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

 

[The Nothingness]

I'll be honest, I am surprised the Fake Inflation Reduction Bill was passed along party lines in House and Senate. Considering some Democrats may lose their seats for supporting this bill and some Republicans will be primaried that not voting for the bill won't sway their constituents. If we had an unbiased legacy media, they would hold the Democrats responsible when the shit further hits the fan because of this bill.

 

[Socrates]

You realize there's like an 85% chance this dude is an outright pedophile, right

A reminder for everyone. Disgusting freak, deserves nothing but scorn.

The 2% gap was possibly after fortification too. I really like your point here though, it is very annoying that the majority people seem to think that election rigging is an all or nothing thing. The problems become exponentially larger the more you rig. You don't want to do anymore than you have to because you have a higher chance of getting caught or doing something stupid and making a close race be a double point win out of nowhere.

Personally, I think elections have always involved cheating to some unknown degree. 2020 was just so obvious because they had to pull out all the stops to make sure biden won. The fact it was so nakedly obvious something sketchy happened is precisely why they don't just throw in a billion ballots at 2am.

I remember during the 2016 election news channels were showing footage of honda civics and box trucks showing up with 3 am ballot dumps. And then all of those articles and videos are yeeted as far as I can find.

That's exactly the point imo, he is such an obvious freak that people will want to avoid nuclear energy and trusting people like him to be in charge of it. That is my take on it. I don't think he reflects the admin wanting to do nuclear energy I think it's the opposite and they're hoping normal people are weirded out by it enough to think "maybe later".

No one in charge of this administration wants what is best for this country. If it's something actually beneficial to America you shouldn't expect Biden to support it.

Edit - as an aside, looks like a jury has awarded Roy Moore $8.2 million after it was confirmed the sexual misconduct bullshit against him was defamation by a Dem led PAC. Cross another piece of whataboutism off the list since he's one of the favorites that retarded NPCs throw up whenever Hunter or Joe's love of underage girls is brought up.

Yeah, and the entire rightwing political and media complex was so damn quick to throw Roy Moore under the bus and throw the Senate seat to a Democrat.

The allegations were about as believable as the Peetape Dossier. But Moore was an outsider, and had to be crushed.

No. Roy Moore was, is, and always has been a retard and an embarrassment so that bullshit henestly wouldn’t surprise anyone. Just because most every Democrat deserves to be {redacted} doesn’t mean you should slavishly support everyone with a R after their name. Be somewhat discerning, please.

Even if what you say is true about Moore, handing his seat to Democrat Doug Jones was not the right move, to the point of being malicious. And to be honest, I am unsure just how much of an "embarrassment" he really is to his constituents.

They want biden to advertise for a second 2024 campaign run.... the fuck are they smoking?

Need to start the money laundering early huh? I cant imagine it being for anything else .

 

[FunPosting101]

Speaking of CCW holders.

California is planning to defy SCOTUS by making a CCW hard and pointless to get.

By banning a lot of areas and requiring 3 references at minimum with the bill, authored by a fat leftist spic.

It's like they want to have the SCOTUS make constitutional carry the law of the land or some shit.

I remember when Inglorious Bastards became a "morally gray" movie to me. This has pushed it closer to black and white morality, just not in the way they would want.

Trying to bait Trump into announcing? Trying to prevent the progs from running a primary contender? Trying to complicate any sudden legal issues he has with Garland's little oopsy? Trying to prevent any upcoming calls from the cathedral to have him step down?

...does Al Franken always refer to himself in the third person?

Based on that tweet, only 33% of the time.

 

[AGreatDipAtAFairPrice]

I read an article about how the raid was golden for Joe Biden and means he should announce because he is the only person who can beat Donald Trump. That's the whole mythos with Joe Biden, it was always that with Joe Biden, even if you think he's a corrupt stooge with politics that you disagree with and he has butterscotch pudding for brains, he has this bizarre magical ability to be the only person on planet Earth who can beat Donald Trump in a presidential election, so we're Ridin' With Biden. Seeing how fishy the election was and how the country is turbofucked after 2 years of this administration makes people doubt it, but they're going to go ahead with it. I think regardless of midterm outcome he'll officially announce he's seeking the nomination again sometime around January. I used to think the Joe Biden plan was toast just on the basis of the midterms having to produce a lame duck presidency, but they'll just go even further with Ridin' with Biden. Biden puppeteers can at least say, "Who else do you got?"

It's like they want to have the SCOTUS make constitutional carry the law of the land or some shit.

If life were a game of six dimensional chess, this would be the democrats laying the groundwork for an armed antifa mob that they legally cannot disarm, no matter how antigun they push themselves to be, while providing a control mechanism of extreme punishment for use against the right (Gotta go hard since we can't ban them, sorry).

In our actual reality, its just them whining. The SC ruling made constitutional carry all but assured already - Saying the right to keep and bear arms means keep them on you is pretty all encompassing for carry as is. Trying to ban any public area blanket won't work, since the public spaces belong to the people. Trying to draw in a pile of character witnesses won't fly, as its establishing that your constitutional rights require a jury of your peers to approve when your not otherwise undergoing a legal and regulated trial. I really really really hope they try to draw carry laws on what you can carry absurdly tight though - It would force the SC to come in and at the very least slap down some absurdism in the laws, and optimistically would provide an avenue to bar a lot of specific weapon restrictions in general.

I've said this before and I'll say it again, I'm a vehement believer that civilian arms control and police arms control should be 1-1 matched. I accept the argument that ATGM's and tanks with cannons is overkill for self and property defense in all but the most absurd of situations - But my local police SWAT team has automatic rifles, grenade launchers, 50 caliber mounted weapons, and armored APC equivalents. If that is what the state has deemed as required to defend against criminal activity, I should get it to. If I do not need more than a 5 round magazine capped pistol with biometric sensors to defend myself and my property, the police force does not either.

My point overall is that throwing the endorsement to Moore at all instead of Brooks was horrible mistake ragardless of his later fuckups.

It could be a bid to maintain internal cohesion.

The King, as is the case with all leaders, must not present an air of weakness lest it prompt power schisms for succession, therein the attention and power to move from the still alive but weakened king and to the potential successors instead.
And in the case of Biden even the whiff of weakness and therein further instability from an new power structure will scare any businessmen whom aren't already slotted into partisan lines.
Effectively the goal may be to help strength the support from the Den underlings/aligned who still believe (or desperately want to believe) that Biden is just old and sure maybe a little doddery, such comes with age, but not full on suffering from dementia and all the talk about that are just the bitter theories from Trump supporters trying to undermine his term.

Biden can still exit stage right at any time even if he starts the campaign, the goal is to make it look like Biden is or at least feels like he could go another term.

Perhaps the central tacticians in the DNC are worried Biden's recent appearances are starting to undermine his authority.

In retrospect I feel this post may have been rather verbose, but that's the theory I present for the article.

Isn't this the guy Biden put in charge of nuclear development in the US who's actually pro-nuclear?
I said it before but as long as he pushes for a nuclear US im willing to let him do his job
still gonna call him a faggot tho

I’ve got an unpopular opinion on nuclear energy, so allow me to try and win this thread over:

We should not try to replace our power grid with nuclear energy. I’m glad the Democrats are staying away from it. The main issue with nuclear energy is it’s a crapshoot on a generational level, where snake eyes means a significant portion of the continent is rendered uninhabitable for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Nuclear energy hasn’t even been around for a hundred years and we’ve already had two near misses that could’ve really gone sideways (Chernobyl and Fukushima). Yes, I get that the Slavs were too retarded to boil water and yes, I get that Fukushima had a massive earthquake. The problem is every time you staff a nuclear reactor, you’re rolling the dice: they’re probably smart enough to boil water… but if they aren’t, you could say goodbye to the entire tristate area. Also, one really bad earthquake one state away could poison your state’s aquifers.

Relying on nuclear power is like spinning a roulette wheel every morning with a 99.999% chance of giving you a tasty ice cream cone and a 0.001% chance of wiping out your entire family tree. Sure, you might just enjoy tasty ice cream for years or even the rest of your life but it’s just not worth the risk in the long term.

People tend to overestimate the damage of a nuclear accident, mostly because they assume it goes off and then *nobody ever does anything about it*. The USSR just didn't give a fuck and closed Chernobyl off entirely, and even then significant portions of the affect area are already safe enough for tourism. We don't know how effective a proper, modern nuclear cleanup effort would be until we actually have reason to do so. And idiot-proof failsafes have since been developed for multiple modern reactor generations now regarding fuel dumping processes that deliberately just melt out of the reactor. The plants gonna be a problem zone, but its not gonna mushroom cloud cross the tri-state area. Short of Russian artillery strikes, your plants not gonna explode.

Beyond that, we're already seeing the first generations of small modular reactors rolling out, which provide one major disaster deterrent - there's just not much fuel in them. Short of detonating the whole thing at low flight altitudes, a failure isn't going to irradiate much past whatever building its in.

Regardless, I do agree with you about not replacing grid power with nuclear, just adding to it. Fossil Fuel capacity still plays many important roles, being simple, cheap, and most importantly, an easily spun-up fallback for high demand or reactor shutdown. The worst case scenario for a nuclear disaster includes avoiding required sustainment activities to prevent grid outages, which can pile up problems. Flipping the local natural gas plant from 20% to 100% to meet minimum demand for three weeks while you do what you gotta do makes everyones life much easier.

We don't have much options here. We either take the risk or suffer a future collapse because we couldn't switch to a more efficient energy source. Wind power, solar power, and hydro power are trash at our current technological capabilities. Some of us are going to have to die so the rest of us may live. That's the way of the world.
