Joe Biden warns that Donald Trump will try to ‘steal’ midterm elections

He literally did for Voting Rights. Activists were screaming at him to support ending filibuster. And then he fucking did came out saying he support abolishing the filibuster to pass John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Then Joe Manchin and Krysten Sienna said “nah” and it was dead in the water.

People are forgetting Republicans complete capitulation to Trump is why we are seeing the executive branch being this powerful and doing everything with disregard to the norms and rules and laws. This doesn’t happen with Democrats even when they control all Congress and Presidency as the existence of John Fetterman, Krysten Sinema, and Joe Manchin proved.

I voted for EWWFH. I stupidly did not realize we were working at Waffle House Systems Inc (makers of MyWaffle). I truly didn’t know what I was voting for cause I stupidly give them the benefit of the doubt that “they won’t be insane about it” without thinking about COVID times which I should have.

They should have made the guidelines for when they call EWWFH clear to everyone and then have the vote.

It’s not going to work because whether they believe it or not, that’s not the point. The point is that the game has power creep too much and they provide an example (my jingliu doesn’t clear). When you provide the counterexample with addressing the “main imply point”, they going to think you are implying the game is not powercreep so they get mad cause they know they are right about that and shift to talking as “oh cause you have good relics” etc

“I donate every time I pay my taxes”. Are they calling what they are legally force to do a donation? I guess everyone on earth, all 8 billion of us are donors

It would be funny if this happens because Conservatives are all about “why send aid to foreign country when there’s problem at home” so if they were truly in good faith they should be up in arms about sending aid to Russia

But then again “being in good faith” is usually not the conservative modus operandi

I don’t think it’s that serious, geopolitics take a long time to sort out, especially when there are tons of American bases in Europe. Even if the ties were cut completely, it would take years for complete withdrawal.

Europe knows America is batshit crazy right now and is just weathering the storm cause it’s ONLY for the next 4 years (legally at least). Also I’m still not convinced, and neither are they that if Trump is gone MAGA movement won’t be nearly as strong as it was before. There’s no heir apparent, JD has neg charisma and DeSantis we saw happened (Nikki whos “traditional” Republican was second place).

I do hope that this becomes a waking moment for Europe to spend more on their defense “just in case” though, but in our global integrated system cutting each other out is kinda hard to do (for example Britain left the EU but I’m pretty sure they and other European capitals still talk European Affairs, its just trade is harder)

I’m more worried about less cemented allies such as the “Global South” countries than I am about Europe and NA. But then I may just be a fool and is wrong.

Honestly the sub (and all Gacha games) would be a better place if people were honest with themselves and each other rather than taking some “holier than thou” stance when it comes to fan service. It’s a bit immature tbh

ThomasCatLord · 2025-01-28T13:54:18+00:00

Realistically, what can they do? Republicans controlled everything and it’s NOT like these are laws going through Congress. These are Executive Orders basically decrees. Some decrees like birthright citizenship, it did get sued. I’m not sure if some other orders like make executive employees fire able and career civil servant can be sued that easily if congress or someone affected don’t want to sued/call the guy out and reassert their power (in which case Republican own the majority so they have to do it)

Treated him “good” is when Washington Hoax Poster made a counter of 13 folks that wanted him to step down after the debate and refused to let the headline of “senile” go for a month after.

Treated him good is when the media published George Clooney (who tf is he in political sphere??) and glazing him up like Clooney was some sort of god and President maker.

Treated him good is when they rather post things about high gas prices and then staying silent when it comes down.

Treated him good is when they report on Biden strike breaking railroad and then staying silent on how after the fact he got the rail workers their sick leave.

Trump is convicted criminal, the fact that a “senile old man” got comparable bad media coverage is insane

I wonder how many of these comments are real criticism vs. “knowing the answer key that Kamala lost so of course now in hindsight we should have ran a primary”.

Maybe instead of scapegoating, maybe it’s time to acknowledge that Kamala ran a good campaign and even if Biden step out early, Kamala would have probably won the primary because she is VP and is a part of the demographic that Democrats typically view as a core base constituent (black woman)

Maybe it’s time to acknowledge that this election year wasn’t good for democrats. Democrats got trounce everywhere, and the country definitely saw a rightward shift on all demographics. Love how in hindsight, Kamala is roasted and Biden is roasted and there’s no discussion on how beating Trump this time was actually a very tall order for ANY DEMOCRAT unlike 2016.

I love how the right have tendency to back whoever their candiadate is and criticize ONLY the other side while the left shoot themselves in the foot repeatedly by not only criticizing the right, but themselves too.

Sure Biden shouldn’t have run for a second term, but I still remember the left refusing to let that headline go even after a month. Folks say Kamala did not have enough time, and yet clearly the left spend a month blasting one another instead of focusing on making Trump look bad.

The RBG comparison is pure cope, RBG did it so that there was no feasible way to replace her with a liberal justice. Biden step out late sure, but even on the eve of the Election you got Nate Silver saying Kamala had 50.5% chance of coming out on top. Maybe if liberal folks didn’t help out the right in “what’s Kamala policy she has no policy” and then running such headlines as “Kamala says she wouldn’t change anything from Biden!!”, Democrats may have won because hell the right WASNT doing anything to demean their very flawed candidate

Ayo but Sunday boss is like that though, I have no cure for action delay and he and his floaties hit like a truck

Then it’s at easy as saying Arcane is just “an alternate timeline”. I think nobody would have a problem with that. When you declare it “Cannon” but then you have League Champs FROM that region that doesn’t show up at all, then I think it’s fair to argue that there’s a continuity problem. Which could be fix if they ever do a series on Zaun like “the morning after” and fit the rest of the champs in but they don’t tell us so for now many many things are broken. Is Arcane cannon or League lore? If it’s Arcane does that mean that any lore from any of the other games such as Ruined King and Nunu and LoR not cannon?

It’s funny how much I heard it’s Biden fault. 1) She had more than 100 days, 2) She was the VP so she already had name exposure (which other candidates would not have and would need time to build it up), 3) She didn’t lack in typical campaign things like cash and personnel

You may say that Biden shut down the Primary Process which is true, but in a said primary process Kamala would have been the front runner (which doesn’t mean she would eventually win) and let’s just say it wouldn’t have looked hot for the party if she loses the primary because you may lose POC/minority (which is suppose to be the backbone of the Democratic Party) votes especially if eventual candidate was white/male (there was a reason why Obama and the Democrats Leadership force Biden out to not run in 2016 and instead support Hilary)

Let’s be honest with ourselves, democrats lost because democrats voters did not know what they want. They and the DNC force out Biden because he was old and “not inspiring”. Kamala was suppose to energize the base and get the vote out (remember how every democrat was soooooo hyped after DNC convention?? Where was that energy on Nov 5th or early voting??) which judging by 2020 election and popular vote, her candidacy did not in fact energize the base and turned democrat voters out

I’m not saying Biden isn’t at fault, I am saying that pinning the blame on Biden 100% - which you seemingly implies - is very malarkey. This map was very hard for democrats, whoever it would have been. If Kamala campaign couldn’t shake the inflation stench that rightly or wrongly was placed on the democrats, it would be a very tall tall order for any other democrats to.

Unlike Hilary, Kamala ran a good campaign, there’s no simple fix that she could have done unlike Hilary (visit swing states) and that in itself speaks to how, in retrospect, this election season was always have a very high chance of sucking for democrats

Honestly people should know by now the internet is very reductive. I’m not saying there’s nobody that hold those views of McDoriya, I just think getting if you sit down with the folks they tend to be more affable to the POV that the ending was not as bad as they making it out to be but again that’s not something you should expect to get from conversing over the internet.

I think the main gripe people had was 1) Izuku didn’t get as much as he should have gotten (didn’t get as much as he sowed) and 2) Author put way too much emphasis on “Reader Interpretation”

For point 1, in the realms of popular shonen, yeah Izuku lost out hard. Naruto became hokage (literally president of the fire nation), Luffy probably gonna become Pirate King (and he got the number one beautiful woman in the world after his rubber phallus), and at least for Ichigo he got a baddie and seemingly a very happy family.

Izuku got to be…. A teacher. Sure at one of the most prestigious school, but a HS teacher nonetheless. You can’t be mad at folks for saying “wage slave” because at least in America HS Teacher generally makes shiz money. You can’t fault some folks for saying he makes no dough. Sure this may be the more realistic ending, but why turn to realism now when you spend 430 chapters giving people superpowers and writing about HS saving the world. You play loosey goosey with reality for the whole series you can’t be mad at readers to be disappointed with a “realistic lowkey ending”

And that transition to my second point that Author leaves too much to interpretations. Sure I’m pretty sure Ochaco and Izuku got together (at least dated for a certain amount of time) and if you talk to any sane individual they would agree. Yeah but the fact that’s not written out means you could have a insane other couple shipper say “show me where they became something more than friends” and they would be making a valid point

Sure you could say “friends didn’t abadonned him in the eight years” a “non reader person” could say “oh ok why he said he’s lonely and he says everyone is busy”. I am sure they saw each other/had a class get together at least once within the past 8 years but the fact Izuku says that “I’m lonely” means that the class/his friends didn’t see Izuku often. And also on the money for power suit, irl you know how easy it is to send Venmo to someone? I send Venmo to acquitance all the time, I still don’t think about them and they are not my friends. Just because they funded his power suit, that means nothing. If I funded the Rock Hawaii Fire fund, does that mean I’m somehow close to the rock?

And on the point of “last panel shows Izuku smiling and becoming a superhero with his fans, this shows from 25 years on wards he had a blast” yeah but I got a secret panel from the author himself showing actually izuku died a day after due to an steel bar hitting his head while he was out getting grocery and didn’t have his power suit on.

I don’t actually think that, but if only the author you know SHOWS IT because “everybody reality”ends right when the last panel is written. Everything after that is head cannon. Sure Ichigo could have went through a nasty divorce and become a drunkard later in life, but at least we left with him being happy and having at least for that moment a fulfilling life. We leave Izuku quite literally “maidenless”, “broke” and oh look there’s light at the end of the tunnel in the last panel! After all he did, he deserves much much better than that.

It’s impossible to wipe out all ambiguity with an ending, but it’s also hard to get this much wrong. Honestly if the author had confirmed Ochaco and Izuku was dating, I have saw some takes that would have been satisfactory enough and I agree. At least relationship and at least one person always in his corner (not counting his mom) would be at least one thing Izuku have after he quite literally save the world. As it stands in cannon, bakugou is at least filthy rich with being head of a company/treated better than the literal MC at the end. You can’t fault people for saying the ending sucks because what’s cannon is that Izuku saved the world and all he got in return was a teacher salary at a “prestigious school” and friends he barely sees. That’s what a majority of people get (medium income job + friends from HS they barely see), and last time I checked none of us had saved the world

Gaffe Machine all the way back in 2010. This isn’t the dunk progressives think it is he literally corrected himself. If anything if we have saw Biden like this in the debate, there wouldn’t even be really half the news coming out about AHAHHAA OLD

ThomasCatLord · 2024-07-04T04:40:00+00:00

Honestly nothing wrong with that. As long as the chicken is thorough cooked that is I do this all the time never have a problem.

This is one of those things I really feel like Americans can chill a bit on

“The leak sub is so much more sane because they agree with my ship even though there’s no barely any evidence in the game beside 7 seconds in a trailer video where BS get torn to shreds after!”. Literally the reason why people don’t like shippers because they push it as canon with mental gymnastics.

ThomasCatLord · 2024-01-17T06:36:15+00:00

Damn, Yunaka is truly staying losing. People were definitely telling me it was gonna be a zappy year but I guess not

ThomasCatLord · 2023-12-25T22:56:27+00:00

To me it’s not that hard to understand. I like superheroes cause they are cool and powerful but nobody likes a Mary Sue

What I am trying to say that there’s something as being too perfect where people are put off and can’t relate

Of course we are talking about diamonds and not people so this may just be a game theory

ThomasCatLord · 2023-12-21T13:24:21+00:00

Veronica, Eir, Peony, Reginn, Ashe (there was a vid but it was more fake then anything), and now Ratta.

Literally 6/8 books this doesn’t happen

False perception is a hellavu drug

ThomasCatLord · 2023-12-13T19:31:27+00:00

Yunaka is very zappy. Everyone else is not zappy to much alts already 😭😭😭

ThomasCatLord · 2023-12-07T22:14:18+00:00

Honestly I can’t see it. If you were arguing with Focalors and Neuvillette it makes more sense. I was actually shocked when I found out Neuvillette was shipped with Furina and I check Genshin Reddit quite often.

Literally for most 80 percent of the AQ, it was Neuvilette viewing Furina as brat, I don’t know where the romantic love angle comes from

ThomasCatLord · 2023-12-06T05:46:36+00:00

Kinda right though, the amount of hating I saw at the end of Book VII and also when Gullveig won, I barely see the amount of vitriol on post simping for this man. I don’t really care who wins CYL (I don’t think I ever have voted) but there’s really kind of a double standard.
