If the first 100 days of #LameDuck & #GovernmentShutdown won't convince you then.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Man muss #FriedrichMerz auch mal gratulieren: Gestern erst die #Bundestagswahl gewonnen, doch dank heiliger #Schuldenbremse bereits vor seiner Wahl zum #Bundeskanzler eine #LameDuck. Das muss man erst einmal hinbekommen. Das ist historisch.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @DrALJONES so incredibly sad. It was a turning point in the history of the world that could have otherwise avoided both #oct7 and the #genocide
#likud, like #kach, should be declared a terrorist organization as #lameduck #biden leaves the world to the #fascists
-
Da liegst du sogar mit Sicherheit nicht falsch, da gibt es organisierte Formate zu. 😗
Welche Überzeugungskraft hat ein Justiz-/Innenministery, dessen Amtsende in greifbarer Nähe liegt, vom politischen Gegner kommt und Dinge fordert, die man (leider!!!) ja „aus Gründen“ bislang nicht gemacht hat?
-
@MAKS23 I’ve been hoping for months for @potus to exercise some #lameduck muscle
Much can be done by declassifying evidence of #genocide by #putin and #Netanyahu … even if it implicates #biden. Turning himself in to the #icc to testify, maybe as a coconspirator, would show incredible character
He’s got to follow his pitiful pardon of #hunter with something that doesn’t leave this fowl taste in #progressive’s mouth as his final act

@QasimRashid what more heinous crime must #Netanyahu commit to get feckless #lameduck #biden to take action?

Allowing #ukraine long range targets and visiting the Amazon to showcase #globalwarming are a start to flexing some #lameduck muscle
… but #putin and #Netanyahu are still in power and free.
If you want to go down in history as using the power of the #potus to change the world for the better while making the hard decisions and doing what’s politically unpopular: you need to end the reign of those two #fascists
-
@[email protected] @[email protected]
You have two months to do what’s right but politically unpopular.
End #putin’s and #Netanyahu’s #fascist #genocide by whatever means
Assure Eastern Europe, #taiwan, and #Korea can defend themselves once we’re gone
The US is now a lost cause, firmly in the hands of fascists who won’t stop until they look back and see what damage they caused
Do what’s necessary to assure the rest of the world will survive in our absence

CW: US election
@AndiPopp holding out hope that as a #lameduck, #biden has a strategy that changes his role from #netanyahu’s pawn to Netanyahu’s nightmare… in a manner that can’t be undone by whomever wins the presidency.
-
@knittingknots2 but, it’s time for #biden to declare #likud and other far right wing #fascist #Israeli parties as terrorist (as he took #kach off the terrorist list). Then he can suspend payments to #Israel and focus on supplying water, food, and medicine to #gaza
#biden needs to flex his #lameduck status and bring justice to #Netanyahu and #putin. Best to find methods that can’t be undone by whomever is elected.
-
@potus I had hoped #biden’s #bearhug strategy was twisting #netanyahu’s arm to end the #genocide. Instead, you’re being played. I can’t believe your self-proclaimed #Zionism takes into account the #likud party’s reincarnation as the outlawed #kach party (which you removed from the list of terrorist organizations in 2022). I had so hoped you’d use your #lameduck status to bring #netanyahu to the #ICC, or just turn yourself in as a coconspiritor and declassify the needed evidence

@TCatInReality What are you thinking on SCOTUS reform?
I don't think there's anything #biden can do unilaterally as a #lameduck (without support of both the house and senate).
My thoughts here are politically unpopular things #biden can do as a #lameduck that are the right things to do, but political suicide (i.e. anything pro-#Palestinian).
Some #courtpacking would be great, but as you suggest, after Kamala gets both house and senate majorities in 2025.
I "wishful think" too much.

@bmdv Nein falsch! Jeder Bewohner dieses Planeten hat eine #Eigenverantwortung!
Und die wächst mit der Macht. Verkehrsminister hat viel Macht, aber Verkehrsminister macht wenig und duckt sich weg mit Fingerzeig auf #ImmerDieAnderen.
Machthaber, die sich wegducken, nennt man #LameDuck.Als mächtige Industrienation hat 🇩🇪 besonders große #Verantwortung für #Klimaschutz. Wir haben früher und mehr emittiert als andere, also müssen wir früher stärker #dekarbonisieren als andere!

‘A naive and stupid idea’: how #RishiSunak’s #FutureFund spent millions on failed firms -
