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

Good point. I don't think Trump even acknowledge her. Yet the media constantly referred to her as a enemy to Trump.

Trump walked past her, glanced at her for about one tenth of a second, and continued on his way. She was glaring at him and after he failed to acknowledge her she looked like she was extremely constipated and very nothappy about it. This was spun as Trump somehow being afraid of Saint Thun

Hogg is about 70% a grifter who saw his chance at fame and the many people willing to back him for their political whims and then proceeded to use them as much as they were using him.

The man is lying every time he talks about what he believes, but I have to respect the cutthroat ruthlessness he used to get ahead in life. Though the cost is too steep as the man has no friends anymore.

I remain amazed/disappointed the grift survived admitting he wasn't actually at his school when the shooting went down, and only biked over once he saw news about it on social media.

Biden orders release of Trump White House logs to Congress​

President Joe Biden is ordering the release of Trump White House visitor logs to the House committee investigating the riot of Jan. 6, 2021, once more rejecting former President Donald Trump's claims of executive privilege.

The committee has sought a trove of data from the National Archives, including presidential records that Trump had fought to keep private. The records being released to Congress are visitor logs showing appointment information for individuals who allowed to enter the White House on the the day of the insurrection.

In a letter sent Monday to the National Archives, White House counsel Dana Remus said Biden had considered Trump's claim that because he was president at the time of the attack on the U.S. Capitol, the records should remain private, but decided that it was “not in the best interest of the United States” to do so.

The committee is focused on Trump’s actions from Jan. 6, when he waited hours to tell his supporters to stop the violence and leave the Capitol. Investigators are also interested in the organization and financing of a Washington rally the morning of the riot, when Trump told supporters to “fight like hell.” Among the unanswered questions is how close organizers of the rally coordinated with White House officials.

No it'll show how he had Putin and the devil in the White House that day

[he who has thus come/gone]

The man is lying every time he talks about what he believes, but I have to respect the cutthroat ruthlessness he used to get ahead in life. Though the cost is too steep as the man has no friends anymore.

I'd respect it more if he stopped when he won. He went from getting in to basically no respectable college (in terms of what upper middle class Parkland families think) to getting an offer from Harvard. They wrote that acceptance letter with the blood of his dead classmates. But, hey, I was once subjected to those same pressures, and while I succeeded without standing on my classmates' slaughtered bodies, I understand why he did it.

The problem is that he won, but kept the grift going. Any intelligent person would shut the fuck up after getting into Harvard and just transition into a normal life of a sociopathic Harvard alumnus. He did the exact opposite. I have no respect for his continuing grift when it serves no purpose other than to enjoy being fellated by the progressive left.

Haven't paid attention to Virginia lately but apparently Youngkin managed to get a bill (not an executive order, actual legislation) banning school mask mandates passed, which he just signed earlier today. He gave his pen to a girl who was supended 9 times for refusing to wear a mask. School districts have until March 1 to comply.

Excellent news, so far this man has delivered.

Illegal Occupation, not deployment...

I'm pretty sure Mutti was okay with us footing the bill for your defense and leaving your Bundeswehr to still be armed with broomsticks.

defense against whom?

 

[More AWS-8Q Than You]

defense against whom?

Preemptive defense against the Swiss menace. I mean, I think that's the only county on Germany's borders they haven't had a go at yet.

 

[The Ugly One]

This is ultimately the crux of the matter. Russia has insisted since the days of the Czars that Eastern Europe is its property, no matter what the inhabitants living there feel about Russian rule.

Unlike Russia, we're shockingly uninterested in total domination. If we were, back in 1945 we would have sliced up Germany, France, and Italy between us and the UK, and claimed all of Japan for ourselves. Instead we gave our foes their independence and spent the money to rebuild them as allies, not subjects.

I hate sounding like a lib. I really really really hate it. But, broken clock and all that.

Americans considered it their right to settle, annex, and rule most of North America, no matter what the inhabitants living there felt about it. We only didn't annex all of Mexico because we decided the people living south of the Rio Grande were too different from us to rule. Is America's eventual domination of the Louisiana Purchase and the West something less than "total?" Americans are prone to acting like our conquests and empire-building from 1776 through about 1924 were something entirely different than other territorial wars in history. Perhaps their closest analogue is Greek colonization of the Mediterranean, when Bronze Age, agrarian civilization completely wiped out Stone Age hunter-gatherers.

The USA not annexing Germany is nothing special. Maintaining an empire across the ocean is hard. It's easier to maintain dependent satellite states...which we do far more than modern Russia does, what with its lack of a serious deep-water navy.

You think Ivan wouldn't like to extend his borders back into EU nations?

Thunberg seriously so the attempt was more or less stillborn.

Elections Losing a War has Consequences, Germany is unironically lucky to be an actual country today instead of being France's bitch.

Losing a War has Consequences, Germany is unironically lucky to be an actual country today instead of being France's bitch.

Standing up against the forces of evil, even if you only have italy and romania on your side was still right.
The Us will be Ashamed in the future for giving up its freedome by siding with the real bad guys.

also france lost all its major occupations in the 50s, beeing the bitch of france for 10 years instead of 70 years of occupation sounds pretty sexy.

 

[The Nothingness]

Given today's anecdote, maybe it best to keep Biden away from dogs.

Given today's anecdote, maybe it best to keep Biden away from dogs.

If that story was even remotely true it would be the most based thing Biden has ever done besides that time he called that dude the "great negro of his time"

He doesn't have the option of stopping it. In order to get where he was he had to burn every bridge he crossed to get there. If he stopped the grift now he'd be left with... nothing. Oh, he'd have his fancy degree and a fair bit of coin in the bank. But he'd have no friends, his family wants nothing to do with him, and every personal connection he ever made would be severed.


He'd be left a hollow husk of a person.
