Biden, who time and again pledged to Americans that he would restore norms and respect for the rule of law after Trump’s first term in office, ultimately used his position to help his son, breaking his public pledge to Americans that he would do no such thing.

…after Americans voted that norms and respect for the rule of law don’t mean shit. Fuck 'em, I would have done the same thing.

American voters threw it all away and said that ethics don’t mean shit. He acted accordingly. Fair enough.

Like a treasure from a sunken pirate wreck

Nah, they’re cool with authoritarianism.

The question was whether or not things will get better, not extinction. We’re unlikely to go extinct, but things will absolutely get worse for us.

Humans needing to be “gone” was hyperbole - we just need to not have enough people to be able to damage the climate any more.

Not for humans. Fascism can be recovered from, but climate change can’t at this point until humans are gone.

And what nut is this?

A: Trick question, it’s a legume!

At this point it might be doing us a favor to just put us out of our misery.

And using that same reasoning, a hotdog on a bun is a sandwich.

Nothing, I don’t like small talk with strangers.
