    From 04-MAR of this year it’s easy to see that this meme is complete bullshit. As usual, the haters have nothing but their lies to support them.

    PolitiFact referred to Biden as one of Congress’ “least wealthy members” before he became vice-president under President Barack Obama and then president himself. As president, Biden’s wealth has increased from about $8 million when he took office to about $10 million.

    The fuck kind of shit is this?

    I swear, I’m going to have a block list so long because of out of place political jackasses that it will create a digital singularity and devour lemmy.

      I swear after coming to Lemmy I’ve blocked more people than ever before on almost any other social media site I’ve been on

      The amount of tankies in this collection of sites is so damn high it blows my mind. At least the neo-nazis mostly keep contained to their own instances (though I’ve blocked my fair share of them too)

        I feel you.

        I don’t mind the politics in and of itself. It’s the people that can’t keep it to appropriate communities, or the ones that can’t bother to at least keep the posts relevant to the community if they’re going to bring politics in.

        I hate it as much when I have a similar political preference as when I don’t. Maybe even more.

      Try blocking sports related stuff…I fear that’s almost worse. My block list is HUGE because of it

      You are aware this community is hosted on the Marxist-Leninist instance that started Lemmy, right?

        You are aware that your username is pretty shit and resembles that of a bot, right?

          yep, but it works for me. Others don’t like it, oh well.

    This just in: being in a high position of power in the wealthiest nation to ever exist somehow increases your net worth

    Still trying to figure it out. I’ll report back when I know more! 🫡
