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

 

[The Hardest R]

Why would they do anything to fix infrastructure when leaving it as a problem ensures a neverending avenue of graft?

It’s actually getting so bad that graft is no longer an option in some cases.

 

[The Last Stand]

The pandemic and Summer of Love happened on Trump’s watch.

Yeah, blaming that squarely under Trump isn't fair. Yes, he could've enacted the Insurrection Act blue states be damned. Operation: Warp Speed was meant to handle COVID efficiently; again, several blue strongholds imposed those ludicrous restrictions which collapsed our economy that is being felt NOW.

That was one year. Biden's been a disaster for four

That one year led up to the four years of Bidenomics being an overall disaster for anybody loosely paying attention to the state of this country.

The politician's solution to that is more graft and you know it.

I don't fault Trump for either. Pandemic was unavoidable, plus democrats wanted to impeach Trump instead of preparing for china flu in Jan 2020. The beatification of Floyd was unavoidable too since covid and it was a blue cities issue.

I wish Trump took the quarantine shackles off and reopened everything instead of playing with optics but faggot state democrats wanted to steal the election so badly. Never forget the years they took from you.

The question was if things were better in 2016-2020 or 2021-2024. If you want to cherry pick various exceptions, then that’s not a good answer to provide to that question. 2020 was a watershed moment, we ain’t going back to pre-2020. 9/11 and 2008 are similar watershed moments we’ve never bounced back from.

We really need that “why not both” beaner girl as an emoji.

If you live anywhere remotely sane, you've already "bounced back" from Covid. I can't remember the last time I saw someone in the real world that wore a mask or was social distancing, and I live in a college town that tends to vote blue. The only time I ever see ANY of that shit is if I have to drive by the campus for some reason, and even then it's incredibly rare and it's usually the chinks wearing masks, which they've always done.

 

[George Lucas]

Surprisingly no. In a rarity for this thread the troll is getting no real traction with the only real responses being either to point out the obvious nature of the bait or to use it to piggyback other points!

I think this speaks more to his utter failure as a troll though.

Gehenna’s literally predicted every election wrong and should be a bigger meme than Techpriest but for some reason is regarded as some old wise wizard even though he worked in the swamp we supposedly all hate.

And I’m the troll? Reminder for all of you: Trump has ZERO experience as president. All he ever was was a failed billionaire. Biden is a career politician with over sixty years of experience and already has four years on the job. He has the blue collar roots and work ethic Americans trust. He’s respected by the working class and elderly and is winning all the polls in those demographics. That’s why he won 2020 and why he will win 2024. He’s got a hold on the rust belt tighter than Oriental pussy.

Pink triangle when?

 

[Mr Bunny]

You know what comes after Trump, I'll tell you...

Spoiler: You might not like it, but this is your future

 

[tehpope]

All he ever was was a failed billionaire.

Isn't that an oxymoron? If you're worth a billion dollars, you've gotta be doing something right. Trump didn't inherit a billion dollars from his father or mother. If someone says they're successful and all you see if success after success, they're a liar, its fake, or they're running a ponzi scheme.

 

[FatMan]

Trump has ZERO experience as president.

Biden ... already has four years on the job.

Ok you had me there for a sec, up until this point.

You do that just posting a contrary opinion isn't trolling right?

Saying Trump has 0 experience as president was too much of a tell my guy.

He's literally doing the aussie posting meme, the fact that people are just now catching on is shocking.

The DNC is as bold as ever

I've said this since Trump announced his re-election candidacy (you can ask the Wife): He will never be allowed to win the election, much less be inaugurated. The Establishment is absolutely ready and willing to employ whatever means necessary to achieve that end. No option is off the table for them. If you can imagine it (outside the fictional realms of anime or vidya games, you sick fucks), someone within the entrenched powers has already thought of it and may have even sketched out a rough plan to bring it about.

Fuck AOC is the easiest choice. The question is do you also marry her and kill both, or go your way.

She's definitely a pump-and-dump. It's not even debatable. The longer you hang around, the greater the risk of those donkey chompers tearing a chunk out of you.

What happened to the rule against gimmick posting?

 

[SaidNoOneEver]

A finance blogger I've followed for a long time named Mish Shedlock gives the best analysis I've seen yet on what Biden's endgame is. He believes they're desperately trying to hang on until he's the official nominee because DNC rules say they get to choose the nominee if he quits after. If he's out before being the official nominee then there will be an open convention which would devolve into a civil war. This is the first breakdown I've seen that explains official party rules for losing the candidate.

Here's a snip, the whole post is worth a read:

At a minimum, Biden will try to hang on until July 21. That’s only 13 days from now.

If Biden resigns after the DNC makes it official, even if that’s before the convention, it kills any chance of an open convention.

Then if Biden drops out, the DNC will “choose the new nominee during a special session called by the chair.”

Forget about this nonsense “The DNC chair is required to consult with Democratic congressional leadership and the Democratic Governors Association.”

Consult? So what? The DNC will consult, then it will do what it wants.

Q: What’s that?
A: The obvious: nominate Kamala Harris

I do not believe Biden will last until the election.

If so, the sooner Democrats can dump him the better, with one important exception. The DNC wants to control the process rather than have an open convention free-for-all.

Look for an official nomination announcement on July 21, 22, or 23. My guess is Biden becomes the official nominee on July 22, two weeks from today.

Then sometime before the convention, look for Biden to “voluntarily” quit (perhaps told to quit or else face the 25th amendment) sometime between July 22 and Ohio’s August 7 deadline.

As long as I am going out on a limb, let’s go further. Look for Biden to be off the ticket sometime between August 1-5, replaced by Kamala Harris. This conveniently resolves any potential issue with Ohio and allows (forces) the convention to get excited over Kamala.

The liberal media wants an open convention for obvious reasons (excitement, big party). And the media generally does not want Kamela. This is the ongoing battle right now.

This is the worst bait, in the entire history of bait, ever!

Anecdotally, construction and “the skilled trades” seem to be doing well currently, at least in the southern states. A lot of what I’m seeing is city/state/federal funded projects though, so that can all be chalked up to “government jobs” for the less discriminating eye.

Two small, less than 20 employee, excavating company owners I know from the Gulf Coast have shifted focus from bidding small-medium commercial projects to local and state projects. Within a few weeks of one another, both started talking about getting all their paperwork in order to bid gov projects. They think we're in a for worse collapse of commercial construction than 2008.

It's depressing how few people remember the rule: Hide australian threads, ignore australian posts, do not reply to australian posters.
