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

 

[God of Nothing]

That would put actual unemployment at 52.5% or a little more than half the potential laborforce Jesus fucking christ.

oh thank fuck
the collapse will happen soon

For real though, right? I'm ready for clown world to become doom world. One is a drawn out humiliating death and the other is potentially faster, albeit fiery.

It really feels like it's getting worse out there, the bread and circuses are falling apart. I work for one of the largest tech companies in the world and my raises aren't remotely matching even my rent increases. And god forbid I try to buy a house, literally impossible due to Californians playing flip-this-house for the past 15 years in my red state.

We sought out short term solutions to long term problems for too many things and now it's coming home to roost.

@The Nothingness I found this while talking about Ukraine in the war thread.

The Convention on Cluster Munitions was signed by 123 nation states. But that does not include the US, Russia or Ukraine.

So the US will legally and openly ship them to the ukes and the europoors will bitch about it being immoral, but ultimately do nothing about it.

 

[Sniperwoof]

Close to two thirds of Ukraine's forces have been killed. Isn't this just going to be another Afghanistan situation where when Russia inevitably wins they seize all of the advanced tech we sent there and it ends up on the black market causing an even bigger headache?

 

[Some Dumb Faggot]

The Republicans are worthless and unserious in current year plus eight, so they might as well try to feature eye candy like Lauren Hoebert and Anna Luna. Nothing will drive boomercons out to vote like a little eye candy.

That’s why we run over trillion dollar deficits, we don’t have a large enough tax base to pay for the things we want so we just keep printing money. Social spending at the federal level these days is about $3 trillion per year. A balanced budget would cause the economy to collapse, which is why one hasn’t been attempted since the 1990s.

I mean Republican, Democrat they're both useless because the election system is so deeply and fundamentally flawed that it activatly encourages a failing-upwards system. You have literal mentally incapacitated people in top leadership roles.

Whilst the Federal Government may ultimately collapse it can and will be replaced, as to how it will go? No idea, but the Federal Government needs us, we don't need them. Nations go through changes in Government all the time but nation still survives.

America has access to every natural resource it could need its just regulations that get I'm the way. I think that eventually we'll get leadership who will do what needs to be done to make this nation survive, it'll just be rough for a few years.

She looks like the kind of woman you'd find in a biker bar on the outskirts of Aiken, SC on a Friday night. Wearing that exact same getup.

Nah, the type of woman who bartended at the bars around the RV parks at Vogtle 3 and 4 when they were full of travelers working there. Also has 3 kids and smokes marlboro lights. Spends more time at workers RVs after work than at home.

 

[The Ugly One]

there's a lot of room for trashy thots on the MAGA side of the force, and more people need to embrace it

The trashy thots are more representative of Actual America than the likes of Mitch McConnell or Kevin McCarthy.

I'd say a rough / lost decade or two. A lot of the people, aka lawyer environmentalist activists, keeping the flood gates against us using natural resources and nuclear energy are going to pass on / die. But then, we also have a lot of kids going through Freire public schools. They're gonna protests because they've been raised by the former groups to think we're on the eternal verge of extinction. Not to mention the sexual grooming they've done.

Who says 'uncut Nicaraguan'? Never heard anyone say that in my life. Peruvian, Columbian, sure. Nicaraguan, never. Sounds like something Styx would say to try and sound cool.

In what fucking universe have two thirds of Ukraine's forces been killed? Even the most delusional kremlin propaganda doesn't try and pretend it is anywhere close to that.

I think a character on Family Guy said it that way once.

 

[Anasa Tristis]

I distinctly remember Hillary's campaign starting to rev up the "we've always been at war with [shuffles cards] Russia" bullshit towards the end of that election, when it was presumed it was her turn and all that. According to "the plan" we were probably supposed to be at war with Russia from 2016 - 2020 or 2024 or so to destroy / balkanize that region and use up a bunch of old military stock / kill off some useless eaters. Just one of many things Trump disrupted, and the proxy war in the Ukraine is obviously a desperate "Plan B."

The idea of regime change in Russia had been around since the early 2000s, when Putin didn't play ball with Western interests the way they wanted. Then when Viktor Yanukovych considered the Russian loan deal instead of the IMF's in 2013, the opportunity for stirring up shit to loot Ookraine and bait the Bear (a terrific two-fer) couldn't be passed up and it was game on. Just as the Republican neocons were going to redesign the Middle East and rearrange the oil market with the Iraq nonsense, the Democrat neocons are attempting to redesign Russia via the Ookraine nonsense. And enrich their buds in the process. Trump just stalled that for a few years. (While providing great propaganda with Russiagate, etc.) Biden clumsily bailing on Afghanistan a few months after his inauguration was a huge tell. They knew what was coming and were betting on it.

Principal Luis from American Dad actually.

"Pure uncut Nicaraguan marching powder 60% baby laxative, this can only mean one thing. Noreaga is back in town."

Lois Griffin said it too:

This is correct. Certain (((interests))) plundered the fuck out of Russia during the Yeltsin days and Putin put a stop to it by preferring Russian Jewish oligarchs over Western Jewish oligarchs*. Putin has always been a target for removal ever since. It’s just nobody has been brazen and stupid enough to fuck with a major nuclear power until a decade ago. Hubris and the desire to transition away from brown Muslim villains, who Europe imported millions of, to white villains, aligned with western interests. It’s why Obama smuckled about revisiting the Cold War in 2012 but thought Russia was evil just a couple years later.

* - Western Jewish oligarchs really miss this. They’re not oligarchs but Mark Ames and Matt Taibbi bragged about fucking 15 year old girls for a pack of smokes. It got them in some shit a few years ago but (((interests))) want these days to come back.

They will get rid of Biden somehow come the election. They cant keep pushing him anymore, his cognitive decline combined with Hunter's fuckups are giving the opposition too much ammo to work with. They will lame duck him out to pasture.

The rings they are running around over the cocaine look like they did the most damage. Everybody fucking knows it was Hunter, and any serious search would confirm it. They just cant admit it or else he's guarantied 10 years in jail for violating the plea deal he made.

In what fucking universe have two thirds of Ukraine's forces been killed? Even the most delusional kremlin propaganda doesn't try and pretend it is anywhere close to that.

It's an exaggeration but not by much. Most of their experienced units have been decimated, leaving raw recruits attempting to follow the NATO playbook and dying by the droves for it. Even the experienced mercs they send are getting killed because they are not used to not having air and artillery superiority

 

[General Emílio Médici]

I am not so sure they will just throw Biden away. They are running on some real strong sunk cost falacy by now, and everyone wants the power that Biden "has" but they are all locked in a web of favors and compromises and deals. Biden is there exactly because he isn't actually in power but merely doing what the Deep State committee of oligarchs and glowniggers agree on.

Yeah but who can they replace him with?

Pushing him out only hurts the narrative they've been propping him up with - that all of the stuff that is plainly true (he's a grifter, he has dementia, he stole the election, Hunter is an absolute degenerate, etc) was untrue. They cannot admit that so he's going to stay.

There's also no one to put in his place - they've been cleaned out for like two decades on talent and everyone from the last primary (Harris, Buttegieg, Sanders, Klobouchar) is heavily tied into the current administration, so they can't stand in a position of "change". They character assassinated Gabbard so there's no actual viable candidates left to push. They're stuck with Biden unless he dies, but even then they would just re-animate his body like a cyborg.

It's so bad you've got someone like Hakeem Jeffries as the party leader in the house, no idea who replaces Schumer in the senate when he finally dies, but it's a real mess of a party. They're the equivalent of a sports team that desperately needs a rebuild.

 

[tehpope]

Newsom. He's been testing the waters the last few years. Maybe the gov. from Michigan. But it'll come down to the left astroturfing whoever they want in charge, voters be damned.
