And who put the Federalist Society justices in place who struck it down? Oh, that's right. Donald fucking Trump.

Joe Biden had more to do with Clarence Thomas being on the court than any republican

And what did Biden do in response to Roe being struck down? Oh, that's right. He made statements about how he's against abortion.

What powers do you think they have?

Executive power, dummy. The actual power to do what he wants to do with federal resources. The court only has the power to talk about what he does after the fact.

unless you're wishing he'd be more authoritarian (fuck that)

LMAO WELL THEN SHUT THE FUCK UP IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR POLITICIANS TO EXERCISE AUTHORITY DIPSHIT

Why are you pretending to give a shit about politics in the first place??

That's not how executive powers work, unless you want him to be more authoritarian.

  1. That's exactly how executive powers work you historically illiterate liberal

  2. Shut the fuck up and stop pretending you care about anyone's lives or social outcomes if doing anything is a dealbreaker for you

  3. Please for the love of god learn what pain is after getting hit in the head over and over so many times.

You didn't have to descend to name calling, but you did. The fact that you did that instead of bringing actual arguments tells me all I need to know about how informed you are.

Welcome to my block list. Spend less time online.

I bet AntiOutsideAktion feels bad now that he's on telorand@reddthat.com's block list.

Right? Who else are they gonna find with exactly the same takes and no political acumen to beat over the head with facts? It's fun, but it's like fighting in a dream. No matter how hard you hit, online libs have pillowskulls

Reading this gave me a visceral flashback to the roller backpack kid in school who would try to "How very mature of you" his way out of having his jacket thrown up into trees.

so he seems to be authoritarian enough to bypass congress to send billions of dollars of baby killing devices to Israel but not authoritarian enough to try and stop the litany of fascism laws across the country.

Have you considered that maybe Joe "I do not view abortion as a choice and a right, I think it’s always a tragedy" Biden just doesn't care all too much about women's reproductive rights, and that Joe "Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interest in the region" Biden also really wants to unwaveringly support Israel.

The reason he doesn't put up any more than a token effort to resist the rise of fascism in america (and in fact is actively expanding presidential powers and the power of the state to suppress political dissent) is that he doesnt care about fascism. If he did care about fascism then why is he prioritising supporting fascism in israel so much that he's going to throw the election to the fascist party by completely alienating the same muslim voters who won him the election in 2020?
