Biden's Different, Right?

Would 'you' (meaning a standard liberal, not the people here at C99%) be more upset about the genocide in Palestine, if Trump were president? Are 'you' upset by the administration's doing nearly nothing about the climate crisis? It would be worse if Trump were president, right? And healthcare? Nothing's been done there by Biden, despite the promises, so under Trump it would be worse? And all the money going to the military-industrial complex, Biden's definitely ramped that down compared to Trump, right? Biden's moved us back from the brink of nuclear war! What? He hasn't? Biden's freed Assange, right? /* sarcasm, sarcasm - these questions are all sarcasm */

A simple PSA!

I have been a somewhat regular contributor to this site for the past few years since I am along time retiree with a interest in politics (and too much free time)and I share what I consider news.

I spend plenty of time on this site but I keep myself informed through the internet. It is quite understandable that many do not have the same opportunity as myself and that many inluding lurkers rely on caucus99percent. to be enlightened.

Oh the irony!
I guess it sounds better than The Army of Sodbusters.
The French farmers are really pissed, as we are getting a glimmer through the Western MSMs reluctant tidbits on the world news segments. At least they are reporting on something outside the US continent other than the Royals latest travails.

Demented, arrogant, and ignorant western leaders are out of their depth and in over their heads. They are embroiled in so many conflicts they don't know if they're coming or going. Like Brer Rabbit's encounter with the tar baby we are entrapped in a morass of multiple wars of our own making. The empire's collapse looms large.
