US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

I remember playing my pirated need for speed games in 2009 on my Xbox and wondering why the fuck Obama was on the billboards.

this was a trend that i remember EA was super aggressive about promoting and even Valve did some stuff with in-game billboards in counter strike source, and it's always surprised me that it never really took off. not so much at the time because people really didn't like it, but back then people were vary wary of any sort of monetization, this was back when DLC was being mocked as greedy. It's a lot less obnoxious than other methods so i am surprised that it never made its way back in the 10 years it took them to normalize DLC. there's been dozens of soulless husks of games that take place in some kind of generic city and the last game i can think of that had billboards with stuff on them is Burnout Paradise, which is like 15+ years old at this point.

OxyContin was the pricy stuff that nobody would dream about getting without insurance.

But guess who popularized oxycodone with cheap generics? To the extent that it was their pills that the cartels copied for their fent pills?

The biggest generic manufacturer of oxycodone is Teva pharmaceuticals, an Israeli company.

Just saying!

China are the ones who make it easy to buy.

@Useful_Mistake it's been over 24 hours. Can we please threadban niggers like this now.

Yeah, I've threadbanned him

I hate this dumbass argument that they did in 2020 too where "Vote for the Democrat or else the media will report on Trump 24/7 and make you sick of him"
No wonder so many people stopped watching the mainstream for the past 8 years. Then they do get Trump out of office and then for 4 years don't report anything about the president while Americans get poorer and poorer.

Even when Trump was out of office, the media and current administration didn't stop talking about him. Even if he wasn't running for reelection they would still talk about him.

They're getting desperate at the finish line it seems.

Not good enough.

Madonna promised me a blowjob if Hillary won.

Guess it's ok to cope some on DU now, but still the 'Biden has been one of the best presidents of my life' has to be added hah.

Lol is this the reverse-Fatpacks? Do they have their own bitch-titted thumb sucking doomer faggots there?

I'm sure all the homeless people are very appreciative of the people who care so much about their feelings. It really helps them, I'm sure.

People are so far removed from actual problems at this point that they are wildly shocked at those realities when they see them up close.

It's like the immigration problem. You have some bougie college kid in New York demanding we accept all immigrants because no one is illegal because he's barely left the state, let alone spent a few days with border control or followed what happens to immigrants when they try to assimilate, if they even bother to.

It's why they think words matter and protests do things. Because they can't be asked to think beyond what they feel, let alone whether or not feelings will feed an empty stomach.

The blackpill is a realistic outlook. I'm not sure why people hating on the blackpill like it doesn't have merits. We already seen ballots caught on fire, we saw how 2020 played out, we saw trump getting assassination attempts 4 times & legal warfare by the deep state. No shit its easy to be blackpilled/concerned.

If you can’t see the difference between
“hmmm, these factors concern me for x and y reasons”
and

It’s so over fellow MAGApedes, we have no chance of winning, we may as well surrender to our CIA overlords and FEMA right now
Also I’m a huge glowing faggot

Idk what to tell you. There’s a marked difference between rational and reasonable discussion of concerns and possible outcomes and blackpilling doomerism

I thought those were all jokes, with possibly the comments being disabled, until I got to the tranny flag one.

Ian and Don Jr. Don't right, it's intentional.

How did this literal mongoloid Ian get so famous..

@Hey Johnny Bravo respond to this guy's comment for me!

The biggest manufacturer of OxyContin was Purdue Pharma, the company that owned it. They would not have been covered by insurance had not the insurance companies been in on the racket, which no one ever wants to acknowledge. Blue Cross Blue Shield is one of the biggest lobbying groups in the US and no one holds them accountable - but keep bringing up Jews. I am certain that will redound to everyone's benefit.

Teva Pharmaceuticals was far from the only manufacturer of generic opioids. Allergan (an Irish company) was also heavily involved in this issue and sold their opioids portfolio to Teva in an attempt to get ahead of a lawsuit (which failed), which is why people now say Teva Pharmaceuticals is the biggest offender - however, the US legal system did not agree, and Allergan was forced to pay out $2 billion in settlements. CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart were also heavily fined for their involvement in the opioid scandal.

Johnson & Johnson also got significantly dinged, as did all the distributors. Blaming Teva Pharmaceuticals, when there are countless other major companies with major involvement, is a classic case of "I found a Jew and I'm gonna shriek about it."

As an aside, it's nice to know that I live rent free in some people's heads for the simple fact that I don't hate Jews:

That is just a link to the donation site.

Did you get the one about "Donald Trump only loves one thing more than winning? and that is you -insert name here-"

The one time I've actually spent a few days in NYC I remember feeling sick just from the stench of the mountains of literal garbage sitting out on the sidewalks. Like just sitting there taller than a man stands, block after block, piles of old molded food and paper trash and needles and God knows what else rolled into black hefty bags and stacked like a wall.

And that was before they amplified their trend of importing the third world along with people who actually shit in the street or throw shit filled newspapers in the garbage can. You could probably pull Jethro out of an actual pig pen from the south and he'd have less bacterial growth on him than the average NYC homeless person who lays in front of the condo tower, it's hilarious how blind to reality these very stupid people are.

Last night, Biden let out the most honest thing he's ever said. He said how he genuinely feels. The only thing he left out was calling his own voting base "suckers and losers," because that's how Democrats truly feel about the people who constantly vote for them.

If people like him view me as garbage, I'll wear that as a badge of honor. That means I'm doing something right.

Also, those posters are the most bigoted thing ever. This isn't just a target against Trump supporters ... It's a blatantly bigoted statement against Christianity.

Garbage mountains have been a feature of NYC. I saw the same shit there in the 90’s

Just wait. One day when he dies (hopefully of old age), the mainstream media will run stories about how Trump has rushed off to the afterlife to bridge our world to hell and bring forth the apocalypse.

 

[Kiwi Love Thread]

LATE but, does anybody remember the Biden memes from back in 2020 about him suddenly waking up?

I never saved them and can't find them within 5 seconds on google, but while obviously the "Wake up, Joe Biden. Hyperborea awaits" comes from Trumps's "Sleepy Joe" jabs. One could posit that the meme magic never truly left and that Biden by all accounts, actions and gossip has "woken up".

2016 naive nazi me could only dream.

 

[Meat Target]

Can't really relax when there's cheating going around. 2020 was Trumps win until the midnight ballots dropped.

Despite my reservations, I feel more optimistic than I did at this point 4 years ago.

For once in my life, the Right feels like it's playing full-court press offense, instead of defense or as the Washington Generals.
