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

 

[Ruin]

If I was a lefty comedian I'd be really frustrated and blue balled right now. Biden is prime joke material. He's a million years old, demented, a gaff factory, and he shits his pants. This is the kind of thing that launches careers, book deals, prime time comedy specials, merch.

And they can't touch him or tell a single joke because progressivism is America's dominant religion and the high priests have declared Biden untouchable.

I'm genuinely surprised this guy still has a career.

He sold out superhard so no surprise.

 

[Snekposter]

are there any actual rules about who or what or even if there is a "response to the State of the Union"?
seems like "just run a compilation of Biden being fucking stupid" or Trump could be on the table if there isn't

There's unspoken rules about how things should be handled. But let's just say propriety is a distant concern for everyone not a RINO now that the Dems have completely torn off the few ragged shreds of the mask they were wearing over their naked desire for absolute, eternal, and potentially unlimited power.

Swipe out Biden and the pants shitting and you got Obama.

Sellouts usually do.

Yes, the Chinese are staying in their sphere of influence by aggressively building island bases in the South China Sea and creating debt traps for African, Latin American, and Eastern European countries through their Belt and Road Initiative, while the Russians are aggressively posturing against smaller FSU and Eastern European nations to get them back into their sphere of influence. Yeah, totally not rebuilding the Empire guize

I was wondering, does anyone talk about the bigger players much? Do we actually know what factions there are? I'm not talking about state level. More like at a macro level. If it was Global Hedgemony already, I imagine they would've dropped the act.

I'm just gonna throw some random stuff out there so people can debunk me.

Some sort of Russia-China Alliance along with smaller nations who bought into the belt and road debt trap?

IMF, the World Banks, the WEF and it's members, the European Union, the US, Australia, the UK, Canada, Israel?

OPEC, UAE, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and other Islamic states?

Countries that are so shit no one even can be bothered with them?


I'm just talking out my ass here.

How are they gonna distract from Biden's STOU?

They're gonna have the "funnyman" cover it live with Bernie Sanders to tell the base what the approved opinion is.

It's times like this where I wish superpowers were a thing. I'd teleport myself onstage Colbert's show, with MAGA hat and shirt on. While Colbert's and the NPCs' brains short-circuit from the sight of a young black bespectacled man in such apparel, I'd then make one of those lightning ropes and tie everyone to their seats, and silence Colbert using telekinesis. I'd then go through Brandon's SOTU address, deboonking every single bullshit spin he will no doubt spew out of his mouth. God Bless the USA, America the Beautiful, and other such patriotic songs would be forcibly played by Colbert's band, tears streaming down their eyes. Then as I finish with Brandon's SOTU, for my grand finale:

"I have one more question for President Biden: What does Xi Jinping's dick taste like?"

And then, *blip*! I'm gone. All of the audience, plus Colbert and his band, commit suicide, Jonestown-style, on live TV. Donald Trump is so enraptured by my performance that he gives me a small loan of 60 million dollars to finally drive over to SEGA HQ and make a Skies of Arcadia sequel a reality. And a million hot porn stars to fuck while in the process of doing so.

Thank you for coming to my fan-fiction TED talk.

I just want the Republican SOTU rebuttal to be this for once.

IMF, the World Banks, the WEF and it's members, the European Union, the US, Australia, the UK, Canada, Israel?

The international finance stuff (WEF, IMF, World Bank, the Davos Crowd) is really its own level of fuckery completely disconnected from any national concerns. Its really not fair to lump it in with mere international relations due to how impermeable and unaccountable they all are. They do whatever the fuck they want, and nations disobey them at the peril. Its like the Bogdanoff copypasta, except it might not be a joke.

As to Western nations, there's been a slow but steady realignment by the US and UK away from the Continent and to both each other and Australia and Canada. We have far more in common with each other than we do with Europe, even as horrifying as the idea of being anything like the Leafs or the Bongs is to contemplate, but that's still better than having anything in common with the Frogs or Krauts. Said alignment is also pulling away parts of the Continent eager to escape the impending (if not already arrived) Franco-Germanic domination, such as the Belgians and Poles. As bizarre as it sounds to mention Belgium since that's where the EU is headquartered, there's no love lost between them and the French and Germans (unsurprisingly thanks to World War related fuckery by both), and them buying the F-35 is a big and deliberate snub towards both nations given their geographic and political location.

Israel... Israel does whatever the fuck it wants, and if you have a problem with that you're perfectly free to take it up with the blackmail folder Mossad has assembled on you, assuming they don't just skip ahead to a suicide under bizarre circumstances. It ultimately has no loyalties save to itself and its own interests and survival, which is a position I can respect and wish the USA would emulate (blame Europe roping us into solving their problems for them more than Da Joos pulling strings for that sad state of affairs), even if they tend to go about it in a very stereotypically Jewish manner that's either constant complaints, shadowy tricks, or a Grade-S chimpout on anyone nearby.

There seems to be an active movement by the media and academics to minimize nationalism, or even demonize it. From what I've noticed in Western countries. I wondered then if that perhaps meant there were concerted efforts to make this happen, from where? To replace it with what? Collectivism? Corporatism?

I also wonder where Japan sits, since it's resisted forced immigration and anti-nationalist tendencies as well as many Eastern European states.

You know damn well what:

That's ultimately the six million dollar question. Who the hell stands to benefit from this? And I have no idea because it seems like nobody does. There's literally nothing good coming out of this, not unless your aim is a lawless ancap post-nuclear wasteland where you're free to diddle kids in your underground bunker to your heart's content. Sadly, given the sorts of people who seem to be running the show, that might not be an incorrect answer...

 

[ZMOT]

Fuck, they really are trying to start a war.

Kamala Harris heads to Munich for high-stakes diplomatic trip.

can't wait for the PR photos, "harris in honest talks with president putin", and all you see is that long ass empty table with putin alone making grimaces while busting a nut...

the desperation to prop up the social security pyramid scheme with cheap labor from immigrants. if you tell your constituents shit is gonna get bad they'll just vote for someone who tells them everything is great and then trucks in loads of new people who are supposed to pay for the aging out population.

EDIT: and TPTB don't want a re-run of 6 gorillion lampshades, keeping nations divided is the easiest way to make sure they don't notice they have more in common with their neighbor than some dude on wall street or halfway around the globe.

 

[GuntPunt]

Fuck, they really are trying to start a war.

Kamala Harris heads to Munich for high-stakes diplomatic trip.

Unironically, I don't think theres a potential scale to measure on how fucking stupid Harris is.

She was sent to the border to take blame for it being a collosal fuckup to "fix it" and she was then sent to Congres to tard wrangle BBB to be blamed for it failing again, and now she is being sent off to Ukraine willingly? Is she content on being the fall guy? I mean she is used to falling on her back and taking it for her career but c'mon.

Maybe Jill had enough and hired some Ukrainian snipers or something.

 

[Gehenna]

He's manufacturing the war he needs to raise up those ol' approval ratings, isn't he?

That's the hope, but even a basic dip into historic knowledge and American trends says it will backfire stupendously.

Here's the thing though, the hope is to manufacture the -hysteria- of war without making a war. The hope is saying that they totally averted a war will bump his numbers. The problem is that most Americans actually... blame the admin for trying to start it.

You don't get points for stopping the thing you started.

No they had it. I think they might have called it something different for some odd semantic reason, but they had it.

The Presidency usually doesn't require an event for the first year they are in office or the last year they are in office. The purpose of the SotU is for a president to say what they have done and what they will do. Always both. Trump actually broke that tradition by having an event his first year.

As the second year in office, it is actually normal for a president to do a proper event now. I am all for bashing Biden but I do like it to be on accurate and proper things.

Seriously why hasn't this guy been considered a political commenter at this point. He should drop the comedian stick and just admit he's a political commenter.

90% of our society is kabuki theatre and a shared agreement not to point out the strings holding up the puppets as they flop around for our amusement.

it's bunraku

kabuki is the heavily exaggerated and makeup wearing type of theatrics

Gas prices are still rising, and the news are still admitting it's because of Biden's Russia/Ukraine bullshit

Here's that map for everywhere else

Seems the south has better luck with gas than the north. RIP Commiefornia though, holy fuck.
