Since it's a slow news day and as the poop handler expert here is my research

1.) It started with the weird fart noise that sounded like someone ripping huge rear end during a Biden zoom call.
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/davidmack/joe-biden-fart-noise-tom-wolf
People commonly said he just poo poo himself and kept going. This would track with an incontinent person and he was already incapable of speaking language at some points in 2020 so it wasn't too far out of line to expect him to have common issues people with late stage dementia have. This was also at the point during the campaign when he was disappearing for months at a time and the media would just tell you every day that he was amazing. So rarely appearing made weird health issues seem more likely.

2.) It continued with the Pope visit. Snopes got involved but this just proves it was a story at the time people were talking about. They are unreliable and obviously can't be trusted.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/did-biden-poop-his-pants-in-rome/
Here is their reasoning for why it didn't happen

So did multiple anonymous people in Rome just decided to mock Biden for having poopy pants for no reason out of nowhere or did he actually do it? Snopes says no one has video so it didn't happen. You decide but the key part there is "Started ....(or at least popularized)" since they tried to pass off reports from anonymous British officials as coming from some specific dumb republican people could discount when she just shitposted about it and has nothing to do with the story itself.

3.) Around the same time there were at least 3 meetings with press present where something strange happened. Biden would be talking to some prime minister or foreign treasury secretary or something where they sit side by side in those chairs or a couch in the oval office and an aide standing near Biden would start screaming "THANK YOU" and the room would be cleared by screaming aides in like 20 seconds. No explanation was given and no media really reported it. I can't even find the videos of it happening anymore.

This is different to Trump. The derangement surrounding him has led to a bunch of juvenile pee-pee-poo-poo-orange-man-small-hand babytalk by the people obsessed with him as ways to try and own him. Trump is just a regular elderly rear end in a top hat getting "Awww got a depends old man" treatment. It was well established that Drumpfh have big poo poo diapey wipey by 2020 when Biden took over to run the ball down the field.

On the other hand Biden not only should very obviously be in some type of care facility, where this kind of thing is to be expected, but he has tons of circumstantial evidence of pants making GBS threads complete with third party reports that he is actually pooping his pants. When anyone points this out about Biden we get the "Whatabout drumpfgy diapey wipey" poo poo in response.

In conclusion, the poop handlers are real and I think FOIA requests could prove it if done right but don't know where to start with that. It wouldn't be critical information and they might not be guarding 100% of the proof perfectly if they think nobody knows about it.

You might be surprised that Ted Nugent and I are good friends. For his 60th birthday, someone reached out to me and said, ‘We’re making a video, and we’re asking guitar players – would you make a video [for Ted]?’

“At the time, the Ted Nugent was sort of known in the world in general as this kind of more right-wing caricature – people were not thinking of him, first and foremost, as the guy who shredded on ‘Stranglehold.’

“But then I had to think, ‘What is the video that I’m going to make for Ted’s birthday?’ And I put some thought into it, and I said, ‘It’s gonna be about two things. One, it’s gonna be things that Tom Morello and Ted Nugent have in common.’

And I went down this long list of, like, free-speech advocates, our love of rock ‘n’ roll, our respect for black artists who created rock ‘n’ roll,

And then the second was things that Ted Nugent taught an adolescent Tom Morello about sex.

Here I go, wading into the sewers of this thread:

Active genocides in the world, 2024 (7 major):

Israeli Genocide of Palestinians
Ethopian/Tigrayan Conflict
Burmese Junta persecution of Karen/Shan/Rohinga
Chinese genocide of Uighur peoples
Russian genocide of Ukrainian people
Darfur/ South Sudanese Conflict (Arabs against Dinka)
Yemen Conflict (Sunni persecuting Shia Arabs)

Adjacent to Genocide (Pending or Nigh Genocides with a high probability- 5)
Congo conflict
Azeri-Armenian Conflict
Indian genocide of Indian Muslims
American 'MAGA' genocide of Mexicans/ democide of LGBT

Perennial Concerns- 3
Turkish/Iraqi treatment of Kurds
Indian treatment of Sikhs
Brazilian persecution of Tupi/indigene peoples

That's the current (lovely state of the world)

Now next, I'm trying to gauge whether a Biden administration would worsen or lessen each of these crises:

Israeli Genocide of Palestinians: WORSEN
Ethiopian Conflict: No probable effect
Burmese genocides: No probable effect
Chinese genocide of Uighurs: NO EFFECT
Russian Genocide of Ukraine: LESSEN
Sudanese Conflict: NO EFFECT
Yemen: NO EFFECT

Congo Conflict: NO EFFECT
Armenia-Azerbaijan: LESSEN
Indian BJP persecution of Muslims: NO EFFECT
American persecution of Latinos: LESSEN
American persecution of LGBT: LESSEN

Plight of the Kurdish people: LESSEN
Persecution of Sikhs: NO EFFECT
Brazilian persecution of Tupi: LESSEN

So overall, my assessment (with my JD in international law, Master's in History, BA in Political Science, and one thesis on international law): Biden is a wash on current genocides (score of 0), and a win on averting some significant near genocides that we are close to (+3).

No, here's my informed assessment of a 2nd Trump administration:

Israeli Genocide of Palestinians: WORSEN
Ethiopian/Tigrayan Conflict: NO EFFECT
Burmese persecution of Karen/Rohinga: NO EFFECT
Chinese genocide of UIGHUR: WORSEN
Russian genocide of Ukraine: WORSEN
Darfur/ South Sudan: WORSEN
Yemen Conflict: WORSEN

Congo Conflict: NO EFFECT
Azerbaijan-Armenia: WORSEN
Indian genocide of Muslims: WORSEN
American persecution of Latins: WORSEN
American persecution of LGBT: WORSEN

Turk/Kurds: WORSEN
Indian treatment of Sikhs: WORSEN
Brazilian persecution of Tupi/indigenes: NO EFFECT

So on the active genocides, Trump is at (-3), on nigh genocides (-4), and perennials (-2).

I revile Biden. I think he deserves condemnation in the manner of Clinton or Lyndon Johnson.

But in the hope of easing the suffering of the Ukrainian people, and averting further genocides/democides of the Latino peoples and North American LGBT, and also the Kurds, I'm voting and organizing strategically for Biden.

There are far too many of you who are willing to allow the perfect to become the enemy of the good. I'm acting on my best calculus that I can manage to minimize the maximum evils of our world.

None of this is to detract from the very real and very immediate genocide of the Palestinian people. But I'm trying to build as many lifeboats as I can manage from the shipwreck that is our species.

He is right, but the young can change things. The sad fact is they do not vote, and if they vote at all it is only in presidential. Even in those elections well less then 50% vote.

They are a big voting block, if they all start voting, including in local elections, in about 10 years you will see change. But seems people these days want instant change.

2024 will be a big tell for the young, depending on who wins, things could get far worse for them.

Right now, the corporations determine who runs the US, the young, if that have patience, can change things by voting in all elections.

side note it's really unfortunate that they can't use the insane waste heat from this expensive turd for something worthwhile instead of just puking it into the environment but that would take effort and planning. Maybe they could bribe the locals with some district heating offset but when the piece of poo poo fails in a decade they don't want to be on the hook. Maybe you could use some sort of regenerative extraction to eek out a tiny bit of cost savings but if you could do that you'd have already done it on all the datacenters anyway.

Hey remember when the CCP dropped a pile of freestanding rental e-bikes and e-scooters on the sidewalks of all the major US cities without permission? And minors were just hopping on them and blasting around with no helmets? And they were just transmitting all your travel and credit card data to who-the-gently caress-knows? And they made some insane amount of profit with no consequences while using public land as their parking lots? And they started bursting into flames, randomly slamming the brakes at full speed, or incorrectly telling users to ride in traffic, turning them to vegetables? And when San Fran said "hey don't do that without permission", the company sued San Fran for having the impudence?
