Comment by cmeu@lemmy.world on 'Shame': Bill Including Warrantless Spying Expansion Passes Senate, Becomes Law

Ya, listing all of the bad Republicans in history, but not listing the Democrat who is behaving today like those Republicans did back then is totally redundant, and isn’t trying to play mental gymnastics to help the Democrat party evade accountability for their current actions.

Because its just those Republicans, not the Neocon Democrat President currently sitting in the Oval Office.

No it’s redundant because he’s part of the subject of the article posted and my list wasn’t meant to be an exhaustive dissertation on the subject of fear mongering authoritarianism.

So maybe take a step back before you accuse someone of doing mental gymnastics. An obviously flippant comment such as mine shouldn’t warrant such an antagonistic response.

Nah. We good.

Maybe take a step back and say what you mean. Make sure you dont sound like the perpetual “All of the good stuff is attributable to my guy in office, but all the bad stuff is the result of ‘it takes an election cycle for actions to take effect.’”

Happy you can see that America’s biggest problem is a Democrat who is behaving like a neocon, while the Blue MAGA legion go “bUt TrUmP!!!”

The president and his cabinet aren’t Congress.

What are you even saying here?

I am responding to someone who listed 3 Republican Presidents, didn’t list the Republican President during 9/11 who enacted all of the worst things that still exist in American politics, he listed a Republican Senator, but conveniently left out the Democrat that is behaving like all of them.

Quite a feat of mental gymnastics that tries to make the subject at hand Republicans fault and not the fault of current Democrats and the 2 party system as a whole.

All I’m saying is that when a bill goes through Congress and is ratified into law it’s not the president that does that.

I’m not sure if he opposes or supports this bill but for the purposes of ratifying the law that is on Congress. Just trying to be accurate.

There are lots of things to be upset with Joe Biden about this is not one of them. This is it write your congressman situation.

What your country has been openly doing the world over just became the law so they don’t need to keep it a secret anymore.

Snowden was a decade ago and if you’re asking “what happened to my country” now, I guess you are just ignorant about much horrible things that your country does.
