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

 

[More AWS-8Q Than You]

Meanwhile Democrats are now saying that because Vance was a combat correspondent, he is a hypocrite for pointing out Walz's stolen valor and using the POG acronym to denigrate Vance's service.

I just wanted to throw up Vance's list of commendations by way of comparison:

Marines on Twitter say it translates into a Good Boy who Didn't get caught Doin' Nothin' and sounds good for a POG/REMF.

As a non-Burger, can someone give me the short version of why Minnesota is the way it is?

Curious about this too. The state has been solid blue in the Presidential elections since Carter, long before the influx of Somalians. You can maybe chalk up 76, 80, 84 to Mondale but it was the only state to go Dem in the 84 elections which is impressive.

The only unique factor I can quickly come up with is that the demographics are heavily Scandinavian and that somehow has bearing on how they vote.

To add to the Scandie pile-on, consider the Law of Jante. Something about having to survive near or north of the Arctic Circle means shit can be hard and everyone needs to chip in to survive, so you need to remember that you're not anything special. It drives their more "socialist" equity leaning views but also their tattle-tale nanny state attitude. Very midwest nice on the outside, but don't excel and show up your neighbors. The Women are Strong, the Men are Good Looking, and Everyone is Above Average, and don't you forget it.

She’d probably let you if you asked tbh. I have a number of colleagues who met her, including some who met her at a dinner back during our college days.
She’s apparently a really horny old broad. Like, really really touchy and flirty with people young enough to be her grandkids.

Laura Ingraham is the superior conservative grifter waifu as far as grannies go.

Her and Bill Maher used to go out or at least fuck, which should tell you something about her.

Edit: Also for fun, look up the car Walz was driving when he got pulled over for speeding. Only two kinds of men drive that kind of car.

But I'd seen Ann Coulter long before 2016. She seems to have been based for years and going against the establishment.

Go back and look at her face when she went on Maher and said Trump would win. She looked like she was about to cry when they started laughing at her. It wasn't a message from her heart.

 

[6MillionCoofs]

It also helps that Trump started his Agenda 47 with talking about an Internet Bill of Rights.

The streamers don’t really know or care about that. But it is cool.

Gross. Bill Mahar.

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

Damn, they did Kamela dirty with that freeze frame shot of her.

Reminded me of this

 

[BULLY HUNTER_78]

I've changed my mind about the Walz pick. It's actually brilliant. He's so terrible Republicans can't decide which line of attack to use on him. Stolen valor, giving licenses to illegals, supporting infanticide, grooming teenagers, getting rid of the First Amendment, letting Minneapolis burn. Is he the DSP of politicians?

I personally like to call him Mr. Tampon.

 

[More AWS-8Q Than You]

Gross. Bill Mahar.

Word is he is well hung, but yeah.

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

Shes a neo con. Fuck neo cons.

I mean... you don't have to tell me twice. Do the monkey with me, Annie!

Good Conduct Medals are sorta cool to have because so many idiots get NJPs.

 

[Jade Philosophies]

"GEMARA: The Sages taught in a baraita: A girl who is three years old is betrothed through intercourse; this is the statement of Rabbi Meir. And the Rabbis say: She must be three years and one day old.

"She's only 3 years and 23 hours old you sick fuck!"

They said the Meritorious Mast was another good sign for him, like the higher ups noticing you're actually a good Marine. You get the special flavor of crayon.

Someone ran out of her percs

 

[Jade Philosophies]

I don't know how you can look at the last 100 years of spreading out the franchise and come to the conclusion that mass democracy leads to anything but a "3 wolves voting to eat the 1 sheep"-style fight for government gibs and anarcho-tyranny from the same kind of oligarchy you're talking about.

What are you talking about?

Based on your definition, what would not be an oligarchy. What method of governance wouldn't?

A democracy wouldn't be an oligarchy. You could have a cabinet of experts in their field individually elected by the public but they wouldn't have power over the public, the public would have power over them. They can create polices but in a democracy the public would vote on those policies. (And be able to create their own.) The public can also have votes of no confidence and vote out any minister at any time if they're terrible at their job. We don't need politicians, let alone political parties, telling us what to do. Issues should be tackled with science, facts and logic, not political ideology.

1. This fat pig is still alive?

2. Nice pop culture reference, Sheldon.

3. I haven't been a nerd for many years now, but didn't Doctor Doom make Latveria one of the best economies in the world with zero unemployment and zero fear of terrorism?

I don't understand the leftist occupation with make the "right" or "authoritarian" extremely competent and then expect the audience to not side with them. Who gives a fuck if Dr. DOOM is king for life if life is functioning as it should.

 

[Eggplant Wizard]

Why are they called the Democrats? Did they ever actually want a democracy at some period in time?

IIRC, the Democratic Party wanted to have the US run more by popular vote than by electoral means. The goal since their founding has been to distill everything down to being population based as possible. A literal pure democracy. The Dems even tried to stuff the House of Representatives with seats because they wanted each slave to count as a citizen, even though slaves couldn’t vote. This is why we had the Three-Fifths Clause and the Civil War soon after.

If the typical voter is as smart as they are in your utopia, our Republic would be working fine.

The average citizen can barely keep tabs on one public figure, you expect them to be knowledgeable on at least dozens of public figures and read up on hundreds of policies before voting? If anything this would make the parties worse because people would rather just vote for the person with D or R by their name and vote for what ever policy their trusted news source will tells them to than do all that homework.

This is what hatred and mental illness does to a person. remember folks go outside, catch some sun, and watch the grass grow.

the DNC is going to be an absolute train wreck. they’ve got a week & a half to change the trajectory of mean girl boss internet queen Hillary did with even more social disconnect while bringing out all the geriatric libshit actors that look like they’re on death’s door. The 19th cannot some soon enough.
