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

 

[northstar747]

Yet we've spent billions on infrastructure without any of it seeming to actually go to infrastructure.

so here s the problem stuff like sewer, water, power etc. You dont really think about them untill they are gone. Worse you can have good "civic managers" who are autistic enough to make shit work, but suck and communicating to the community about the projects and shit.

The other big issue is grift. Remember Obama spent billions to pay people to improve the energy efficiency of homes and yet nothing was done? It was just grift.

Theres a thread here in A&N about british pubs not being able to stay open because of their power bill. And people imagine some plot to rob people of their pubs. When the truth is that energy demand isnt very elastic. You cant just print paper energy. Or paper water.

Like in the central valley where they grow almonds almond tress need water year around if you cant not water them or you lose them. Paper water can be used for shit like tomatoes because you can just grow less or not grow at all for a season.

The big grift is Green energy, You have predatory financing for the solar panels on people homes, you have alot of games that can be played with land leases for big arrays, contacts can be handed out, so much room for grift and the best part is you have paper energy sure there are days where the wind doesnt blow or the sun doesnt shine, but fuck just fire up a power plant using russian gas, or coal from somewhere else, and fudge numbers to make the green paper energy work.

Now I fucking love nuclear power, you get no CO2, the energy density is fucking great, Now the US built a reactor in 2016 and the one before that in the early 1990s The US should and could build a newer fleet of reactors but there just isnt the room for grifting you have only a hand full of companies that can do the work.

What any country needs is to understand that they need a good functional foundation so shit work with nice margin for tolerance and then us that base to grow shit and then grift on the top.

Good for Julie Kelly doing all this, she's one of the few good ones. 20/20 hindsight and all, he should have pardoned the people before he left, but at the time it looked like it was more violent than it was for some of them. And if he did pardon them you know Mitch the Bitch would have told enough senators to vote to convict him for impeachment. Time has shown it to be probably 10 people who actually did bad things, and were probably glowies themselves.

 

[H3llonwheels]

Getting high daily, I agree with this completely. All of my friends who were doing this in high school are burnt the fuck out. I smoked weed once when I was 18 and then didn't pozload my neghole until I was almost 40. I don't wake up hung over anymore, my quality of life has improved by a noticeable amount because I'm able to get some quality sleep at night and just fucking relax.


I recommend all Kiwis over 30 to start smoking weed a little bit. Or get an edible. You'll be okay, enjoy a little bit of life.


If you smoking weed at work, while your driving, WaKe aNd BaKe... you're a faggot.

Stoner culture is almost on par with nigger culture.

I keep 5mg edibles around as they do help with minor pains and knocks off anxiety which interferes with my sleep. Compared to the pharmaceuticals they had me on previously, these are a miracle. The big thing I notice in the dispensary is how many people are there just to get high. It is a lifestyle for them and I feel bad for them as well.

Fortunately a 60 pack of 5mg lasts me 3-4 months minimum, so it isn’t like I have to go in there often

 

[Trust Me I Know]

I learned something today. The brave, selfless, courageous leaders of the Democratic Party worked with our heroic teachers to reopen schools. The evil Republicans wanted to keep the poor, social-interaction starved children locked up at home all day, presumably to sew shoes together to line the coffers of the fat aristocrats. I hope Biden brings this up in his speech tonight, we can't let Republicans rewrite history.

 

[Scale Smerch]

While everyone waits with baited breath to find out how old Joe stumbles through this latest speech, some interesting nuggets have come out regarding big tech and social media. Remember earlier how Zuckerberg with Rogan basically stated he censored at the behest of government? Yeah they did - and it's just as involved as you might think:




You can find plenty more through the Missouri AG's office site, but this alone looks like enough to ram a First Amendment case right up Twitter's and FB's ass.

 

[Tsukasa Kadoya]

Well Biden will probably set the stage to reject the results of the midterms and of course by extension the result of the 2024 election and to lay the ground work for the arrest of Trump.

It will probably go something like 'Republicans bad actors are now known to be actually interfering with the election process to upset the democratic process. Insert phony evidence here. Something something Orange Man Bad. So we as good Americans and defenders of TRUE DEMOCRACY will have to oversee the whole election process." Cue the MSM and tech boi's to start up the "combat misinformation" routine by churning out the propaganda and 'Biden kicks GoP oversight from election committee and why this is a good thing" articles and of course the now normal censorship of "misinformation" under the pretense of "Russian interference". A few days before the midterms they'll spring a surprise warrant on Trump for some stupid charge because if they wait until he declares his campaign for 2024 it will cause even more problems.

They've been prepping this for quite a while, at least the last 5 years, so lets see if the Dem's are ready to go all out and start declaring that Republicans are now "open fascists" and to "save our democracy" Trump must go to jail and anyone openly supporting him is now an enemy of democracy and subject to the new normal of social cancellation and open censorship of opposing opinions.


Will they go this far? Probably not honestly...at least not today.

Do they want too? Hell yes they do.

I've said it before but the current generation of Democrat policy makers are desperate, stupid and overconfident which is an absolutely nuclear combination of flaws to have when 30% of your populace believes your administration stole an election. In an environment already teetering on the edge we had our Potato in Chief publicly condemning anyone who didn't "vote the right way" and tonight he's probably going to push the rhetoric even further to desperately try to pump something into the midterms consequences to the unity of the country be damned.

Dark days lay ahead but on the plus side it's always nice to be part of history being made. I just hope that when the history books are written it's not a faggot tranny groomer who gets to do it.

I hate it that I can 100% see this happening.
If a civil war does happen, the faggot dems will squeal to the UN for help.

Has there ever been a time before when a President did a prime time speech to explicitly called his political opponents shit before an election? Presidents generally tried to not be overt in influcing the legislative branch. Endorse candidates they wanted sure, campaign for them, why not. This seems new

I don't even think Trump went that far did he? So much for "healing the divide in the country"

They are being so open about their plans to commit genocide only because they think they've won 100%.
Imagine being a dem voter after the war. They will be pariahs and I do see them being hunted.
To the feds reading this thread, this was not a declaration of violence.
Also fuck off.

Y'know that photo of MAL that was spreading around twitter last few days?



This one? The one they submitted to the court as a crime scene photo of Trump's MAL residence?

HUGE BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: FBI Doctored Mar-a-Lago Photo, Added Their Own Docs to Create a Crime Scene that Didn't Exist

The FBI created a fake crime scene at Mar-a-Lago by adding their documents to the scene and doctoring the photo of the scene. This is against the law. The DOJ responded in a lawsuit by President Trump asking a judge to review the FBI raid of his iconic property Mar-a-Lago. In the DOJ’s...

www.thegatewaypundit.com

Staged. They ripped docs out of Trump's secure storage to toss them around willy nilly on the desk AND THEN added documents and cover letters from their own archives to make it look worse. FBI documents have the red/yellow/brown cover sheets, White House documents do not. And if you look closely, the cover letters are paper clipped onto the documents which are stapled together.

They had to bring in fake confidential cover letters and props to make Trump look worse. They couldn't leave well enough alone.


Oh, and they shopped the fucking photo.




Extremely badly. (Proper handling would be to use post-it notes and similar stuff to block it out. This would allow for an undoctored photo.)

Is this why they frog marched the FBI guy in charge of this disaster earlier this week? Not only was it an illegal raid created by an out of control rogue AG with corrupt FBI agents working with him without permission, all for a fishing expedition that worse, failed to catch anything... They doctored evidence and faked a crime scene, then submitted this faked evidence to a court AND the press to try and make Trump look worse. They couldn't risk him looking bad enough, they had to go for the superhitler treatment, again.

@Gehenna, might this be what the Admin was fidgeting about coming out? Worried Trump would nail them with this?

In a functional system? Facebook would be found to be acting as an agent of the government and thus required to uphold the first and fourth amendments. No more moderators sniffing around private chats or private chatrooms without a warrant. No deleting posts for wrongthink or hate speech, since they're required to uphold the 1st amendment. Hell, their shitty little "FACT CHECKERS SAY NO (because we literally told them to): THIS POST IS A WRONGFEEL." stickers would probably be a no go. And there would be lawsuits every time they tried to get around this to go back to suppressing conservative speech.

In our system? Absolutely fuck all. They were goodboys who were censoring wrongthink and working with the goodboy admin to suppress the subhuman conservatives and antivaxxers. And everyone knows subhumans don't have civil rights.

Ho boy - I was of the position that one-off comments here and there wouldn't be enough to bring a successful case of government censorship, but this? This is the case, the whole lunch inside the case, and a coupon for a free large drink and fries with your next purchase. This is REALLY FUCKING BAD if it goes into an actual case, because it would be really fucking hard for any court to rule this is acceptable, and it will get appealed all the way to the SC who will lay down a precedent dick that will make our bitching over 230 look like a game of kickball in comparison to the bombing campaign that was just laid.

 

[Takayuki Yagami]

Funny that. Weed makes me hypersensitive to sound and touch and intensely paranoid. It think it would be very mentally unhealthy for me to use regularly. Alcohol relaxes me. I knew a guy like you. No moral objections to alcohol. He just said alcohol made him feel queasy and disoriented, which was unpleasant to him, and it tasted like shit, due to the fact he avoided it.

People are different. Big surprise. One interesting thing. You know how alcohol is bad for Native Americans? I have a theory that marijuana has stronger negative effects on East Asians than other groups, just from my experience, whereas blacks should just be given a daily weed ration to keep them docile, because everything else just makes them worse.

That honestly wouldn’t surprise me. My schitzo theory for why Euros and Asians seem to tolerate liquor better than other groups is that a comparatively substantial part of their food is fermented, so you get low-level tolerances to ethanol, which is a natural byproduct of yeast’s metabolism. Historically most leavening agents in Europe and the Americas was whatever yeast byproducts the brewers had after they’d done their last batch of ale.

Being none at all.

Only if there's not a critical mass of MAGA congressmen and enough gained Senate seats to mitigate RINOs after the Midterms. Which I doubt will happen (the Senate part specifically as Mitch seems to be trying to hurt MAGA senate candidates to strengthen his faction's influence should Trump return). But I could see cub congressmen of a MAGA stripe saying "fuck decorum and this play nice BS" if it's pushed for before lobbysts manage to turn enough of them.

I like how some people are genuinely shocked by this. Midwits actually seriously thought dozens of private companies all decided to enact identical censorship policies all on their own with no external guidance or pressure whatsoever?

Amerifats aren't very bright are they?
