He's read Chomsky, he's skipped Zinn (aw I've never heard of him!)

I actuality haven't heard of him!

Chomsky covered himself in shit during covid as well to the extent I could never take him seriously again despite liking him up to that point

One of the best books ever written is 'a people's history of the USA' by Zinn, a Marxist.

Yeah, the question isn't so much why Biden used his presidential pardon to get his own son off the hook (something most parents would do) but rather why the fuck a "democracy" has such a baldly aristocratic mechanism in place at all. Ludicrous nation.

Jesus fucking christ lad you will actually say anything to back up your ideology even when it flies in the face of anything approaching reason. So your favourite senile president has done something that bad and you're blaming the system that allows it rather than the lad who did it? I don't even think he did it btw, no more than I think he did anything else he did during his time. Somebody else did it with him as the front

"Jfc why do you blame the system instead of the man!? Btw I don't think it was the man."

Solid reasoning there.

I've consistently said I didn't think that he was of sound mind enough to be doing anything.

You tried to say he was in charge.

You now make excuses for him.

Which part of that is hard to understand?

Not making "excuses" for Biden. If he were an exceptional US president he would have made moves to clean up and corruption proof the mechanism itself. Since he is merely a very run of the mill US president he simply used it, as stands, to his own benefit in a very run of the mill way. Trump still abused it more and is likely to do so again since nothing is stopping him, certainly not non-exceptional Biden.

Keeping this as the trashfire of all US related shite, I see Shapiro and Walsh have made their elite loyalties a little too clear to their fan base with videos associating "celebration" of the UHC assassination with "the left" rather than with the absolutely across the board hatred average working (as opposed to pampered rich) Americans have for the health insurance business. Not planning on subjecting myself to the video, but a scan through the comments is interesting:

Don't exactly know where to put this, but most of the Israel stuff is in this here trash fire thread so it may as well stay that way:
