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

 

[northstar747]

The idiots seriously thought they could flip a switch and have the economy come back on.

Sure all they had to do was tone down the covid hysteria.

The problem was that covid was too good a tool for both the media faction, and for grabing power.

They would hind behind the BBB plan for stimulating the economy.

The afghan and Ukraine shit was not planned.

And who could for see energy problems. lol.

Happy PRIDE month, patriots!
U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

The cost of the election fraud machine is far, far greater than the -total- sent to ukraine. The small kickbacks would be so minuscule as to be worthless.

How much money do you think it's possible for them to skim from Ukraine relief funds? I imagine it may be more difficult since other NATO countries are involved, they expect X amount of aid to Ukraine from the US since they're also giving some amount of aid, and they have some ability to determine whether the amount of aid the US claims to give is significantly different from what's actually making it to the country.

 

[Gehenna]

A shocking amount if they really wanted to. Plenty of holes money can fall into, and its not like most countries would -really- call out the US.

Biden admin just went on CNN and said global uniparty power is more important than the people of America being able to live.

You people are not liberals. Stop it.

 

[SouthernBitchBob]

The fed reserve said inflation is TRANSitory so we're good. We're on the cuspe of a big gain in the market. Just ignore what Powell and Yellen said recently.

Inflation is trans? No wonder the democrats are protecting it in defiance of all sense. I hope that means it has a 41% chance to end all by itself.

 

[anti SJW]

Every day at that White House is Weekend at Bernies. Only in the movie Bernie was more alert and functional than Biden.

 

[Snekposter]

Mostly IOUs, alongside tilting heavily into the coffers of every earmarked pork barrel spending and a ton of personal funds by politicians.

If it could be tapped, it was. This is why BBB was so god damned important and why it failing led to so much screeching and is why they are still trying desperately to find ways to revive it.

So... just how broke are they? If they spent hundreds of billions of dollars nationwide, emptying the coffers of everyone who could chip in and using god knows how much borrowed money... I'm wondering how long its going to take the Dems to become relevant, or even if they'll stay intact instead of fragmenting and a third party takes their place. Biden is toast, and not even 2020 levels of fortifying (that they cannot even think about repeating) will save the Dems come 2024 as a result of everything he's said and more importantly everything he will say in the next two years.


(FFS doomers, an attack ad of Joe Biden saying he's a mainstream Democrat and then an immediate cut to him saying he doesn't consider drunk driving a felony is going to crater the Dems in certain areas. And we've got two more years of ever-increasing senility before we hit the 2024 elections.)

How broke is up for debate. They are laundering as much money as possible but the directions of it remain clouded. Not tot he fraud machine, that's for sure. Also not to their personal pocket books. They are definitely in debt, and -heavily- so. But the problem is that debt is a debt of favours. The people who shelled out aren't expecting a monetary kickback in most cases, but for the Dems to be able to make good on promises. They cannot, and those are just going to stay in debt. The bits they have laundered then are probably being funnelled back to anything which lets them maintain basic functionality and... not much else.

No, that means 59% inflation is the target number.

Its interesting that you're money disappear but not where, or where its resurfacing. To me that implies whatever spending they're doing is highly limited, and its mostly staying inside their private coffers. What I'm getting is that the monetary debts they've incurred haven't quite yet been repaid in full, in addition to the political debts which are permanently in arrears. Is that correct?

Correct on the political debts. Not quite correct on the monetary debts. Its not that they are out of debt but that you seem to misunderstand. They aren't really paying those off as best as I can tell. Rather its all going to... not quite personal coffers, but more accurately Democrat coffers in general. As in the party, not individual democrats.

Organizations like the DNC were already in debt when Hillary ran, and only got more so when Biden did. If the DNC is rendered non-functional due to lack of money it means they lose all ability to run... basically any organized campaigns nationally. So, that appears to be where the money is going. To the DNC and to the many, many smaller organizations which run the Democrat apparatus.

Or, in short, its not going to debts its going to keep the lights on. Just not enough money going around to go to debts.

Christ, that's worse than I thought it was for the Democrats then. I didn't realize they were that in the hole the money laundering was just to keep the basic necessities going. I knew that after the double-whammy of Obama and Clinton both sucking the DNC dry they were barely afloat, but I was assuming they had enough "legitimate" funding to keep the lights on.

Jesus tittyfucking Christ. This guy just said the quiet part out loud, on national TV, with no shame or hesitation. "We don't care if America's people suffer, as long as we get our way." It's not even the first time this guy has said something outrageously stupid on TV.

How is it that blatant incompetence is never punished in the Biden admin? I think that's the thing that really gets me. In every admin I recall, when major figures in the admin fuck up terribly on the national stage, they get shitcanned. In the Biden admin, incompetence is ignored.

I understand some of the perceived "incompetence" is either exactly what they were asked to do (Mayorkas waving every migrant across the border) or covering for Biden's own personal massive fuck-ups (Austin and Milley essentially testifying after Afghanistan that Biden himself had made the costly choices that fucked it up, against their advice).

But how do you explain not firing Granholm for laughing maniacally at the idea of helping with high gas prices in a national interview? How does this guy not get canned for "HURR DURR who cares about Americans as long as the elite's interests are protected"? These are immediate firings in any other admin, because a normal politician understands that optics matter. Even if you don't give a shit that your constituents are suffering, you and your minions are supposed to pretend like you care. Biden either has no concern for optics or can no longer decipher them; either way, not good.

I guarantee that people notice this and it's a significant part of why he has historically bad approval.

The economy was supposed to spring back to full force once lockdowns were stopped.

Am I missing something? Unless I've forgotten the entirety of 2021, lockdowns were still being enacted (and all over the world at that) well after Geriatric Joe was in.

How's an economy supposed to spring back up with all that?

Jesus tittyfucking Christ. This guy literally said the quiet part out loud, on national TV, with no shame or hesitation.

"We don't care if America's people suffer, as long as we get our way." It's not even the first time this guy has said something outrageously stupid on TV.

How is it that absolute incompetence is never punished in the Biden admin? I think that's the thing that really gets me. In every admin I recall, when major figures in the admin fuck up terribly on the national stage, they get shitcanned. In the Biden admin, incompetence is ignored.

They dont give a fuck about us. They don't care the mask is slipping or that you're noticing. They think they can fraud vote into eternity

In most places the lockdowns done by state governments started being lifted in about March last year. But then you still had random businesses wanting to do masking and random places requiring vaccines.

So for some people things opened up completely as soon as Joe got in, while for others they had the release of the lockdowns dragged out throughout the whole year.

Though regardless of all that, the economy was still rigged to fail thanks to regulations fucking with domestic oil, layoffs resulting in poor maintenance at a variety of businesses like food plants (further driving up food costs), and it probably doesn't help that rent went up for tons of people thanks to Rona policies keeping people from being evicted which fucked up the rental housing market. So even if everyone was earning the exact same as pre-Rona, they'd still be feeling the economy was complete shit as gas, food, and rent costs all went up.

Seems like pretty much everyone in the government ignored how lockdowns were fucking up various industries because they could still order DoorDash and do Zoom meetings, so everything from their angle was going just fine.

Edit:
Got curious about the Liberal World Order comment from earlier.

https://www.newsweek.com/joe-biden-liberal-world-order-gas-oil-prices-brian-deese-viral-video-cnn-1720878

Apparently it was related to Biden and the media acting like gas prices are high mostly because of Russia, which is also kinda retarded given Russia's resources are still being sold on the international market and so would still be affecting the value of oil.

Biden could loosen regulations, allow the pipeline, and allow more permits for drilling to bring the price down at least some, but they find it easier to just blame Russia.

If Trump was more savvy, like if he was a multinational real estate investment tycoon billionaire or something, he could be reaching out to people the DNC owes favors to and cutting deals.

"They aren't ever gonna be able to get you what you want. They're idiots, and they just keep screwing it up. They have no idea how business is ran and you can see that with the economy numbers. But if you can make your interests align with mine and America's, we can talk. And we can arrange it so you won't even have to hide it -- the American people will cheer you on for it."

Seems like pretty much everyone in the government ignored how lockdowns were fucking up various industries because they could still order DoorDash and do Zoom meetings, so everything from their angle was going just fine.

Yes, the email caste has absolutely no idea how life is ran outside of the bugman hives. The idea that $7 a gallon gas might fuck over an entire town, or that forcing businesses to shut down in person locations for 18+ months might actually prevent those businesses from running and certainly make it impossible to restart afterwards, or that people in the flyover regions might not want to dedicate the destruction of entire regions of their towns to ghetto-zoos to keep the DNC's favorite pets "happy"... it's all a complete paradox to them. They literally can't grasp the idea that people might need to drive for 45 minutes just to get to a grocery store, or that you can't just replace in person meetings with zoom meetings in every instance.

Note that none of this will ever stop them, EVER, from trying to dictate just how your life should be ran outside of the hives, mind you. Remember, they're the elites, they know better than you, and if you disagree with them, since they are, by definition and identity, "good" and "smart" that means that you must, by the Negative Property of Multiplication, be "evil" and "stupid." And good people don't debate with evil, or leave evil to it's own devices.

Good people destroy evil, and get cheered on by the adoring masses for doing so.

Hahaha

The Glowies would honey pot trump so fast, and media would scream, while the people he was cutting deals with would turn on him.

Also the fact trump cut out the lobbyists and stopped business as usual. means he wouldnt try to do things that way.
