US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[HumanHive]

I'd note since this feels a little bit too much like a barb aimed at me. I remain working where I am. Providing analysis and insight to my employers who are in fact the very politicians working to pick up the pieces. I remain paying my taxes as an employee of an American company. And the move is, in theory, temporary. I am not selling my house or any other assets I have in America merely moving out of it while it works its shit out.

It's not. It's actually aimed at a certain someone else.

Then I rescind that section of my comment. Given this discussion was spurred on by me you can likely see why I thought it was though.

It is a complicated thing though, and one of the things I had to seriously consider while making that choice. So likely I am more susceptible to the idea of such a jab than I would normally be. That it ever came to such a thing saddens me. This nation can be so much better but the rot within her is so deep that any attempt to remove it will be painful.

I'm not white, but this article made me raise my eyebrow.

only like 28% of Americans want Joe to run again and he's being beaten by a generic Republican ballot by almost nine points. Any polls showing Biden beating either Trump or Florida man are cope or factoring in massive 2020 like fraud.

Biden and the dems will loose since they won't be able to rely on mail in ballots with covid restrictions being lifted worldwide, it'll be extra funny to see how they'll react to this year and 2024's elextjon

What the fuck are some more Blackrock and Pfizer execs actually going to do about cancer? Press conference it into remission?

 

[HumanHive]

If you were really serious about fighting cancer, you'd do it piecemeal. Don't fight "cancer" as a whole, that's like saying you'll be fighting blood diseases. You say "in the next ten years our new initiative will lead to new breakthroughs in leukemia" or whatever you want to pick. And then when that's done, you move on to the next one.
But really this is just going to be a big moneypit for pharmaceuticals as payment for supporting Biden during Covid.

Out of interest does any one know the rules (are there rules) about voting in absentia in the senate, or is this literaly just a situation where there are currently only 49 democrat votes.

If you don't think they'll pull RBG and have his staffers vote on his behalf until they can replace him or until it becomes literally impossible to conceal his being a brain dead potato, you're crazy. If they lose that seat they lose their majority and the SCOTUS seat they want is fucked. Everything is fucked.

So expect a lot of "working from home" from him until it's safe for him to retire for medical reasons later on down the line.

This is a disease unique to libertarian types. When your entire ethos boils down to rejection of force (by extension: authority for people to tell you to do things you'd rather not, by extension: government), what you're left with is a country-sized cat-herding exercise. For an object demonstration, watch any Big-L Libertarian party convention, they are exceptional in both the actual and wordfiltered senses.

This, Libertarians are just doormats to be walked over by more power hungry people. Whether it be NGOs, Corporations, liberal activists or far more effective authoritarians in government. Tell me, has Libertarians ever succeed in anything in the long run without their political enemies taking advantage of them? Libertarianism only ever works is if everyone is a libertarian and behave as an uncorruptible idealistic non-force in society and politics.

The only thing more laughable than a Libertarian is the Libertarian Party. Went from having two former Governors on their presidential ticket to Vermin Supreme in 4 years.

Libertarianism, just like communism is simply impossible outside of extended family units.

One of the strengths of America, even today's America, is the American people. Sure as hell isn't any "congress" or any "administration/regime". Day-to-day, Americans of all types work, do business, and live together. America works because the people who really count work together.

Great write up, however, niggers, mass immigration, and gibs.

Government spending SOARED to the highest levels that had been seen in the great depression and they debased the gold content of the dollar and eventually removed the US from the gold standard in 1933 and there was still massive deflation.

And the US is naturally trending to isolationism and will do so even if there is not civil unrest. Imperialism and interventionism require a reason for the nation to pursue them. The US is running out of reasons. the current world order was established by the Bretton-woods agreement and the Marshall plan. In exchange for the US protection from the Russians and protection from pirates on the seas the free world would ally with the US to defeat the USSR, and use the Dollar in international trade. This scheme worked there was a visible benefit for the USA for people to see and receive the boons of. the US became the worlds economic leader.

But the USSR is gone now and the Russian Federation is so decrepit that they will NEVER be a threat to the United states or even western Europe ever again. Despite geriatric cold warrior sabre rattling in the federal government and in the Kremlin, there will be no war. This is because they can no longer get the support they need for it to happen. The US has all the resources to function alone. what things it can not make it gets from Canada and Mexico and after 40 years of interventionism the international world is not selling anymore. Its why hillary lost, its why populism swept away the Neo-cons, its why Biden is floundering, its why the Great reset wont happen and its why the current order will lose.

I too, have read Accidental Superpower. Ultimately though I do agree America will probably pull through in the end, but the next half a decade is going to be the epitome of 'may you live in interesting times.'

Also hollowed out industry and a shitty education system.
This is not the American of the 40's or the 80's.

I've been coping with old friends by saying "at least we living in interesting times" for the past 6 or 7 years. I don't know when that cope will stop but I'd like to stop.

I think what people think was rugged individualism got meme'd, it was more of 'Stay the fuck away from me, I want my small hyper-specific ethno-religious enclave where I can enact laws that suit my hyper-specific minority of insane Euro rejects.' Cities were always just the price of doing business, the strength of America was always being able to move out West when a hierarchy got made and even when the railroad tycoons started to move in it was big enough to stay that way.

I think it all went downhill when flights became affordable. The world, no matter where became smaller. You could flyover portions of the country when you used to have to actually see it. You could run away to the woods to escape the insanity of the rat utopias. Now? Move in 'refugee's' at incredible speeds to supplant your supposed constituency. Why build your town when you could fly out somewhere else?

I have a very large envy for people who can see the world, with the covid BS it's only grown. Your world and wordlview depends on your experiences. People who can go live in a foreign country for a few years may gain a deeper appreciation for their home or hate it because of a number of reasons. I don't view people who vacation for a month the same. I think the Urban elite want to rule a world they don't know. Does an astronaut really gain greater understanding when they see the Earth that far up? They don't see the moving parts, you can barely see most rivers. I've heard a few have a whole eureka moment about how we all live there, but I don't really see that as anything than an adrenaline junkie being brought down to Earth.

When I was a kid my parents took me to the top of the Sears Tower when we moved to the US and were visiting my Aunt. I went back before Covid and it's always amazing how large it is. How many people live there and how districts are like different organs in a massive organism, but it didn't really grant me insight in how people lived, how they got along, or how to solve problems. I like look at a lot of cities from birds eye photos, I kinda lost my point. But I guess we live in global Babel, people at the bottom are killed so we can build ever higher only for it to all fall one day. I think it's a bit egotistical to think the worlds going to end during my lifetime, but I don't think I'll recognize it when I'm 70. Do boomers here think their 20-somthing self would recognize the modern world?

 

[ForTheHoard]

I don't care what happens. I'm not leaving. I'm not running. I still believe in my neighbors, my town, my country, even if it stopped believing in itself.

I've undergone hardship before, I can handle it again.

Less dooming and more Biden L's.

Any fighting age American that runs due to civil war shouldn't be allowed to come back. You've lived a lifetime with liberties and freedoms that billions can only fantasize about. If you were born under the jurisdiction of the US constitution, you won the time/space lottery. Being unwilling to fight for that makes you unworthy of it anyways.

Nobody wants fighting age males as refugees for a reason. Stop being doomers. There were thousands upon thousands of left wing terrorist bombings in the US during the 70s and the only thing we could give a shit about was how to find bigger dicks for porn and how to make cocaine stronger. Man up, you're a fucking American.

They are pulling a "Good Fight".

(The TV show did an alternate universe episode where Hillary won where, in her first term, "Cancer was cured" after Hillary "arranged for federal funds, acquired by taxing corporations into near oblivion, to go to Big Pharma to help supercharge cancer research beyond what they were already spending to find a cure".

Which led to the masses rightfully calling bullshit and accusing Hillary of using taxpayer money to BRIBE Big Pharma into releasing to the public all of the cancer cures they've been evilly siting on for decades, all so Hillary can get re-elected by claiming to have been the one who "cured cancer".)

This reeks of a "Plan Omega" where Biden's probably telling Big Pharma they best start putting out onto the market all of the cancer cures they've been squirreling away (because there is no money in curing cancer, just in treating it in piecemeal with expensive treatments they make millions off of) onto the market so Biden can claim to have "cured cancer" so he can run on that. And that the cabinet he is setting up, is to funnel tax payer bribe money to Big Pharma to to make them play ball.
