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

 

[MrJokerRager]

How does one challenge a SCOTUS ruling? They're gonna do something stupid, it's gonna be shot down, either by their courts, the appeals court, the supreme court of California, or the SCOTUS. Are they trying to set up a "well there's no pleasing you" situation where they can claim a moral justification to ignore SCOTUS?

They use weasel words and other forms of backdoor sneaky malicious retardation if Californian shitlibs in charge of the state have shown anything.

A lot of morons in this state keep saying "gun control is racist" but will vote for many 2A hating Democrats to the state legislature and many of them won't lift a finger to save 2A rights either other than "gun control is racist because muh Republicans in the 1960s with the Mulford Act" not realizing Newsom has expanded it and even praised Reagan for that recently.

And then is of course the 9th circuit, the biggest reason why Clarence Thomas went hard in his opinion. How have been using that 2 step approach for about a decade now and time will tell over what new retardation they will come up with, to defy SCOTUS since iirc they hold the record for most slapdowns.

GCC and OPEC are bullshitting. They could produce more and just don't want to.

Man if only America could be energy independent and not be held to the whims of Goatfucking Sand Nigger Kangz.

IF ONLY THAT WERE A POSSIBLITY.

 

[The Ugly One]

they cant, they need western tech for drilling and for refineries.

if only there were some other country not aligned with America that knew how to drill wells and build refineries

Russia needs western tech and expertise to exploit their own resources, and they have since they were the Soviet Union.

It's primary day in NY. We will see if NY will actually get rid of Hochul or be stupid enough to keep her

"Russia's economy will collapse without America's help," says increasingly nervous man for the 37th time this year.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Stiff new U.S. sanctions against Russia would only have a limited impact on its oil industry because it has drastically reduced its reliance on Western funding and foreign partnerships and is lessening its dependence on imported technology.

o shit o fuk

I've literally never heard of the other two, so I doubt Hochul will lose today unfortunately.

Damn, it's a shame that the Senate Sergeant at Arms who was in charge of the security at the Capitol on Jan 6 died yesterday...

Goddamn did the coof made him slim down? is that just the angle and because he's standing? that's a CONSIDERABLE amount of weight loss, its actually a bit worrying

Not being in charge of the country 24/7 for 4 years in a row anymore did it too.

"Russia's economy will collapse without America's help," says increasingly nervous man for the 37th time this year.

Where did I say that? I'm sure if the Saudi's get friendly with the Russkies, they'll have all they need. But historically, since the days of the great Red Bear, they've needed western technology and expertise in the extraction of their resources.

 

[The Ugly One]

Where did I say that?

When you said this:

Russia needs western tech and expertise to exploit their own resources,

Russia's economy depends on resource extraction, and if they can't do that without America's help, their economy will collapse. But, they've been requiring less and less help since 2014, when we hit them with sanctions in revenge for them not supporting our Euromaidan coup and handing over the keys to Sevastopol.

Poorly worded on my part. Like I said later, historically they have needed... And like I also said, I'm sure the Saudi's or someone else would be glad to step up. I'm not one of those retards that gets all jingoistic and emotionally invested in this shit. I just pointed to a historical trend, and also gave the caveat that it could change.

Thanks, I understand what you meant much better now. I do have to wonder though, after getting the black population on a leash like that, why did the Democrats feel the need to bring the Latinos in waves to keep their voting base strong? They have their own path towards integration but there's only so much that the pre-existing society can do to accept them. It wouldn't be out of the question that blacks and Latinos will soon have to compete for a space, which would create more problems and racial animosity. It just doesn't make sense to me. But then again, there's things liberals do that we will never be able to make sense of anyway.

"the democrats" aren't a monolith, and it's not just democrats who want cheap labor

 

[Mr Bunny]

"the democrats" aren't a monolith, and it's not just democrats who want cheap labor

Aye it's the Republicans that wanted the cheap labour,Democrats wanted the cheap votes.

The point is that as Russia builds its capability to drill and refine oil (Russians are actually testing out homegrown fracking technology now), America's ability to jerk around the Saudis or whomever because we alone have the tech needed to actually do anything useful with oil starts to dissipate. USA says you can't have an oil well? Okay, call up Russia. The Russian well might be kind of shitty compared to American tech (okay, this is certain), but at least you can get it, and if it works well enough...

Washington's ability to control other governments depends on its ability to impoverish them and stage a domestic revolutions. One of the most ironic outcomes of the USA's race to move all manufacturing to China and the 2014 Russia sanctions is we're not nearly as good at the first thing as we used to be, and if we've lost a lot of credibility on that second front after failing to oust Assad.

The real irony of the 21st century is how the script flipped from the 20th. Moscow is far less interested in controlling your country's politics and ideology than Washington is.

 

[mold]

Aye it's the Republicans that wanted the cheap labour,Democrats wanted the cheap votes.

it cracks me the fuck up that people think this was some kind of long term strategy. it wasn't even a 5 year plan. the people running all this shit are RETARDED FOR REAL.

 

[AnotherPleb]

Aye it's the Republicans that wanted the cheap labour,Democrats wanted the cheap votes.

And both sides are too cheap to look out for working class Americans.

 

[mold]

As are most kiwis here.

I'd like to say that I'm a 90s *libertarian* but then I have to remind myself how much degeneracy was involved

Most of our shittiest politicians are in their early to mid 80's. It's very unlikely people like Feinstein and Pelosi will be around in five years.

Pelosi might be but she won't be working. It's unlikely Feinstein will be around in 5 months.

I remember those people in their prime, meeting Feinstein when she was mayor of SF is my first political memory. Their refusal to let go of power in their decrepitude is criminal.

It was long-term strategy for Congressman Emanuel Celler. He was a Communist sympathizer and wanted to destabilize US demographics, and continued to pursue this well past the point he would live to see the results.

yeah I actually believe this, the longterm Moscow-directed plan to destablize the US, but that's the thing, it only worked so well in the US because of mass political retardation (in the UK it worked so well because they're faggots)

I wouldn't exactly trust Russian tech, and surely wouldn't buy it for something like oil refinement. "From the creators of The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant" just isn't a very good tagline for your oil refinery.
