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

 

[pwnest injun]

Yeah, im not sure why Pritzker would abandon his fiefdom just to have his dealings scrutizined by the international press. Especially now that the fed case against Michael Madigan is scuttled by SCOTUS' Snyder v United States. Madigan isnt going to be happy Pritzker ratted him out to the feds.

With Pritzker's brother being the ur-Troon, I would actually go out and canvass against that fat piece of shit.

I have no idea where you’re drawing these predictions from. Trump was the greatest thing that ever happened to left wing media. They made oodles of cash and radicalized their remaining audience into religious consumers of their screeds. The businesses themselves are certainly now stacked with more anti-Trump ideologues than pro-money businessmen.

What makes you think they would do anything but capitalize on Trump for one last hurrah? Of course, it’s the last time they’ll ever be able to do it. After Trump is gone, their viewership will crash and they’ll relatively quickly start to fall away. But there’s no indication that they’ll be doing anything but continuing to play their little game of TDS musical chairs until the music stops.

Because Trump might use all those anti-Journalist laws Obama did on them. Instead of perceived harassment, Trump can harass them under the Espionage Act and people will not care because of their psychotic decade led to them lying to regular people.

I think Trump is right. This whole system is broken and needs to be overhauled. Don't mistake me. I don't think Trump is the answer, but the system needs an overhaul.

It's probably what The Great Reset will be IRL, the transition away from the Republic to the Empire. Can't say it's undeserved when the democratic process is so rotten nothing works right.

New Mexico is solid blue, the dems gerrymandered that state HARD.

It's way worse.

They have NIMBYd the entire state so that the only way to earn any money to survive there is to work for the state or the feds.

Everyone else working in the service economy that caters to the pleasures of the elderly liberals who live there makes below the level necessary need to survive. Largest percentage population that is on SNAP than any other state.

All heavy industry is banned and farm and ranch expansion is banned through zoning.

They're still trying to figure out how to crush digital nomads because 2% of them are conservative and they see that as a threat.

Every single conservative voter that's there is among the Hispanic underclass. That's also a constant fear among the whites in Santa Fe.

They learned not to fuck with the part of the Navajo Nation that is in their state because when the Feds banned them from mining they turned conservative.

They are constantly worried about El Paso. If El Paso ever turns red, Alberqurque is next.

He’s currently about to speak at black church.
The handlers have forgotten to pre-load him with the prompt to remember to close his eyes to pray.



ETA- after his “only the Lord God Almighty can make me drop out of the race” comment, I’m watching this appearance with double the odds he’s going to get struck down.

I can't believe they let him around blacks at all after that "I'm the first black female president" goof.

In that ABC interview Friday he did say the only way he's dropping out is if God tells him to. Maybe that's what this is. Jesus is holding an intervention with the black people.

Democrats are beginning to coalesce behind Vice President Kamala Harris as the best option to replace President Joe Biden if he were to drop out of the race—and while she appears to be the most seamless pick to replace him, her mixed record and low approval rating could hurt her chances against former President Donald Trump.S

ome top Democrats have begun to openly suggest Harris is the most viable replacement for Biden, as some polls show she would perform better in a hypothetical matchup against Trump than Biden does.

.Harris’ relatively low approval rating (37%, according to Five Thirty Eight’s latest polling average) is a concern for Democrats if she were to replace Biden, though the numbers are partly a reflection of the president, whose approval rating is roughly similar.

Throughout her tenure, Harris has been accused of being absent from the public stage and she’s been hit with critical reviews of her job performance, including a cutting October New York Times profile that declared “the vice president is still struggling to make the case for herself” and a 2021 CNN story that revealed tension between the White House and Harris’ office.

During a trip to Guatemala just six months into her tenure, when she was tasked with handling immigration, she angered progressives by telling Guatemalans “do not come” to the U.S., then sparked even more backlash when she told NBC’s Lester Holt when asked why she hadn’t visited the U.S. border “and I haven’t been to Europe, I don’t understand the point you’re making.”

Weeks later, when her first border visit was announced, it blindsided her staff, according to Politico, which reported—citing an unnamed staffer—the communication lapse was reflective of a dysfunctional and “abusive” environment, with a high turnover rate and top-down mentality in which staffers’ ideas were often dismissed (Harris’ spokesperson firmly pushed back on the characterization in response to Politico).

Harris’ campaign for president in 2020, when she was serving as a California senator, underperformed expectations, and she was forced to end her bid before primary voting even began after struggling to reverse her low polling numbers and shore up financial support, with a 2019 Times article documenting a series of strategic missteps and staffing problems.

Harris has also faced a barrage of criticism from the left about her decades-long career as a prosecutor (she served as San Francisco District Attorney from 2004-2010 then as California Attorney General from 2011-2017), including that she didn’t do enough to investigate police misconduct and that she oversaw nearly 2,000 convictions for marijuana-related offenses during her time as AG.

As I stated previously, and as the media continues to support, Harris was never a viable candidate. It becomes more and more apparent that their 'dei' replacement stunt is floundering. Otherwise, they would have continued to flaunt a woman of color and the first female vice president. Had she been a more charismatic politician, this could have easily overshadowed any controversy with Joe Biden."

The music is fucking atrocious. I thought that was the point of black churches, the good music.
Maybe they will wheel out a coffin at the end and just tip him into it and be done with it.

Because it didn’t.

Most of the businesses are losing money in mass with Disney (ABC) and Warner (CNN) being some key examples. Any gains made from Trump have severely gone downwards.

Hell, CNN actually costed Warner a shitload with their TDS sperging. Thanks to CNN, Warner was cut off from a massive merger post-2016, and as a result, Warner had to siphon the costs by killing off Cartoon Network and other owned channels.

"Donald Trump specifically hated Warner Bros because they own CNN, so he wouldn't let that merger go through," Jones-Quartey said in a streaming interview with Nico Colaleo on Creative Talent Network. The delays not only impacted streaming plans but also Cartoon Network's budget."Warner-owned studios basically got stuck in a holding pattern while they waited for this merger to go through, so there wasn't allowed to be any new spending or any new seasons or anything like that without having trade-offs for other things," he explained.

Even in the comedy-sphere, Trump is pretty much dead. The Daily Show was heading downward till they could pull in nostalgia boomers through Stewart’s return. Even SNL lost 35% of their viewership, with it noted they cannot get young people (Gen Z) to watch it:

Over the past several years, "SNL" has received up-and-down ratings. In 2021, Season 47 saw a 35% drop in ratings from the previous year. The New York Postremarked that these ratings were similar to those of the final two episodes of Season 46, noting that it may be the start of a new normal for “SNL.”

In 2022, in an article for The Wrap, writer Benjamin Svetkey pointed out Season 48's low viewership by stating, "The program's audience has been shrinking for decades: This season's premiere pulled in only four million viewers, making it the least-watched in the series' history."

The only part that would change a turning tide is the idealouges that have filled these companies since the 2010s still having control, along with Black Rock still giving hand-outs.

It's great. He just says 10 words at random and completely nukes the credibility of black race activists. Then he pulls out his token (Warnock) to fool those old black women over and over again.

Remember in 2020 everyone's black auntie held their nose and voted hard for him in the primaries. Now they get to deal with this cringe.

 

[Polyboros2]

They will kill Biden. Everyone will know they killed Biden, but that he died of completely natural causes will be all that's allowed to be written down for posterity.

They'll probably go so far as to say they examined his brain in the autopsy and saw no signs of neurological degradation.

Absolute classic

Right out the gate getting called out for it.

This is Joepedo's speech writing team. 15 people, Black Lesbian Press Secretary looks to be the boss, didn't earn it everywhere, and two white guys in the back who seem to actually be writing.

Remember this photo every time you see horrible tweets from Joepedo and the Biden Harris HQ.

Guarentee you, no one is doing actual work there.

It's 90% chit-chatting while they all drink their favorite Starbucks drink and order take-out. The two white guys are the only ones doing anything rsembling work.
