MODERATORS
I can at least kind of see Eisenhower being sincere. Not out of any concern for the wealthy making profit off of mass death, but because it's pretty obvious that if all your guns are coming from profit seekers then that's inevitably going to screw over your military's ability to actually fight, which he has a personal vested interest in.
This is just Biden doing a victory lap while giving ammo to the DNC to claim that they give a fuck about anyone other than their donors.
Is that why you got your buddies to drop out and endorse you so Bernie would lose, Biden?
And then you proceed to stop every policy that would have helped stop this greed problem, Biden?
Is that why you broke every promise you made to help the poor and instead doubled down on tax cuts for the super rich, Biden?
Is that why you wasted billions of people's taxes to fund war, Biden?
Is that why you failed to provide any real opposition to Trump, Biden?
Listen Jack, (unintelligible)
Anyway
: Listen, Jack, we defeated Obamacare! And another thing, Kamala would have won if she hadn't lost!
Huvubidabuh
YOU ARE AT THE END OF A FIFTY-FIVE YEAR CAREER OF WORKING ON BEHALF OF THEM AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I have so much hatred towards him it’s crazy
Look on the bright side. Now that he's no longer useful to the bourgeois, the expensive medical treatments that have been keeping him alive will stop. I bet he doesn't live to see 2026.

Dang dude if only you were the president for 4 years maybe you could have done something about it
nope the problem started with Trump and then it was okay and now it's just about to start being a problem again in 3 days
thank you so much, President Joe "nothing will fundamentally change" Biden, so glad to see you still have the working class's back
~/j~
Who the hell runs this country, Jack? I'd like to have a word with him
Maybe he just forgot his entire career. 
"The thing I enabled all my life...it's bad, folks"
Fuuuuuuck Biden. May he rest in piss once they actually bury his corpse.
he realizes he could just order a bunch of executions right
nuke davos
oh my god, is he STILL HERE?
Too little, too late. Exactly what I'd expect of a latter-day hindenberg.
he went on to say "and be aware of presidents who run on promises they don't intend to keep, ones about student debt relief, raising the minimum wage, and stimulus checks. don't vote for guys like that for president. those are bad guys"
Damn can you imagine oligarchy, that would be nuts
Motherfucker, you are part of the damn problem! You have been at the head of the table for 4 years and did fuck all to get anything done. STFU and go die of cringe old age already you imperialist fucking nazi ghoul!
Insert liberals emoji here (doesn't work on Eternity)
You have been at the head of the table for 4 years
His political career of operating on behalf of the wealthy (especially Delaware's banks) is fifty five years long

I was honestly expecting this to be in fakenews
Same. I had to read the comm name 3 times.
SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP
He knows, he is from Delaware
Joe your whole country exists as a defense project of capitalism and by extension the wealthy.
victory lap lmao
Dems when they lose they try to be a bit to sound left just so they can fool you again in the next election cycle
If only there was an institution that could check their power ah well
proceeds to not check the power of the wealthy
I mean Ike is remembered more for his farewell address warning about the military-industrial-congressional complex than his role overthrowing socialist governments. So it's not a dumb move in the long run.
He will be remembered for the genocide in Gaza and for his arrogant assumption he could win a second term which directly led to the return of trump.
Proof that Biden was the communist that all the chuds thought he was.
They're winking at the camera.
Then what the fuck was your admin?
More like his entire career
Saw a clip of someone going 
”see he’s telling us that it’s in our hands now! He’s telling us we can change the cycle!”
Forget about drinking the kool aid, liberals have become it
What a shriveled cockroach
