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

 

[verissimus]

Do you really think AZ, NV, and GA were legitimate elections in the senate, let alone the other races in AZ? The cameras magically go off overnight in NV and wow, Cortez-Mastro magically starts pulling ahead by numbers that weren't possible in ballot breaks for the candidates? Are you forgetting how Maricopa pulled this same election bullshit in 2018 where they kept certain polling places open and Sinema magically got ahead three days later after election day?

If Trump endorsed unappealing candidates, where were the better ones put forth by Mitch the Bitch? They're so bad, it should be easy enough to make those candidates win, right? John O'Dea was a great candidate for CO, how'd that turn out?

This is the kiwi version of the seminar callers who would pop up on Rush's radio show.

I would further add that a number of Trump candidates barely even lost. Walker twice faced Warnock in a runoff. That isn't bad at all for a political amateur. Unfortunately there are no prizes for 2nd place in politics.

I remember a Dave Chapelle joke that if it ever came to terrorists demanding ransom for black hostages, that Washington DC would hang up the phone. In a kind of way, it looks like taking niggers as hostages now, is worth more than the white man.

Also I remember some meme from the early 2010s internet that had a bunch of half naked gangbanging niggers claiming they run these streets. And the picture below was some mostly white neocon Republicans laughing at them. Well niggers run these streets now and white boomercons btfo as far as that goes.

What happens with DeSantis is he has a big announcement that everyone talks about and then two or three weeks later a court shuts down whatever it is he was doing.

Didn't that happen to Trump a lot?

Biden signed the Respect for marriage act which puts federal protections for gay and lesbian marriages, and at the signing he invited many people from the LGBT community while in a normal world this would be LGBT celebrities.
However one of the people he invited to the signing ceremony is a drag queen by the name of Marti G Cummings who performs drag queen story hours for kids and has made tweets like this

This NPC talk is funny because even when you tell them directly why people vote for Trump they can't understand it. Trump is a legitimately likeable person and that is an alien concept to the political class. Mistakes can be forgiven but flat out betrayal cannot. Trump has shown no signs of actual malice, just being an idiot and thinking that somehow the republican party would want to do what the voters wanted.

You call him an idiot but I can't fault him for making that mistake. After all, he's from a business background where if you don't efficiently fulfill your customer base's demands, you go out of business. It's understandable that he'd assume the same is true in a competitive political system.

As much as Trump is called a grifter, he ironically could not conceive of a grift of the magnitude that is modern US politics.

I cannot comprehend how you can write tweets saying you want to see little kids suck cock and stay out of prison.

Really? With all of the hunter laptop shit out and nothing being done at all with that, you're shocked that the legal system is busted?

Trump making big announcement tomorrow, probably either a lawsuit against the government for being super faggots against him (since he has standing now thanks to the twitter files), or something involving the RNC, like supporting Dhillon.

Meanwhile Joepedo, filled with his lust for destroying innocence, is ignored by all the kids at a toy drive. Make sure those kids get home safe and weren't taken into the limo.

Sure are, one of our favorite people we love to talk about has it covered with his take

 

[Random Internet Person]

I feel the best case scenario is he doesn't know what he's doing, but I think the reality may be that he knows this stuff will go nowhere but still sees he could score big politically virtue signaling like this. Rand Paul is doing a similar thing with calling for hearings and wanting to request other people go after Fauci, which will inevitably go nowhere.

A lot of these guys know what they're doing can't go anywhere, but go through the motions because they know ignorant voters will eat it up.

Except aren't most on the right basically calling for results now? I think there could even be a struggle for catch-22s in regard for Biden impeachment.

Yeah, Tucker covered that yesterday.

Next you'll be telling me folks on the right will call another 9/11 " deserved divine punishment for hedonism".

By the time Biden is out of the White House, I think the division of America will be at the deepest it can possibly be.

 

[MrJokerRager]

I thought it was interesting over what Hannity started his program with.

To paraphrase: "I never thought I would ever report this but the president hosted a drag queen party"

Next you'll be telling me folks on the right will call another 9/11 " deserved divine punishment for hedonism".

There were plenty of Arabs and third worlders in general who believed that after the first one.

Though for a second 9/11, it would probably be less religious and more "leftoids/liberals/progtards pwned by [whoever did it]".

While many mainstream cuckservatives will cry for vengence and think of the blue shitholes of America, the same ones who didn't do much to stop the BLM riots.

Are you going to post still? Half the fun of this thread is reading what you have to say, but theres no point if theres no logic or reason for anything.

Yes, just expect far more hedging of my bets. Things along the lines of "This is how it should go, but in clownworld anything can happen!"

Well, if it makes you feel any better, Sinema going (technically) independent may mean that the fraud machine in Arizona is finally going to be taken apart.

:Edit: Another thing all of us should keep in mind is that we all were caught rather flat-footed by the GOPE's willingness to shoot itself in the foot in order to keep MAGA or otherwise populist conservative candidates elected. People like McConnel need to go in order for the Republicans to accurately and effectively represent their constituents and their interests.

That was one of two major factors in it. McConnell burnt through every bit of goodwill he had for his ability to control the sensate. At this point his skills there are less than the damage he has done to the party.

I still believe they were going to ultimately brush the first theft under the rug and reinstate him but then it became clear this wasn't a one-off incident.

Without a doubt. They could have twisted logic to accept his excuse for one, but as soon as a second was found he became a political timebomb.



As a separate aside, what I find interesting is -what- I got wrong at the core. Faulty predictions are based on faulty premises. Determining what premises were wrong can provide more insight than finding which ones were right. A fair bit of my silence has occurred as I dug through said premises. I have determined two were wrong and it is baffling that they were, so honk honk.


First: That the federal GOP would recoil from the Democrat's actions as it fundamentally broke the agreement between them. This one was half-wrong. The GOP -did- recoil.... but only parts of it. Several key players and organizations didn't, they chose instead to continue to support the Democrats and prop up their own candidate. This is suicidal hence why I dismissed it prior. The GOP does not have anywhere near the voter fraud machine the Democrats do. They -are- vulnerable to being primaried. This is political suicide outside of purple states, and only not in purple states because of fraud. If it percolates to the masses that McConnel sabotaged the midterms then he is wide open for a primary. Idiocy.


Second: That the Democrats would funnel money to their debts first. This seemed like a no brainer. Unlike the US debt nobody is going to buy this. Debts get paid first so you can borrow against your own credibility for both money and political favors. Not doing so would be insanity.

The Democrats did not do so.

They appear to have funneled every red scent they could into their warchest. Ignoring all debts and letting them pile up and come due. This is insanity, bafflingly so. I can only assume they thought they'd actually keep the house or even gain a significant majority in the senate. That is the only thing that makes sense. Because as is, Biden is a Lame Duck, their ability to pass anything is nuked, the filibuster is still an insurmountable issue, and just in general everything is more or less "As it was before, but slightly worse".... and now the people they owe debts to will at best cut ties until they sort their shit.

Ten years ago I would have agreed with this.

But having seen what a lot of major corporations have done in the name of progressiveness and wokeness (ESG scores, anyone), I think there's a LOT of true believers that have bought the line "all we need is one more massacre to achieve utopia" and will keep backing the Dems hoping for either a bigger payday OR because they're true believers and starting to care less and less about profit.

We know it won't be anything meaningful because he wants to be alive in 2024.

Lets ask the Washington Post their opinion on this.

I was just going to mention something along these lines, however because I am an average rainbow enthusiast I am going to posit that they can spend their capital as they wish and with reckless abandon, but that's still red on the ledger.
Considering the possibility with us just having passed the point where the majority of boomers have retired and begun drawing down, there's likely going to be a credit crunch as all the cheap capital of the decades pass disappears.
And that's before you consider the ever-looming global depression (if we don't talk about it it won't happen tho fingers crossed guise). I think that while the true believers have some degree of capital to hurl, the market will impose limits on that spending eventually.

So therefore while we may view the various funds and money people as indefinite, their tolerance for losses is higher than anything rational but still will have limits. The only problem is figuring out what those limits are and what external stimulus will wake them up the reality that those debts may not ever be paid.
I may be optimistic in think the upcoming pressures will break the will, though.

A good one.

I think the situation is more optimistic on that front than it might seem.

A lot of these companies only got the ball rolling on what we see as self destructive woke in 2015 or later - Decisions like these can take years to pan out financially, whether the effect was positive or negative. So they spent a few years of bad results not really able to conclusively say that it was because of the woke stuff, as opposed to market situations. The fact everyone went in on this around the same time obfuscates it further.

Additionally, 2015 was an important date - Simply put, everything was looking great, everything was printing money, we'd just dodged an oil price crisis with minimal damage, the economy felt invincible. A lot of the damaging actions being taken by companies were masked by the silly money being thrown around by investors flush with cash and swimming in low interest rates.

Around 2019, we started to see concrete confirmation that things weren't going so well - Consistent bad numbers, woke media projects arriving after their years in the oven to more and more flops, woke financial investments struggling, ESG programs not posting the same returns people were hoping for. And then Covid hit, lockdowns hit, and threw up a massive smokescreen where it was impossible to blame anything else - You didn't even need to try and twist it, it was just that bad of a situation.

Now, we're coming out of that, right into a depression, and the road for this experiment is running short - At this point, a lot of corporate entities are struggling or folding, ESG programs are being hit really hard by interest rates, the market is receding, and all these companies that didn't know for sure what way the wind was blowing? Well what they know for sure now is that the woke stuff isn't making profit in good times for uncertain reasons, didn't make profit in bad times cuz bad times, and we're about to go into a hell of a bad time.

The true believers don't have much rope left to hang themselves with, the opportunists are no longer seeing an opportunity, and anyone who keeps walking the road is going to be in the position of actual financial crippling, and no longer in an economy where you'll just be acquired by a competitor with a golden parachute - Failing companies will be fighting tooth and nail to be bought out by their semi-solvent competitors.
