Their written salaries sure do raise though, funny about that.

What I like to know is where are Republicans? I have barely heard a peep from them for months. It's one thing to not interrupt your opponent when they're making a mistake, it's another to not swiftly and ruthlessly capitalize on such mistakes which I have yet seen done.

Seriously, there was a greater push back to Obama by Republicans between 2008 to 2010 and that was when gas was cheaper and inflation nowhere near rampant as it is today. What the hek is it going to take for them to raise a fuss?

Edit : Also add the Afghanistan retreat to the mix of things Republicans haven't pounced on.

A little trip to the Capital made them go silent, but the pressure cooker's still going as they hope midterms might get Dems to see sense. If they see 2020 fraud again, might get interesting fast.

Putting Russia In Its Place: What Neither Reagan Nor Trump Had the Courage To Do
by Joel Goldstein, for the Washington Post

MUCH is made by right-wing conservatives of the so-called "determination" and "tough stance" of Republican President Ronald Reagan and his oft-lauded approach to dealing with the Soviet Union...

If a RINO, being devoured.
If a Populist, doing the devouring.

Capitalizing on a political enemies mistakes requires a unified front and no other engagements. Right now neither party is in a condition to fight the other.

...you really want me to believe Republicans are less united against Biden than they were against Obama in his first two years in office?

The War in Ukraine has triggered their Pavlovian response and they're salivating over the chance to send another generation of low-class young men (and maybe some women too! Progress!) into the meat grinder.

I’m not gonna pretend to know what’s going on in Washington behind closed doors, but from the outside that’s certainly what it LOOKS like. As I understand it (correct me if I’m wrong), Obama wasn’t part of the Uniparty, but rather an independent faction carving a slice of the pie (hence why the Clintons hated him so much) which makes it easy for the Republicans to put up a united front, because regardless of why, they all have a reason to be against Obama. Besides, back in 2008 the Republicans weren’t having their own little civil war going on between populists and uniparty cucks.

Yes. No major Republican actors under the Obama administration where actually in conflict. Plenty of rumbling from the voters. But the politicians and rank-and-file were roughly on the same side without any conflict.


Right now however, you have one section actively subsuming the other in a bid to become the party. That's a rather large conflict among the actors. One I'd say is for the better, but a large conflict.

Obama's rise was Uniparty based, but only in the sense that there was a sect of the DNC that really didn't fucking want to deal with the Clintons anymore after Monicagate and the corrupt bargain they made where the ENTIRE DNC promised Hillary the Presidency and that the entire party apparatus was to be dedicated to that goal at the expense of anything/everything else.

John Edwards led the charge and cracked the armor, which let Obama in to knife Hillary in the back.

Obama's progressiveness was largely marketing based on the fact that Hillary voted for the Iraq War while Obama didn't and the fact that Black John Kennedy type would play better with young voters as 2008 was also a sort of generation turn-over moment culturally in term Bush being President for 8 years, which might as well be a decade in political terms.

The point has been raised that this administration is not acting in a way that shows concern for being re-elected. I am increasingly of the opinion, and call me a doomer for this if you must, that they are confident that the fix is in and it doesn’t matter how bad things get.

We aren't at that point yet. If they lose in November, THEN you need to start worrying about Biden crashing shit with no survivors. If the GOP take Congress, expect Biden to start WW3 purely to burn everything down and trigger the "no sitting President has ever lost an election in a time of war" card.
