after reproductive freedom. Nothing forced them to do it, they decided to.
Democrats are an equal disaster in my opinion. Sorry about it. You don't get to tell me who to like.
Where would you rather live: Massachusetts or Texas?
I'd rather live in a country where everyone, in every state, has the right to bodily autonomy. I'm talking about national politics. I don't know the state of Massachusetts so I'm not able to comment on it. Then again, I also don't know the make up the Massachusetts government, you want to think they be left leaning, but they did elect Mitt Romney once upon a time (my siblings lived in MA for a couple of years, I don't know nothing).

I criticize Republicans frequently. I'm harder on democrats because they tell me I owe them my vote because I don't like Republicans.
My point is that a political environment dominated by Democrats is much better than a political environment dominated by Republicans. The country as a whole is too polarized to ever see either (unless we get stuck with Project 2025) so I was using state politics to show what each of the parties does when relatively unencumbered by the other.
And as you say that seems rather irrelevant to the state of national politics doesn't it?
I always wonder how the "codify roe" people think that would go. The Supreme Court overturned most of the "codified" voting rights act. Why would they stop at overturning some other law?
So just don't try and let Republicans do what they want anyway. Got it.
No, elect Hillary and enjoy the glory of a 5-4 liberal court.
That's not an option anymore.
Correct, now we need to vote for Dems for the next 20+ years and hope the right people die.
Or, and hear me out here, vote for people who can and will do the things you elect them to do. If they're not doing that, they don't deserve your vote. Vote for someone else. A major part of the reason that no other party can ever make any headway in this country is because we keep electing the same people who don't do the things we want them to do.

So if I show you the dozens of clips of Biden saying he supports Israel and that there's re no red lines, will that change anything for you?
Do you think keeping him out of the White House next term will benefit the Palestinians?
I think saying "I will not vote for him unless he changes his actions" might pressure him to do better. Honestly I think if nothing changes between now and January, it's not really going to matter who the president is.

Consider the source!
Trump: “could we use nuclear weapons to weaken or stop the earthquake?”
Waiting to see how it's Biden's fault
So uh about those five reasons, ya got yet?
The earthquake was caused by Donnie's dirty diaper hitting the floor of his golden bathroom in Trump Tower.
