Oh fuck I can 100% see the D.C. types pulling some shit like that to excuse their own incompetence blaming Russian Disinfo and MAGA Nazi Christo-Fascists for not just magically fixing a 30yo decay in MIC production standards and output to save glorious Kyiv from le ebil ruskies.

Lol that's just a drone, if you want me to think it's an alien craft you gotta get it doing some 90-degree angle turns suddenly and stuff.

Carter would have better luck doing it himself from beyond the grave.
Should have Bammy do it; if there's one thing he can do it's make a speech.
Please do not call them "aliens", they are "undocumented extraterrestrials."

Had a thought about Michelle Obama's chances in an election rolling around in my head since before the last one. Don't thing I've ever actually mentioned it before sooo...
TL,DR: Any halfway competent opponent can point to her school lunch program as an example of how bad she can mess things up, be told it's going badly and keep plowing ahead with it anyway.
Fortunately I was gone before I could get any first-hand experience but pretty much everyone (students anyways) hated it from what I've heard. Students didn't want it, cafeteria staff were required to dump it on the tray despite everyone involved knowing lots of it was going straight from the kitchen to the garbage anyways. Huge numbers of people got a front-and-center look at what one person in government can do. And they got it in-person at lunch every day for years. There was plenty of people pointing out the whole thing was a shit sandwich, while the official reply sounded a lot like "And you've never had this much corn in it before! Isn't it wonderful?".
Ad far as bad government programs go, It was probably fairly low-cost and low-impact. Except that it likely made a very large and very memorable personal impression on a whole lot people, Many of which can now vote. Pointing this out to them is easy and what's the counter-argument that doesn't sound like "You'll eat your vegetables and like it."? And who wants to vote for that when they've already been shown she not only could could do similar again but already has. Bonus points for the candidate that can work in a "I'm form the government and I'm here to help" quote. Heck of a preview for a candidate.
@Gehenna Is my shit fucked up and I'm talking all retarded or might her running actually play out something like this?

Issues don't matter in the general. What matters is who's got the most successful election fortification operation, and who's done the best job of painting their opponent as Like Hitler But Actually Worse.

The USG becoming the Weekly World News is not something I expected, even in clown world/piss earth.
Yep. It’s not as if either party can run on the issues; one side hates the concept of solutions that don’t originate from Fortune 100 boardrooms or AIPAC and the other side does whatever they feel like and they just happen to love every deviant out there.

At this point, if Aliens showed up in a massive war fleet, took out our leaders, and took over the earth, I'd be clapping.
If I saw feds trying to fight off ID4, I'd be helping the aliens fight back.

Ayylmaos: I don't get it, we want to probe your anus and steal your DNA, why are you helping us?
dustbuster: Our leaders want to chop off my dick and steal my kids. You're actually an improvement.

This has so much "food comes from the supermarket!" energy to it.
Good luck reaching those numbers after ruining all your local industry and actively antagonizing some of your main base productors.

This is reminding me..
Why hasn't Musk completely cut off Kyiv's starlink?
If I had biden so much as looking at me the wrong way and had the power to sink his pet projects, i'd be doing it with gusto.
"oh they'll just seize his companies"
Just dead man switch an atmospheric plunge on all starlink satellites

Because it's being made very clear that if Elon goes too far telling Hoe Biden what a bitch ass nigga he is, Elon's gonna end up in federal prison denied bail facing 35 different federal charges and 14 different federal civil lawsuits brought by US Attorneys in 7 different jurisdictions, or just suicided with 4 shotgun blasts to the back of the head

The game involves brinksmanship and the capacity to do proportional damage.
Elon can destroy entire armies.
That's disproportionate response in his hands.

Also Elon didn't cut Starlink just because he disagreed with the attack. He sold them the service with a contract attached. He cut it when they started violating the ToS that they had agreed to because Starlink is supposed to be civilian and he would rather not have his ISP get caught in a literal crossfire.

He didn't even cut the access, he just refused to remove the geo-lockout that was in place within Crimea. Ukraine being retarded doesn't understand once startlink starts getting used regularly as a weapons platform its' days are numbered.

Earth: Hooray, we're saved!
Ayys: We wouldn't say "saved", more like "under new management".
Earth: No, you don't understand, you literally can't make things worse than they currently are.

She may not be interested, but what if that dead Cook was them setting up to tell her she's running, whether she likes it or not? Someone who doesn't have any ambitions of their own is perfect for the people who are interested in power. And she wouldn't be campaigning either. There's no need. She doesn't need policy, or experience, or anything. All she needs is her name on the ballot and maybe a month or two for everyone in the media to shout about how Big Mikechelle is here to save us! The less people actually know about her, the better.
