Obviously they are different. But pandering schlock is only marginally better for our democracy than pandering lies.

Oh, neither is good. Both are insidious and massive wastes of time. One of them is just also evil

It's not just one of them!

It's hard to imagine that anyone who seeks out the office of president isn't a narcissist.

If the Clintons taught us anything, is that decades-long sham marriages are certainly possible, so naturally he'd take that story and transfer it to Biden. I don't think it works though. Biden is too likeable.

calm down. It's a story / opinion piece. It's not what you want to define as "news"

What I don't get about the Democrats to start Biden's presidency is this push to forgive $50lk of student loans. No one ran on this that I am aware of. It just makes the D's look like they are their own worst enemy. They can talk all they want about R's be obstructionists (and they are correct) but really, they do it to themselves over and over again.

What do you think Tucker Carlson is? It's all opinion.

I think this is still a bit too cynical for my tastes. Yeah, it's pandering. But there's also some merit to the idea that our elected leaders can serve as positive behavioral models, especially after four years of President Narcissist.

There is little to no merit in that at all, especially from the president.

If you think these paid puff pieces for politicians aren't evil, I don't know what to tell you.

"But Joe Biden's deep love for his wife is a sign of his deep love of all of us!"

You just watched panderers to Trumptards say shit like this for four years, now it's just the harmless, spontaneous writing of a totally real person just writing what he sees? Come on man!

Wake up, sheeple!

But Carlson saying the Bidens' marriage is fake constitutes a dangerous attack on the truth!

Who's the sane/good guy in this scenario?

Only you, Burt

I'm explicitly pro-evil! How can I make that more clear!?

The President who gives Texans aid without mentioning that they voted for his competitor by a large margin?

My hero!

The worst part is knowing that Mickey is watching this thinking "fuck, I agree with Burt again..."

But he won't say anything! He won't join forces with me! Why?!

Joe is too busy selling weapons to Chile and Jordan to give a fuck about any of this.

What's to get? There's a far-left arm of the party that wants to see radical economic change, and they're trying to flex their status and Congressional voting records to get the moderate wing of the party to bend to their desires. It's been happening with both parties since the Sunshine Reforms of the 70s.

Leftists trying to get people to bend the knee to them? Huh-what-who-know?


Biden is completely correct here. You took out a $50k loan for college, you pay it back. It's the most fundamental element of contract law. If you were too stupid to understand what a loan is then sue the college that admitted your dumb ass.
