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

 

[BULLY HUNTER_78]

Apparently the White House is literally deleting his tweets that are getting deboonked.

That's nothing new. In the early weeks of his presidency, he colluded with YouTube to delete his dislikes and mean comments with WrongThink

It's nice to see that he's been forced into being his own janny now.

You bring up a very good point. I'm sure everyone reading this thread has had at least one moment in their life where they were talking with someone who hinted at having an illegal belief, and experienced a rush of relief: "I'm not alone, I'm not crazy, they see it too". Just the other day I was talking with a good friend, and a certain bit of social drama involving a person of gender came up, and he kind of rolled his eyes and we gave each other the "haha yeah whatever". A nice moment of calm, knowing that for the time being not all of the people I know have gotten body snatched.

I have a mildly funny story like that. Had a good friend approach me privately, seeming sheepish. He made sure to preempt the convo by assuring me wasn't a far right nazi or whatever. He asked "do you actually think trans women are actual women, cause I just can't accept that man."

Took all of my might not to bust out laughing. But as funny as it was, that shows how isolated some people can feel. Normies are at the point we're they terrified to privately admit to a close friend they don't think men in dresses are women. @Gar For Archer is 100% right, making people feel less alone is the most damaging thing that can be done to the left.

I know a socialist who says "non-binary" is complete bullshit, though the enby individuals he knows he believes aren't bad people. He also dunks on the asexuals trying to co-opt the LGBT community, so it made for a funny moment when I told him about the demisexuals.

Think in general, a lot of people in the real world don't believe the genderspecial stuff to be legit, but they don't or can't express their thoughts to others. His family is pretty open to all kinds of opinions in the home since it encourages discussion, but I think because I'm pretty conservative in my beliefs, he's really curious about my thoughts on the matter. I've noticed he's gotten more comfortable about getting things off his chest around me probably because I've made it clear I'm a shitlord, which means we can make fun of genderspecials together in private.

Not going to get cocky, but these numbers don't look good for the Dems.

On the topic of talking with family members....mom's becoming more and more based by the day, mostly thanks to the fervor around Kanye. Namely, she's questioning the Happy Merchants and their stranglehold on the world. She was watching a documentary on Hitler and I quote "something kind of ignited in that old brain of [hers]." After explaining my opinion, (you can probably take a wild guess as to what that is), she said that "we're on the same page, son!" and that she's glad "she knows her thoughts aren't too crazy."

Joepedo is going to talk down to us tonight, can he top his Nazi chic look from two months ago?

Predictions: It'll be the usual "do what we tell you to do or else" shtick that they've been more and more transparent about.

My question is will they up the ante and add a fire backdrop behind him so he looks even more """dark""" than the last time they tried to pull that off and failed miserably in doing so.

Yeah it's not like the elevator doors opened and the blood poured out style red wave, but it does seem to reflect the same general idea as other early numbers, which would explain why they're so desperate that they're trying to redo that Hate Of The Union Address from a few months back

The left has a hard split between the troon acceptors and the troon refuseniks, with the latter being further divided between people who just want to drop the T but keep the rest, and the people who think Stalin's "an idiot and a degenerate" doesn't go far enough. It's a split that runs perpendicular to other left-wing factions, though you won't find many progressive types on the refusenik side, so it's not a perfect division.

Most of the "left" (wich is much broader than just marxism and socialism) just want better working conditions and couldn't give a tinker's cuss about trannies and sexual politics, but they've been manipulated into accepting, however reluctantly, that the only way to get what they want is to support idpol bullshit. The progs and the troonists are using network effects to keep refuseniks isolated from one another. Their control of the media and the visible discourse means that they can make it appear that their form of leftism is the only form, forcing the (significantly larger) rump to conform or be cast out.

https://dailycaller.com/2021/11/29/...-bill-contains-backdoor-kill-switch-for-cars/

Buried deep within the massive infrastructure legislation recently signed by President Joe Biden is a little-noticed “safety” measure that will take effect in five years. Marketed to Congress as a benign tool to help prevent drunk driving, the measure will mandate that automobile manufacturers build into every car what amounts to a “vehicle kill switch.”

As has become standard for legislative mandates passed by Congress, this measure is disturbingly short on details. What we do know is that the “safety” device must “passively monitor the performance of a driver of a motor vehicle to accurately identify whether that driver may be impaired.”

Everything about this mandatory measure should set off red flares.

First, use of the word “passively” suggests the system will always be on and constantly monitoring the vehicle. Secondly, the system must connect to the vehicle’s operational controls, so as to disable the vehicle either before driving or during, when impairment is detected. Thirdly, it will be an “open” system, or at least one with a backdoor, meaning authorized (or unauthorized) third-parties can remotely access the system’s data at any time.

This is a privacy disaster in the making, and the fact that the provision made it through the Congress reveals — yet again — how little its members care about the privacy of their constituents.



The lack of ultimate control over one’s vehicle presents numerous and extremely serious safety issues; issues that should have been obvious to Members of Congress before they voted on the measure.

For example, what if a driver is not drunk, but sleepy, and the car forces itself to the side of the road before the driver can find a safe place to pull over and rest? Considering that there are no realistic mechanisms to immediately challenge or stop the car from being disabled, drivers will be forced into dangerous situations without their consent or control.

The choice as to whether a vehicle can or cannot be driven — for vehicles built after 2026 — will rest in the hands of an algorithm over which the car’s owner or driver have neither knowledge nor control.

If that is not reason enough for concern, there are serious legal issues with this mandate. Other vehicle-related enforcement methods used by the Nanny State, such as traffic cameras and license plate readers, have long presented constitutional problems; notably with the 5th Amendment’s right to not self-incriminate, and the 6th Amendment’s right to face one’s accuser.


The same constitutional issues abound with this new technology, but with the added confusion surrounding what Congress even means by “impaired driving.” Does it mean legally drunk, or perhaps under the limit but still “impaired” to a degree? Would police be summoned automatically by the system in order to make that determination? These are questions that should have been addressed openly and thoroughly during the legislative process, not left to later, back-room negotiations between interested parties other than individual car buyers – manufacturers, regulators, insurance companies and law enforcement.

Ironically, or perhaps intentionally, there also is no detail in the legislation about who would have access to the data collected and stored by the system. Could it be used by police, and could they access this information without a warrant? What about insurance companies, eager to know with what frequency their customers drove after drinking alcohol, even if it was below the legal limit? Such a trove of data presents a lucrative prize to all manner of public and private entities (including hackers), none of which have our best interests at heart.

Adding what amounts to a mandatory, backdoor government “kill switch” to cars is not only a violation of our constitutional rights, but an affront to what is — or used to be — an essential element of our national character. Unless this regulatory mandate is not quickly removed or defanged by way of an appropriations rider preventing its implementation, the freedom of the open road that individual car ownership brought to the American Dream, will be but another vague memory of an era no longer to be enjoyed by future generations.

Bob Barr represented Georgia’s Seventh District in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1995 to 2003. He served as the United States Attorney in Atlanta from 1986 to 1990 and was an official with the CIA in the 1970s. He now practices law in Atlanta, Georgia and serves as head of Liberty Guard.

I cannot even bring up the Floyd riots without being countered with 1/6 used as a fallacy. You're automatically declassified as "siding with racists" once it's brought up, even without saying your piece on it.

Somebody help me figure out how many constitutional violations this implies.

It's amazing how blacks are unable to tell the difference between LA/NYC Jews that are in the media vs the regular Jews walking on the street who have nothing to do with it. Using that Holocaust example, it's like not being able to tell the difference between the Jews in the Weimar government vs random Jews in tiny villages located in the ass end of Russia and treating them the same .

The Jewish thing is interesting.

I knew Jewish guys who worked the same kind of shit jobs I had. They didn't have Shlomo McShecklestein coming up to them and handing them free money after work. They were just like me, they just worshipped someone else.

When I think of Jews, I think of those guys.

But if you talk about the powerful Jewish families like you talk about powerful white or Asian or whatever families, suddenly everyone holds up my friends and goes "DO YOU HATE HIM BECAUSE HE'S JEWISH!?!?!?!?!"

It's annoying that these people hide behind my buddy the construction worker.

It would be like if you criticize Elon Musk and he hides behind Penny McTweeker in the trailer park going "WHY YOU HATE WYPIPO?"

One of my coworkers said 1/6 was just as bad as 9/11. I told him I didn't think it was that bad. He looked at me like I was off my rocker. This is a guy I talk to all the time about things like trannies, BLM, etc. But this crossed the line with him of all things.

 

[Honest Coyote]

I won't be surprised if they're going to use AOC
a bit farfetched but if they're desperate enough, might be possible

I doubt AOC has longterm prospects. She's hated by the cynical center-left leadership, and her original election strategy of primarying out her predecessor was playing the diversity card "brown woman vs. old white male". That won't play as well outside leftwing strongholds.

How old is he? Because in my experience, very few normies who were alive for 9/11 would compare it to the capital boomer stroll.

Early 30s, which is part of why it caught me off guard. I saw the pentagon on fire on 9/11. There is no comparison between the two. I should add, by boss who is near 40 said the same thing, it being worse than 9/11.
