President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

The friend who posted this wonders why I never call her anymore

I am sitting in the morning
At the diner on the corner
I am waiting at the counter
For a NY Times reporter

To interview me and he's late
And before I even argue
She is looking out the window
At somebody coming in

"Why do you still support Trump"
She said with a smug look on her face
To me as then
She is shaking her umbrella
And I look the other way
As BLM protester march down the street
And I'm pretending not to see them
And instead I pour the milk

I open up the paper
There's a story of a withdrawal
From a mideast country
It was not one I had heard of

And I'm trolling the reporter
And thinking I'm so funny
Then I'm feeling economically anxious
And so I raise my voice

I hope Trump's share of the backlash continues to grow.
He deserves the heat, and his pissy-fits might hurt him more.

 

So you're suggesting that NY Dems unilaterally disarm? Because TX, FL, NC and MT are going to do it anyway as long as the Supreme Court hasn't said it's not OK.

 

The mercenaries cleared out too.

 

@Alma, the corporate ecology of food producers is pretty similar to media outlets. There are already a few companies and/or people owning nearly everything.
