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

 

[1Tonka_Truck]

despite being a former governor, is a bit of a stretch.

He was governor for all of six months and was stabbed in the back by a lot of people on the way out. That is the entirety of his political career.

The criminal investigation into Greitens ended with a former fedboi being indicated on felony perjury and evidence tampering and one of Soros' pet DA's being permanently disbarred. Make of this of what you will.

Not quite related to Biden but think it should fit in here.

America First Legal, Trumpian group done by Stephen Miller, is setting up an initiative to represent victims of Equity and Inclusion policies.

He's been up to similar stuff for a while now to help annoy Biden and his admin's attempts to instituting racist policies.

Unironically my favorite Jew.

508 days, the 10th shortest in Missouri history.

So when his latest scandal involves his ex-wife's "sworn affidavit" mentioning him beating the shit out of her and their two sons, and her keeping quiet about it because of his poltical clout, I have to be the apathetic and monstrous person that I am as Farmer, and press X to doubt.

Barely two years as governor with no prior involvement in government, with a legislature that hated his guts, a then-attorney general who became senator in 2018 who hates him more, and a poltical establishment against him; he openly said he isn't voting McConnell for leader in late 2021. And he's gonna use that "clout" to end his ex-wife? I'd laugh in his face if it were me. He's almost still green!

Greitens is steamed that his poltical journey got axed so quickly, and by his own party too (Many such cases). He obviously has a lot of axes to grind.

Christ, talk about a self-own.

Well, they're already preparing the ground for if the fortification doesn't go through. MUH RUSSIA.
The scenario doesn't even make sense. Why wouldn't they just do it covertly to make sure that the candidates they want win with them suffering minimal blowback? Russians aren't mustache-twirling villains out of comics and cartoons. What would the Russian government do after this, tie damsels to railroad tracks?

Wait, wh- why would Russia openly claim credit for something like that? "Lol we hacked ur voting lists" has to be one of the most... ass-tarded things I could think of to boast about. Christ, the Dems really do think Putin is a moustache-twirling idiot. I mean, yeah, judging by how well his little adventure into Ukraine is going its obvious he's nowhere near as smart as he thought he was, but the moustache-twirling is just assuming far too much, even for a former glow-in-the-dark KGB slavnigger.

Sounds like an easy enough way to get some false flaggers to act up in key districts.

 

[General Disarray]

They literally, to this day, claim that some sort of Russian Psychic Weapon caused the disconnected Voting machines to count the votes for Trump instead of Queen Hillary, Peace Be Upon Her.

But yes, you're quite right, they've already declared that the DNC won in 2022 and 2024, so if they do lose, they're going to be genuinely shocked, and that will segway into disputing the results. They won't be able to say that there's no way the Republicans could have beat them because of the fortifications, but they'll take the obvious conclusion -- the right cheated MORE -- and distill it into "The GOP stole the election. (While we were stealing it.)"

And this is why Obama allowing American propaganda to be used against Americans should have been overturned by Trump immediately upon taking office.

Note that the Texan policy isn't anti-bike or anti-transit, but rather they don't support improving cycling or transit at the expense of drivers. There is no conflict with building bike trails and pedestrian bridges and even rail lines, provided that they don't try to socially engineer people out of cars and make drivers subsidize other methods like other states like California do.

Explicitely no, but there's an implicit problem with transportation policy all over North America, which is downstream from the land use policies that have been in vogue since the 67s. I didn't realise, until recently, that the whole American angst about suburbs vs cities is down to the fact that you literally only have a choice between enormous, overcrowded, apartment tower hellscapes, or single family zoned suburbs (often with minimum lot sizes and set-back rules) that require a car to get anywhere. Any attempt to build mass transit is destined to fail in that situation, because it's all too spread out.

When I think of suburbs, I think of places that are pretty much self-contained villages or towns, with local shops, regular bus routes, and most useful things within walking distance. I live in a quiet area with low crime and easy access to two motorways, which was built in the 70s specifically as a suburb of the nearest city, but it's nothing like the suburbs Americans usually describe. I have a nice garden, a reasonably sized house, room for two cars, but also a bunch of shops and my GP and dentist within walking distance. Of course, I don't visit the latter because I've got a stereotype to maintain, but even so...

The whole anti-car pro-car thing is a red herring, when the real issue is that your current infrastructure is built to be almost anti-human in its scope and structure.

DC is showing it cannot deliver justice fairly and should be a campaign issue for both Trump and the GOP Congress.

Chief of staff for this faggot:



Was caught defacing the posters outside MTG's office. There's evidence on camera of him doing it, and Capitol Police said there should be criminal charges but the DC US Attorneys, the same ones busting down doors of people who walked the Capitol, won't press charges.

Well, you kinda just said it yourself. You're not thinking of suburbs, you're thinking of villages or towns. Suburbs are different from villages and towns.

but it's nothing like the suburbs Americans usually describe.

Yeah, because they're different.
America has villages and towns too. They're probably not as prevalent since we're a fuck ton larger than whichever country you live in, but they still exist. Minus the bus routes, to be fair.

 

[teriyakiburns]

Well, you kinda just said it yourself. You're not thinking of suburbs, you're thinking of villages or towns.

Except I'm not. Like I said, where I live was built specifically as a suburb for the city I live near. It has a lot of cookie-cutter housing, but also shops and amenities within walking distance, a mix of other housing types (except those awful apartment towers), and good transportation links to the city, because it was designed that way. It doesn't even have a name.

It's a linguistic restriction, I think. Your social discourse has artificially restricted the meaning of "suburb" down to "single family unit zoned area", when it really means any sub-urban (whence the name) area that is connected to, and primarily oriented toward an urban core, while still being separate from it. Your zoning laws seemingly don't allow the sort of mixed use development that is normal in most of the developed world, because you've reached this idea that a suburb must only be a place for large, single family housing that is entirely separate from everything else. The knock-on effect is that everything has to be reachable by car, because that sort of low density, single-purpose environment provides no amenities within walking distance and isn't easily served by mass transit.

The closest local comparison to your suburbs that I can think of are council housing estates, but even those usually have a couple of little rows of shops and a few parks and such, and fairly extensive bus routes. They're not just endless housing.

What's the issue? We like to keep the riffraff out. We actually prefer the low density single family zoning, tyvm.

And their credibility further sinks....

I don't know man. When I see some people online talk about suburbs, they seem to be talking about row after row after row after row of houses and literally nothing else.
I live in a suburb. From my front door, I can walk to the park 0.2 miles away (300 meters for everyone else). My nearest grocery store is an unfathomable one mile away. If you had to walk because you didn't have a car for whatever reason, you could walk there and back. Wouldn't be the quickest walk, but you easily could. Just cross one cross walk, and walk the entire way there on the paved sidewalk.
If you're dead set on taking the bus, or walking only 2 minutes to the grocery store and the park and the dentist and the drycleaners and the wherever the fuck else, then yeah. Suburbs suck. If you're like the vast majority of Americans, just drive your car.

It's such a simple concept that is so difficult for those of a more....European...mindset to comprehend.

 

[Seventh Star]

He took losses but overall he seems to have gained a lot of territory and population to offset them. I'm not sure if it really went as badly as it seems.

500 miles is massive in Europe, 500 years is massive in America.

Russians have been demonized by the Anglosphere since the Great Game of the 1800s and Democrats, who usually are Anglophiles, picked up that rhetoric real good.

Though this will destroy relations under any now and future Democrat administration unless Trump wins in 2024.

They really are butthurt at the Bear for not following King Nigger's foreign policy edicts.
