The joke is US conservatives like to blame absolutely everything on Biden, especially “lax border security” like what terrorists exploited at the northern border yesterday, as some pieces of shit claimed before the facts were in (Lake since deleted it, Kinzinger was a hero and snagged a screen cap first).

…what’s been going on this time?

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

A (probably drunk) guy at the Canadian-US border slammed his Bentley into a barrier after speeding up for some reason and his car exploded. Republicans decided it was a major terrorist attack and we should close the entire U.S. Canadian border and an Iranian passport was found near the car and all kinds of stupid nonsense.

got it, thanks.

HiddenLayer5 ,

It’s almost like North America’s rampant and unmitigaed car dependency with almost no viable alternative modes of transport is responsible for more death and suffering than terrorism!

I’m certainly not worried about the Islamic terrorism that they were fearmongering about. I am worried about one of their fans committing a terrorist act.

Especially since the US is all in on supporting “when they slap you on one cheek, genocide them on the other”

It’s a simple rule guys: it’s ALWAYS the president’s fault. Unless it’s their president, then it’s NEVER the president’s fault.

Dems do the same thing with Trump. Moral of the story both sides suck

Edit: Bring on the downvotes, can’t prove me wrong tho

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Idiots do. One party has a 100% concentration of morons though.

PopcornTin ,

That’s why it’s called the uniparty.

SasquatchBanana ,

Are you ignoring the swaths of voters who are decrying Biden should demand a stop to the Palestinian slaughter?

s1nistr4 ,

There are literally 0 numerical statistics to back that up at all

SasquatchBanana ,

Sometimes, I wish I was ignorant.

Check out Biden’s approval rating the past two months. K thx.

s1nistr4 ,

That has literally nothing to do with your previous point

I encourage you to chill, wipe the sweat off your face while you furiously type to me so none of it gets in your keyboard and ruins it. K thx

SasquatchBanana ,

It’s as though Dems are critical of presidents. It doesn’t matter who is in office. It’s like Dems aren’t fanatic like Republicans. And my supporting evidence is Biden’s approval rating.

littlecolt ,

It’s weird that you fantasize about how sweaty and upset people you interact with on the Internet are.

TheLorax ,
@TheLorax@sh.itjust.works avatar

Wow, they must have changed the meaning of 0. An 11 point drop in approval from Democrats since he made his stance clear on Israel. There are even protests following him around

kaffiene ,

Not even comparable. Republicans are in a completely different league

chatokun ,

You know tons of “Dems” have tons of criticisms for Obama and Biden?

Also you both sides people ignore that one side is mostly incompetent while the other literally wants to actively harm minorities, LGBTQ+, immigrants etc. Biden has been getting a ton of shit for his Israel/Palestine response as well as his union issues. In addition, some of his stances in the past.

Even comedic songs mocking that Biden was literally the only choice.

Your comment duplicated. I’ve seen this happen all the time on Reddit, but I didn’t know Lemmy had this issue as well.

Ugh yeah I’ve seen it a few times. I think it has something to do with higher usage than the servers can handle at one time so it tries to post, “can’t”, so it does again but the first one did too but idk

You can miss me with both wars thank you very much. They are both equally reactionary and devoid of the last fifty years of political context.

drdalek13 ,

I’m open to hearing your side, good sir!

DragonTypeWyvern ,

I’m not, let’s cyberbully them

galloog1 ,

Inciting class war is old Marxist propaganda when the societies that followed it closely all reformed or collapsed. Those that reformed still have single party authoritarian systems following the fascist economic model. Either direction was precursed with a bloody revolution and ideological purges. It’s not a model I recommend you follow.

Labor minded westerners shifted to a democratic reform model almost exclusively. This is a great primer for that direction for the curious and those that want more academic context. youtu.be/eHYpcXWCkUM?si=Y-cj7IYtiAmP7crq

What is Bidenflation?

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot ,

Probably someone’s fetish.

JJROKCZ ,

The idea that Biden is personally responsible for increased inflation

SirStumps ,
@SirStumps@lemmy.world avatar

That’s the Federal Reserves fault the President shouldn’t have a say in it.

JJROKCZ ,

Trust me I know the president doesn’t actually have a gods control of the economy and every little thing that happens in this nation. I’m not the type of idiot that says bidenflation seriously

jaybone ,

Tbf every President regardless of party will take credit when the economy is good, so it’s hard to blame people for blaming the president when things are not going well for them.

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy ,

extra funny when you realise a most of the ground work for the shit state the economy is in was laid under trump

TheOriginalGregToo ,

Let’s be honest, if Trump were in office and inflation was happening y’all would be blaming him personally in exactly the same way.

Bytemeister , (edited )

Well… It was trump who destroyed our trade agreements, and then renegotiated for less favorable trade agreements. He also put tariffs on imported goods. Oh, and he fired a bunch of diplomatic staff. And then there was the whole thing where he weakened consumer protections. Don’t forget about slashing our public health and pandemic response teams just a few years before a major pandemic. Tax cuts to billionaires too, now that I think about it, allowed the richest 1% to klepto even more stuff and charge the common man man for it.

Yeah, if Trump was president right now, I’d still blame him for all the dumb shit he did.

TheOriginalGregToo ,

What does any of that have to do with inflation?

What caused inflation in this instance was the uncontrolled spending/printing of money by our government, and their mandates to shutter large portions of our economy even after COVID was shown to be less of a risk than initially feared. It’s absolutely true that Trump was still president when it began and COVID was having a serious impact on our economy. What wasn’t Trump’s doing was the continued spending and closures well after COVID had been dealt with. We continued to pass multi-trillion dollar spending bills under the blanket of COVID relief which in reality had next to nothing to do with actual COVID relief. Instead, our government saw a once in a lifetime opportunity to have what was essentially a blank check, and oh boy did they capitalize on that. Take a look at Biden’s baby, the Inflation Reduction Act. It’s a prime example of this. Even now proponents admit it did little to stifle inflation.

Facebones ,

It’s really impressive that you manage to fit both “when it’s our president they’re powerless and can’t be held accountable for anything at all, the poor baby” AND “when it’s their president they wield ultimate power and should be held directly and personally responsible for all in the world” into a single argument.

Usually yall just pick one per argument, because claiming both at once would be fucking dumb and explicitly, pointedly disengenuous. Yet here you are.

Bravo.

TheOriginalGregToo ,

You clearly missed the point, but what can I expect…?

I have no issue whatsoever with you bashing my side. What I DO have an issue with is you bashing my side and then staying uncharacteristically quiet as your side does the same thing. Selective outrage is hypocritical and disingenuous. Even your response here illustrates to me that you aren’t willing to suck up your pride and be honest. Rather than focus on the specifics of what I’ve said you ignore it and attack me personally.

I would never consider Trump my guy. That being said I think he was treated unfairly by the media and those like yourself. Y’all spent 4 years claiming he was a Russian Manchurian candidate, that he would clearly start world war 3, that he would imprison his political opponents, and on and on. The sick part is Biden has come much closer to many of those accusations than Trump did and you STILL carry water for him. You should be ashamed.

Facebones ,

Lmao what a nut job, arguing with a total figment of your imagination. You need to speak to a mental health professional, my guy.

To be clear though, I didn’t “attack you personally.” I attacked your commitment to an argument driven by two explicitly incompatible and perfectly opposite points. It’s clear from your reply though that you ARE a complete lunatic who thinks every person who isn’t you is some hyper specific stereotype out to get you specifically.

Again, see a fucking doctor.

TheOriginalGregToo ,

So now you’re mental health shaming? I thought progressives were supposed to be compassionate and nonjudgmental. You’re really letting the ideology down.

madcaesar ,

Conservatives love nicknames. It’s like they are 8 year olds.

MonkeMischief ,

They really show off their creative flair when they try to mock “democrats” as “demon rats” or “demo craps” or something in all caps, and… Expect a little gold star or something?

The more flustered they are at random local news without a preexisting political bent, the more desperate they get lol.

JJROKCZ ,

I’ve heard hundreds of times, started in December of 2020. It was a dumb the first time as now

Windows2000Srv ,

That’s sounds like the “Justin-flation” from Pierre Poilievre from the Conservatives in Canada…

America (including Canada) is getting in a dumb conservative hell…

Why am I seeing a whole bunch of pictures of female Japanese adolescents dressed like Donald Duck?

Bonehead , (edited )

Because it's a common Japanese school uniform. Why you're seeing a bunch of them is another question, but they're not actually dressed like Donald Duck purposely.

vzq ,

Is it related to WW2 era navy uniforms, like Donald Duck’s? Or is it some freak convergence?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_uniforms_in_Japan

The sailor fuku (セーラー服, sērā fuku) (lit. ‘sailor outfit’) is a common style of uniform worn by female middle school students, traditionally by high school students, and occasionally, elementary school students. It was introduced as a school uniform in 1920 at Heian Jogakuin (平安女学院)[9] and 1921 by the principal of Fukuoka Jo Gakuin University (福岡女学院),[10] Elizabeth Lee. It was modeled after the uniform used by the British Royal Navy at the time, which Lee had experienced as an exchange student in the United Kingdom.

WolfhoundRO ,

Thanks Royal Navy

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Biden was in the Royal Navy in 1920. He was in his 50s at the time.

verdare ,

I believe so. They actually are called “sailor” uniforms.
