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

 

[dustbuster]

Pollster Rich Baris angrilly pointing out he said this was going to happen will never not be funny.

Everyone going ‘Trump’s fault’ never listens to every sane person saying ‘you only win the Trump voter if you support Trump and/or he’s on the ballot and/or he is the face of your playform’ and then they are always shocked when they do none of that why they lose.

Everybody was telling the GOP they’d lose if they went silly on abortion, which they did.

They think we're retarded.
They deliberately starve america first candidates of money, manpower, and get out the vote.
They saturate the airwaves with dusty vintage 2004 bush platform.
They spend the season running up to the election stabbing their base in the back.
Then they try to blame their staggering losses on "Trump"

 

[George Lucas]

Using a handful of off-year elections to say that Trump is losing when he’s not on the ballot at all is major cope and desperation for a win from the left.

Ohio is full of retard kids from California who were too stupid to get a job in California. NOVA is full of riggers.

Sure, islamists will put us back in mud huts if they gain the majority, but they will also repeal the 19th.

They all seem to have RPGs and AK's as well.... stop selling them so well.

 

[The Ugly One]

The argument for firing corrupt feds is simple: you either have an article 2 presidential authority over the executive or you do not.

Article 2 was rendered a dead letter by the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act of 1883.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendleton_Civil_Service_Reform_Act

Courts have reinstated fired federal bureaucrats many times.

When I quoted your "root and branch" comment that's what I meant. They're not going to give Trump the unilateral capacity to fire anyone he wants because they damn well know that he'd fire everybody to thunderous applause, and they (the USSC) wouldn't be invited to any fancy dinners or kid-fucking pool parties anymore. The people there aren't that damn stupid.

He's also just ignoring that the GOPe was desperate for a pretext to remove the guy in office. If you don't have anything substantial, it will destroy the party. They're not completely stupid, so they know that if they remove their own party's President for *checks notes* asking about an investigation into transparent bribery in one of the most transparently sleazy political families in America, their own voters would destroy them (versus the Democrats, whose voters rewarded them for impeaching the President for made-up monkeyshit). Trump ignoring a court order or, worse, an actual statute gives Mitch McConnell and the like all they need to make solemn speeches intoning the need to rise above lawlessness, protect our nation's sacred laws, blah blah blah, and remove him on one count of breaking an actual law.

 

[ShitLurker]

Women know they got a guy to depend on, it's abortion. That's it for most. It's insane to go against it politically even if you think it's a hell religion thing. Yer fucked if you fight abortion with women.

I will never stop being amazed at how women have been gaslit so hard that they DEMAND for the destruction of one of the core aspects of being a women while seeming to be fine with being "body type 2" and "front hole havers".

Also, faggots, ignore the fucking sow Freya, she only knows how to sperg fantasizing on making baby smoothies, block her and let her screech into the void.

They will make it illegal to lie to retain power.
Literally any citizen who voted in an election has standing to sue for that standard and have someone removed.
Bring on the age of libs who are not allowed to lie.

Exactly! It reminds me of the time that faggot Milley was executed, how Fauci was jailed for lying to the president and congress, Zuckerberg was heavilly sanctioned for political censorship, Hillary was incarcerated for severe negligence when manipulating classified emails and how Hunter and Joe got executed for treason for selling out the US to the highest bidder!

Oh wait, none of that happened! And all very illegal in varying degrees! Because the rules are never for them, right now they have a big fat asterisk that says "will only apply to orange men".

Biden has been writing laws via bureaucrats, violating entire articles of the constitution, which is why he gets his ass handed to him

How? How is he getting his ass handed? Like the time they told him he couldn't pardon college debt? And he tried to do it again anyway? Fucker has sold the nation and I'm still waiting for tangible consequences outside of finger wagging.

And we're back to "we just should stop trying and just lay down for the boot because it might be harrrd"

No dude, but you put too much trust in a system that is corrupted to high hell. You can't keep only focusing on doing things within a system that is activelly used against you. I stopped trusting that solving things through the system stopped being an option in 2020 and though there is good news here and there, it's not enough to make me think otherwise.

The fucking retards in N. Virginia won.

Virginia is now a blue state and it's looking like Youngkin was a fluke.

Fuck NoVA.

The value of losing a fake MAGA is not that big a deal. The new faggot will hopefully smash the pedal and go full accelerationist.

 

[AgendaPoster]

I just want to say that Amerimutts are retarded.
I hate Republicans so damn much.
Where were they during the nigger summer of love, when thousands upon thousands of blacks and allies promoted genocidal crap against European whites?
But Jews get some criticism and are attacked, and OMG, Republicucks are ready for war and planetary annihilation.
I don't bother with Dems cause they are the party of minorities, it is EXPECTED that they act like they do.
But the Reps are supposed to be AF and at least OK with pro-white sentiments.
Instead, they are just pro-Jewish. They have disagreements on Ukraine and everything else - none on the Jews, the Jews are sacred.
WTF, America. WTF.

Bidenomics is so great that more people are relying on credit cards

Oh and people can't pay back that credit as well
not surprising when average mortgage payments hover around 2000-2500 and average rent hovers around 1500-2000

 

[Betonhaus]

I wonder how long it'll take for the Jews to get this golem under control. They put a lot of effort into cultivating people who want to tear everything apart and those people now see the Jews as bad. Generally I hope they are unable to

You faggots act like abortion was the issue when you dumb niggers were warned that you dumbasses needed to do somethiing. ANYTHING in the past years to break the stalemate and you fuckers went all "oh no we were minutes too late, we'll get them next time and vote harder huuu huu" while acting like THAT was some magic grassroots bullshit that was actively working, and not the retarded bumblings of a bunch of fags too fucking retarded to figure out nothing is actually being done.

And you expected rousing support from all of that?
Seriously do you fuckers not get that the joke is you and the puncline is mewling about how someone in your little pissing group is sperging about something is somehow the cause of ALL your failures??
Fuck off. Die the 'moral victor' for whatever, I don't care. The cycle of faggotry ends either way.

 

[6MillionCoofs]

You faggots act like abortion was the issue when you dumb niggers were warned that you dumbasses needed to do somethiing.

It was one of the many issues that the GOP were warned would screw them. But they never listened to the people telling them that. Despite those people having been proven right repeatedly.

The GOP simply does not like it’s actual voters and so they’ll either get crushed till they are forced to change or all their pieces are blue

 

[mandatorylurk]

So last night:

-Abortion won in Ohio because they worded it in such a way opponents wouldn't say "you're killing babies, why are women so obsessed with killing babies?"
-VA, which ran completely on an "this is the new, non-Trump GOP" lost the state house and senate, and almost let a porn star win, but this is Trump's fault
-The Mississippi governor won re-election by being pro-Trump, and making ads showing he's pro-Trump, despite a huge push by a Soros funded DA to sneak in and win
-The McConnell lackey in Kentucky who just took Trump's endorsement and did nothing with it lost, even more telling is voter turnout went down 4 points than it was in 2019
-The RNC gave next to no money to any candidate or VA races
-In Houston, there will be a runoff for mayor between idiot congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee and a light blue democrat city councilman John Whitmire.
-Some NYC council positions flipped red
-the mayor of Manchester flipped red


and tonight at the gay debate this will be blamed on Trump instead of the GOP deliberately starving candidates in order to make it look like Trump's fault, further alienating the people who only trust Trump. Meatball cope:



Reality:

 

[NyQuilninja]

Let's not pretend this isn't also the GOP's utter Success

• They've been successfully spitting on their base very publicly for the past 2 years(more like 6), with more than half of GOP congressmen stabbing the people's choice for speaker in the back less than a month ago.
• They've successfully failed too ice out marxist media and assemble their own counter-messaging system, opting instead to walk into a rigged propaganda game and play the fool.
• They've successfully failed to stand up for Dobbs and present a sane compromise between post-birth child murder and "sorry suzie you have to have your rapist's baby"
• They've Successfully failed to set up a ground game to harvest ballots and early votes.
• They've successfully failed to finance important races for 3 cycles in a row at all levels.

Nobody gives a shit about abortion either way anymore. Quit pretending like it actually fucking matters.
What actually fucking matters is the literal nothing being done right now.

And you people's constant dick sucking and finger wagging about it.

 

[General Emílio Médici]

Like I have told you all a few pages ago, the Abortion issue exists in the GOP as a reliable way to make sure they never win and forever play the "losing with dignity" role of eternal 2nd place.

They will do all they can to use it to lose elections, but drop it as soon as they have any power to actual push anything on it when their power is secure.

This what winning smells like let's go joe

Iowa and Polk County saw record-high evictions last year — and the numbers keep climbing
F. Amanda Tugade
Des Moines Register
A lack of affordable housing and stagnant incomes are helping push Iowa's eviction filings to unprecedented heights, according to data compiled by Iowa Legal Aid, a nonprofit that provides legal assistance to low-income people.

After filings dipped during the COVID-19 pandemic because of rental assistance programs and an eviction moratorium, Iowa and Polk County both saw record numbers last year, said Nick Smithberg, the legal aid's executive director.

In Polk County, eviction filings have steadily increased from about 4,400 in 2012 to roughly 6,400 in 2022.

That same year, evictions statewide increased nearly 75% from around 10,500 in 2012 to 18,300.

Numbers are expected to climb again this year, Smithberg said. The state has so far seen 9,784 eviction filings — 3,883 of which were in Polk County — but Smithberg said "leftover" American Rescue Plan Act funds might have "a little bit" of an impact, with the county potentially launching another round of rental assistance for residents in need.

"This isn't somebody else's problem that's somewhere else. This is where we live. This is the people who live in our communities," he said. "… This is a reality affecting hundreds of thousands of people, and wherever you are, it's right there."

In recent years, cities across the United States have seen dramatic rent increases. As a result, eviction filing rates are surging, particularly in the South and Southwest, according to data collected by the Eviction Lab, an eviction tracking system run by Princeton University.

Living costs are up, but minimum wage is still the same
Angie Arthur, executive director of Homeward, said she's concerned but not surprised about the increase in landlords filing eviction cases over the years. Neither is Smithberg.

The cause, they said, is the state's minimum wage and increasing shortage of affordable housing units.

Iowa's minimum wage is still at $7.25, while the cost of living has soared. Common Good Iowa, a nonprofit that focuses on public policy and research, reported last year that two parents with two children should each earn more than $16 an hour to meet their basic needs. A single parent with one child should make at least $21 an hour.


Fair market rent, used to calculate vouchers for housing assistance, for a one-bedroom apartment in Polk County is now $889, a jump from last year's $770, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The majority of eviction cases that the legal aid office sees involve renters falling behind on lease payments, Smithberg said.

"There's a huge portion of the population that can't really afford any of their basic needs," Smithberg said. "When you're in that position, you're not going to be able to hold onto housing. It's inherently unstable to be so close to the margin. There's no room for error.

"If somebody gets sick or you have to fix the car, next thing you know you're looking at an eviction."

Polk County — like the state — also needs more than 11,000 affordable housing units, the National Low Income Coalition reported. Arthur noted the larger impact on housing services, as more and more people face instability.

"It puts stress on our other systems. For example, within our communities, we are seeing the highest waitlist in quite a long time right now for our family shelters," she explained. "That is a challenge."

Single moms, tenants with children likely to be evicted
Data from Iowa Legal Aid also showed eviction cases disproportionately impacting disabled people, people of color and women in Polk County despite making up only a portion of the state's general population.

Women made up a majority of the eviction cases — 68% — in Polk County, though they comprise 50% of the county's general population, the legal aid's report revealed. Cases involving people of color were at 47%, though they make up only 25% of the county's population.

The legal aid also saw 33% of eviction cases involving disabled people, who make up 8% of the county's population.

Smithberg said single mothers are likely to face higher rates of eviction, adding that "the presence of children in the house" is the "greatest predictor" of an eviction.

"Women earn less. Women have primary child care responsibility, which means that it makes it harder for them to hold down employment," he said. "Kids get sick. (They) miss work. There's a whole host of issues."

More:If you're an Iowan facing eviction, here are some ways to seek help

Landlords say they face more "scrutiny" from state departments when tenants with children live in their units, according to a 2014 study by the MacArthur Foundation on eviction rates among poor Black women in Wisconsin.

"Children might test positive for lead poisoning, for example, and the Environmental Protection Agency will step in," the report stated. "Child protective services may be alerted if the home is unsafe or unsanitary. More children are also hard on apartments."

What to do if you are facing an eviction
There are resources for Iowans facing an eviction. Reach out to Iowa Legal Aid at 800-532-1275 or other organizations like:

HOME Inc.: 515-243-1277 or https://form.jotform.com/90515767630157
United Way: 211
Iowans also should know that if they receive an eviction notice, they don't have to leave their home right away, experts say. Only a judge can order a notice to vacate.

I specifically said the GOP were told it didn’t matter

What actually fucking matters is the literal nothing being done right now.

Which the GOP were told. Repeatedly. You can take a horse to water, you can’t make it drink.

Zero ads I saw from the GOP mentioned abortion.
100% of the DNC ads I saw mentioned abortion.

Oh wait I saw zero GOP ads. It was like they did not even try to win in my state(but they actually did take some kind of big local seats).

 

[draggs]

Glenn Youngkin's and Ronna McDaniel's bland smile nice and don't stand for anything style of politics got authoritatively btfo last night

I'll miss all those Youngkin needs to run for president think pieces

They won't change a thing though, they'll keep avoiding Trump when he's the only man who can drive Republican turnout

And I am specifically saying all this bitching is fucking retarded and a waste of time.
Shit or get off the fucking pot. I do not care.

Seriously. Can you fuckers not grasp the sheer mediocrity of all this bullshit? The fucking nostalgia. Seriously you fuckers have the same fucking "understand the sentence but cannot grasp the concept" bullshit as the other side.

At this point I'm going to make a joke about how all you motherfuckers need to wear skirts and chop off your cocks. And then horrible things start happening. Again.
Maybe this time the joke should be about alzheimers.
