They would never. Unless all of the Repubs that get in are MAGA/populist - which, again, I refer you to the post above. Sure, SOME might get in, but not all.

You think the Party of GOPe is going to do anything besides shit their pants?

I must be living in some post-truth hyper-reality mindfuck fable because I just saw the price of gas go up 20 percent in a week where I live while everybody is telling me Biden is polling better.

He really isn't polling better. Politico did a story today about the "bounce" Biden got and referenced the NPR/PBS poll, which is a major outlier. They don't mention the bounce of IBD/Tipp(+2), Rasmussen(unchanged), or Quinnipiac(+1). In the article they mentioned a "modest bounce" and later in the article they mentioned the bump only came from his Democrat base, and he made no inroads with Independent voters. They also don't mention that in that NPR poll, Biden's approval with Independents was 26%, disapproval at 55% for a net of -29 points. This time next week, and in the following weeks, his bounce will disappear.

Should I buy stock in dry cleaning companies? Lots of pants shitting is apparently going on.

Yes, overall Ulysses Grant was probably the (now second) worst cause all he did was get fucking plastered and take credit for everything, but at least he wasn't actively working against half the country, which is FUCKING HILARIOUS because keep in mind this is right after the Civil War

Well, James Buchanan did that, too.

Beginning in 1844, Buchanan became a regular contender for the Democratic party's presidential nomination. He was finally nominated in 1856, defeating incumbent Franklin Pierce and Senator Stephen A. Douglas at the Democratic National Convention. He benefited from the fact that he had been out of the country, as ambassador in London, and had not been involved in slavery issues. Buchanan and running mate John C. Breckinridge of Kentucky carried every slave state except Maryland, defeating anti-slavery Republican John C. Frémont and Know-Nothing former president Millard Fillmore to win the 1856 presidential election.

As President, Buchanan intervened to assure the Supreme Court’s majority ruling in the pro-slavery decision in the Dred Scott case. He acceded to Southern attempts to engineer Kansas’ entry into the Union as a slave state under the Lecompton Constitution, and angered not only Republicans but also Northern Democrats. Buchanan honored his pledge to serve only one term, and supported Breckinridge's unsuccessful candidacy in the 1860 presidential election. He failed to reconcile the fractured Democratic party amid the grudge against Stephen Douglas, leading to the election of Republican and former Congressman Abraham Lincoln.

Buchanan's leadership during his lame duck period, before the American Civil War, has been widely criticized. He simultaneously angered the North by not stopping secession, and the South by not yielding to their demands. He supported the ineffective Corwin Amendment in an effort to reconcile the country. He made an unsuccessful attempt to reinforce Fort Sumter, but otherwise refrained from preparing the military. His failure to forestall the Civil War has been described as incompetency, and he spent his last years defending his reputation. In his personal life, Buchanan never married, the only U.S. president to remain a lifelong bachelor, leading some to question his sexual orientation. Buchanan died of respiratory failure in 1868, and was buried in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where he had lived for nearly 60 years. Historians and scholars consistently rank Buchanan as one of the worst presidents in American history.

His total ineffectualness at accomplishing anything except pissing off the North arguably caused the Civil War, as it completely eliminated the idea of compromise among the increasingly abolitionist North, while his inability to unify the Democrats guaranteed a split between pro-South and compromise Democrats, handing the Presidency to the (by the standards of 1860) hard-line Republicans.

The problem is that the majority of Republican politicians are utter retards and just Dems but with more Christ is Kang. There's a reason Trump was so hated by both sides, because for all of his flaws he spooked the people running the scam by simply being elected.

Apparently some bill was rushed through in Arizona to fuck with MAGA folks doing that precinct strategy stuff by the GOP without looking at it.

Conservatives will always be more pathetic than the liberals for that reason alone lol.

I think it was also PA (could be wrong on the stat though) that had GOP push through mail in voting to help them in one election, and they even went as far as to prove that despite it being against their legislation. Then the proceeded to be ass raped by it in the 2020 election cycle because they couldn't argue with the fucked up mail ins.

The USA's $30 trillion dollar debt, would be called due.

GOPe eats fancy dinners with Democrats and both have a vested interest at stifling American nationalism; I'm not at all shocked they are doing their best to pretend the sentiments behind MAGA have absolutely no merit.

Question is how long does the Average American put up with both parties at this point.

I am always surprised at the lack of DINOs compared to RINOs.

IIRC the Democrat voters got tired of some DINOs and Cuomo caved and got rid of some special group over there, ever since that event.

NY has gone full batshit progressive ever since.

 

[Mr. Bung]

Holy shit, gas is going to get to $10 a gallon and possibly higher.

Holy fucking shit, paying about $200 to fill up the tank each time? I guess I just won't be leaving the house unless I can find some carpoolers around here.

If I'm feeling it, most others will be feeling it as well. No one is gonna forget about paying fucking $200 for a tank of gas every fillup. Something will have to give.

Americans aren't ready to Minecraft yet, though gas prices and food prices strap a brick to the accelerator.

Like him or not, The GOP Voter base flipping the Tables and shoving Trump to the forefront was the Average American saying "FUCK YOU GOP" and all the Rinos can try to grasp power again, but if they Rat-fuck Trump out of the 2024 Nomination the GOP will be dead.

The DNC will be harder to kill because the DNC has the Media behind them so it takes longer for their shittyness to shine through, but they are in a way even worse off than the GOP..given that even with the Media on their side they had to cheat, cheat and cheat even more to get rid of Orange man.

I've been told a rumor that the Federal Government is freaking out about the gas prices from a prominent source, and is trying to pressure states to have a tax holiday for a few months on the state's sales tax for Gasoline. Take this with a grain of salt since it's only chatter, but I'm starting to believe it more and more each day.

I live in a state with some of the highest gas taxes in the country. These taxes are supposed to go to improving our roads. Yet our freeways are marked with potholes, a major bridge in our biggest city has been closed for two years nearly cutting off an entire section of the city, and what expansion has taken place has not even come close to handling the population growth of the area. So what the hell are we paying these taxes for? (Rhetorical question, I know exactly where the funds are going)

The people in charge of the GOP in DC would rather be out of power than let Trump and his ideas take root. They may not say out loud, but I can guarantee McConnell has had dinner chats with Pelosi to try and establish rules that would let them shut Trump out.

The DNC will be harder to kill because the DNC has the Media behind them so it takes longer for their shittyness to shine through, but they are in a way even worse off than the GOP..given that even with the Media on their side they had to cheat, cheat and cheat even more to get rid of Orange man.

The superdelegate system stifles the DNC more than anything else, and that Ben Garrison comic earlier is dead right on one thing: Hillary will be the DNC nominee in 2024. Everyone knows it, and there is no amount of bodies that Hillary isn't willing to step over to get her rightful throne.

>up to 6
That's rookie numbers. Cover the whole fucking pump in them. Also that Alabama gas station manager is a cucked faggot for removing them.

To be fair, if they don't remove them they could get fired. Gas stations almost always have INSANELY strict rules saying that you can't put any stickers or decorations that aren't approved of by the gas company that station is partnered with.

So she probably has to remove them or else the gas company will stop sending them gas as far as it being a zero tolerance policy.

Trump vs Hillary 2?

I like Trump these days, and would vote for him again but...that rematch just makes me want to fucking drink myself to death.
