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

 

[Mr. Manchester]

Why I am not voting a third time is operation warp speed.

I can understand this. Trump panicked during covid and immediately kneeled to a ton of bullshit that still haunts us today. At least two years of his administration were supporting an untested vaccination (which I still think was just sugar water) and trying his best to look like some great protector who could solve any problem. Being perfectly honest here, but Biden's retardation isn't the only thing that caused inflation. I remember that free check for 1200(?) dollars that was sent out to every single American citizen because he was too afraid of losing to just say, "don't shut down your businesses". That's on top of all the other bailouts and free money tossed to god knows what.

Of course the minute Biden got in he slung another $700 or so at the public just to save face. Weird that when you print money it's worth less. Who knew?

I guess maybe the guy who made this.


As per usual I'll be throwing my useless blue state vote at Trump out of spite and who knows? Maybe Trump will be just spiteful enough to not bend the knee this time. I did say I was choosing to be optimistic for a while after all.

There is something wrong with white women. You don't see this kind of degeneracy in other culture even if they don't marry and have kids. It's uniquely a caucasian phenomenon. There is something wrong with white people.

I'm glad you're waking up to it. What the fuck happened?

great post, familly and friends coming to the same conclusion as time goes on. Sugar water, the plague or the mark of the troon, I gives no fucks other than as a free man in the freeist country in the world, the collective is going to dictate medicine i will take. . . . fuck right off ..... Freedom is a personal choice, I am a free man, I am in no debt, I control what goes in my body, and I know who created me. .

From what I've seen, this seems to be more of a "western women" thing in general. Even Asians, Blacks, Indians and Latinos who grew up in the U.S. do stuff like this. There's a stark contrast between fresh-off-the-boat Asians and Africans and what their kids turn out to be like.

 

[Sekirodiealot]

That ridiculous opening question where she says "You claim Obama wasn't born in the country which is not true". It is true. He was born in Kenya. And we cannot undo his presidency at this point, so give it a rest.


It would be poetry in motion to watch them shift gears from "It's impossible to rig the election you're sore losers" to "RUSSIA STOLE THE ELECTION" again at breakneck speed. I truly believe that if Trump somehow wins the election, the manner he uses to overcome the cheating will be used as a proof he cheated and they will whip their voter base into such a violent frenzy that they will ABSOLUTELY repeat January 6th but violently.

And I don't mean 'sort of Jan 6th', but actually the same thing but they try to burn down the capitol building instead of posing for selfies at the speaker's podium. And the Dems will 100% justify it so long as none of congress is injured. Because that is how they play the game every time.

I look forward to the "other rioters didn't try to stop peaceful transfer of power" shit thrown back at them.

Why I am not voting a third time is operation warp speed.

"Operation Warp Speed" was just them stroking Trump's ego and making him think that he had anything to do with the "vaccine" whatsoever, when it had been ready to go since at least 2019.

To be fair to Trump, my recollection is that Trump was strongly opposed to forced vaccination. He pushed the creation of a vaccine (that was just the flu vaccine because that's what 99% of Covid was) but he did not push mandatory vaccination. That was Biden once he won the election. (before that point he was pushing the idea that the vaccine was dangerous and untrustworthy)

Ultimately though my take is that no politician is perfect. That's why I voted for Trump to begin with. I disliked a bunch of his policies but I disliked all the other policies of all the other candidates too, including indies. I prefer one that will push the nation in a direction I want generally than any that push ways I definitely don't want. And if they just do nothing, I'll take that too.

I look forward to the "other rioters didn't try to stop peaceful transfer of power" shit thrown back at them.

They never listen. They always 180 every president and refuse to admit they did it.

God Beto is such a fucking loser. I'm glad he's been made irrelevant now from his own failures.

2019 (the year before the "pandemic"):

This year, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, also set out its investment case for renewed funding, which they hope to secure in London next June.

London "next June":
https://archive.is/ZlvxV

AstraZeneca has taken the next steps in its commitment to broad and equitable global access to the University of Oxford’s COVID-19 vaccine, following landmark agreements with the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), Gavi the Vaccine Alliance, and the Serum Institute of India (SII).

The Company today reached a $750m agreement with CEPI and Gavi to support the manufacturing, procurement and distribution of 300 million doses of the vaccine, with delivery starting by the end of the year. In addition, AstraZeneca reached a licensing agreement with SII to supply one billion doses for low and middle-income countries, with a commitment to provide 400 million before the end of 2020.

Together, the agreements mark the latest commitments to enable global access to the vaccine, including to low and middle-income countries, beyond AstraZeneca’s recent partnerships with the UK and US. The Company is building a number of supply chains in parallel across the world to support global access at no profit during the pandemic and has so far secured manufacturing capacity for two billion doses of the vaccine.

 

[Overly Serious]

Pfeizer actually delayed the announcement they had a vaccine by two days so that the news came out after voting. They knew that if Operation Warpspeed led to an announcement of success before the vote, it would count in Trump's favour. This isn't supposition, the timelines for its development show they announced it days after they had it. I guess it's supposition that the reason they delayed it was to hold it back until after the election, but it's a pretty good supposition.

Also, point of correction Covid isn't a flu-variant, it's a common cold variant (Corona virus). Different family. And there was good reason for world leaders to be scared. Because whilst the media was running stories about it coming from an armadillo in a Chinese market, I would hope that the US President had the accurate story about it being an engineered virus in a lab. That's pretty scary.

 

[Jade Philosophies]

Also, point of correction Covid isn't a flu-variant, it's a common cold variant (Corona virus).

And that's why there were so many false positives in tests (remember Elon and others taking 2 tests at the same time and getting different results?), since they had trouble distinguishing COVID-19 from a cold.

 

[Fanatical Phrenologist]

The polls now are all shit. The dems are in relief from not having to run Joe again, but don't realize they have someone bad so they're in a fever dream euphoria.

Money where the mouth is matters right now more than polls. She is below Biden still from APRIL!

I had a peek to see whose odds they were sampling, and I want to provide some context. These implied probabilities are based off of European bookmakers' lines (retail sportsbooks in the US cannot legally offer odds on politics) and prediction exchanges (which is the only legal way that Americans can "bet" on elections). The odds on a sportsbook are determined by the bookmaker and are generally not influenced too heavily by which side people are placing wagers on. It is a common misconception that the book will move the line to "balance" the amounts wagered on either side and guarantee a profit, but this is both difficult to achieve and mathematically unnecessary. Expected value is a Lebesgue integral and therefore linear: if the bookmaker is confident they know the true probability of the event, they will simply set the payouts for either outcome to be low enough to make sure they have positive expected value on every wager they take. By the law of large numbers, utilizing this strategy across all markets will make the book profitable long term. At the time of writing, Betfair is offering -150 odds on a Trump victory, which RCP has in turn translated to a 55% chance of a win, implying a 8.7% vig. For comparison, an NBA point total over-under is usually priced at -110/-110, which imputes a 4.5% vig. Higher vig usually suggests less confidence on the part of the bookmaker.

On the other hand you have prediction exchanges like PredictIt and Polymarket where the prices are effectively determined by the userbase. PredictIt is particularly bullish on Kamala Harris; theirs is the only platform that has her ahead of Trump. A share on Harris sells for $0.52. If you HODL and she wins, you can redeem that share for $1.00. However, the site charges a 10% fee on any profits you make from a trade and 5% on all withdrawals (including your initial deposit). Let's say I wager one unit on Kamala and she wins. My profit is 0.923 units, reduced to 0.831 after the 10% winners' fee. I then lose 5% of my 1.831 balance after withdrawal, ultimately profiting 0.739. If p is the probability of a Kamala presidency, you win 0.739 units with probability p and lose 1 unit with probability (1-p). Thus, for this to be a worthwhile investment, we'd need to have
0.739p - (1-p) > 0
or, in other words, at least a 57.5% chance of her winning. If you truly believe that, then your interests would be better served by betting on her elsewhere.

i found this article:

The Harris campaign desperately tries to create the appearance of excitement.​

The Kamala Harris presidential campaign is in full swing, and in keeping with the Democrats’ safe space neo-segregationist principles, it organized a series of mass Zoom calls oriented to different demographic groups. Inspired by a supposedly organic gathering of 90,000 black women on Zoom, other “identity groups” wanted in, with conclaves planned for “Black queer men, South Asian women, Latinas, Native women, and white men.” Not wishing to intrude on anyone’s curated spaces, I logged on to “White Dudes for Harris” on Monday night to see what the Harris campaign was asking of me and 100 million other white American men.
The moderator of the event was a scraggly-bearded and top-knotted Democrat political operative called Ross Morales Rocketto, who kicked off the meeting by “addressing the elephant in the room,” namely the problematic nature of an assembly of white men, “because throughout American history, when white men have organized, it was often with pointy hats on.” Rocketto explained that “masculinity as a trope has been coopted by the MAGA Right into something that feeds into the loneliness epidemic,” leading ultimately to destructive behaviors.
Rocketto introduced the evening’s introductory speaker who, unsurprisingly, was black. Maurice Mitchell, the national director of the Working Families Party, served as a kind of validator, reassuring anyone concerned about an all-white gathering of men that he “represents millions of members who come from all ethnicities, including a lot of white dudes.” Mitchell cautioned that “white nationalists in MAGA want to speak for you,” and the failure to denounce them signals our acceptance. “Don’t allow this fringe cult to speak for you,” he urged us, but stand up “in the spirit of solidarity” with Kamala Harris and “get in formation with the forces uniting against fascism.”
The first ten minutes of what turned out to be a 3-hour call set the tone: reject the Ku Klux Klan cross-burnings of your MAGA past, white man, and cast your lot with the common run of humanity. The following speakers delivered variations on this theme, some less eloquently than others. Jeff Bridges, who played “the Dude” in The Big Lebowski, somewhat ramblingly suggested that white men would be better off if they rejected the Vice President’s call for her supporters to “fight,” and instead embraced “surrender.” Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg praised Harris’s emphasis on “Freedom” as a theme of her campaign, and spoke of the “freedom of the Inflation Reduction Act,” and the “freedom of infrastructure.”
This synod, and others in the series of demographically-focused virtual gatherings, represents the waning thrill of the Democrats’ exciting honeymoon with their newfound candidate. The three weeks following Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance were a dark night of the soul for the Democrat Party and its media handmaidens. For the first time in years, the newspapers and television networks delivered conflicting reports about politics as different factions behind the scenes offered various scenarios of how the Biden campaign would play out. In the absence of a coherent narrative delivered from a single authoritative source, reporters floundered as they tried to make sense of a complex and changing course of events. Trained only in stenography, their confusion mirrored the discombobulation behind the scenes.
The evident dismissal of Joe Biden from the campaign, reportedly organized as a kind of palace coup or putsch by party grandees, followed by the installation of Vice President Harris, gave everyone involved—from insiders to reporters to donors to image makers—an adrenaline rush. It was a relief to have a candidate who, despite her other flaws, wouldn’t dissociate while on television.
The nonstop public relations orgy of adulation that has attended Harris’s emergence as the candidate, however, has not had much impact offline. For all the talk about energy, excitement, and “vibes,” poll numbers have not flipped, and the race on the ground is not all that different from what it was before Biden stepped down. Electoral politics are additive. Are there many Trump voters who will be brought over from the other side because Kamala Harris is now at the top of the ticket? Not hardly. At best, the campaign can hope to convince some halfhearted Biden-leaners actually to turn up.
Hence the Harris campaign is vigorously churning its base with Zoom events—which smack, frankly, of depressing pandemic-era virtual happy hours—to create the appearance of froth. But the same dreary realities that plagued Biden—crime, inflation, and immigration—infect Harris, too. As the bloom fades from the rose, Harris will have to hold unscripted press conferences and interviews, and address her central role in the Biden Administration’s disastrous policy decisions, and her specifc awareness about the President’s declining faculties. That won’t be fun.
Instead, the campaign is leaning into absurdities such as celebrating the candidate’s sense of “joy.” Witness impeachment puppetmaster Norm Eisen and Washington Post columnist Jen Rubin—possibly the grimmest pair of vampiric supporters imaginable—praising the joy of Kamala Harris. Or alternatively, note the sudden use of “weird” to describe Trump and J.D. Vance, as though the 2024 election were a junior high school contest for prom king, and one faction was saying their competitors give everyone “the Ick.” This is not the sign of a vibrant campaign.
The Democrats are a fragmented coalition of identities that makes no sense politically. But they have Hollywood and its masters of illusion and narrative working overtime to create the appearance of momentum and electricity. Their bet is that they can keep the kaleidoscope spinning before the electorate notices that they are 30 percent poorer than they were under Trump, their cities are a mess, and the border is still open. If the music stops before November 5, the Harris campaign will find itself pantomiming to a skeptical audience.

Also, WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEEEE????????!!!

 

[STARS158]

I would hope that the US President had the accurate story about it being an engineered virus in a lab. That's pretty scary.

The COVID response team was led by Anthony Fauci, who funded the research in Wuhan, so he almost certainly lied to Trump. Since remember Trump came out and suggested what one of the other doctors told him which was Ivermectin, which then the entire media labelled horse paste.

Then there was Bill Gates:

During the meetings, Trump also asked “if vaccines weren’t a bad thing, because he was considering a commission to look into ill effects of vaccines,” Gates said.
The philanthropist, whose foundation has long supported and funded vaccine research, was quick to respond.
“I said, ‘No, that’s a dead end. That would be a bad thing; don’t do that,’ ” Gates recalled.

Still think Trump got the whole story?

That's funny because the opposite is true. Black culture creates more crimes, and the Muslim religion promotes terrorism like Christianity promotes evangelism. The only one that doesn't fit that is the Jews, because there is nothing which inherently gives power or influence to someone simply because they follow Judiasm or have Hebrew blood. That just comes from the fact that you can define "Jewish" in so many ways that it's about as useful as the ways people convince themselves a name means 666. (I can think of 13 different ways off the top of my head someone has been identified as 'a jew' including 'they just claimed to be one once')

Much wow. So incredible. Many such Jews in our world. Can't believe they all get together to push each other up to the top even when they massively differ in policy opinions, have different religions entirely, different backgrounds and cultures, are from different generations and locations around the globe, and even when they appear to actually hate each other - except for all the Jews who are not rich and powerful of course - and not one of them or anyone else in power that is nota Jew who might have noticed this has ever come forward or leaked how and why they do this.

Another reminder that the USA was created via insurrection and that it's a neutral word that is a good thing in just causes. When a government is corrupt it is the people's duty to insurrect.
