I see only hate for Joe, but you'll miss him. You have 4 looong years ahead of you to think about that... Or more.
Crazy he didn't notice the USA has been an oligarchy the whole time lmao.
This warning would not have happened if Harris had won but the oligarchy would still exist. Bit too late to notice it now.
Crazy he is laundering billions of dollars for military contractors by funneling them into a genocide
Shoveling money to defense contractors is as American as Apple pie.
I no longer have any charity for these outgoing presidential remarks. What he is saying makes sense, but given that he didn’t bring this up or do anything about it when he had power, these sentiments are hollow pandering at best. Fuck you Joe Biden, your legacy is that you presided over the dissolution of American democracy and did genocide. No hollow words on your way out will change that.
Thanks for the comments to read through. I can now confidently say that America is a failed experiment based on these conversations alone.
Joe biden lost a winnable election due to his own vanity and lack of human decency. Fuck him. He governed better than any democrat since what Lindon Johnson? But its far too little too late to pay for a lifetime of fucking people over
Biden was an og Congressional neoliberal. A prominent one. He helped Reagan convert Republican's former opposition party into the corpo bribe taking, social inclusion!... Economic die in the streets... party it is today, locking arms with Republicans to defend our murderous economy from us as they stoke social division between us so we don't look up at our sociopath owners.
Voted for him out of harm reduction compared to Trump, a vote for quiet not peace, but fuck Joe Biden.
I agree fuck him he wasn’t bad but boy did he lack a spine
It really impressed me how he pardoned that corrupt judge on the way out. Just to prevent anyone from having positive memories of him.
Not even any corrupt judge. He pardoned the Cash4Kids judge.
Yeah, thanks dude, for not actually doing anything about it. Enjoy your millions in retirement.
This just in: Oligarch warns about other oligarchs
Pretty fucking rich to warn everyone of the tech industial complex that he himself had a direct hand in creating with the Patriot Act. This kickstarted the idea of the US three leters creating PRISM and basically created an impermeable blanket of protection for big tech to spy on Americans and then turn around and sell that data back to the goverment.

Thank God Joe promised to address this issue before taking office:
"Nothing will fundamentally change."
Ah. Die of gonorrhea and burn in hell, then.
Thanks for the warning Joe. Too bad you didn’t do everything you could have done to prevent it.
Should retire, right now, so Kamila is president for a few days. Just so technically she's a president. Just to annoy trump
Just to make all those Trump 47 bumper stickers look silly.
"Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy
Taking shape? Like it's new? Like it's only now just emerging? Jesus Christ, Biden...
Fucking neoliberal trash.
Sleepy Joe is a good nickname because apparently he's been asleep for the last 50 years.
President Biden warns of 'oligarchy' as he bids farewell to five decades in ~~politics~~ service to the oligarch-beholden establishment
Fixed it for them.
Damn. Looks like you guys are headed for a system that treats rich people and poor people differently. Where you can get away with countless felony charges just for being of a particular status in society. ~~Where they'll push for the death penalty for someone that shoots a CEO but sleep when schools get shot up~~ (see below). I feel bad for you guys that all of this is only going to start happening to you on January 20, 2025.
"Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights, the freedoms and the fair shot for everyone to get ahead," Biden said.
You could have spoken up about this and done something about it over the last 4 years buddy.
He could use his Supreme Court given powers and do something with that?
