When Will Americans Finally Get Tired Of Getting Sheared Every Election?
To say nothing of being neutered!
Cartoon by Mark Taylor / DeMOCKracy.ink
During the 2020 election Joe Biden boldly proclaimed Donald Trump’s border wall would not be built “one more foot”.
This past week, Biden tanked 26 federal laws and environmental regulations to kickstart the wall back into gear, giving a laughably bogus argument that he was being forced to spend the money. Add it to a long list of torched campaign promises including a $15 minimum wage that vanished and a national health insurance program which turned out to be as valid as his claim that he visited Ground Zero among the smoldering ruins of the Twin Towers the day after the 9/11 attacks. He didn’t .
Biden’s pledge to young voters concerned about the climate crisis to not issue more gas and oil permits on federal lands went up like a well site vent pipe flame as he issued even more permits than Trump.
One of the most amusing 2016 promises by Trump was that he would be working so hard 24/7 for the American people that he would not be taking vacations. By the end of his presidency he had not only spent over a quarter of his time (380 days) on well paid vacation, it was usually at one of his pricey properties with the Secret Service detail staying in rooms at jacked up rates. Trump pledged healthcare for all but all he produced was the largest single tax cut for corporations and the wealthiest freeloaders like himself.
In other words, both Biden and Trump are tawdry run-of-the-mill bipartisan pretenders in the shabby old herd of “Blah, Blah, Blab Sheep” corporate Republocrat politicians that wander in then out of our lives every two years scamming for our vote.
And the amazing thing is so many Americans fall for the scam.
Shear lunacy.
