So do you think Biden was talking about funding only the good cops that evict working families for missing rent or the bad cops who shoot minorities?

“We should all agree the answer is not to defund the police is to fund the police,” he said. “Fund them. Fund them. Fund them with resources and training. Resources and training, they need to protect their community. I ask Democrats and Republicans alike to pass my budget and keep our neighborhoods safe.”

And then it was bipartisan applause from the Neo-Nazi Party known as Republicans and Democrats. https://youtu.be/IsiNDuPAfJg

To a nation currently protesting police brutality, he said shut up and keep increasing the funding of the the militarized police who are killing people via extrajudicial means.

The same party that didn’t arrest Trump even when it was an open and shut case of treason?

The same party that kept ICE funded?

The same one that called out Dubya’s surveillance program after they voted for it, and then tried to arrest Snowden?

The same party that allows border cages for ICE?

The same party that loudly said “we don’t need to defund the police, we need to fund the police!” in a state of the union adresss to bipartisan applause?

I’ll hope that the midterms and next nominee change these lack of action polices, but it seems like the suspected frontrunners are going to aim for the status quo of 2020, not pushing for a better 2028.

The last dude ran on not being Trump, but gave him a faster car after he crashed the last one with his drinking buddies.

Instead of pushing for harder limits to stop him, he just acted like his hands were tied, he had to fund the Neo-Nazi Police Department, he had to build more of the border wall that Trump wanted, he had to keep Trump’s tax cuts for the rich to afford more propaganda.

Weird how we were considered crazy for pointing at things documented by the media, they then swore the media put a hit on Biden (by telling the truth instead of lying).

Then once it happened, people said they always thought he was senile. They always knew, they just wanted to wait and see.

Just pure coincidence that the same people who said we were buying into propaganda then also bought into the propaganda of their own influencers and billionaires.

• It’s not my fault I told protestors to shut up!
• It’s not my fault I took weeks to get a platform onto my website!
• It’s not my fault I didn’t want to distance from an unpopular president!
• It’s not my fault that people told me that courting Republicans alienates our Democratic voter base, and Republicans would never vote for a Democrat, let alone a brown woman!

I was the chosen candidate by the DNC, I know what the public wants! And it’s not my fault I didn’t like what internal polling told me!

They literally tried to blame all Latino voters for Trump, and threw trans people under the bus when running. So as far as the runners of the candidate is considers, they don’t need to support them. Like Trump.

Smear campaigns are when you document someone having a Nazi tatoo for 20 years and never questioning it.

Brown and trans people like last time. And then also admit they were cheated but still blame the average citizen, while refusing to push for a certification.

She didn’t even poll well in her home state of California last time she tried to win, she won’t poll well. Remember how she clapped back at Biden’s racist polices and said it personally affected her as a child?

Remember how said she it was a debate and was willing to look the other way when he picked her as VP?

Amazing how they refuse to blame the people with more data, money, and people instead of the people who are in states that didn’t matter (solid blue or solid red).

I voted for Harris in California. I didn’t like it and it didn’t impact much, but I did. She still lost because she didn’t make herself different enough from Biden, who had low polling rates, plus courted Republicans who got us into this mess.

If this was in a novel you’d call it too on the nose for it’s heavy handed metaphor.

Jesus fucking Christ.

Noo! The democrats were entitled to your vote! Vote blue no matter who they wanna deport and remove!

Well if he waits maybe he’ll get a sale on a cool new gun.

The real answer is that DF expects it to be solved without their help.

Yes. That’s the entire point of MAGA.

Someday the money from the tariffs will trickle down to the common American. Just like the tax cuts for the rich from the 1980s.

I don’t think Republicans are able to process any conherant thought since 2016. If they suddenly don’t have their Social Security payments, Trump will point at someone else and they’ll just drool and nod along with what their cult leader said.

Plus how many rural dipshits were hurt by Trump in his first term and went for him again? How many are hurt by his even more expensive erosion of things and still think “This will be worth it, I just know the libs are more hurt by this.”

The sad thing is, most of us (Americans on Lemmy/Piefed) are probably not going to see why we need social security.

It’s basically a government ran pension plan if you can’t work. Most of us can work and are. So we don’t see why we invented it during the great depression to aid in a social safety net when shit goes south.

And Trump is most likely going to continue plummeting shit into an economy as bad as the Great Depression. Some already had the question of “Do I eat today or do I save up to pay for rent this month?” And Trump isn’t the person to solve it, only make it worse.

Most of us probably don’t claim the funds from it, and go “Oh this is just for the elderly, not for me. I’m 20 to 30 something and able bodied, this is for when I’m 60 something and walking with a cane.”

When Trump guts it and if we have any resemblance of the federal government when we need Social Security, this will probably have lasting effects when we need to claim our benefits.

And the even sadder part, all of his voting base will just nod along. “The gubberment took money from muh paycheck, says so here in muh paystub, fucking woke commie Democrats. Da woke took muh $100 a month, I had to spend that on Trump hats!”

The rule of headlines is that if it asks a question in the title, the answer is assumed to be no.

No, it won’t.
