US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and his parade of failures

the absolute mad lad actually did it

Let it not be said I am any more immune to boomer memes than our favorite soviet dictator.

before twitter, when boomers had to carve shitposts out of rocks and raise them up with dinosaurs

also from Heroman, circa #fukobeme administration, a show set in the slightly near future in the USA, this is the president and possible animu proof of The Brandon Phase of the cycle

So Musk and Trump had a falling out, it seems. I genuinely wonder why?

musk kisses winnie the pooh's ass
he's just had a personal bug up his butt about twitter for some coke reasons

Did the Biden threads get merged or is this just a a new direction for the thread?

Also, my boomer dad sent me this.

 

[pwnest injun]

I kinda wish Trump had gone that far. If nothing else for the keks to be had.
But then again, he'd need support from the GOP.
The PRD had Obrador's back to the point that they were genuinely trying to prevent then-president-elect Felipe Calderon to take oath of office, even having PRD coming to physical blows with PAN senators inside the senate.
Though in the end Calderon got to say his oath in a rushed version as PRD politicians coped impotently and used cheap whistles to drown him out. It was fucking hilarious.

That high pitched ring is not shitty audio; it's the whistles and jeers meant to distract Calderon or at the very least make it so he can't be heard.
Those cheers from those on his side are not because he was so fucking beloved (Calderon is a meme in Mexico at this point and akin to Bush Jr in that he spent a fuckton of money and lives on a pointless war with the cartels [pointless because the military and political elite were deep in business with the cartels at that point and was being purposely useless, knowing full well they weren't about to let a payday go to waste], and today he's known best for being a drunkard cuck), it's just the conservatives rubbing it in the DemSoc's faces; "Your cheap toys and pathetic blows didn't do shit! Seethe beaner, seethe!"


Edit: Actually the more I think about it, taco bureaucrats do love throwing hands.

I just wonder if AMLO's poor opinion of Biden could be influenced by the parallels between that 2006 election and 2020, and how every J6/insurrection bloviation might as well be aimed in Obrador's direction.

At this point I'd rather $1.7 billion turn into $5 checks for every American. Seeing Zelensky use this to just censor everything in the country and remove opposition, and then the reports of the Ukraine military listing soldiers as missing or deserted so they won't pay the families, we're about to see Zelensky run off to Zurich or Monte Carlo because he just needs more "safety" to lead la resistance.

Zelensky can't run away. When the war kicked off, it was widely rumored that Biden and others offering support to Zelensky made it clear that ANY support was contingent on Zelenksy staying put in Ukraine and fighting to the death.

Presumably because the second Zelensky flees, the rest of the Ukraine government will cut a surrender deal with Putin and hand over territory and ALL of the corruption proof that they have on Biden's family and god knows how many other politicians. And that the proof apparently isn't in one neat little place/package that Zelensky can take with him to deny Putin access to it or to torch it on his way out so that Putin won't be able to get ahold of it after he flees.

At this point, I would not be shocked if Putin has most of the damning proof to burn Biden and company down but doesn't have the smoking gun needed to make his proof irrefutable. And the proof is probably some institutional computer system or filing system that is so utterly integral to the running of the country that you can't just destroy it without destroying Ukraine's basic infrastructure. And I would not be shocked if Zelensky is secretly barely holding onto power at this point (hence his recent moves to wipe out opposition) and knows that his subordinates would rather take their chances with a humiliating surrender and handing over the system Putin needs to have access to in order to provide irrefutable proof of Biden and son's corruption to destroy them. So he can't run no matter how much he wants to run, like the coward he is.

Neither, name is just more accurate to what we actually talk about in here.

Keith Olbermann is like Alex Jones if Alex Jones was on the side of the interdimensional child raping alien demons.

Olberman hasn't been the same mentally since the one-two punch of his pet dyke Rachel Maddow backstabbing him and then Al Gore/Current TV front stabbing him in the eye socket giallo style.

Olbermann knows he's been SWATted like 25 times int he past 6 mo...

Oh who am I kidding? Keith doesn't even know what livestreaming is and if he did he'd absolutely support someone from the wrong tribe almost being murdered.

Olberman hasn't been the same mentally since the one-two punch of his pet dyke Rachel Maddow backstabbing him and then Al Gore/Current TV front stabbing him in the eye socket giallo style.

He should have realized what was up when they literally turned off the power at Current TV in the middle of a fucking broadcast. In another universe, Olbermann jumped ship to Youtube streaming before his clout was used up fighting that losing battle and is now the undisputed ruler of Breadtube, pulling in hundreds of thousands of live viewers a week on streams.

Saying Current TV stabbed him is not doing it justice. This is the same organization that said, and I quote:

"[Current TV] was created in the spirit of respect, openness, collegiality, and loyalty to our viewers. Unfortunately these values are no longer reflected in our relationship with Keith Olbermann and we have ended it."

To call this a very politely worded "Go fuck yourself with a cactus" is to understate it. Its outright saying that Olbermann was neither respectful, truthful, nor even sort cognenial to his viewers... or the channel itself.

Hence my comment about being stabbed in the eye socket like a murder victim in a giallo. Unlike our quaint American Slasher films, in a giallo you get stabbed in the motherfucking eye with NO cutting away from the gore as the sharp pointy end of the blade pierces the eyeball and goes straight into the brain for the kill as far as the entire act taking place on camera with a close up zoom of the gore in all of it's graphic detail. All the while the person stabbing the victim is screaming "THE COLORS! THE COLORS!!!!!!!!" like a psycho-sexual madman.

I used to watch him before he moved to Current, I guess the reason he left MSNBC was Maddow fucked him over somehow? What was Current's problem with him?

Dude is a grade A prima donna. Constantly demanding special attention, blowing up even the slightest inconvenience into a slight on himself, picking fights with anyone and everyone while also unleashing a holier-than-thou attitude onto everyone else.

Tucker showed this today on his show, what Nancy Pelosi was up to, during the 4th of July weekend.

The Supreme Court's next target is the executive branch​

Spoiler

Illustration: Lindsey Bailey/Axios

Battles over the federal government's power will likely define a lot of the conservative Supreme Court's future.

The big picture: Abortion has been the single biggest animating force in the conservative legal movement for decades. Now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade — sooner than some advocates expected — other long-term projects will absorb much of the right’s legal and political energy.

• That will likely include voting rights as well as a sustained effort to restrict the authority of regulatory agencies in the executive branch.

Why it matters: These cases may not always feel like blockbusters in isolation, but they can constrain federal power in ways that are almost impossible to reverse, with dramatic implications that cut across multiple policy areas.
Driving the news: Just in the past few months, the court …

• Prevented the CDC from enforcing an eviction moratorium due to COVID.
• Prevented OSHA from enforcing a vaccine mandate in workplaces.
• Prevented the EPA from carrying out some of its most aggressive proposed limits on greenhouse gasses.

Some of those issues are bigger than others, but each of those cases raised questions about overarching legal principles related to executive-branch authority.

• Taken together, it's clear which direction things are headed — the federal government is going to be able to do a lot less than it has been able to do in the past.
• But the justices are not necessarily united on the specifics of how best to get there or how far to go.

How it works: Several of the court's conservative justices are highly skeptical of “Chevron deference” — the principle that, if a particular law isn’t clear on its face, the courts will generally defer to the interpretation of the agency tasked with implementing that law.

• In striking down EPA regulations, the OSHA vaccine mandate and the CDC’s eviction moratorium, the court leaned heavily on a different but related legal test, known as the "major questions" doctrine.
• It holds that executive-branch agencies can’t rely on the general authority they’ve received from Congress in order to justify particularly sweeping actions. If Congress had intended for the CDC to be able to halt evictions all across the country, the court said, it would have needed to say so explicitly.

At the outer bound of this campaign is the "nondelegation doctrine" — a theory that Congress cannot delegate to the executive branch any of the powers the Constitution gives to Congress.

• It's not carrying the day right now, but at least three justices seem to want to bring it back. When the court struck down OSHA's vaccine mandate, Justice Neil Gorsuch — joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito — said that even if Congress had expressly given OSHA the power to impose a vaccine mandate, that likely would have been unconstitutional.

The bottom line: There are many ways for the conservative court to rein in federal agencies, and while there may not be a clear consensus on precisely which of those avenues to take at any given moment, one way or another, federal agencies exerting broad-based powers are already losing — and are almost certainly going to keep losing.

It could not be understated how much America despised Hillary:

- She thought having a vagina meant special privileges (most white women feel this way now but in the 1980s and 1990s it wasn’t as bad)
- Promoted and became the face of single payer health care in the 90s, which failed; she also fervently supported everything people generally despised outside of deep blue pockets of the country
- Became a US Senator with no political experience
- Thought it was her turn in 2008 and could not accept that she lost
- Became a senior official in the Obama administration, who used her office to curry political favors to enrich her and her husband and when things blew up around her, blamed everyone else and ran
- Lots of little stories of obvious lies she said that just got America’s teeth to grit

She is a truly and uniquely unlikeable cunt. It’s how a guy with no political experience was able to beat her in 2016. To act like there was a conspiracy to keep her from the presidency is truly laughable.

Do it Thomas, gut executive privileges. Do it.

Heres a weird parallel to joe and hillary.

Both have 8 years experience being in the white house. Both have time in the senate.

normal path to the white house would be ether from the senate or the governors mansion. Governors have administrative experience but lack political capital with the senate.

Senators would ideally have experience and political capital with the senate but not have the best admin experience.

In both cases Hilary and Joe *should* have been able to wield god tier level power. hahaha

Also Hilary hates/hated the press even when she was a governors wife. They took shots at her for not being lady like. When their daughter got married I remember the news net work just standing around outside the venue talking to a fucking hedge wall because they werent allowed in lol.

Also the way the clintons treated their daughter was just flat out child abuse

 

[The Ugly One]

Had they taken DC, they could have forced Lincoln to recognize the Confederacy as an independent state. They didn't need to occupy the North, but they then insisted on a defensive campaign and lost by attrition.

Treaties have to be ratified by the Senate or they have no force. If the South had actually made some attempt to respect the Constitution they ratified in 1783 rather than go straight to rifles and bayonets when the country elected a President they didn't like, perhaps they could have elected a President willing to negotiate terms of separation in 1864.

I just wonder if AMLO's poor opinion of Biden could be influenced by the parallels between that 2006 election and 2020, and how every J6/insurrection bloviation might as well be aimed in Obrador's direction.

The Biden admin has no concept of how diplomacy works. They think you just tell other people what to do, and they'll do it because America is Team Good Guy.
