Is it wrong for me to feel really guilty about Biden? Absolutely loathed the fucker while he was in office, now I'm just... kinda down. Poor guy doesn't deserve that, I know it's been said a million times but he wasn't really there for most of his term.
Everybody I know IRL was like "oh, that's sad" and they're just going about their day, but it's having a greater effect on me than I thought something like this would.

I don't think it's wrong to have empathy for a person even if you don't like them and they're a terrible person, which I think he is. That said I and others would be inclined to think cancer would be fitting for someone like him given the past.

The FAA... approve an aircraft by 2026 and then permit it in paid passenger carrying operations in heavily congested airspace by 2028. Oh, right, we got the laughing out of the way already. And you'd still have to have a bunch of pilots certified and as it's not a airplane or helicopter they'll all need brand new training and checkrides. It usually takes years for a new airline/charter company to get up and running, let alone one on technology the FAA has just barely started writing regulations for.

So either LA will backtrack on the no cars during the Olympics thing. Or some Olympian is gonna get stabbed riding the bus from the venue to olympic village or whatever.

Either way, get your popcorn ready.

On one hand, I don't want to knock a guy for supporting someone who has cancer. But on the other hand is this not a weird thing to say? Biden's 82, it's perfectly normal for such an older man to get sick like this.

Wait, did DOCTOR Jill Biden know all this time or was she too ignorant to see/accept the signs?

I'm a little sick of being an international embarassment personally. But, I've always wondered what would happen if some famous guy got shanked by a methhead on the metro. Could actually lead to some money being put into public transport again.

We can be sure the Olympians won't be riding public transit, they won't be in cars but they'll likely be on fancy private busses. If they decide to see the nightlife then that may well be another story.

On the other hand, the number of out of town visitors getting robbed and/or stabbed being stuck on public transit is going to be enormous.

The new Biden tactic to avoid scrutiny

View attachment 7380068

I'd be more sympathetic if he wasn't a deliberately mean and malicious man, can't shake the feeling it's a way to avoid anything regarding being a vegetable for the past four years. Trump curse always bounces back, people.

So let me get this straight, democrats are trying to pretend like they didn’t prop up a senile old man who would have died of prostate cancer 1 year into his second term solely because orange man bad, and we’re supposed to ignore all of that to feel sorry for Biden?

The "no cars" thing is only for the little people and is done purely out of spite because LA's venues already have tons of parking.

That's not saying much. I can only imagine how loud and gay this thing must sound:

eeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeee

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass pledged last year that the Olympics would be a “no-car Games” and that people would need to use public transportation to access venues.

How long before "no car games" turn into "no customer games"?
