Dear Joe Biden: are you kidding me?
Erin Brockovich
The president-elect has tapped a former DuPont consultant to join his Environmental Protection Agency transition board
It's another neoliberal corporatist administration, like the last one, as the US remains a plutocracy as far as I know.
The only real difference I can see is that the f*%$ing Neoconservatives are back in full control of defence and intelligence and will no doubt reinvigorate the now 2 decade "war that will not end in our lifetimes" (Cheney).
While Trump was obviously an embarrassing buffoon fascist for liberal minded Yanks, and followed the usual environmentally and pandemically destructive conservative domestic agendas, he was also the first president since Carter to not start a new war. Although he's still got about a month to assassinate yet another Iranian Hero of the Revolution to spark the long awaited Persian regime change war.
Which I'm sure Biden's insane American Nazi imperial war machinists, once re-installed at the head of the Pentagon and national security agencies, will be happy to engage with, although they'll probably need to use tactical nukes this time around.
Or ... sanity rules and the USA becomes a real global leader in the fight against climate change and biosphere destruction (HA!)
How do people feel here about the new 'Democratic' US administration?
