They aren’t moving independent. Maga is just lifting up unfunny racists disguised as comedians to show “we are funny too”.
Like I said, the best comedians, scratch that, my favourite comedians are the ones that laugh at absurdity and hypocrisy wherever they see it. Bill Burr is amazing at this right now. He has an incredible talent to say uncomfortable truths and make them not only ok to say, but in a way that can unite us all in the ridiculousness of it all. Before the 2016 election, he was making fun of both candidates equally, not just trump. And it was FUNNY.
On the other hand, you have the other Bill who just tries to play both sides like they actually are equal. See, Burr doesn’t pander. Maher does. That’s the funny/unfunny call sign.
I would LOVE to see Burt host a real time type show. When he was on Rogan during covid, he called him out beautifully, essentially calling him an idiot to his face while making him laugh at it. That’s his genius.
Another thing about the new left.....They are not funny anymore. Notice 95% of comedians are Independent now. Back to the drawing board with this knee slapper.
This is nonsense. Show me a stat that shows comedians are 95% independent now. Good comedians have always criticized both parties. It’s just we’re not snowflakes about it. SNL parodied obama for 8 years, and he laughed, and we laughed along with him. They parodied both clintons. Even sarah palin had a decent sense of humour about tina fey (although her appearance was obviously politically motivated).
Your cult leader has told you to get offended by comedy, so now you’re offended by comedy. And you are told that comedians are going anti woke, which they’ve always been, so now you think this is new.
It’s like when I see posts on social media criticizing Rage Against the Machine for not “sticking to the music”. It’s always idiot maga (not all republicans) that have zero awareness about the world around them.
There's an amazing video of Chris Farley going into chambers and imitating Newt Gingrich. Whatever you think of Newt, note that he was right there laughing. And so were members of his own party.
This is the kind of moment we've been robbed of because we're devoted to a thin-skinned leader. I really miss the days conservatives said "you have to be able to laugh at yourself" Like Newt is doing here.
Again how long ago was this? Let's talk about the past 8 years. Comedians have left the party and are Independent now.
I'm not talking about whether comedians are Dems/GOP/Ind. I'm talking about the bolded parts...the GOP is nothing but easily offended snowflakes. The days of laughing at ourselves are over and it's not because, as we have been told for so long, of liberal snowflakes but thin-skinned "leaders" who spend inordinate amounts of time being victims and whining about how unfair everyone is to them.
I don't give a damn what party a comedian affiliates themselves with. What I'm talking about is they can't poke fun at the powerful because of MAGA's fee fees.
Here's what all of you have wrong. Independents put Trump in the white house. The Left went completely bat shit crazy that you pushed people (like myself) away. Thats it.
Can you post some of Biden’s bat shit crazy stuff that he did over four years?
Afghanistan pull out. Covid jab mandated for federal workers. Complete mismanagement of COVID. Prolonged lockdowns (keeping kids out of school). Workplace restrictions. Using scare tactics to enforce not complying. Calling it the disease of the unvaccinated Preemptive pardons (I can't believe anyone would approve this) Bidenomincs lead to inflation "Reduction Act"( off the top of my head 19% I believe) DEI reinforcement Weaponization of the FBI (see the Twitter files) this alone should be enough to not vote for him. Censorship on all major platforms (again see the Twitter files) Lack of support for law enforcement lead to higher crime rates. Open boarder. 10 million people Handling of Ukraine and pushing Russia by expanding NATO

AI because Halifax seems to like it 😉 and I'm lazy af:
Based on various perspectives and analyses available up to February 21, 2025, several key mistakes or perceived failures have been attributed to the Biden administration. These critiques span economic, foreign policy, domestic, and political domains, reflecting a range of viewpoints from commentators, experts, and public sentiment. Below is a summary of some of the most commonly cited issues:
1. Chaotic Afghanistan Withdrawal (August 2021)
Description: The rapid withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan led to the swift collapse of the Afghan government and the Taliban's takeover of Kabul. The process was widely criticized for poor planning, leaving behind American citizens, Afghan allies, and billions in military equipment, and resulting in the deaths of 13 U.S. service members in a terrorist attack.
Impact: This event marked a significant early blow to Biden’s presidency, with critics arguing it damaged U.S. credibility globally and signaled weakness to adversaries. Public approval ratings dropped sharply and never fully recovered, with some viewing it as a defining moment of incompetence.
2. Inflation and Economic Mismanagement
Description: The $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, enacted in March 2021, is often cited as a key driver of inflation, which peaked at 9.1% in 2022—the highest in 40 years. Critics argue the stimulus was excessive given the recovering economy, exacerbating supply chain issues and increasing federal debt.
Impact: Rising prices for essentials like food, energy, and housing eroded purchasing power, with cumulative inflation reaching nearly 20% since Biden took office. This fueled public discontent, contributing to perceptions of economic mismanagement and influencing the 2024 election outcome.
3. Border Security and Immigration Crisis
Description: The administration faced criticism for reversing Trump-era policies, such as halting border wall construction and ending strict immigration enforcement, leading to record-high illegal border crossings (over 6.7 million encounters reported). The situation overwhelmed resources in border states and cities.
Impact: The perceived lack of control became a political liability, with opponents framing it as an "open border" policy that empowered cartels and strained local economies. Biden’s delayed response amplified Republican criticism.
4. Decision to Run for a Second Term
Description: Biden’s choice to seek re-election despite concerns about his age (he turned 82 in 2024) and declining mental and physical sharpness, evident during the June 2024 debate with Trump, is seen as a strategic error. His poor performance prompted calls from within his party to step aside, which he resisted until July 2024.
Impact: This decision is blamed for fracturing Democratic unity, undermining his legacy, and weakening the party’s chances against Trump in 2024. Critics argue an earlier exit could have allowed a stronger candidate to emerge.
5. Foreign Policy Missteps Beyond Afghanistan
Description: Additional critiques include Biden’s handling of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine (e.g., waiving sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, seen as emboldening Putin), his "Hug Bibi" approach to Israel (failing to restrain Netanyahu post-October 7, 2023), and unfreezing $6 billion in Iranian assets, which some link to increased regional instability.
Impact: These moves are said to have weakened U.S. alliances, emboldened adversaries like Iran and China, and diminished America’s global standing, with some arguing they reflect a misreading of current geopolitical realities.
6. Overemphasis on Progressive Policies
Description: Policies like advancing "equity" through DEI initiatives, maintaining high spending, and pushing green energy (e.g., canceling the Keystone XL pipeline) are criticized as alienating moderates and prioritizing ideology over practicality.
Impact: This shift is seen as a departure from Biden’s campaign promise of unity, contributing to polarization and economic strain (e.g., higher energy costs), while failing to deliver tangible results for many Americans.
7. Handling of Domestic Issues (Crime, COVID, and Infrastructure)
Description: Rising violent crime, an uneven COVID-19 response (e.g., Omicron surge unpreparedness), and slow progress on initiatives like the $42 billion internet expansion program under Vice President Harris are cited as failures.
Impact: These issues reinforced perceptions of incompetence and broken promises, with Americans feeling little improvement in quality of life despite Biden’s pledges.
Broader Context
While these criticisms dominate discourse, supporters argue Biden faced unprecedented challenges (e.g., a global pandemic, supply chain disruptions) and achieved successes like infrastructure investment and rallying NATO against Russia. However, the narrative of "failure" often overshadows these, driven by public frustration over tangible issues like cost of living and border security.
This summary reflects a synthesis of critiques from various sources and public sentiment as of February 21, 2025, without endorsing any single viewpoint. The Biden administration’s legacy remains a subject of ongoing debate, shaped by both policy outcomes and political optics.

Unfortunately people died during the pullout but I’m not sure how that qualifies as batshit crazy. Maybe you think we should still be there?
Vaccine mandates for federal workers I can see having issue with, although mandates have been required in most hospitals for decades, so it’s not too far out there.
Mismanagement of covid is a vague opinion.
Covid mandates were done at the state level and happened in nearly every state, blue and red
Yes Biden said dumb shit about the vaccine and messaging was poorly executed.
Preemptive pardons was more a reflection of the situation with Trump after announcing he’d be seeking revenge. Not really bat shit crazy if you factor that in.
Inflation was primarily a result of supply chains getting wrecked in 2020 and 3 stimulus packages (2 done under Trump).
The “twitter files” talked about vague “pressure” from the white house. Judge Barrett even asked for specifics which no one had.
The federal government provides funding for local and state law enforcement via the Justice Assistance Grant program, whose funding generally increased under Biden.
Our borders have always been open in the context you’re referring to, and 10 million new illegals isn’t an accurate number.
And sympathy for Putin by claiming he was pushed into aggression is just an opinion.
Not to mention that the GOP did everything they could to keep the number high just for election-season talking Points. #AmericaFirst

Trump doesn’t give two fucks about peace. He’s isolationist. See what happens when china and Russia take full advantage. “Wah wah wah it must have been the dems!”.

Biden was beholden to the timeline of trump’s disastrous shitty pullout plan somehow = Biden’s fault
AI, again, because of previously listed reasons:
The Afghanistan withdrawal, particularly the chaotic exit in August 2021, doesn’t have a single point of failure—it’s a messy stew of decisions spanning multiple U.S. administrations, military leadership, and on-the-ground realities. Here’s a breakdown of the key players and what they contributed:
Trump Administration: Laid the groundwork by signing the Doha Agreement with the Taliban in February 2020. This deal set a May 2021 deadline for U.S. troop withdrawal, excluded the Afghan government from negotiations, and promised to pull out in exchange for vague Taliban assurances (like not attacking U.S. forces or hosting terrorists). Critics argue it emboldened the Taliban, undermined the Afghan government, and tied the hands of the next administration with an unrealistic timeline. The release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners, pushed by Trump’s team, didn’t help either—many went straight back to fighting.
Biden Administration: Pulled the trigger on the withdrawal, sticking to the framework but extending the deadline to August 31, 2021. Biden’s team underestimated how fast the Afghan government and military would collapse—Kabul fell in days, not months as predicted. The execution was a logistical mess: insufficient troop numbers to secure the evacuation, poor coordination with allies, and a reliance on the Taliban for security at Kabul airport (e.g., Abbey Gate, where a bombing killed 13 U.S. troops and over 170 Afghans). Biden owns the optics of the disorder—stranded Americans, desperate Afghans clinging to planes—and the decision to fully exit despite warnings from military advisors.
Military and Intelligence: The Pentagon and CIA misjudged the Afghan National Army’s will to fight (it melted away despite years of U.S. training) and the Taliban’s speed. Reports later showed some brass pushed back on the rapid drawdown but were overruled. The failure to secure Bagram Air Base, opting instead for the more vulnerable Kabul airport, amplified the chaos.
Afghan Government: Ashraf Ghani’s regime was corrupt, fractious, and overly dependent on U.S. support. When Ghani fled as the Taliban rolled in, it signaled the endgame. Years of mismanagement and infighting left the country’s forces unprepared to stand alone.
Historical Context: This wasn’t just a 2021 problem. Bush started the war with unclear goals beyond toppling the Taliban, Obama surged troops but set withdrawal timelines that telegraphed a lack of commitment, and both left unresolved issues—like Pakistan’s double game of hosting Taliban sanctuaries.
Who’s Most to Blame? Depends on your lens. If you focus on the deal, Trump’s negotiation set a shaky stage. If you zoom in on execution, Biden’s team botched the endgame. If you look broader, decades of inconsistent U.S. policy and a hollow Afghan state share the weight. The Taliban’s ruthlessness and regional dynamics (Pakistan, Iran, Russia) were constants no one fully countered. Pick your scapegoat—there’s plenty of fault to go around.

The "jab" is indeed a British colloquialism that was hikacked by the writers at murdoch Inc. to be used as a dogwhistle to rile up their ignorant base.
When a person from anywhere in the Commonwealth uses the term, I know exactly what they mean. When a QtRUmplican sycophant uses it, I know where they got it and why they use it.
I get that "jab" was used in derision, but I don't know what it's a dogwhistle for.

'Jab' as violent metaphor
Many people feel that the word jab is violent because of its associations with boxing.
"[The] ABC effectively are informing elderly people that they will be assaulted if they choose to receive an immunisation!" thunders one complainant. "How incredibly stupid, crass and wrong."
Read very charitably, complaints like this dovetail neatly with that of our needlephobes: adverse health outcomes may follow if the language used is too harsh.
They echo similar complaints that describing COVID in military terms can create excess anxiety or help justify authoritarian policy responses to outbreak.
Elena Semino, a professor of linguistics at Lancaster University, has previously highlighted the metaphors employed during the global pandemic: COVID is an enemy, a tsunami, a fire.
According to Dr Semino, even martial metaphors can have their place. "What makes a metaphor appropriate or inappropriate ... is not the type of metaphor itself but the way in which it is used," she wrote in a coronavirus issue of the journal Health Communication.

A lot of one sided talking points with little actual support here, but I'm mainly annoyed by your misrepresentation of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Are you against any of those concepts and do you understand what they mean in a functioning society that is actually interested in progress? Those terms were never about hiring less qualified workers. Are you in support of hiring or elevating those who look like you and make you feel comfortable even if a diverse candidate is just as qualified and maybe more so? This seems to be the standard those opposing progress want to solely go back to (i.e. cronyism, nepotism, etc.). The concept of diversity, equity and inclusion actually mean looking at the person and understanding that you shouldn't hold them back just because they do look, talk and live differently than you. Inherent unconscious bias has largely driven hiring practices for decades and that's not something we should be striving to go back to.

In Roswell, Georgia, an overflow crowd packed into a town hall forum for GOP Rep. Rich McCormick, barraging him with pointed questions and accusatory comments about DOGE.
One accused McCormick of 'doing us a disservice' for supporting DOGE.
His staff seemed caught off guard by the massive crowd.

Afghan Government: Ashraf Ghani’s regime was corrupt, fractious, and overly dependent on U.S. support. When Ghani fled as the Taliban rolled in, it signaled the endgame. Years of mismanagement and infighting left the country’s forces unprepared to stand alone.
Historical Context: This wasn’t just a 2021 problem. Bush started the war with unclear goals beyond toppling the Taliban, Obama surged troops but set withdrawal timelines that telegraphed a lack of commitment, and both left unresolved issues—like Pakistan’s double game of hosting Taliban sanctuaries.
Who’s Most to Blame? Depends on your lens. If you focus on the deal, Trump’s negotiation set a shaky stage. If you zoom in on execution, Biden’s team botched the endgame. If you look broader, decades of inconsistent U.S. policy and a hollow Afghan state share the weight. The Taliban’s ruthlessness and regional dynamics (Pakistan, Iran, Russia) were constants no one fully countered. Pick your scapegoat—there’s plenty of fault to go around.

When a person from anywhere in the Commonwealth uses the term, I know exactly what they mean.
When a QtRUmplican sycophant uses it, I know where they got it and why they use it.
Biden weaponizing the FBI in October of 2020 as a private citizen makes sense if you don't think about it.

'Jab' as violent metaphor
Many people feel that the word jab is violent because of its associations with boxing.
"[The] ABC effectively are informing elderly people that they will be assaulted if they choose to receive an immunisation!" thunders one complainant. "How incredibly stupid, crass and wrong."
Read very charitably, complaints like this dovetail neatly with that of our needlephobes: adverse health outcomes may follow if the language used is too harsh.
They echo similar complaints that describing COVID in military terms can create excess anxiety or help justify authoritarian policy responses to outbreak.
Elena Semino, a professor of linguistics at Lancaster University, has previously highlighted the metaphors employed during the global pandemic: COVID is an enemy, a tsunami, a fire.
According to Dr Semino, even martial metaphors can have their place. "What makes a metaphor appropriate or inappropriate ... is not the type of metaphor itself but the way in which it is used," she wrote in a coronavirus issue of the journal Health Communication.

One accused McCormick of 'doing us a disservice' for supporting DOGE.
His staff seemed caught off guard by the massive crowd.
