Biden is more than willing to use executive privilege to protect the privacy of his mental health report from coming out but not willing to use the same powers to protect the privacy and health of women or anyone else

how are the two parties different again?

hard to tell the differences between two right leaning past retirement age elderly conservatives besides the different names

not a gaffe it is age showing

he should have done the responsible thing and stepped aside for younger blood instead of selfishly holding on to power same as the Republicans

Biden had his time as politician and vice president during the later years he could have just called it quits and left on a high note

instead he has just latched on and is refusing to let go same as the Republicans

has everyone forgot what Biden accomplished as a politician or Harris?

does it any of that and their current policies align with the voters?

and Republicans definitely should be asked the same questions

if laws and policies that align with religion and over policing and less human rights is what the goal is then hey lets vote Biden or Trump

article is clearly saying neither of the candidates should have been on the ballot

As millions lose federal help to pay for internet, some areas aim to fill the gap • NC Newsline (ncnewsline.com)

The federal Affordable Connectivity Program, launched at the end of 2021, has provided a discount of up to $30 per month toward internet service for eligible low-income households and up to $75 for households on qualifying tribal lands....

nobody is coming to rescue not even if we vote democrat like the last four years

meanwhile internet prices will keeping rising as inflation continues

@verdantbanana@lemmy.world avatar

thought we already were in a recession and spending more because of inflation does not mean a healthy economy either

just younger black voters?

maybe the problem is religious Biden and prosecutor Harris not the voters

verdantbanana,
@verdantbanana@lemmy.world avatar

maybe Demopublicans could have picked people other than a past retirement far right religious Catholic and an overzealous prosecutor to represent citizens interests and defend them from fascism

Critics point out that as a Schedule III drug, marijuana would remain regulated by the DEA. That means the roughly 15,000 cannabis dispensaries in the U.S. would have to register with the DEA like regular pharmacies and fulfill strict reporting requirements, something that they are loath to do and that the DEA is ill equipped to handle.

just like they killed safer tobacco consumption methods

now we will only have dispensaries that are able to “comply” with the rules

after four years of Trump thought the US would do better than a far right religious Catholic and Prosecutor

doing the right thing and a leader catching flak is supposed to be part of being a leader

if Biden would have done enough and not quartered assed everything and put the burden of everything on the citizens he would not even have to put effort in to win like any candidate

why cannabis and now women’s rights are illegal as well as homelessness and immigration

things living creatures do normally on the daily deemed illegal

all for the corporate machine to be fed warm bodies

struggling citizens with hardly any meat left being picked over on by the corpo vultures before death even occurs

there is a story think by Liu Cixin that is about a futuristic dystopian earth that is owned by one last capitalist air and all and the police are hired to insure his property is not stolen or fucked with by the citizens that still live there

all ends when he decides they are like roaches and generously builds everyone a spaceship economically of course with plenty of cryo beds so oxygen would not need to be sufficiently provided and has them rocketed out into space

@verdantbanana@lemmy.world avatar

but Biden’s name is not Trump and the economy is doing fantastic and he is protecting the US from evil apps like TikTok and everything is sunshine and rainbows

this has to be fake news

The legislation next goes to President Joe Biden to sign it into law, who said he would sign the package Wednesday. Its passage is a significant victory for the US president, congressional Democrats and Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell, who long pushed to send aid to Ukraine even as the right wing of his party increasingly soured on support for Kyiv.

“This vote reinforces America’s role as a beacon of democracy and the leader of the free world,” he said.

definitely not a victory for the US citizens though whose rights and civil liberties are endangered

In the same breath, Biden asserts that every person is created in the “image of God,” implying a place for faith in interpreting America’s founding principles.

coming from a Catholic that was in office when Roe v. Wade was overturned

feels more like United States of Christ than ever

That’s more than 9% of all outstanding federal student loan debt.

quarter assing it as usual but asking for more fundraising and votes like he did something

just like with everything else he does

so does this include the US dissidents not allowed to vote legally?

fuck that

politicians like Biden crafted and wrote laws over the years that culminated in mine and others votes being taken away

not our fault people keep voting Demopublicans in

we need to get rid of both these corporate bought parties

Study finds voters skeptical about fairness of elections. Many favor a strong, undemocratic leader (apnews.com)

Voters in 19 countries, including in three of the world’s largest democracies, are widely skeptical about whether their political elections are free and fair, and many favor a strong, undemocratic leader, according to a study released Thursday....

democracy failing because leaders selling out so hard to corporations that the people consider other alternatives should be what the headline is

citizens should not be blamed for why the leaders and the country sucks

the bought and paid politicians should be blamed

federal minimum wage is still $7.25 and our minimum tip wage is $5.12 and the minimum cash wage is $2.13

www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/…/tipped#foot1

we need to stop pandering to the two corporate parties and quit blaming the citizens for how shitty things are

Both presidential candidates failed to address this issue either as president or a politician or as a wealthy donor

Biden never supported workers and the crime bills he helped author are still in use with corporations using slave prison labor

why are we still giving the Corporate owned Demopublicans anything support, funds, or votes

how are people not rioting in the streets

and to salt the wound those left behind economically have less resources to be able to travel and be mobile

in the “United” States rights are based on a demographic lottery and the rights you have are dependent on which state you are lucky enough to be in from medical care to how much you will get paid

verdantbanana,
@verdantbanana@lemmy.world avatar

just like everything else in the US now there will be a select few states with high pay even at fast food

meanwhile the same job is only paying $7.25 an hour in other states

in the US it like a dystopian future that uses a demographic lottery to hand out what rights and pay you will have

see the US is the greatest country you make a high salary and these citizens will revote these people back in meanwhile their neighbor is making half that and told he should have voted better

presidents are always supporting states rights over federal even Biden who has lazily left to the states to decide while touting how well their economic policies are doing

this leaves the citizens even the ones not allowed to vote at fault for their issues and divides the populace against each other

our pc shop restores older machines with Arch Linux using the Gnome desktop for fifty out the door and comes with a new SSD

out of all the calls we receive on jobs we have already completed Windows has more phone time and questions out of the box than Linux which surprised us

and as for troubleshooting or walking patrons through simple things Linux has been easier for them to manage and us to explain over the phone even when having to pull the console up

talking people with little to no experience with computers some being fresh beginners

verdantbanana,
@verdantbanana@lemmy.world avatar

we only started these restores a year ago and when we did all the main distros and others were tested and researched on for this project

ultimately Arch was chosen due to pacman and the AUR repositories plus steam was using it

the shop packed the install with what they deemed universally needed packages including edge for the browser

most patrons do like the familiarity that it provides and edge allows for office365

a lot of us were super skeptical on this when we were told and had a lot of the same reservations but it has turned sales around one hundred percent though with a lot of ewaste saved

the oldest was a centrino laptop from 2007 had the original hdd in it

the patrons either use the console and update themselves or they bring it back for updates with some watching us do the updates then doing it themselves at home

linux has made computers fun again at least at our place

great now this has devolved into the same situation that Biden and the rest of the politicians here have made out of cannabis

state by state issue with Mifepristone and bud being illegally smuggled across the Mexican border to be distributed out to dealers by middle men

and the salt in the wound is Biden asking for donations on this issue after failing to defend this right while he is President

CLAPS well done US well done
