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

If he takes a trip down the stairway to hell, that means Harris will take over and she's not resigning. I don't care how much pressure the party puts on her, she knows damn well this is the closest she'll ever get to the presidency on account of her being an unlikeable whore.

It's the closest Hilary Clinton presidency we'll ever get. I only see conflict happening between both parties if this happens. It could possibly turn into civil war if it gets bloody awful. No American today wants a civil war, but the delusional fools with power will sacrifice millions because they're either old/dying or know how to gather retards to fuel the fire of war.

When curves go vertical like that, it's so statistically impossible you don't NEED a forensic audit or anything else.
I crunched the numbers on PA alone, (leaving out the fact it was simulatenous in 7 states), and came up with 1 in half a googleplex odds.
You are literally more likely to be convicted a dozen times on mistaken DNA evidence than to see a curve like that.

The thing is that even if you assume there is 0 fraud in the mail in ballots and the votes themselves, the election was still fraudulent because the media and government conspired to hide the fact that Hunter Biden is a crackhead who was helping his dad get rich by literally selling his services as "I can get the US Government to lobby for you" all around.

The censorship of the laptop is what really flipped the election. If more normies had know the margins would have gotten too big and the steal wouldn't have been possible.

I think @Gehenna said it best

Trump don't need the joggers to vote for him, he just needs them to not vote for Biden.

The more joggers that stay home on election day the harder it will be to "correct" the voting results.

Staying home and not voting just makes it easier to hide the ballot stuffing. As the stuffed ballots are just replacing their votes.

The margins were that big in PA.
They were at 95% counted with Trump double-digits ahead.
There was a point at which CNN's chyrons let slip 105% returns before they panicked and stopped it.

This is where you pull all funding for these three congressmen (not the one who voted no just to keep it alive) and you get them primaried. The democrats only ever get to vote against when they already have the votes, that same rule should work for the GOPe but they love to lose.

edit: they're so gay everyone can see how fake it is.

In the House of Representatives, GOP efforts to impeach DHS Secretary Mayorkas have suffered a setback, also the attempt to pass a stand-alone bill that would of given aid to Israel failed.

In stunning defeat, House Republicans fail to impeach DHS Secretary Mayorkas over border​

In a stunning defeat, a Republican-led push to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas failed on Tuesday.

The final vote was 214-216. Four Republicans defected and joined all Democrats present in opposing the measure.

For a moment, the vote was tied at 215-215 before another Republican switched to vote against.

Speaker Mike Johnson announced the resolution had failed, to cheers from Democrats in the chamber.

Minutes later, Johnson suffered another stinging defeat when the House fell short of the votes needed to pass a stand-alone bill he had backed to provide aid to Israel.

The Mayorkas measure could come up for a vote again. Rep. Blake Moore, R-Utah, immediately filed a motion to reconsider after the vote failed so that it can be brought to the floor at a later date, like when Majority Leader Steve Scalise returns to Washington after receiving cancer treatment.

The articles of impeachment accuse Mayorkas, long the target of GOP attacks when it comes to immigration policy, of "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law" and "breach of public trust" amid a surge in unauthorized migrant crossings.

Mayorkas has vigorously defended himself and the department, calling the allegations "baseless" and insisting it won't distract from their work. Democrats have contended the impeachment effort is unconstitutional and politically motivated.

Speculation grew throughout the day as to whether Johnson had the votes for the measure to pass. Republicans have a razor-thin three-vote majority in the House, and two members of the conference had said ahead of time they were against impeaching Mayorkas.

Among the GOP defectors were Reps. Ken Buck of Colorado, Tom McClintock of California and Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin.

Lawmakers debated the impeachment resolution for just over two hours ahead of the vote.

Homeland Security Committee chairman Mark Green, R-Tenn., defended the committee's yearlong probe into Mayorkas and said his actions are responsible for a border crisis that Democrats have "turned a blind eye" to.

"His refusal to obey the law has led to the death of our fellow citizens. And he no longer deserves to keep his job," Green said of Mayorkas as debate began.

Rep. Bennie Thompson, the committee's top Democrat, countered that the proceeding is a "sham."

"House Republicans want to distort the Constitution and the secretary's record to cover up their inability and unwillingness to work with Democrats to strengthen border security," Thompson said. "It's about Republican politics and subversion of the Constitution."

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., suggested the GOP effort against Mayorkas has been to avenge former President Donald Trump, who was twice impeached by Democrats.

"Because when the puppet master Donald Trump says 'jump,' extreme MAGA Republicans respond, 'How high?'" Jeffries said.

On the other side of the aisle, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, who has been tapped as one of the Republican impeachment managers, said it's Democrats who are "in a quandary."

"Either they must own the policies of murder and crime of American citizens, or they can admit Secretary Mayorkas has broken federal laws and vote to impeach Secretary Mayorkas," Greene said.

One defector, Rep. Buck, explained why he is a no vote on impeachment in an op-ed published by The Hill on Monday. In it, he wrote he thinks Mayorkas will "most likely be remembered as the worst secretary of Homeland Security in the history of the United States" but didn't believe his conduct amounted to the Constitution's high bar of "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."

McClintock announced his decision in a 10-page memo released Tuesday morning, in which he also criticized Mayorkas, but said the impeachment effort is "bad politics and bad policy."

"The problem is that they fail to identify an impeachable crime that Mayorkas has committed," McClintock wrote. "In effect, they stretch and distort the Constitution in order to hold the administration accountable for stretching and distorting the law."

Asked for his reaction to those in his party advising against impeachment, Johnson said he respects "everyone's view on it" but he believes it's a necessary step.

"There is no measure for Congress to take but this one," he said at a news conference alongside other GOP leaders. "It's an extreme measure. We do not take it lightly. I respect the conscience of everyone and how they vote."

If the vote had succeeded, it would've marked just the second time in U.S. history a Cabinet official has been impeached. The issue would have then go to trial in the Democrat-controlled Senate, where a two-thirds majority vote would be needed to convict.

The vote on whether to impeach Mayorkas coincides with a fierce debate over a new bipartisan bill that would amount to the first major overhaul of the immigration system in years.

The measure, the product of months of behind-the-scenes negotiations among a bipartisan group of senators, is supported by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and President Joe Biden.

Mayorkas, who played a role in negotiations, praised the bill as "tough, fair, and takes meaningful steps to address the challenges our country faces after decades of Congressional inaction."

But House Republican leaders, led by Johnson, have already deemed it dead on arrival if it gets past the Senate. Former President Donald Trump, looking to make immigration a top issue in the 2024 campaign, has also come out strong against the bill, calling it "ridiculous" and a "trap" for Republicans.

Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., criticized Republicans on both impeachment and the border bill as the House Rules Committee met Monday to mark up the Mayorkas resolution.

"Are you seriously going to come here and look us in the eye with a straight face and claim this is all about the border when you refuse to come together with Democrats and work on the border?" McGovern said. "No, you'd all rather advance this baseless, extreme, unconstitutional impeachment stunt. It's really something else."

House Rules Committee Chair Tom Cole, R-Okla., countered that Mayorkas was a "chief architect" of the border crisis and said the vote is about "accountability."

"Secretary Mayorkas has refused to uphold his oath of office. If he will not do so, his duty, then unfortunately the House must do its constitutional duty," Cole said during the markup.

The White House on Monday called the impeachment effort "unprecedented and unconstitutional."

"Impeaching Secretary Mayorkas would trivialize this solemn constitutional power and invite more partisan abuse of this authority in the future," according to a Statement of Administration Policy. "It would do nothing to solve the challenges we face in securing our Nation's borders, nor would it provide the funding the President has repeatedly requested for more Border Patrol agents, immigration judges, and cutting-edge tools to detect and stop fentanyl at the border."

He perjured himself when he went before Congress and said the border is "secure", which is self-evidently false. He also released a DHS memo in February of 2022 that explicitly says criticizing the government is "domestic extremism".

This shit is a lot scarier than just 1 crashing plane. Nothing is supposed to get signed off on an aircraft until multiple sets of eyes have verified the work. The worker does the job according to the pubs. The collateral duty inspector checks the work and signs it off. Then a QA inspector comes behind the CDI to make sure they inspected it properly. The worker comes back and closes all the panels around the job, double checking that no tools or debris were left inside the airframe. There can be more sign offs required above QA but that's usually only for certain jobs.

For this to fly, a minimum of 3 people, at least 2 having inspection qualifications, had to blow it off. I can't stress enough how strict the aerospace industry is and something like this getting through is egregious. If someone dies and it goes back to the mechanic or inspectors ignoring pubs, they can be held liable and thrown in prison.

 

[Gorillion others]

I just find it funny that people are so adamant to not hear what your enemy thinks. You'd think the people who dismiss murders and rapes as cultural misunderstandings that just need to be listened to would be willing to listen to a different cultures leader, even if they disagree with what he has to say.

No, no. Only government approved enemies can be paged for an interview. I swear, the US never really got over how Russia is this big bad commie country when they haven't been communist in years. Maybe (((that's))) why they still have a chip over it.

Boy I hope this is true about Ronna, she SUCKS.

From what I remember, there have been people in the industry predicting planes falling out of the sky for a couple of years now. Overwork and under funding has resulted in half-assed everything in an attempt to control prices.
