According to all the right-wingers...Joe Biden has masterminded the murder and coverups of thousands of murder while simultaneously being the most incompetent senile sitting president in history...while Hunter Biden has all the details documented on his laptop...
When my wife's old laptop bit the dust, she jokingly said I should blank the hard drive put it on ebay as "hunter bidens laptop" and start the bidding at what we originally paid for the laptop.
I really thought about it but figured it would just cause trouble for us.
Description: This 2021 Dell XPS 13 was definitely not owned by Hunter Biden and we do not know why you would think that. It features a 13.4" screen, which Hunter Biden most certainly did not use to look at child pornography, a 4.1 GhZ Intel Core i3-1115G4 with integrated GPU, which did not process video calls between Hunter and Joe Biden where Hunter used his connections with Joe as leverage in Burisma, 8GB LPDDR4x 4267MHz memory, which was not used to cache videos Hunter took of himself naked as he recorded them, and a 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD which ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT contain any compromising material about either Hunter or Joe Biden which would end the Biden presidency and tank any chances of re-election.
I see this posted a lot, but the only thing I've ever seen sourced of Noam saying anything like this is more "be wary of when the United States reports things that align in its imperial interests" rather than the oft-repeated "genocide good"
Why take a screenshot? Why not link to the Mastodon post and let it inline render. Or does Lemmy not do inline rendering of links from Mastodon like Firefish does?
That’s a big miss / needed feature if so. Last thing we need is more taking screenshots and reposting across the internet. Fediverse is perfectly positioned to do better than that.
The point is that the loser has so many charges that the average across 46 presidents, 45 of whom have zero, is now 2.
That probably also says something about the lack of accountability for US presidents because there's definitely a nonzero number of other presidents who have committed felonies.
Mostly valid criticism, but the poorest American is still one of the richest people in the world despite our kneecapping of the housing market and insufficient social safety nets.
Also has literally nothing to do with capitalism, since this isn't a thing inherent to all capitalist countries.

Okay, but what does that mean when the average American has a notably lower quality of life than competing poorer nations? Because that sounds like typical "starving kids in Africa have it worse, stop complaining" thought-terminating cliches that serve to end a discussion rather than find possible solutions.
Exactly. If the justice system were apolitical, the average would be a lot higher and the variance a lot lower. Just the last two presidents before Trump alone are responsible for so many crimes against humanity. I know Chomsky went through every recent president and explained how they all could have been impeached.
Median and mode are 0. Mean is at 2.
A great way to teach averages.
My favourite way to teach how averages aren't always the perfect metric is:
My favorite is averaging testicles and including both sexes.
The average person has less than one testicle
Is that true? The sex ratio I generally see quoted is 101:100 or 102:100 male:female. Unless more than that number of men are missing testicles.
For various reasons, yes, many are missing one or more testicles
I'd say testicular cancer and castration, voluntary or not, account for many of that number
Right, but is it more than 2 missing testicles per 102 men? Because that's what it would take to make the average less than one
Well, the numbers seem to say yes
"Yeah, mutants"
I know of these operations and have used them
But man, this really does highlight the diffs
You know, if you do a curve fit on that data, you'll see that US Presidents have become more criminal over time.

Where is Joe Biden hiding all those bodies?

Should've just gone with "NOT Hunter Bidens Laptop"
"Definitely not Hunter Biden's Laptop"

Price: $650
Just post it as "laptop from hell" and refuse to elaborate. Some Qnut will definitely buy it
In the basement of a certain pizza place in DC.
No one would ever think to check it twice.
Wait, that happened twice?
Pizzagate
Checks out.
Biden would be tied for second and third highest offender in that curve.
Mighty sus...
tbf accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt, so I feel like Nixon should at least have a little bit of a bar there.
He was sadly never charged.
If you weren't charged, but make a legally binding admission of guilt, have you committed a felony?
I feel like this is like, something they teach in some extra credit course at law school lmao
It says "charged," not "committed." Every president has probably committed felonies.
Ah, you're right, it does say 'charged'.
I don't know, I'm not sure William Henry Harrison had time to commit any felonies while president.
I can't even fathom how many Andrew Jackson must have ranked up.
Noam, War Crimes of US Presidents

Not sure I'm concerned with Noam "Genocide isn't a big deal when Socialists do it" Chomsky's take.

Chomsky is famous for Holodomor apologia

looks like this in Connect, missing its title
I guess Obama was indicted for the tan suit and dijon mustard incidents
I forgot all about that 🤭
Felonies Georg is adn outlier and should not have been counted

fyi the comment you're replying to is a reference to Spiders Georg
Oh shit, it's been so long since I heard that, it passed completely over my head.
Wat
~~Covfefe?
But seriously you've had a stroke get that shit checked out.~~
Edit: TIL about a tumblr meme
Edit 2: and that Idk how to cross stuff out on Lemmy
it's a reference to spiders georg
Its a meme
Stop the timeline, please. I want to get off.
We're riding this baby into the ground. Dicks out and bottoms up boys and girls.
help
What can I do for you?
MAGAts can't read graphs.

Remember this when our hyper-capitalist politicians and CEOs crow about what a "wealthy nation" we are despite this:
https://www.vox.com/policy/2023/3/8/23618237/homelessness-tent-encampments-housing-affordable
And this: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-01-24/two-in-three-can-t-cover-400-emergency-in-us-suze-orman-survey
We look wealthy statistically because of this: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/18/the-wealthiest-10percent-of-americans-own-a-record-89percent-of-all-us-stocks.html
We're just a gold plated cesspool of greed, exploitation, and greed worship.

Gonna need to see a citation on that claim there chief
On my phone so I can't do tons of research, but if you want the long short then just go here and check how many countries ranked higher than America that have lower GDP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Happiness_Report#2023_report
Of course you can nitpick certain stats to no end, so I'll primarily focus on the disparity of
-Annual vacation days
-Public healthcare
-Public transportation, and
-Public education
that the average American has compared to other developed nations
Happiness and QOL are not directly related, and happiness is much more of a cultural thing than a cost of living thing.
I'm all for the bullets you list but that doesn't make these concepts shared ideas.

I wonder what the average would be if they were charged with the crimes they actually did order done?
