Boomers have overstayed their welcome. The spoiled generation took the greatest wealth ever seen, became spoiled by it, sqandered it, and left X, Millennials, Zoomers, and Alpha holding the bag (climate change, broken empire, insurmountable debt, political instability, unstable social safety net, etc.). They will not be missed.
worse than Biden
The guy is a fucking pedophile yet “worse than Biden” is needed to convince people
Talking about having priorities
“Biden is old.”
“Hey, let’s go with a guy that’s equally old, but also a lifelong asshole, felon, rapist, and pedophile with 2 impeachments and a failed presidency already under his belt.”
“Sounds great to me.”
I’m betting it’s not just pedophilia.
I’m waiting for the documents that show he’s sent hits on victims and threatened their family.
And still no section 25.
Still no impeachment.
And still the MAGA mind churns.
The only actual thing I’m mad at Biden for is not putting this monster in prison when able.
Merrick Garland sure is fucking quiet now.
FUCK JOE BIDEN!!!
This motherfucker had ALL OF THESE EPSTEIN FILES and did NOTHING with them. NOTHING!!!
He did absolutely nothing to punish the wealthy/powerful behind January 6th, he did nothing with the pedophile ring and just peaced out and gave the keys to fucking Nazis.
He will forever be remembered as a complete failure. His legacy is Trump and letting our democracy get destroyed without any pushback.
51% says Trump is doing a worse job than Biden? WTF is wrong with the other 49%!?
Biden wasn’t great, but surely anything that’s not bringing the US to the brink of dictatorship and civil war is better than anything that is?
WTF is wrong with the other 49%!?
Poor media-literacy and social media.
Biden is still the best president we’ve had since Obama
Well… you’re not wrong, but also its a super low bar lol
I’ve got plenty of criticism of Obama too, but he’s easily the best US president of the 21st century, and it’s not even close. And although nowhere near as good, Biden is still easily #2, because at least he didn’t start two trillion dollar wars for nothing. And although he’s pretty bad, Bush is still easily #3, because for all his many, many faults, at least he didn’t usher in a full-blown fascist dictatorship driven by narcissism and stupidity.
There’s no easier century to rank presidents.
What sad, is both Obama and Biden were handed entirely fucked up US Economies from the previous Repugnantcans: bush from the deregulation crash of Wall Street and Biden because everything the orange Nazi touches turns to shit.
Being the best president of the 21st century is also an incredibly low bar. Two of the five are child molesters!
I think Biden is the best President I’ve seen since George HW Bush. (Bush I, 88-92).
Yeah, at least he reacted to a financial crisis by giving money to people instead of corporations. Not enough money, but it was still going to mostly the right places. When the banks gambled with our money and caused a financial crisis Obama could’ve done the same thing and allocated housing money to people, which would “trickle up” to the banks. Instead he bailed them out with no strings attached so they could continue fucking everyone over.
A lot of the time, poll results are based on how the poll is asked. If the questionaire was like: 1 trump worse than biden
2 external factor affected the situation
3 i like cheese
You can see how this is going to affect the final result. There’s a whole science behind how to get the desired result from a poll without just faking the attendees
Or - now just hear me out here - it is possible - just possible - that there are people opposed to raping children and ruining the entire country…
Yeah but somewhat Biden was running child/organs/other trafficking and/or was a commie who wanted to destroy the US, and/or a satanist and a nazi.
And probably more things but I’m a bit lost in all the batshit crazy conspi cloud. Anyway: Newsmax, and probably Fox still, won’t say Biden was better. And the other media are lying.
he did all that while also somehow sleeping all the time
Right? Trump would NEVER!
He’s still polling pretty well for a notorious child rapist and trafficker, and potentially worse.
Polls lie. Make sure you vote.
We should be voting with guillotines. We should be giving “hanging chads” new meaning.
The media is fully captured by the rightist ruling class, capturing the soap box and ballot box. They have packed the courts with traitorous loyalists, depriving us of the jury box. Only one box is left.
He is worse than Buchanan or Johnson. He’s on par with Jefferson Davis, Mussolini, Kim Jong Un, and Vladimir Putin.
He should sue all the Americans for damages.
Could have swore that was going to say “worse than Hitler”.
Imagine USA gets a system where people vote for what they want, not merely against who they don’t want.
I don’t remember Hitler shitting his pants during a press conference. Actually he seemed constipated most of the time.
And I don’t think there were allegations of him being member of a pedophile ring.
I hate comparing Trump with Hitler, it almost seems a praise to the Austrian.
And I don’t think there were allegations of him being member of a pedophile ring.
I don’t really see a point in that comparison - These two people are evil on its own, there is no point in playing games on who is less evil in this regard. Also it is misinformation to be saying trump is worse than him, as you’re forgetting about the genocide that he did - trump isn’t yet at that point.
It is also important to bring in the fact that trump wasnt just a pedo, but a sex offender. Him being both doesn’t make him worse than hitler.
I’m just joking, don’t take this as any form of support for either. That’s what my last point was about more or less, but my wording was not great
Say what you want, but at least Hitler wasn’t a pedo, and the dude had some charisma while giving speeches.
He didn’t rant on about sharks and batteries?
deleted by creator
Apparently many US voters admire Hitler.
Fuck me, the overton window really is far right
He wasn’t slammed in the latest poll? Just wrecked?.. fine ok
Is slammed worse than wrecked? Where is burned in this equation?
Wake me up when he is completely slobberknockered.
I’m stupid, can someone help me understand how we calculate the 18 point swing?
Just after Trump was inaugurated last February, the result was 58 percent saying Trump was doing a better job than Biden
But in the new poll, 51 percent said Trump is doing a worse job than President Biden did — a net swing of 18 points
2025 poll 58% say Trump > Biden
2026 poll 49% say Trump > Biden (aka 100 - 51)
58-49 = 9 point swing?
What you’re missing is that this is two opposing viewpoints in a zero-sum game. You’re in one bucket or the other.
So going from 58 to 49 means that Trump looks 9 points worse, but also that Biden looks 9 points better. That’s an 18-point swing.
I see! Thank you
Always good to see you can judge if someone is killing it at work right after he started. Why do companies need these probation periods??
Under no other president did I fear for the lives of so many Americans.
At work, we used to talk about dumb shit. Who brought M&Ms or cupcakes. How some random movie ended.
Now, some of my coworkers are terrified. We had a incident where some masked goons rushed up on a random woman and when we all came out, they ran away.
Our manager openly said, “None of them are allowed in the building.” And during the worse of it, my manager brought a shotgun.
Average office workers are arming themselves.
This is what this orange motherfucker did.
I’m amazed more people aren’t standing their ground (opening fire) when masked goons jump out of an unmarked car and try to kidnap someone. So much for all that second amendment peacocking eh
Because they’re not out in force in places where a high percentage of people carry.
When they raided Chicago ICE specifically stayed away from the really bad parts because they didn’t wanna get shot.
Exactly. This is also why they have targeted schools, daycares, and other spaces they know they’re less likely to encounter strong resistance.
Also exactly why they don’t go to red states with lax gun laws, among other reasons.
This is the correct answer. They’re hitting blue cities where it’s mainly left leaning people who are anti-gun. Why hit a 2a strong hold if you’re probably going to meet force. They’ll kill for the paycheck, but they don’t want to die for it.
Plus most people have no combat training. I can handle aggressive drivers no problem. If masked thugs rush me with drawn weapons, I will very effectively shit myself at best, run hard at worst
People just don’t want to be involved, and I’m not going to judge them for that.
As in, I have a wife and 2 young kids. My purpose in life is to care for and support them. If I’m at work or whatever and some goons show up to abduct someone I don’t know, I’m not going to start blasting and go down in a blaze of glory because of an ideological position.
I have a very small family, including people who are in very vulnerable groups that MAGA hates. Right now, I have to mind my manners, because they rely on me. But if ANYTHING were to happen to those people, I would have nothing left to lose, and I would become very dangerous indeed.
And I’m not going down in a blaze of glory either. Revenge is a dish best served cold, and I would be far more calculated and surgical.
If you or your wife/kids were being abducted and sent to the camps, would you be happy knowing everyone else stood by not wanting to get involved?
I get being scared, but inaction is destroying countless families. If everyone stands together, the risk factor goes down.
The comment i replied to is advocating shooting at ICE goons.
Have you shot any of them recently?
Put your dick away mate.
Actually I wasn’t advocating for shit. I was merely observing that this is the literal scenario you guys stated you needed your emotional support weapons for, and how I’m surprised no one is using them.
Makes sense that they’re targeting less gun-prone areas, but still, there’s gotta be some percentage of carry-ers outside of NY no?
I agree with (Edit:
the commenter)Aussie though; I’ll post the full quote here so maybe even one more person sees it and internalizes it. Link to the Holocaust EncyclopediaFirst they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. —Martin NiemöllerSure ok, but my explanation as to why people aren’t shooting at ICE agents remains the same.
The “they came for” quote is emotive, but a great many people are indeed “speaking out”, and taking action in non-violent ways.
Quite obviously, people aren’t shooting at ICE because they don’t want to get shot.
The truth is there would be more incidents of people fighting back if all the people here actually stood by what they say.
Notice how there isn’t. Talk is cheap and this place proves it.
The truth is- youre exactly right. People don’t stupidly sacrifice themselves knowing there is no popular pushback. And at this moment there is not that popular notion that things need to be overturned.
I’m not going to start blasting and go down in a blaze of glory because of an ideological position.
And if you don’t resist, they’ll kill you anyway. Now what?
Not necessarily. There’s loads of ways to resist without getting myself shot.
An ideological position like democracy, freedom and liberty? This is why the US is where it is. Those things don’t come from nothing. They come from people willing to fight for them.
Anyone talking about action against ICE agents has lost the plot. ICE is the symptom, not the disease. You don’t treat tuberculosis by targeting the coughing with Robitussin. You treat tuberculosis by targeting the bacteria with antibiotics. Address the cause of the problem, not the effect.
The person you need to be registering your complaint with is your local oligarch. Any action you want to take toward ICE, redirect it to the richest person within driving distance.
The second amendment people are absolutely on the side of Trump. They are more likely to shoot people who try to stop ICE than anything else.
We have more guns in the US than every single US citizen and we have lost more lives to gun violence than every war we have ever fought combined.
Guns don’t solve our problems. It truly takes an idiot to believe they do.
JFC
Under no other president did I fear for the lives of so many Americans.
I mean, were you around during the Cuban missile crisis?
Trump’s a total piece of shit, but I do think there’s some serious recency bias.
The Drug War under Reagan, the War on Terror under Bush, numerous tense years during the height of the Cold War - Stalin getting the H-bomb, Egypt closing the Suez, MacArthur getting forced out of North Korea, the Tet Offensive and subsequent protests, epidemics from AIDS to Polio…
Things have been bad in the US on and off for a while.
I’d be willing to bet quite a lot of money, maybe my mortgage, that the majority of Lemmy users, in fact, weren’t around during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
They made an observation of their own experiences, that’s not a statement anyone can disagree with.
They made an observation of their own experiences
Gotta develop a more historical outlook or you’re doomed to repeat historical mistakes.
Biden wasn’t in the Epstein files.
Biden wasn’t a traitor. He also didn’t bankrupt a casino
Biden had all kinds of programs that looked out for US citizens and built up our healthcare and education.
biden also had all kinds of programs that specifically helped rural people who voted for trump. the chips act brought battery factories (now cancelled thanks to tariffs) AND his infrastructure bill that is bringing high speed internet to rural country right now.
Fucking sleepy Joe put Trump in the erosten files. What a monster.
Biden also didn’t diddle his own kids.
Or cheat on every single wife he had.
To run a successful casino, you need to make your customers feel like they’re winning and you’re losing. Trump is incapable of that.
Aybody defending another country more than their own is a traitor
Waaaaiiiit. Mr. Burns did those things too!
Nah but Biden also didn’t make sure to choose an AG to actually put the motherfuckers in the Epstein files behind bars, either. It’s not like the Epstein information magically appeared when Trump became President, he literally ran in 2024 on the fact that Democrats hadn’t released the files. This information was available when Biden was President. Epstein was (very likely) murdered while Trump was President the first time.
So, fuck Biden anyway, he was focusing on all this “decorum” shit when it comes to a fucking network of pedophiles and rampant corruption and oops didn’t want to make it “lOoK PoLiTiCaL” to go after criminality. Now the same people they didn’t want to look political prosecuting don’t give one single fuck about looking political in prosecuting their perceived enemies.
Fuck, Biden was literally handed a free pass when the Supreme Court ruled that when a President does it, it’s not a illegal. He could have done any number of things to prevent this with the backing of a Supreme Court decision that was tailored to support Trump but technically applied to any President.
Democrats may not be in the files, but they sat on their fucking asses writing strongly worded letters and throwing up their hands going “but it’s too hard to make sure they go down! Gears of justice turn slowly, so slowly that Trump can be voted back into office even with all this hanging over him!”
It’s a crock of shit, Democrats are culpable for not taking this fight to the mat and instead being wishy washy limp dicks who handed over the reigns of the government to corruption twice in a row.
Yeeeepppp the controlled opposition party made sure to protect their billionaires
controlled
oppositionparty made sure to protect their billionairesThe actions of the Democratic party don’t even warrant the term. Look at Schumers and Jefferies response to the literal kidnapping of a sovereign head of state. They were basically mad Trump didn’t do the right paper work, but fully supported the action.
Biden didn’t shit himself during a press conference.
There were at least two “Biden pooped themselves” incidents. One was the DDay memorial. The second was an audience with the pope.
I honestly don’t even care if our president accidentally shits themselves. I mean, it happens.
What I do care about is if our president has such a fragile ego that they’ll lie and punish other people because they shit their pants. The kind of person who will accuse everyone else of shitting their pants, but only because that person’s own pants are constantly weighed down by dookies. The kind of person who can’t forgive themselves for a little brown downtown, so they steal and extort an entire country, just so that they can extort other countries and become friends with other people who love lying about their bowel movements.
I honestly don’t even care if our president accidentally shits themselves.
And the problem with that, is that other people do. And if you don’t pick a candidate that is acceptable to a broad enough coalition to win the election: you don’t win the election.
Its not a matter of what you’ll accept out of a candidate; its a matter of what the electorate will accept as a candidate. And while you might be accepting of pants-shitter to make some of the most impactful decisions that will affect almost every person on the planet, the American people wont. You being willing to accept less makes you irrelevant; you aren’t a vote we need to work to get. Which is fine. Its your vote. Do what you will. You don’t need to have standards.
But, by putting the bar so low and accepting a pants-shitter, you sabotage our collective ability to actually get that person into office. It should be obvious to you now, that not enough other people wanted to elect a pants-shitter. And as a cohort, the Biden apologists, by insisting that everyone else lower their standards to that of a geriatric who was barely present, these people are saboteurs who kneecapped our ability to stop Trump.
And since you have such low standards, I expect that you should be willing to accept that your view doesn’t matter and shouldn’t be weighted as highly as people who need something more, like a specific set of policies or a certain level of competency. We don’t need to work for your vote: you’ll vote for a pants-shitter. This is great because it lets us narrow down the field to candidates for people who do have some standards, for example, that they don’t want to vote for someone who is an advocate for genocide them as a people. Or who want police reform. Or any number of other issues. Literally any ones opinion should be weighted more highly, since, like you said, you’ll basically vote for anyone, even a barely walking, senile geriatric, who shits their pants on stage.
by putting the bar so low and accepting a pants-shitter
That’s some impressively aggressive ableist language dripping throughout your comment. I assume your words come from anger and not thinking about perspectives other than the one that upsets you the most. Lots of people shit their pants, it wasn’t something that our last two presidents invented.
Behold, a president who needed significant assistance, because he’d otherwise have shit his pants. And possessed the kind of personality I mentioned where he wouldn’t have made pointing out other people’s poopie pants his entire identity:
Okay, but it’s not like these are people with lifelong conditions and injuries that cause a disability. They’re just so god damn old they have allegedly lost bowel control.
That certainly happens to many with age, but if you are old enough to have lost bowel control from age alone I’m going to question if that advanced age has not effected their mental capacity.
Our leaders need to be mentally competent. Suffering physical symptoms of advanced age makes it seem like they are/were not able to handle the very demanding job of running the country
We know its not in good faith and they’re showing their whole ass with their response. They don’t want to be responsible for the fact that in carrying water for these Dems they paved the way for fascism.
He supported the terrorist state that Epstein was working for and that is a safe heaven for pedophiles
Right and Trump is doing much better than Biden on that front? Talk about mental gymnastics, phew.
No Trump is not doing better in that front , it doesn’t mean you have to defend Biden and whitewash him
Removed by mod
Biden would have released the file if Israel was not involved . Biden prefer to protect Israel over revealing Trump involvement with Epstein . Not to say that Trump is not also involved in supporting Israeli genocidal war
Didn’t need to be, he is a full on self-avowed Zionist.
He couldn’t make life affordable either so that’s why I didn’t vote for him in 2024.
You didn’t vote for Biden because he wasn’t even on the ballot in 2024 lol
Well I could have wrote his name in but I didn’t.
Yet still the hemmoroid remains. 🙄🙄🙄 he should be impeached, convicted and removed from power then all his admin charged, prosecuted and imprisoned. Anything less is appeasing fascism.
Anything less is appeasing
Gotta go deeper, eye of Sauron needs to check in on any of Congress that fed the beast. Those fucking dinos are complicite.
