The Biden administration is preparing an executive action that would allow the president to temporarily shut down the southern border. This comes amid pressure from both sides of the aisle to curb the flow of border crossings. White House Correspondent Laura Barrón-López reports.

    Climate displacement is coming. What’s the policy when it does?

    Have we thought through how that would work?

    So he’s continuing trump’s border policy, he’s continuing and expanding upon trump’s trade war with china, and he’s a full supporter of israel just like trump. Why is he like this?

      Because he’s old. Any other country, he’d be a conservative, but the Overton window in the US is so fucked, we have to choose between a conservative and a fascist.

        I agree that he’s a conservative, but I don’t think it’s down to age. Bernie Sanders is one year older and is not like that.

          Bernie Sanders has always been ahead of the cultural curve. It’s the difference between “knowing” progress and “understanding” progress. Sanders understands what equality means. Biden just says things that are popular at the time. While Sanders was getting arrested for protesting for equal rights, Biden was attending the same types of parties as Trump.

          disclaimer: I AM NOT IMPLING THAT TRUMP AND BIDEN ARE THE SAME. Vote for Biden if for no other reason that we already know Trump would be far worse. Just saying that when you line up the three, it’s harder to spot the differences between Trump and Biden.
