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

 

[Pascal's Wagie]

Jeremy sounds worried about Marco Rubio being picked.

Though it sorta sounds like Trump just hinted it isn’t Marco.

I wouldn't mind Marco, he's the inspiration for one of my favorite Trump moments.

Remember when people bring him up and tell you that you never want to be like Neville, they are wrong. Hitler wanted a war. This is always glossed over.

Sort of changes the math.

I think the most insane thing in the voter fraud saga is india has voter id laws and counts votes within a day while USA doesn't have this law and counts votes for a week. A goddamn cow worshipping, street shitting with half of the population doesn't have access to toilet is somehow better in this regard.
A fucking meme country can do this shit but USA cant .

The US can’t because of the logistical issue of calculating the margin required to overturn the vote if the people vote incorrectly and printing enough fraudulent ballots to make the victory look audit proof.

India just counts their votes. Way easier.

Bro it's a Heritage Foundation product, I promise you it isn't Biden recommended

yeah Gorka had on one of the guys behind it yesterday, it seems to be mostly extremely dull internal policy type stuff and not half as exciting as libs make it sound

Beyond just needing something, anything, to fearmonger the base over, the real thing is Project 2025 has the right making plans and organizing, and since that is a MASSIVE force multiplier, the left wants to make absolutely certain the right never, ever does it.

 

[SaidNoOneEver]

Only retards would believe all that.

Right, that's the platform of the KiwiFarms Party.

the real cuck was stanley baldwin. and even he kept on with the policy of rearmament started at the end of the second macdonald ministry, which neville accelerated

Live Election Updates: Pelosi Hints That Biden Could Reconsider Re-Election Run (archive)

George Clooney, the A-list actor who last month co-hosted a $28 million fundraiser for President Biden, wrote in a New York Times opinion piece that Biden should end his presidential campaign. “The one battle he cannot win is the fight against time,” Clooney wrote.

George Clooney, the Hollywood actor and Democratic financial powerhouse who co-hosted a major fund-raiser for President Biden last month, wrote in a New York Times guest essay on Wednesday that Mr. Biden was too old to seek re-election and should end his campaign.

“The one battle he cannot win is the fight against time,” Mr. Clooney wrote. “It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe ‘big F-ing deal’ Biden of 2010. He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.”

At the A.F.L.-C.I.O. event, President Biden made no mention of his debate performance or the questions swirling around him about whether he should be the Democratic nominee. He made one joke, about being 40 years old, but otherwise ignored the calls from supporters — including the actor George Clooney — for him to step aside.

Representative Pat Ryan of New York, one of the Democrats’ most vulnerable congressional incumbents, called on President Biden to step aside as his party’s presidential nominee on Wednesday “for the good of the country,” warning that his continued candidacy could clear the way for former President Donald J. Trump to return to the White House.

Mr. Ryan called Mr. Trump an “existential threat” to American democracy and said that he no longer believed Mr. Biden was capable of making the case necessary to defeat the former president. He urged his party to consider a brief, open competition to replace Mr. Biden on the ballot.

The Biden campaign planned its $28 million Hollywood fund-raiser last month around George Clooney’s schedule. The event required Biden to fly from a Group of 7 gathering in Italy to California and back to Washington in a short period. Biden later blamed jet lag from that trip for his lethargy in the days leading to the first debate and his weak performance during it.

The White House’s explanation for four trans-Atlantic crossings in nine days was simply that Biden had commitments in Washington. But privately, some aides said there were election-year optics to be considered. There was no urgent reason to stay in Europe, and a few down days “might not look right,” one of Mr. Biden’s advisers conceded.

Clooney’s fund-raiser was at the end of the president’s European trips.

This continues to be fascinating to watch, with the True Believers doing what they've always done, committing to tearing down trump at all costs. They don't give a shit about the uniparty 2030 plans, they have their own ideologically driven motivators, and defeating Trump at all costs is one of the list items. If that cost includes Bidens career and aspirations, so be it, an acceptable price to pay to possibly have a better chance at beating Trump.

It is kind of wild to see the Golem turn like that though. Turns out fueling an ideological extremist fringe as a primary platform policy isn't a very good idea and will bite you in the ass.

Still waiting to see the establishment itself turn and start presenting alternatives, but now we got the corporate and media interests turning, and the ideologs turning.

I used to think these were bots but if you go into any comments section that uses the "disqus" comment software you'll see it's filled with what I assume are boomers or older gen x types with 200k comment counts who just sit there all day spouting the same thing over and over again dick riding each other. They all eerily remind me of @Hollywood Hulk Hogan

Wish someone would make a thread about Disqus.

I was actually considering doing that a few weeks ago, it's definitely simmering in the back of my mind for when I have a bit more free time. For some reason my news feed suggested a ten year old article to me, I checked it out for that reason alone, and there was a glorious shitflinging contest going on in the Disqus comments from the last few weeks, complete with gamer words. It gave me the warm fuzzies for sure and I want to dig into more of them. I want to say it was something from The Firearm Blog/TFB, a pro 2A and anti 2A guys arguing

I haven't seen what you're talking about but it definitely sounds like there's gold just waiting to be mined

Obama is not happy Joe said no. So now he's upping the pressure, bringing in his celebrity lefty buddies to speak out

If Joe stays in, that's bigly damage to his campaign, all these people like Jon Stewart, George Clooney, etc., that liberals worship, publicly tossing him under the bus. And there's no way it isn't coordinated. And the only one who could coordinate it, even tacitly, is Barack

 

[Quixotic Man]

Popping over to Reddit and seeing the unhinged Project 2025 ranting is hilarious.

Did you know that conservative would want to get rid of unelected bureaucrats that would actively oppose the elected executive officials agenda? This is SO dangerous to our democracy. Also let me remind you that fundies neo-cons don't like abortions or diversity hiring. This is the most important election ever!

They've seen how their side has been able to effectively push its policies through control of the bureaucracy, regardless of the makeup of Congress, or even who occupies the Oval Office

They're correct to be afraid (from their perspective) at the thought of some other faction gaining even a smidgeon of bureaucratic control

Bingo. Although if it works, we're probably going to see a purging of bureaucracy become the normal move every time the other party wins. They can swiftly reinstate their people who are ready to go, kind of like the UKuck's Shadow Cabinet.

We'll also see term limits for SCOTUS if not court packing within the next decade or two.

That's how it was for a significant proportion of the Republic's history, and it worked just fine. Not coincidentally, that was also the era of the federal government not being so far up the country's asshole

Here's the thing. It already was the case, Trump is just saying he plans to do it openly.

What kind of candy-ass statement is that? It almost reads like one of those articles that @JambledUpWords finds.

I believe Obitchmade put it best when he said "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to fuck things up."

Here's the thing. It already was the case, Trump is just saying he plans to do it openly.

Not only did they purge all of Trump's hires, they did a blanket undo of almost everything he did his term they could do so via EO in the first few weeks. Very few exceptions, mostly of the "our corporate masters like this, it stays" variety.

Trump, on the other hand, I believe kept a lot of the deep staters at least initially, when he could have fired them, IIRC due to bad advice he was given early on.


Wasn't part of the SCOTUS Immunity ruling that Trump absolutely can fire anyone in the executive and no, they can't sue him to stop it?

 

[Absolutego]

I believe Obitchmade put it best when he said "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to fuck things up."

At this point I think that phrase should probably substitute Dr. Jill for Joe.
