Biden / Harris Focused Discussion

[Ivanstone]

Hotter take: Classic is better than both.

Hottest take: A glass of water is best. No calories!

[Egomaniac]

I personally consider that to be too sweet

And i find the aftertaste that comes with artificial sweeteners to be repulsive

That's probably why they call you "Low Energy Ivanstone"

You need those calories

Biden's pick for National Intelligence Avril Haines was involved in censoring a Senate report on CIA torture

Trump personally promised to bring back waterboarding. Your pearl-clutching is summarily dismissed.

I had an orange. And some almonds. And a Babybel Cheese.

Also a litre of coffee. Black.

I think we can call a group of assholes that accidently organized a press conference in a landscaping company "incompetent."

There was defnitely incompetence.. in spades actually. Plenty of malicious actions as well, but calling them competend would be an insult to anyone knowing their craft even at a basic level.

Wait, so Trump could have issued a mask mandate not just on federal property, but for interstate travel?

Man, it's like he was trying to run up his kill count.

Oh well, I'm glad we have a president that is actually using their authority and the DPA to actually try to combat a pandemic. It's seriously going to take a bit of time getting used to an administration that's making serious efforts rather than a fuckin circus.

So now that the Cia is keeping up with its tradition of torture with the recent appiontment, I wonder what its next ''project'' will be.

Who is Biden torturing right now? Have you heard of the concept of ‘boy who cried wolf’?

On the first day of his presidency, Joe Biden commenced the most sweeping expansion of LGBTQ rights in American history. In a historic executive order, Biden ordered every federal agency to clarify that civil rights laws prohibiting sex discrimination also prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. This move will extend nondiscrimination protections to millions of LGBTQ people with regard to housing, education, immigration, credit, health care, military service, Peace Corps service, family and medical leave, welfare, criminal justice, law enforcement, transportation, federal grants, and so much more.

While some of Biden’s executive orders may be vulnerable to court challenges, this one is essentially bulletproof. It merely implements the Supreme Court’s decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, something the Trump administration refused to do. In Bostock, the Supreme Court held that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 bars employment discrimination against LGBTQ people. Title VII does not explicitly mention sexual orientation or gender identity; rather, it bars workplace discrimination “because of sex.” But the court held that it is impossible to discriminate against LGBTQ workers without taking their sex into account.

There he goes, conservative Joe Biden, just working to expand federal protections for LGBTQ Americans and immigrants in a way that's likely going to be extremely difficult for a Republican president to reverse.

How dastardly. Truly, he is just Trump Lite.

Real though, this is good shit and he's moving fast.

Biden hasn’t enacted any torture programs or droning... while Trump has... The fact that Trump isn’t president, is as relevant as Biden not signing any drone strikes or torture you are complaining about. Complaining about drone and torture that hasn’t happened, after ignoring it for four years, exposes the reality of the situation.

[Machismo]

Dude, you're not having a good week with your prognostications.

[Felya]

Dude, you're not having a good week with your prognostications.

Good point... judging by said prognostications... the fact that Tim Pool and the Rising is complaining about it, almost guarantees that it won’t happen.

Edit: The last terrorist caught by the government, are not being tortured... they are getting “organic” meals... I don’t see QAnon Shaman getting water boarded by the Biden admin... imagining it with sadistic glee... but, I don’t see it happening.

People who supported Trump, who didn't just support torture but publicly promised to bring it back, who wanted to kill families of terrorists, do not get to feign indignation when someone Biden likes once wrote a report about bla bla bla.

Trump supporters have lost their moral authority to speak about lies, about corruption, about torture, about deficits, about any of the dozens of things Trump did, in public, on purpose. Spare us the "oh dear, or dearie me, think of the children" because you voluntarily decided your opinion carries no weight.

always thought theo's politics were closer to Anders Breivik than Donald Trump to be fair.

[Krakan]

I do so love when people pull the "Blacks should be grateful their ancestors were lucky enough to be slaves in America" card.

Grateful is a strong word. It was one of the least worst is a better.

[Elegiac]

It was one of the least worst

Lol. Citation needed.

I don't know what this means, but are you saying it was "less bad" for them to be sold into slavery?

Damn man... that’s farther than I would even take it...
