(Thread IKs:
Stereotype)
This is my favorite:quote:The suggested reasoning is that Joe Biden cares more about corporate interests than the environment, and major media outlets are not raising a huge stink about it because they are — you guessed it — owned by corporations. I think you are supposed to scoff at and disagree with this.

They start from the core conclusion that Biden has to be good because he is a democrat. Then construct this desperately intricate rant on top of it. Each one is like a snowflake and is completely unique based on the things that the person writing it feels at the time. If you stand back and appreciate these things for what they are it's less annoying and at least interesting. It's still a little gross when you realize they only care about their own feelings which is why they sit around all day writing giant screeds to argue with their own bad thoughts and not care about the harm they are enabling and justifying with their words. Seriously. People are mad about the government doubling down on loving up the environment in 2021 when things are so dire and the stakes are so high and the response in some people's brains is to try and justify the environment getting hosed up to eliminate the possibility of it being a bad thing that can be attributed to Joe Biden? This is like an alien TV show almost.

Mayor Dave posted:2000 words on why it's good, actually, for Biden to resume selling drilling permits Only 1100 words, actually, and, no, it does suck that they are resuming the sale of leases! But I think the leftist disagreement comes down to "Biden should just ignore court orders and do whatever he wants, because that's what the previous guy did and he got away with it!"

But I think the leftist disagreement comes down to "Biden should just ignore court orders and do whatever he wants, because that's what the previous guy did and he got away with it!" Do you really not understand that power is something you take? So Biden actively choosing not to use the power in front of him is absolutely loving stupid and using this as an excuse is extremely stupid? Biden literally just doesnt loving care about the future. He's on deaths door. He's always been dogshit bad at doing anything for the future. He literally was a major player in loving over students with making student loans undischargable. He's always been against desegregation. Nothing in his character makes me think he isn't just fine continuing to hurt young people and future generations. No one here has any reason to think he is doing anything to be "good" edit: God for fucks sake his own home state, Delaware, is so insanely loving polluted its wild. Delaware itself is the most at risk state for sea level rise, percentage wise, in the US. They're literally already losing land to salt water incursion and he doesn't. loving. care. silicone thrills has issued a correction as of 22:29 on Sep 18, 2021 |

No, you see i was justifying the destruction of our environment because a democrat was doing it. That was important at the time. Trust me, grandson's skeleton, you didn't want the other guys to have been the ones destroying the environment.

Radical 90s Wizard posted:i mean, yes Biden can only be a big boy and skate by the rules with dubious reasoning when it comes to blowing up people. https://www.npr.org/2021/03/04/973561029/lawmakers-on-capitol-hill-criticize-bidens-order-for-airstrikes-against-syria quote:CHRIS MURPHY: As many presidents have, President Biden is claiming just the general power that a president has to defend troops overseas. That is not how Congress has interpreted the president's war-making authorities. What we've said through the War Powers Act is that the president has the ability to strike without congressional authorization if he's trying to prevent an imminent threat against U.S. troops. But he doesn't, under the War Powers Act, have the ability to take a retaliatory strike without coming to Congress first. If it's not an emergency, then the Constitution generally says you've got to get signoff from Congress. God forbid a POTUS use his outsized power and influence to affect good policy and things for the people and the biosphere itself.

lmao at Trump demonstrating for four years that the only thing holding back the powers of the executive are gentlemen's agreements not to use them, then the moment we get a bloo president (with majority in both houses!) it's back to pretending there's real checks and balances and implementing meaningful change is like, just so hard dude

Lost Time posted:Biden can only be a big boy and skate by the rules with dubious reasoning when it comes to blowing up people. The president could do any number of things to stop this stuff. When it's a democrat being a jerk though we need to make the process sound elaborate and labyrinthian. He can't just keep writing executive orders that take the first into account. It's just executive branch double jeopardy and he can never try anything on this subject again. A judge and court is deciding the single binary yes or no answer to this situation and he is helpless. He has no control over any of the federal agencies or personnel involved in permitting and inspecting two thousands part of this. None of the materials, organizations, clearance or inputs into this process can be influenced by the president in any way at all and nothing could ever be done to stop this other than the original executive order. It's almost like the billions of corporate dollars in politics is being supported by these unhinged voters that volunteer to run defense for the perpetrators for free because they own their merchandise.
