  2. I better close this barn door now that the horses are out.

  4. Good ole’ Joe, only 249 years behind everyone else!

  5. I don’t disagree, but then why participate in a system of a ultra rich appointees? Ultra rich by any ordinary standard.

  6. Bro, Biden, was that call coming from inside the house?

  7. Said the guy that has been pro-oligarchy for his entire professional career.

  8. Morgan, Rockefeller, Rothschilds, Waltons must just be figments of our imaginations

  9. More on this subject from other reputable sources:

  10. Fuck joe. I never thought trump would cause a ceasefire in gaza.
    For right now trump is my guy.

    Free palestine 🇵🇸.

  11. But the oligarchy in China and Ukraine doesn’t threaten the US, because Joe is clean as a whistle.

  12. Would have been nice if he’d have apologized for running in this election at all and stopping us from having a primary.

    If he’s so scared, if it was so important, then why the hell didn’t he step down before election season even started!?!

  13. but is it any different than the military industrial complex, or the media oligarchy, or wall st, or oil lobby, or aipac?

  14. Damn, if only someone who was in a position of great power with an awareness of that was around for the last 4 years to do something about it. Fucking sick of this bullshit.

    Well I guess it’s getting late, im gonna head home now, my rotation at the fire department starts tomorrow morning. By the way, I noticed your kitchen towel was on fire about 20 minutes ago while I was getting a glass of water and it seems to have spread. Someone really should have done something about that. Anyway, have a good night.

  16. Democrats outspent Republicans 2 to 1

    We know who’s owned by the billionaires. No matter how much they lie

    You can always count 100% that Democrats are guilty of the crimes they’re accusing others of

  18. When billionaires run out of things to buy, they start buying governments.

    The only safe solution is to cap wealth accumulation.

  19. We are aware Joe. If only there was someone powerful, like a President or something, that could have been doing something about this for the last 4 fucking years.
