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

 

[Coptakhenaten]

You're right and as a Catholic it's genuinely conflicting. It's hard to reconcile faith with common sense politics sometimes and there are things I just don't know the answer to. I probably shouldn't be on this board, but there's nowhere else I can be as blunt about my beliefs as I can on here. I doubt God is a Farmer, if you know what I mean.

Bible still enforces the fact that states must protect their people and enforce law and order. The church authorities are corrupt, the sacred scripture and tradition isn't. It is up to the laity to keep the clergy in line.

One must wonder during this all talk of the 25th Amendment going on, how loyal is Biden's Cabinet?

I don't think they can pull of a 25A removal before the convention so then how do they choose a nominee not to mention run a campaign for a few weeks?

For those who wanted to know what was under Trump's bandage.

Makes me want to convert to either Mormonism or Evangelicalism

Don't do that man, there are things more important than politics. Talk to actual good Catholics too, not cynical internet people like me.

I love how this thread went from Doomer/ Joever central to High Energy, hopeful readiness to seize American destiny

Truly the best thread on A&N right now.

can you clarify that statement a bit more? I am a little confused.

edit: and tired. It's been a hellva day and my brain is a little slow

If the Democrats eek out a victory in November their legitimacy would be so shot their only option is to go full purge mode to hold onto power.

I wonder what the DNC will be like

That's an imposter paid by that slanderous troll Ted Dibiase to get plastic surgery to look like me, brother

Admit it confess your love to the obese boomer conman who loves rent free in your head.

Harris/Newsom, calling it now.

Someone can correct me if it's changed, but you can't have two folks from the same state as both the presidential and vice presidential nominee. I know for Bush and Cheney, they were able to let it fly due to Cheney having relocated for 5-some years, but I don't know if that'd work for a Kamala/Newsom ticket (atleast not without tons of bickering over it).
Also, that's not a ticket that would incite any enthusiasm. You've got a crooked prosecutor, and the man who tried to pull strings to exempt his buddy who owns panera bread from suffering one of Cali's many useless and crippling minimum wage hikes.
Also, the other 49 hate Californians. Most of Californians north of Sac-town hate Californians, too. Fuck THAT ticket, dude.

You are a fool if you don't think the gutting of the Chinese Economy isn't a existential threat

The Chinese Economy is already one bad day away from a complete collapse. They have undue influence throughtout the world due to them selling the world slave labor at bargain prices and keeping that away from view of white women -- remember a year or two back when they made a massively bad bet on Nickel and they forced the London Stock Exchange to shut down and undo the trade to save their asses? Their entire economy is under the effects of a massive, MASSIVE pyramid scheme of real estate development that had all the best parts of Central Planning ("Lets build homes for 4 billion more Chinese people, it's a growth industry") combined with Chinese dumbfuckery not understanding the most basic aspects of the capitalism they're trying to implement in a bubble ("No, the prices can't go down despite none of these buildings selling, what are you talking about?")

A second Trump Term will involve the only economy on Earth that could go up against them and win being openly hostile to them, while being lead by one of the most successful businessmen in the world -- and they're at the point that a single well placed stick could cause the entire gearwork of their economy to shatter, for good.

 

[Fahrenheit451]

I think people are trusting the MSM too much. Multiple senior Biden staffers have come out to dispute the claims of Biden dropping out. For example, The fact of the matter is that there's still a fight to get him out, and the media is lying about the outcome to push their desired result.

Please...and I feel like I am repeating 2020.

Go volunteer.

Get involved.

We have won nothing.

The DNC wins because they pay retards to hit the street. The RNC will not do it so consider your pay your way of life.

Please...get up off your fat asses and pitch in.

Go touch grass and hand out some fucking literature.

Agreed.

I felt a sense of dread in 2020 (a stark contrast to 2016, when I was actually confident that Trump was going to win-- still pissed I didn't place bets on anything, btw lol). I'm not feeling that same sense of dread this time around, however, complacency is not an option.

I don't think that most Trump voters are complacent either, after what happened in 2020. I'm seeing a sense of enthusiasm that I haven't witnessed since the 2008 Election for Obama, honestly. In my opinion, that enthusiasm means that people are excited to vote for him.

People still need to be reminded that the Democrats have a decent chance of winning back the House this year, for starters (and I think that if any cheating happens, it's going to ensure that this happens for the Dems). If Trump wins, but the Dems get the House, we know we're going to see another impeachment on Day One, and the House Dems will do everything they can to defund and cuck Trump on literally everything.

Trump winning the election is far from the only fight to ensure that this Democrat nightmare has ended.

No, he did not. The Chinese lady/channel that's the sole source is a known false-info channel. Asians who follow that space have been laughing hysterically at us since that "news" broke in the US MSM. She's literally a meme in Asia.

Welp. This is why I try to keep my nose out of foreign affairs. I just do -not- follow it closely enough to sort out BS from truth.

In order to continue existing they need to prove they can deliver to their component parts. They have so far rather utterly failed to do so. Even with Uniparty GOP trying to help them where it isn't suicidal. So in order to continue existing they'd need to pack the courts, persecute anyone even vaguely related to Trump, crack down on the general citizens, and then ram through every social policy they failed to in this administration.

I don't think they can pull of a 25A removal before the convention so then how do they choose a nominee not to mention run a campaign for a few weeks?

I don't think a 25A is even remotely possible, that would destroy the Dems for years. Attacking their own president that way and making him the first ever to be removed under that clause. It would be seen as the greatest betrayal by a large part of the party. The only one maybe on board would be the progressives as they might see it as a chance to seize the DNC leadership but that wouldn't happen either. You think the normal Democratic platform is a hard sell the you just wait until you see what the Proggies have in mind for America.

Not happening. Biden would be murdered before they choose that route.

 

[Throng of Titans]

Harris/Newsom, calling it now.

Newsom would like to be pres, but he doesn't want to get put onto the ticket in what's likely a suicide run that will tank his real chance in 2028.

Harris is power hungry and stupid enough to take the nomination if it's offered, though.

I kind of want them to 25th amendment Biden, just so Kamala can be the first woman president for less than half a year, thus making "we need to elect the first woman president" no longer something the left can whine about/use to promote candidates.

Newsome is not giving up being Governor of California, the largest state and 7th largest economy in the world to be Kamala's VP on a ticket that's going to lose in historic fashion. It's just not happening.
