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

 

[Oxous]

Rep. Don Young (R-AK) has died today at the age of 88, in the middle of his 25th term in office. He held two records: he was the longest-serving Republican in Congress, and also the oldest person in Congress.

 

[Eggplant Wizard]

The theorycrafted plan was that they'd 25 him 2 years + 1 day into his term. That would give Kamala 2 terms + 2 years - 1 day, effectively 10 years, of rule.

The problems of course include the fact that Biden isn't going to last that long, that they're going to lose congress, that Kamala's the least likable politician in American history, and that Kamala is, from all apparent evidence, a complete and utter fucking idiot. Her recent public statements -- and the media picking up on them instead of burying them -- are evidence she's no longer plan B.

I don't know what plan B is. Clinton has restarted her Clinton Foundation, which is her money laundering scheme, so I'm guessing Clinton in 2024. Trump's been working out for the past year and looks great, last I saw Clinton she looked like badly done rule 63 fanart of Palpatine.

If not Clinton, Kamala, or Biden... then who?

Nah, Clinton was likely licking her wounds after 2016 - never forget, she actively pushed Trump for the GOP since she thought he'd fuck them over. Why do you think she's positioning herself for 2024? It's way harder to take out an incumbent Trump than a Trump that has been out of office for four years.

I don't see the signs at all that she's seriously positioning herself for 2024. That sounds like a desperate media wishcasting. They may be on board for some more election season profiteering with the Foundation spinning up again, but she's stayed out of the spotlight for the most part and what noises they've been making look more like just desperate fundraising to keep their legacy from being completely blown up by Biden's incompetence.

Clinton Foundation wouldn't be gearing up otherwise, and she smells blood in the water.

I mean, if you're Hillary wouldn't you go for it? It won't take barbells for his term to be cut short and he's actively hated, and Heels-Up Harris is even more hated than Hillary.

Reminder that Chelsea Clinton and other similar figures exist and they would all make good puppets.

Shit. Shit shit shit shit shit.

Said in the Uki thread will repeat here. The United Sates of Eurasia. The west really thinks that it's the world and has forgotten that it's treated the actual world like shit, it does not have a high of an opinion on us and they're cheering the Russians on with what they see as them standing up to the "great Satan" and of course because the west is ruled by a bunch of retards with a your ether with us or against us attitude, don't be shocked when they side against you.
Post theme.

The CIA fucked up South American countries for far less when it came to banking.

They did but those were shithole disorganized third world disasters where people were starving and eating their shoes. You can't really assassinate leaders or start coups in nuclear powers that have ties to Russia and China.

This is pretty much unprecedented in the post WWII world order.

Sounds like the /pol/ mindset, except replace “Great Satan” with “Globohomo”

It's starting to look like everyone who predicted that Covid restrictions were going to make a mysterious reappearance around the midterms will be collecting their winnings soon.

And with reemergence around midterms, say it with me now, 2020 rules!

 

[Sweet and Savoury]

It just goes to show how incompetent the average Democrat is.

Supreme Court nominee...maybe we should do a background check before we throw her up on the board? Make sure there is nothing there to surprise us?

Nah, she's black so it's all good! If anyone disagrees we'll just call them racist.


5 mins later...

She's soft on child molesters and cheeze pizza lovers....awww sheeeeit.

That's a mindset you'll find in the actual world of the people who nations where bombed to kingdom come by the west, who people are treated like shit by western corporations, who nations we destabilized by us to protect "our interests". It's something the liberals use to talk about alot back in the day and understood you can't treat people like that without it coming back to bite you.

So how long until the other shoe drops then…assuming Ukraine isn’t Armageddon?

So if that's the case why the fuck would they support Russia which is currently being lead by people who were part of the USSR?

We have troons being admirals, summers of love, Fauci, CRT, math becoming less relevant than feelings, a president who shits himself in front of the pope and diversity hires. Not really surprised we’re not being supported.

There were people in the Ukraine thread who just did not get it, thought everyone in the whole world would line up behind us to sanction Russia, because they'd be afraid of sanctions from us. In much of the world, the single most important foreign policy issue is not being controlled by America. We have a reputation for jumping into places where we're not welcome, ignoring the realities of local politics, handing out weapons to murderous psychopaths, overthrowing governments because they don't do things our way, and turning domestic political squabbles into outright civil wars.

So when many people in the third world see us telling the whole world that a government we installed in a coup is "democratic" and needs weapons, they see the same shit we try to pull in their countries and hope desperately that Russia smashes us in the mouth and sends us home bleeding.

Never thought I’d see much of the world turn into /pol/.

Well given that @The Ugly One is talking about the third world, are are really supirise that a "Pol mindset" is found. Some of those third world countries would gas the Jews.

I wonder how they view Switzerland being leaned on to break its so called "neutrality".

Welcome to cold war 2, you better pick a side.

I wouldn't put it past a bunch of dangerhairs and diversity hires deciding to try the same game plan in a nuclear power. I expect nothing less than the more retarded possibility to be the inevitable with the current admin and globohomo.

Psaki was getting awfully nervous today when asked about how Hunter was getting millions from the Ukrainians/Russians/Chinese and the conflict of interest with Joe.

 

[Standardized Profile]

Rep. Don Young (R-AK) has died today at the age of 88

I guess when our name is Young and you've become the oldest member of a group, all that's left is to go out with a right-wing dog whistle honk honk.

Most don’t care past the money side, it’s just not worth losing potential access to (Cheap) Russian oil and gas over the invasion. They’ll happily condemn Russia when it doesn’t matter though.

It's a good thing Janny likes sweeping up messes so much, cuz they keep getting bigger and bigger every second. (You can take this both figuratively and literally in the case of good ol' Brandon).

Yes indeed. Sorry for the long quote.

Q And my two questions about conflicts of interest in foreign affairs. First, I have a question about Russia and then one about China.

On Russia: You told me last year that you were unfamiliar with the Senate report that alleged that the First Son — or a company linked to the First Son received $3.5 million from the richest woman in Russia.

Subsequent reporting indicates that President Biden, when he was Vice President, had a dinner in Georgetown with the same woman in 2015.

This — Yelena Baturina, she has not been sanctioned yet by the U.S. government. How is President Biden navigating conflicts of interest when it comes to sanctioning people who have done business with his family? And can you explain to us what this $3.5 million was for?

MS. PSAKI: I don’t have any confirmation of the accuracy of that report, so I have no more further details.

Q Can you say anything about the conflicts of interest, though — how he’s navigating those when deciding sanctions?

MS. PSAKI: What would be his conflicts of interest?

Q Well, his son’s company allegedly got $3.5 million from —

MS. PSAKI: He — which I have no confirmation of. And he has continued to sanction oligarchs more than we’ve ever sanctioned in the past. I’m not sure that’s a conflict of interest, though.

Q But she hasn’t been sanctioned, though.

MS. PSAKI: Go ahead.

Q She hasn’t been sanctioned, though. She has —

MS. PSAKI: Thank you. Go ahead.

Q I have a question about Russia now. My –

MS. PSAKI: I think we’re moving on because we got to get to more people.
