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

 

[Drag-on Knight 91873]

I agree with you that that's what the elites want. Price everyone out of every luxury and then own it all.

But with California, I don't think it'll actually work. Eventually, you'll only have people who are net negative on taxes left. they don't drive. They use public transportation. Eventually, you'll piss everyone who has money off and they'll up and leave to greener pastures. Or just not pay your dumb ass taxes.

The thing about California is that every place is so spread out that using a car is a necessity and the state relies on that tax revenue as part of their general budget. Public Transportation doesn't work because of 2 reasons; crime and poor city planning. LA is like Mega City One without the Judges and more race preferences; it's a jumble of freeways, some of them dating back to the early 20th century entering a hub in whatever winding way they can enter. Buses have to navigate this maze and the old roads are too small to build enough trains. Since most people enter the city from the suburbs, they must use cars to get there. As we saw with COVID, anyone who can drive a car and needs to enter the city to go to work is going to insist on remote work if they have to deal with public transportation. It also fucks with employers wanting to keep employees on call as public transportation has the very niggardly attitude of "it gets here when it gets here." The suburbs are similar in this regard because of careless urban management.

So, the end result of this hypothetical is as you describe. Only niggers can live in California. Hence why it can never get to this state as the economic death of California is simply an intolerable result for everyone involved.

Do you really believe this, like the world is preordained?

The GOP neocons won 2000 election, Then went on to spend the political capital to have the great war on terror, then in 2004 we "stayed the course"

How is this losing with dignity?

The GOP new owned up to the Great War on terror the fucking WMD's that sadam had Oh wait no.

That created the back lash in the culture war. The lefts smug moral superiority about maybe we shouldnt water board pedo worshiping goat fuckers

Obama hoodwinked them promises of change.

But no where do you have GOP losing with dignity

John McCain said, in his final written piece before he died, that his greatest honour was to concede to Obama. You're also ignoring Bush Sr, Bob Dole, Mitt Romney and probably a dozen other examples.

The overrated Bush coalition managed to eke out narrow wins in 2000 and 2004 but they're a bunch of losers otherwise. They never fight for anything, they never push back on anything, they never conserve anything. They just lose and do what McCain did, talk about how it's their greatest honour to have lost

I'm not an A&N regular but the Biden thread was very sensible. Shocked someone would close it over arbitrary bullshit.

Jannies here are leftist faggots.

Wendy's burgers have also gone to shit, they used to be good but now they keep the patties on the grill FOREVER to save money so you get a tough dry piece of baseball glove in your burger. Always fresh never frozen doesn't matter when you ultra well done that shit so you use less patties over the course of the day. Hurts the chili too

I loved the Wendy's near where I used to live. The manager had some sort of hiring program where he almost exclusively hired actual retards for the basic level jobs. Along with a couple oldtimers to run herd on them.

The result was the cleanest, most well run Fast food joint I have ever seen. The place was always well-cleaned, the food looked almost like the advertisements, and the staff was always cheery and professional.

Why is Trump wasting his time with these debates?

I actually agree here. It's immensely foolish to agree to anything moderated by any mainstream media.

It's kinda the point. He knows it will be hilariously and obviously biased. Even if nothing else occurs. No killshots, no slam dunks, and Biden manages to do well. It will gift Trump the easiest campaign material as he runs on his own prosecution. Garnering sympathy and entrenching his own base further as he portrays himself as the constant underdog.


Even if -nothing- major happens, it helps him. And there is a decent chance something major could happen.

The Biden admin is playing us right? Why did they use such a fake ass looking picture like this.

Where are lines "we live in"? Like, why censor that bit with a blank white rectangle? Like anyone gives a fuck where they live or that it would make it more/less believable.
All I can think is that the faker made a stupid fucking error with the location, and rather than rewrite it, decided to edit it.
Or, if they did put a town name, the internet autists would find that there are no 8 and 10 year olds by that name.

Come on guys, how hard is it to glomp up a clump of hamburger in your giant powerful mitt and fuckin plop it on a rip-roarin pan or griddle and smash it with your spatula into a nicely golden-seared thin piece of pure USDA-approved American pride?

When I get hamburger meat I use it for just about anything but hamburgers. Tacos, casseroles, stews/chilis/soups, homemade "hamburger helper" style shit in a pan, just never an actual burger. Thinking on it, I don't think making a home-made burger from scratch has the same appeal because I can't really think of any way to improve a burger as significantly as I can all of the aforementioned shit I make with it instead.

Plus when I bother to actually cook I tend to make a huge amount of x thing and eat it over the course of a week, often sending some to my family if I made too much.

Add a little Worcestershire sauce and red pepper flakes to the meat and form it into a ball, not a patty. Put the ball onto a hot cast iron skillet and smash it as flat and thin as possible right at the start and let it cook until it pops free of the skillet on its own, then flip and cook to finish. That will get you a very crispy seared burger with crunchy bits on the edges that is legit better than anything you can get from a restaurant.

The mistake people make at home is starting with patties. Always start with a ball of meat and smash it into a patty on the hot skillet itself. The red pepper flakes add a ton of flavor and a little heat, and tenderize the meat as they heat up and release pepper oils, while Worcestershire sauce really brings out the meaty flavors in any meat dish.

Toast the bun separately with butter, and you've got the best burger you'll ever eat.

 

[LurkTrawl]

Thanks, bookmarked your post to try it out later.

But I sliced this quote out because I wanted to say that I already use more Worcestershire sauce than is probably healthy or sane for anything I make with hamburger, even if I can never be sure if I'm pronouncing it correctly.

 

[Anasûrimbor Kellhus]

They both like to hear themselves talk. CNN will post about how Trump was being disruptive; Trump will post how senile Biden is. That debate will not change anybody's mind of however they feel about them.

yeah agreed. Most people will not watch the actual debate but will get their information with the cut clips and spin put on by their media of choice. Probably I'll do this myself as well. The "debate" between trump and biden has been the experience of the average citizen in the last 8 years.

The moon landing looks more real than this shit is.

 

[Sweeter and Savoury]

As much as I hate to agree with people I agree with @Gehenna

This debate is win-win for Trump.

If be beats Biden into a pedophilic paste in front of America and comes out looking strong

or

The cucked CNN moderators are so blatantly pushing for Biden, and they will need to be running constant inference and cut that mike when ever either Trump starts to get ahead or Biden goes all "senior moment", that the somewhat undecided people watching can't but shake their heads and WTF was that?

Really this is win win for Trump and a serious blunder for Biden. I'm going to venture this is more of the competancy crisis in action here as anyone with a brain would see how this will play out and Biden's team is chocked full of DIEversity.

Or it could backfire on him massively.

Biden debating Trump is kind of like Mike Pence wanting to debate Trump. It isn't about winning or putting yourself over as the more reasonable candidate or anything like that. What it's really about is trying to goad Trump into saying something that will violate his unconstitutional gag orders and get him tossed in prison. Difference is that, unlike Mike Pence, Joe Biden is palpably senile so this has less chance of actually working. But hey, that's what Jake Tapper and the other CNN piece of shit is there for.

You know, had the Uniparty gave up on trying to look like they're a actually fine government a few years ago, I bet they would've openly assassinated Trump when he was brought into Presidency and announce their evil plans for world domination by stating their entire quota before killing anyone who doesn't do The SaluteTM.

Yes I know that sounds cartoonishly evil and incompetently, but from what we have seen done by them over the past decade, I'd not be surprised if that was a serious thought.

At some point they absolutely drew up "the plan" to deal with him. I doubt right after 2016, maybe a few years in once they realized they couldn't get him to play ball and didn't have an epstein island tape to blackmail him with. DEFINITELY after 2020 when he refused to lose with dignity. And the closer we get to November? The more serious that planning is going to be.

I've heard some takes (from conservative-ish sources) that are more "this is tricky because the expectations for Biden are so amazingly low that as long as he doesn't drop a hard R or literally die on-stage it'll be a boost for him with his base"

[Rykel22]

On Trump V Biden(and everyone else in that stage) debate: Trump knows it'll be a lions' den situation, but by forcing Biden to be on the stage, he can try and goad him into saying something. We've seen Biden get baited before and there he won't have someone next to him to try and keep him on task. Even an earpiece feeding him responses or directions can't keep him from physically reacting or going off script. All Trump has to do is not appear too much like a bully to win and even that could work if the Biden Breakdown is too much.
