FDR was at least smart enough to buy guillotine insurance in the form of social democracy in response to unrest, Biden’s response to 2020 was “fund the police”, followed by ending the “pandemic” anti-poverty measures.

wait until after the election and not pardon Hunter if he loses it.

Why wouldn’t he pardon Hunter if he loses it?

For Trump Jr maybe.

For the others, I don’t think he’d care enough to write the pardon, let alone rule it out.

Well if they can’t convince the billionaire, maybe she can convince whoever inherits the billionaire’s ownership. If not, there’s always the next in line.

Historically this has had mixed results

I hope he pardons him during the lame duck period.

As much as I loath Biden, the one humanizing aspect of the anti-desegregation zionist is that he loves his son despite his constant failures.

Yeah no, armed dudes going around looking for women all alone to “rescue” is a massive red flag. 100% with the bears on this one.

OK, but the same is true of random dudes you meet all alone.

Does anyone in Japan have the time and money to have kids?

Don’t give up skeleton!

I know this seems like needless cruelty towards the most marginalized people in our society, but think about it this way:

If Biden accomplishes the republican agenda better than Trump, that means moderate republicans will vote Biden. And everyone on the left has to vote Biden anyway. This is why Biden has the highest approval rating ever.

It’s crazy how the president can get around congress whenever they want to, but only to do bad things.

Edit: In case anyone didn’t get the sarcasm, moderate republicans will never vote for diet-fascism when they can have the real thing, and carrying out the republican agenda just makes your base stay home, since the only argument that can be made is “Well Trump might do the same thing but worse”. This is both cruel and dumb.

Dude just train your dog not to bite.

You can apply that logic to most decisions this country makes.

Why the hell are we letting 70 year olds dictate energy policy? They’re not gonna see the full brunt of climate change.

Why are they involved in foreign policy? They’re not going off to war.

Economics? Most of the people they talk to are retired or rich. tf do they know about making rent in 2024?

Off by a factor of 1000. That’s why I’m not a nuclear engineer.

having to buy the radioactive materials from dictatorships

Not really, but also kinda. The biggest exporters of ore are Kazakhstan, Namibia, Canada, and Australia.

The only major producers that aren’t American puppets stripping themselves of resources to maintain western hegemony are Russia, Niger, China, and India, who total less than 15%.

I wouldn’t call Russia or India not-dictatorships, but I don’t see them using US weapons and training to put down a restive population and keep the resources and money flowing out like Kazakstan.

all large projects have this level of corruption and grift

Skill issue. I can’t even blame capitalism, since the french manage to get almost 90% of their power from nuclear.

China has 53 GW installed, 25 GW under construction, and another 47 GW planned. Generally they’re pretty clear-eyed when it comes to major projects like this, so I think we can infer the availability of cheap hydro and solar doesn’t favor doing more than ~15% nuclear since they’re only planning to increase it by 150% over the next couple decades.

Maybe that will change when they set up long term storage/reprocessing.

If Article 5 applies to responses from NATO countries bombing foreign soil, then any NATO country could bomb anyone they wanted, and if they fight back, expect the entirety of NATO to attack that country.

Which is how the US operates, but I doubt the rest of NATO wants to back Victor Orban if he decides to relive the heady days of 1940 and bomb Serbia or Erdowan feels like recreating the Ottoman Empire.

He also conflated a white person being called the n-word with antisemitic hate speech, you’re dealing with a deeply unserious person over there.

It’s been increasing what with the guys who say “We speak for all jews” bombing a populace of mostly children.

Which in itself is wildly antisemtic, like zionists are doing two different antisemetic tropes at once with that one, duel loyalty and blood libel, and saying that their actions are representative of all jews.

But that’s been Israel’s strategy for ages, hence why they work with antisemites like Victor Orban to ensure that there is no safe place for diaspora jews.

But also zionists love to conflate anti-zionism with antisemitism so it’s hard to tell how frequent incidents like OP are happening and how frequently non-violent anti-zionist protests are getting called antisemetic violence.

Condemns? No they give a shit what says in public, as long as they’re receiving the weapons and money they need to carry on.

Police vs brownshirts, whoever loses, we win.
