presumably even worse skeletons in the closet we'll never hear of, no way he resigned over anything which has already made its way into the news.

the scenario where the white house tries to stop offshore drilling and a republican appointed judge stops it? did you read the article?

You don't understand, every single employee of the Federal government is in fact Joe Biden. And thus every action they take is the direct and personal action of Joe Biden himself.

fart simpson posted:

did you read the one i posted a few days ago showing the biden admin is approving new drilling permits at the highest rate since 2008

"The Biden Admin" meaning an agency that is filled with 4 years' worth of people hired by Trump appointees, who are trying to get everything moved as fast as possible before they get swept out the door.

Remember shortly after Trump was elected, when the forrest service twitter was continuing to post about climate change and people were applauding it some act of defiance? That kind of poo poo isn't especially rare, that was just unique for being public. Federal agencies are made up of individuals with their own personal and political agenda. When the administration in charge holds different views than most of the people in that agency, it can take some time for change to happen (because the folks in the agency can slow-roll it, and it takes time to replace those people).

But of course, when you are masturbating to the idea of "the cool zone" then you need Joe Biden to be a satan-level threat instead of an effective center-left politician, so every possible problem with him must be exaggerated as much as possible.

Yeah it's too bad all the federal agencies are full of trump appointees. If only someone could appoint someone else to those roles.

What ever happened to all those un-filled federal positions from the trump admin anyway? Did Biden admin fill them out?

possibly, but i think that with his track record it is at least as likely that he got some ultimatum based on some even worse poo poo he did in his past, the kind where his family would walk out and he might face actual jail time, and had to quit. to join the network tv circus probably, but i'd be surprised if he ever runs for anything again.

yeah, I'm not entirely sure he's gonna skate on charges in Albany either. he can pull the "ohhh I'm italianx and this is my heritage" poo poo all he wants but the law is pretty clear on retaliation.

joe biden is a satan level threat. he is the enemy of every living being on earth, he is one of those with the boot on your neck and on the necks of your children, he is a rapist and a pedophile, and has dedicated his life to upholding systemic racism and the concentration of wealth and power away from us and into the hands of the ruling class. gently caress you.

I never said powerless. I just pointed out that there are political headwinds that must be overcome (agency slow-rolling, conservative judges, etc) and when people try to point to things like a judge giving an injunction as proof that Biden wasn't planning on doing anything all along, it's a wild mis-read of the situation.

even ignoring the new drilling that the biden admin has affirmatively moved forward it's pretty hard to continue accepting this excuse for """"""""center-left""""""" politicians when every tepid, half-assed attempt at doing something useful is abandoned the first time there's some mild and utterly predictable obstacle

like, i dont think biden wasn't planning on doing anything all along. i think he was planning on pushing something that a court would inevitably block so that it doesn't look like his fault that nothing is getting done.
