Roe V Wade was overturned before the midterm. This jackass had more than half of his Presidential term to do anything about Roe V Wade. He was the vice president for Obama for 8 years and Obama promised to codify Roe V Wade into law in 2008. The reality is that he doesn't support Roe V Wade or abortion access. He's just lying.

Then, reiterating his position on Roe, he said, “I’ve never been supportive of, you know, ‘It’s my body, I can do what I want with it.’ But I have been supportive of the notion that this is probably the most rational allocation of responsibility that all the major religions have signed on and debated over the last thousand years.”

Biden says that he doesn't support bodily autonomy and that he thinks that religions have authority over abortion access.

My religion believes abortions are basic human rights, and refusing to provide them is a sin beyond forgiveness

Sorry sweaty, it's not a MAJOR religion 😔

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I only care about Christianity, will pay lip service to Judaism, and don't know the first thing about any religion outside of that.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I still think it's wild that I just learned that Samaritanism is a thing, an abrahamic religion even, that split with the Jews well before the Christians but originally, yeah, same religion. I was reading about the Druze the other day too. It's crazy how many religions there are, i literally do not know how a person decides to believe in one

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 months ago

You decide by being born.

Samaritanism is the same religion as in 'the parable of the good Samaritan' in the new testament, though obviously evolved

They don't. If maybe 1% of religious people consciously chosen their religion i would be quite surprised.

This counter would work better if it wasn't a direct reply to Biden claiming he would do something if elected president lol

[–] [email protected] 93 points 4 months ago (2 children)

The president is simultaneously a helpless smol bean that can't do anything without a trifecta supermajority and friendly courts, and able to "do everything in his power" to the point I'm supposed to fear it.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 4 months ago

He has the extrajudicial authority to drone strike Trump so long as he's in another country and can classify him as a terrorist (should be trivial given the liberal views about Jan 6th). But nooooooooo that would be "uncivil".

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hey, hey he can't just disagree with the parliamentarian or whatever the fuck they were called. Do you think he's the president or something?

[–] [email protected] 45 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

The parliamentarian is the one I always remember whenever they pull the condescending "do you know how your own government works?" lines, since the president had the power to unilaterally (without any other input from anyone else) fire and re-hire a new parliamentarian that was more amenable to passing his agenda.

There was even historical precedent for it thanks to good old George W. Bush doing it for exactly that reason: the guy they had wouldn't do the job, so they shit-canned him and got somebody who would! My god, look at that ruthless efficiency! He had the power to solve the problem he was faced with, and he did! With Joe Biden, everybody just whined about the parliamentarian keeping poor Joe from passing his agenda (with democratic majorities in the house and senate) until media moved on, they eventually rotated villains to Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema, etc.

Liberals are fucking jackasses. They understand this shit worse than anybody, but they're so condescending and up their own asses that they'll just keep burping up these thought-terminating cliches like they're making a point.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 4 months ago

Liberals think the rules are there to protect them. Chuds think the rules are stacked against them, thus have no problem pushing them aside. Both are uniquely privileged views.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 4 months ago

The president can only do good things with monumental effort

The president can do bad things easily without problem

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago

Aw golly things are bad but GOLLY any change automatically makes things worse

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago

Do you know how your own government functions?

has anyone informed congress about US Government 101 when they want to pass an arms fund for israel/ukraine?

[–] [email protected] 48 points 4 months ago

Well that's different, there are exemptions for committing genocide.

[–] [email protected] 77 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Liberals can't do self-criticism. The fact that they're arguing Biden's promise is meaningless hasn't occurred to them.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I do self-criticism constantly because I’m trapped in a Maoist cult where comrades (white terrorists) criticize me mercilessly for having a fascist credit card (VISA Silver Signature Rewards)

They won’t let me order vegan pizza anymore because the phone is fascist and “summoning my pizza slaves with a bourgeois app” is “bad vibes”

Liberals think we dont know how the government works when in reality we do know how it works and think it sucks.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Can't the president literally just issue an executive order for literally anything at which point it's up to the court/congress to go "um that's illegal"

Like there's nothing stopping Biden from ordering the military to set up free access abortion clinics except for the potential to be stopped after the fact?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago

Biden could build abortion clinics on federal land right now

Jake Flores? The guy who ate his own cum?

I have no idea what this is referencing but I would not be surprised. My mans a freak and I ain't gonna kink shame.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

Jake is regularly beefing online with chuds and red scare adjacent people (but I repeat myself).

A while back one of them unearthed a HD porn video Jake was in where two very attractive dommes do a bunch of stuff to him including make him eat his own cum at the end.

It was meant to be "this you?" own. But he was like "yes". And lots of people (like myself) were like "he's so lucky", "he just like me fr" etc

[–] [email protected] 35 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

lmao dudes rock

That actually makes this so much funnier. I remember he had his domme gf (I think) on the pod a little while back where I think he was alluding to that and it was a great ep.

yeah it fuckin rules. Easily one of my current favs. Got it on rotation with Citations Needed, Qanon Anonymous, and Trillbillies.

Also Jake and another comic have another one, That's My Podcast I Don't Know You, where they are watching all of king of the hill in order.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

Solid af podcast. They can have some cringe takes, especially towards AES, but they interview some great socialists, they're genuinely funny, and they are good people at the end of the day.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 months ago (2 children)

While Jake doesn't really try to play the hard insurrectionist revolutionary, he got arrested during the George Floyd uprising and fought zionists on the barricades at UCLA. As far as podcasters go, that's pretty cool.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Honestly as much as he gets hate here for the right reasons I still respect Robert Evans for being on the front lines against fascists back in 2020 when he got his hand broke by some Oregon Nazis.

We should not judge everyone solely on their worst opinions. (with obvious exceptions)
