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

 

[he who has thus come/gone]

Doesn’t look like Dobbs is coming today. The Court has released and numbered six rulings this morning, the highest number in one day this term. Of course, my interpretation of the Court’s actions is about as soundly premised as taking an augur of passing birds, but it looks like we’ll all be blueballed once again today.

Speaking of Mayorkas, it looks like the Ministry of Truth is up and running.

I wonder if they're trying to get the less controversial decisions put to bed first. Save the shitstorm for last.

WHAT THE FUCK

Even retarded soccer moms don’t give a shit about Ukraine anymore. It’s all about the economy here and now.

Any announcement on this is legit political suicidal.

So I have multiple generations of family in the petro industry. They honestly like the dems because it makes the market harder and thus easier to make money.

The drill baby drill, crew makes things more competitive.

The keystone pipeline is dead.

It takes huuge lead times to get production up and when you have a admin that will just pull shit because they have no capital...yeah its not going to go well.

Alright, Republitards, Zeek the Fox is here to set you straight on who's really to blame for the economy.

The cope is off the charts with this one. The Democrats control the House, Senate, and the Presidency, so it's literally impossible for Republicans to sabotage the country in a bid to make Democrats look bad. He's unable to deal with the fact that he voted for this and deserves it. Sad. Many such cases.

Also a man who donated $40 billion worth of weapons to Ukraine (of which only 10% actually made it, top fucking kek)

Most of the 40billion wasn't for weapons. It was pork.

On reflection, I realise that this post is probably a great example of stating the bloody obvious. "Politicians stuff pork into barrels! Film at eleven!"

See now this cartoon is very silly. It's not physically possible to create something that just destroyed bank notes across America but left everything else unharmed.

However, with new centralized digital currencies they're working on - you could totally do this. And to select groups and individuals. Or just block certain groups or individuals from receiving money. Whatever works best. This cartoon was just ahead of its time. Give it ten years!


So you're saying the United States is taking the piss?

One of my favorite conspiracy theorist who was no longer on the internet used to make the joke that if you want to know what the powers-that-be or up to watch the GI Joe cartoon. I mean think about it

theory is Cobra Commander is the Illuminati turned Rogue terrorist organization an GI Joe is supposed to be the Patriot moment fighting against. it's actually an interesting satirical take on conspiracy theories.
now back on topic how bad does the economy have to be before people decide change needs to happen? I mean will Joe Biden be completely pulled out office? There's so many unknowns going on right now that is really hard to say where we're going with things all that is certain is there is multiple bubbles popping at once. And hard times are coming I don't know if it's going to get Great Depression levels bad but who knows it seems like they're doing everything in their power to make sure it is bad as possible

WHAT THE FUCK

Don't you get it? Hunter's crack and hooker fund is far more important than peoples' ability to put food on the table or afford gas.

You mean the 'whipping' that never happened, and was a loose reign from the horse?

It’s kinda crazy how much they’re dragging the two cases that America cares most about. It’s like Roberts actually wants some dem loon to assassinate one of the justices or their family members. He thinks he’ll be remembered well by history but his reputation will be more akin to Taney than anything he is dreaming of. But at least Taney stood for something more than the continued existence of the bureaucratic institutional state.

The only genuine good thing Joe did was shit himself and make glowies lives miserable by stinking up the white house.

My personal theory is they're enjoying watching the hand wringing from both sides. As far as abuse of power goes, "doing things slowly to savor the panic" is pretty mild, and gets my unofficial thumbs up.

As is always the case, civilizations are built in iron boots and fall in silk slippers.

Civilization does not maintain itself.

In case you forgot, this literally didn't happen. A bunch of entitled dindus and wetbacks were clashing with border patrol, and the people from the Soros NGO that were onsite helping them break into our country took a plethora of pictures and found one that made it look like a smug as fuck wetback was being whipped by a horse rider. He wasn't.

You will now be prosecuted based on lies.

if a protected minority ODs within 10 meters, you will be held responsible

Which is it? Either Presidents CAN affect gas prices, or they CAN'T. You don't get to fucking have it both ways.

The DNC sure thinks it can.

FFS...even if those Border Patrol agents did whip those Haitians, this is pretty much the least of this regime's problems.

Tom Nichols, the Atlantic: LEAVE JOE BIDEN ALOOONE!

Every administration has its ups and downs; today I examine why the Biden White House is taking more than its fair share of hits. But first, here are three great new stories from The Atlantic.

• •The right to become a parent is now at risk too.
• •Monkeypox vaccines are too gnarly for the masses.
• •The January 6 committee is not messing around.

A steady hand​

Any evaluation of a president’s performance usually begins with a soul-baring about whether the writer voted for or against the incumbent. I voted for Joe Biden, and I like him.
I am not, however, a partisan Democrat, and I was never a member of the Democratic Party. (My parents were typical Depression-era, blue-collar Democrats turned post-1968 Republicans.) In college, I became a New England moderate-conservative Republican, but I worked for a centrist Democrat on Beacon Hill and for a moderate Republican, the late John Heinz, in the Senate. And so I always kind of liked Biden as someone to whom I could relate: a working-class centrist who spoke his mind, even when his thoughts were garbled or when he seemed comically full of himself.
The Joe Biden who ran in 2020 appeared wiser, sadder, somewhat deflated, and seemed to be taking on the presidency as a public service and a burden. Time and tragedy had tempered Biden, and I liked him even more than I did in his flashier, Jason Sudeikis–like youth. These days, I think he’s done a pretty good job, especially given the fact that he’s dealing with a pandemic, revelations about an attempted American coup d’état, and an economic slowdown over which he had no control.
Oh, and by the way: He’s also managed (so far) to head off World War III and a possible nuclear conflict. We seem to forget that this is Job One for every American president, but while we’re griping about the gas prices (over which Biden also has no control), the Russians are replaying the Eastern Front against 40 million Ukrainians and also threatening NATO. It’s been reassuring to have a steady hand in charge of our foreign policy.

So why can’t the president catch a break? The public blames him for almost everything, and his approval ratings are cratering. What’s going on here?

Forget about the Republicans; controlled by their wackiest members (I would say “the fringe,” but they are now “the base”), they have fallen into a vortex of nihilism and desperation. They’re almost a lock to win the House in 2022, but they’re not sure why they want it, other than to protect themselves both from having to live among their own constituents and the slow but steady approach of justice for GOP involvement in January 6.

As USA Today columnist Jill Lawrence pointed out this morning, the Republicans are determined to impeach Biden because they have no other play—even if it’s not what voters want. It’s what enough of their voters want, and it will make sufficient noise to cover their lack of a plan to govern the country.
One might have hoped, however—and by one, I mean “me”—that the Democrats would hold their fire and stop their whispering about what happens if Biden steps down, or even dies. And if Biden does hold on—well, there are some prominent young Democrats who haven’t decided if they’re going to support him. (And by young Democrats, I mean “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.”)

My suspicion is that the full weight of our foreign and domestic crises has not broken through the self-absorption and solipsism of not only our political parties but the American public. We are just not capable of understanding that at home, we are inches away from the meltdown of our constitutional system of government, and abroad, we are one errant cruise missile away from a nuclear crisis.

But this is all the president’s fault because Joe Biden is old and talks like … well, like Joe Biden.

This is part of a more general problem in American politics: We have come to regard the presidency as a temporary appointment to Superman, and the White House as a gleaming Fortress of Solitude full of potential miracles. In doing so, we let ourselves off the hook for any responsibility either for our own actions as voters, or for any requirement to face our problems together with resilience and understanding.

They keep bringing up impeaching Biden but that'll never get off the ground. I guess the GOP could tease it as a way to distract from their lack of activity anywhere else.
