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

 

[Forest Portal Triumph 747]

It would be karmic justice for chomo joe and 'dr' jill to continue to be so obstinate in remaining in power to the point where all Democrats running in remotely competitive races, end up sinking alongside them.

 

[AN/ALR56]

This is Wikipedia being retarded. Nobody thinks of the Annexation of Crimea and the current as being the same war. It’s like calling WWI and WWII the same war.

A better comparison would be the first(civil and colonial war between France and vietnamese communists) and the second Indochina wars(US involvement in Vietnam).
Both happened within 10 years of each other, just like Crimea and the Donbass and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Call me crazy, but maybe there’s a reason the three letter niggers want to help this guy out so much as opposed to being an active force against a certain someone who also happened to be president at the time.

The big conspiracy theory they are trying to run with is orange man russian agent again because his plane is parked near a russian embassy plane at dulles. These people literally have brain rot

The Dulles airport has so many diplomatic, political and 'high profile' flights going in and out that it has dedicated heightened security zones with additional scrutiny and screening. Trump and his plane fall into two of those categories, both because he is high profile (former president, under Secret Service protection) and political (he's running for President and has Secret Service protection), so of course they are going to park his plane in the high security zone. The French and Australian planes are probably right next to his plane as well., this means nothing.

 

[The Ugly One]

It's like when a large project is going badly and senior leadership finally catch on that all the "don't worry - we'll hit the delivery" is bullshit and suddenly start getting involved trying to sort it out in a panic.

I wish the large project was something other than utterly destroying America and turning it into a Third World shithole.

 

[Atomic Ant]

Despite what others claim, I actually do no think that Kamala was made Vice President because she makes Joe look good. Rather, I say that was because she banged her way to the top while being a 'WOC'.

I think there's two primary reasons she was put on the ticket:

1. "black girl magic" pandering to women and minorities. In this way, her personaliy was irrelevant. She was the first black female vp candidate with a chance to be the first female vp. This is red meat for a portion of the democrat base in a similar way that Pence was for Trump with evangelicals.

2. She was the favored choice of the DNC (read: Clinton). They were obviously setting her up in the 2020 primaries, until she proved to be unelectable. Tulsi made Kamala look so stupid in that debate that the powerbrokers that wanted her in had to completely rethink their strategy. By making her VP to Methuselah they probably figured there was a chance they would just get lucky and get president Harris despite her unelectability.

I realize now what Biden's response during the debates reminded me of.

I happen to know a few people who are stroke survivors - my uncle, and one of my old friends. They're still very smart people, but due to actual fucking brain damage they have trouble communicating; one stumbles over his words a lot and the other has difficulty starting or finishing words or sentences. Due to extensive time with them, I have absolutely no trouble understanding them, which both find very reassuring (remember to be there for the people you care about, Kiwis, they need it as much as you need them).

Biden sounds almost the exact way, but there's a distinct difference: When I listen to my uncle or my friend, I have zero trouble understanding exactly what the fuck they're trying to say and why. Their intelligence and ability to explain things is undiminished, they just have difficulty communicating and once you figure that out understanding them becomes second-nature. But with Biden, I have no idea what the fuck he's trying to say at any given moment. At best, I can liken the experience to trying to discern the ramblings of a drunk trying to explain a rambling story of how he got extra fries this one time at Wendy's. At worst, you can tell that he has serious issues even understanding where the fuck he is or why.

It's kind of sad to witness. I remember reading somewhere that Trump lost his dad to Alzheimer's - first metaphorically, as he couldn't remember anything, and then literally when the disease took his life. I can only imagine what he must have felt looking at Biden across the stage and seeing the level of decline he went through just from 2020. No wonder he looked fucking depressed.

Watch him walk with Jill and then look up videos of “Parkinson’s Gait”. That “shitting his pants” look he gets where he suddenly stops and hunches over is 100% Parkinson’s Gait.

It also effects speech. How much of this fits Biden:

If you have Parkinson’s disease, some of the voice and speech difficulties seen include:

• Softened voice. Reduced volume to your voice.
• Speaking in an unchanging pitch (monotone).
• Having a hoarse or strained quality to your voice.
• Having a breathiness to your voice. Breathiness in the quality of your voice that is easily heard by your listeners. It takes more effort and energy to speak. You “run out of gas” as you speak.
• Trouble clearly and easily pronouncing letters and words.
• Tremor in your voice.
• Slurring of your speech.
• Using short rushes of speech.
• Loss of your facial expression.

If you have Parkinson’s disease, you may not be aware of the problems with your spoken communication. Changes in the quality of your voice may be the first sign of speech problems followed by the inability to have fluid speech and clear and distinct speech sounds. Speech problems that are severe enough to reduce your ability to be easily understood usually do not occur until later in the course of Parkinson’s disease.

HHH being considered by the site's mods/admins to be some sort of well regarded wise elder poster who contributes just so much to the site has always confused the shit out of me.

A more worthless poster does not exist.

One of things that really bothers me are gimmick posters and how much null and the mods sweep for them and then gaslight you about how they are harmless.

 

[Myrtle the Turtle]

I think there's two primary reasons she was put on the ticket:

You're forgetting the events of 2020. Fentanyl Floyd died in May and democrats and progressives went all in with race that year. If that hadn't happened, they probably would have gone with a Tim Kaine running mate. It wasn't enough to just pander to women, they had to appeal to blacks too by the end of the summer.

There actually used to be a formal rule against gimmick accounts/gimmick posting, not sure why that went away since they are never funny and rarely contribute anything.

Biden had two brain aneurysms back in the 80s, when he first ran for President. So yes, Biden is literally brain damaged.

If they get rid of Biden, Trump is in troub- oh.

This poll is probably bad because it's a "flash poll" and it's another online poll, but it's still pretty funny that replacing Biden with Copmala, Whitmer, Newsom, Pritzker, Bootyjudge, Shapiro, Klobuchar, or Booker, gibs the same results: Trump ahead by 2-3 points. It's more like a "Trump vs. Democrat" poll as Copmala gets nowhere near that close to Trump in any other poll

I think so too actually. It's not inconceivable that Biden suffered a stroke sometime in the last two years and it was covered up and never reported on.

There is that weeklong period right around the time Iran and Israel started trading missiles that Biden completely fucking disappeared, to the point that even the NYT was yelling at him for inaction. The last thing he did before heading to camp David for a while was the discount Red Line speech where he literally told Iran "don't" and that was the sum of his objection to their plan.
At the time I chalked it up to foundational conflicts among his staff between the semitophilic wing backed by AIPAC and all the ex-Obama staffer millennials who hated Israel, but it might've been because he literally stroked out when the missiles started flying, and had to recuperate while his press secretary stumbled her way through her binder of vague talking points for a week.

He does seem to take a break whenever something happens.

He vanished for a while during the botched Afghanistan pullout. He vanished when Hamas attacked Israel. He vanishes for like a week at a time.

Then it comes out "Oh, he's perfectly capable 10AM to 4PM."

You wouldn't accept a fucking burger flipper who could only work those hours and we're supposed to be fine with the president being like that?

Here's something to keep you up at night...

As the nuclear chain of command is compromised, that means that the contingencies kick in.

Whose got the football? (DOCTOR Jill can't authorize shit, neither can Kacklama) Whose the initiating agent at the top? Whose the top authorization?

Or did they completely remove the President from the football like they did in 1988?

Whose in charge of nukes and more?

DOCTOR Jill, duh. They don't give a shit about protocol and all that. Whatever whatever they do what they want. Who is going to rat them out? Nobody, the White House and Pentagon aren't full of people who hate the president, they're full of true beleebers in our sacred Democratic Partyocracy

 

[Calandrino]

If they get rid of Biden, Trump is in troub- oh.

When presented with an additional list of statements, likely voters say they have heard the most about the statement: “The only person on this stage [who] is a convicted felon is the man I'm looking at right now” (68% hearing “a lot” or “a little”). This is followed by “I really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence” (64%) and “I didn’t have sex with a porn star” (64%).

The writing on this show gets funnier every season

The left is definitely trying to have a quiet civil war, and the legacy media is definitely hard team replace. I suspect at this point only White House and campaign staff, and Obama loyalist, are team keep. I think the fix is in, and the real battle now is who.

WH/Biden campaign/Obama loyalists are die-hard keep

Wider DNC&co were keep out of pragmatism because they know Biden stands the best chance of winning

MSM are hard replace because they’re retarded prog true believers who seriously think Newsom et al. have a better chance of winning than Biden

I don’t know what the DNC&co’s current stance is in light of the MSM’s betrayal. Keeping Biden is likely no longer a tenable position because they needed the MSM to provide cover, which they now seem unwilling to do.

A more worthless poster does not exist.

It's funny how Null regards him somewhat favorably as an OG farmer and shit disturber (2013 reg date I think, so fair enough), but then also rails against A&N spergs and instituted pink triangles, when I don't think I've ever encountered HHH in an actual Lolcow thread, and 90%+ of his shit is the lowest effort contrarian "hurr durr go suck the cheeto's dick once youre done taking it in the ass from a rethuglican pastor" ragebait. And not even funny ragebait like Dyn's.

The thing about HHH is that while he's contrarian as fuck and often to a fault, he's also one of those posters who inspires people to act like complete fucktards through his actions, much more so than many of our resident shit disturbers, and I for one respect the fuck out of the guy for it. A few years back there was a giant fucking rolling convo ball that kept inviting like half of the A&N board in while actively trying to keep him out of it like he was the herald of the end times, and both times I was invited into them, I fully intended to invite HHH into the conversation myself for the sake of breaching the hugbox if several other Kiwis hadn't beaten me to the punch.

Anyone who can cause that level of rage via simply fucking existing is absolutely worthy of respect on this website.
