Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. (born 20 November 1942), nicknamed Genocide Joe for his support of the genocide against Palestinians,[1] is a Statesian lawyer, Democratic Party politician, and mass murderer who has been serving as the 46th President of the United States since 20 January 2021. Previously, he served as Vice President of the United States under Barack Obama. He was also a senator in the tax haven state of Delaware from 1973 to 2009.[2][3] As a senator, he opposed desegregation, arguing it would create a "racial jungle",[4] and was the architect of many draconian tough on crime laws which disproportionately affected people of color.[5] His anti-terrorism initiative classifies people who oppose capitalism as "anarchist violent extremists."[6]
Early life[edit | edit source]
Biden opposed the 1960s counter-cultural movement. He avoided the Vietnam War draft for medical reasons and then condemned students protesting against the war.[7]
Senate[edit | edit source]
Biden first campaigned for the Senate in 1972. Biden supported increasing CIA funding in the 1980s after Jimmy Carter tried to cut the CIA's staff by one-third. Biden supported Reagan's bombing of Libya and invasion of Grenada.
In the 1990s, Biden supported the U.S. war against Yugoslavia. He also supported Bill Clinton's $1.3 billion Plan Colombia, which helped the Colombian army kill thousands of civilians while targeting supposed guerrillas.[7]
Biden strongly supported the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003.[8]
Vice presidency[edit | edit source]
As vice president, Biden oversaw the U.S. invasions of Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, and Yemen and the bombing of Pakistan and Somalia.[8]
Presidency[edit | edit source]
Hardly the popular favorite, Biden's victory was secured by backroom deals of ex-president Obama.[9][10]
Biden promised to increase the national minimum wage to $15 per hour, although he admitted it would not actually happen.[11][12] He additionally promised to cancel "a minimum of $10,000" in student debt per borrower, however this has yet to come to fruition over two years later.[13]
Despite Biden claiming to support the Amazon union movement and unions in general[14] the National Security Agency (under the Biden Administration) secretly re-granted Amazon a $10 billion dollar contract[15] that was granted to Amazon in August 2021.[16]
In June of 2022, Biden appointed Andrew Briggs, an opponent to social security, to the Social Security Advisory board.[17]
War crimes[edit | edit source]
On February 25, 2021, Biden ordered airstrikes in Syria, a country that the United States of America is not at war with, killing 22 people.[18]
