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

 

[JohnDoe]

I am on the opposite side of the posts here. I don't think this was part of any plan. Too many sloppy bits that don't align with intentionally being so. No, what I think this -will- be is a wakeup call to alot of politicians. That maybe, just maybe, they don't have as good a grip on the people as they think they do.

There aren't enough rainbows in the world to express the optimism here. The current power politicians pulling a Principal Skinner are so deep in their self delusions that the only way it ends is Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge style.

No, what I think this -will- be is a wakeup call to alot of politicians. Tat maybe, just maybe, they don't have as good a grip on the people as they think they do.

If it has any effect at all, they'll try to grip harder because clearly, what they're doing now isn't breaking the plebs' spirits effectively enough!

 

[thismanlies]

How much you want to bet Biden is going to confuse Shinzo Abe with Abe Lincoln?

I knew Abe. We used to call him Honest Abe because he ah... you know... the thing with the war where we nuked Japan to end slavery.

White House: President Biden to sign order on abortion access

President Joe Biden will take executive action Friday to protect access to abortion, the White House said, as he faces mounting pressure from fellow Democrats to be more forceful on the subject after the Supreme Court ended a constitutional right to the procedure two weeks ago.

The White House said Biden will speak Friday morning “on protecting access to reproductive health care services.” The actions he was expected to outline are intended to try to mitigate some potential penalties women seeking abortion may face after the ruling but are limited in their ability to safeguard access to abortion nationwide.

Biden is expected to formalize instructions to the Departments of Justice and Health and Human Services to push back on efforts to limit the ability of women to access federally approved abortion medication or to travel across state lines to access clinical abortion services.

Biden’s executive order will also direct agencies to work to educate medical providers and insurers about how and when they are required to share privileged patient information with authorities - an effort to protect women who seek or utilize abortion services. He will also ask the Federal Trade Commission to take steps to protect the privacy of those seeking information about reproductive care online and establish an interagency task force to coordinate federal efforts to safeguard access to abortion.

The White House said it will also convene volunteer lawyers to provide women and providers with pro bono legal assistance to help them navigate new state restrictions after the Supreme Court ruling.

The order, after the high court’s June 24 ruling that ended the nationwide right to abortion and left it to states to determine whether or how to allow the procedure, comes as Biden has faced criticism from some in his own party for not acting with more urgency to protect women’s access to abortion. The decision in the case known as Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization overturned the court’s landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling.

Since the decision, Biden has stressed that his ability to protect abortion rights by executive action is limited without congressional action.

“Ultimately, Congress is going to have to act to codify Roe into federal law,” Biden said last week during a virtual meeting with Democratic governors.

The tasking to the Justice Department and HHS is expected to push the agencies to fight in court to protect women, but it conveys no guarantees that the judicial system will take their side against potential prosecution by states that have moved to outlaw abortion.

“President Biden has made clear that the only way to secure a woman’s right to choose is for Congress to restore the protections of Roe as federal law,” the White House said. “Until then, he has committed to doing everything in his power to defend reproductive rights and protect access to safe and legal abortion.”

1. The "abortion meds access* bit all but confirms they're essentially planning to traffic substances to facilitate illegal activity through the mail, something which is a violation of already existing laws. Should be struck down and anyone engaging in it should be prosecuted as any other drug dealer would be.

2. If babykillers want to travel to different states to practice infanticide there's no constitutional grounds for stopping them and I don't recall many if any states indicating they planned to try so this is just more virtue signalling faggotry

Never let a good crisis go to waste. Even if it's not even tangentially related to what you want done.

 

[The Ugly One]

You have got to be kidding me. Voting in an election or serving on a jury when you are a non-US citizen is grounds for having your legal status revoked and barring you from citizenship. What is this clown world shit?

The Voting Rights Act bars any voting rules that are implicitly designed to keep racial minorities away from the polls. Since racial minorities overwhelmingly are responsible for various types of criminal election fraud, what this has in practice meant is that liberal judges have used racism as a pretext for slapping down election security measures. In practice, anti-discrimination law tends to put the burden of proof on the accused, so that's why you've seen Republicans expend such enormous effort to prove that requiring voters to show ID to vote is not racist.

Your beliefs are understandable, but let me fill you in on something.

Politicians, even most of the 'pro-gun' ones, have -no idea- how guns work or how easy they are to manufacture. I have had multiple politicians tell me, to my face, that it is impossible for a gun to be made without sophisticated manufacturing and that therefore it is impossible for regular people to make guns. They legitimately, honestly believe this.

And now one of theirs, sure across an ocean but one of theirs, just got killed by a fucking pipegun. And while these people are evil and ignorant they are not stupid. They now get to consider, really consider, that getting guns and killing them wouldn't be as hard as they thought it would be.

It wasn't a "constitutional right" it wasn't even a fucking law for fucks sake. It was a 50 year old mistake of an interpretation.

Jesus.

They really have no idea how such things were made prior to the Industrial Revolution. Hell, fireworks are easy to buy even in states with strong gun control laws. Now, I don't know how hard it would be to extract the gunpowder, but from there, well, you know.

You think the last political assassination Japan had would've taught something at the time that'd stay.

 

[Ruin]

The gun control narratives are going to be interesting now that the former Japanese PM was assassinated by a low level Fallout 4 raider in virtually impossible to buy a gun Japan.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Now those sales of SPR oil to, among others, China make a bit of sense:

Biden's Energy Department in April announced the sale of 950,000 Strategic Petroleum Reserve barrels to Unipec, the trading arm of the China Petrochemical Corporation. That company, which is commonly known as Sinopec, is wholly owned by the Chinese government. The Biden administration claimed the move would "address the pain Americans are feeling at the pump" and "help lower energy costs."...Biden's son, Hunter Biden, is tied to Sinopec. In 2015, a private equity firm he cofounded bought a $1.7 billion stake in Sinopec Marketing. Sinopec went on to enter negotiations to purchase Gazprom in March, one month after the Biden administration sanctioned the Russian gas giant.

Prediction: Government will double-down on their paranoia. Will probaboy force all states to do what NY is currently doing. Worst case scenario, they will use this to go full ham on turning the USA into bongland.

Yes, keep utilizing the executive agencies as a workaround to Supreme Court decisions instead of passing legislation. Piss off the Court enough to actually take an axe to the Fourth Branch in the next few sessions. West Virginia vs. the EPA was meant as a warning, idiots.
I swear nobody making decisions in this admin is capable of thinking things through past the next few months.

Joe Biden probably doesn't have more than a few months in his current state. He must be able to feel the Grim Reaper right behind him everywhere he goes at this point.

1. If he's just not going to prosecute this federally, that might be in the discretion of the executive.
2. Some states have signaled they will go after people leaving to get abortions, but, like you said, there's no way that'll pass constitutional muster. Texas might actually already have the law tho.
