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

How do redditors manage to be some of the snobbiest, most unlikeable people in existence?

Because they think they are the top 5% of humanity intellectually and have no qualms about bragging about that.
Combine that with most of them being thick as pig shit and it's a rough combo. That one of them honestly thinks it will be a winning strategy to quote Trump verbatim from his Biden debate, an action which opens the doors for him to say "they're stealing my policies and my quotes. Do they have anything of their own?" exemplifies Reddit.

Only tangentially related but has anyone seen the new Reagan movie? I wasn't going to until I saw that it had a 20% journo score and 98% audience score and now Im curious as to what's pissed them off.
I don't expect it to be 100% accurate but it's interesting timing given Trump has so many parallels to Reagan at this point.

The response has been typical.

 

[RybenZ999]

And then they turn around and never mention Biden even once. At least retcon him to be Stan's grandpa like how Trump was Mr .Garrison

Another thing I didn't get was how the entire town of South Park was pro Hillary except for one family. I mean I know Colorado is a blue state, but South Park has always been described as a "hick mountain town" so you'd think it would have more people who vote in a way that fits the bill.

Much like blacks, the working class are a demographic that the left considers their property, and the idea that their property might leave the plantation or expect something from them is anathema to them.

Rotten was always working class, and he was smart as hell. Doesn't surprise me at all that he's defying his "masters."

Contrast Jello Biafra in the US, who spent the 80s telling anyone who would listen how Hillary was literally killing people and how the Green party was the only hope for America to break away from the fake left Democrats... who now thinks you're a nazi if you dared question Hillary / Biden / Kamala / The Plan

In Jello's defense, he's only doing this because the alternative is him being straight up MURDERED. Fucker has been living under a Salmin Rushdie type fatwa calling for him to be outright MURDERED ON SIGHT ever since the Seattle WTO protest of the late 90s, when he denounced Antifa as a bunch of thugs and has to have permanent security at all of events ever since.

>Kamalas leadership style

Kamala Harris ran her office like a prosecutor. Not everyone liked that.​

After a difficult first year as vice president, Harris has grown into her role — and found staff who respond better to her style, allies say.

lib left thinks she's a literal girlboss

Is this management style the reason why Tim Walz has to hold her hand through everything? Is it why she can’t answer “Why aren’t you doing anything when you’re in power now?” Or even why San Francisco is such a backwards hellzone? This report reads like alt history fanfiction.

This Haitian cat killing thing has taken off hard, who knew childless cat ladies would get upset when their cats get killed by future doctors and engineers?

And the amazing thing is they can't even spin it as Vance's fault because it's (mainly) in Ohio. Kat Killer Kamala, that's what they say, it's what they say...

How do redditors manage to be some of the snobbiest, most unlikeable people in existence? Everytime I read comments like these, I get the intense urge to just beat the person behind it to death. Say what you want about 4channers, but at least they are open about being assholes and don't carry around an air of pretentious moral superiority.

They are the living embodiments of the Dunning-Kruger effect and unwarranted self-importance.

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

Clock me if this was already posted, but George W. Bush has declined to comment on whom he is voting for in the upcoming election. His publicists stated: "President Bush retired from presidential politics years ago."

Another article I found from Fox News.

Headline: "A second Trump presidency has the UN fearing for its future, employee caught on camera reveals"
Subhead: "UN junior staffer comments puts focus on what second Trump term could mean for world body"

Basically, some bums in the UN legal affairs department got caught on camera (by someone affiliated with Steven Crowder, of all "undercover journalism" teams) saying he thinks the UN will cease to exist because of Trump. All the more reason to vote for him! The UN is filthier and more corrupt than the entire DNC - especially the UNRWA, which is nothing but a front group aiding Palestinian terrorists.

Also, The Hill (a major DC news outlet) has a front page headline showing the Kamala is behind in key states on male voters. Her team is claiming muh soggy knees and saying people are too stupid to vote for Kamala. From the article: "Male voters are also swinging hard to Trump and away from Harris in Nevada, according to the latest CNN/SSRS poll." It also admits that Hispanic men swing "very conservative" in favor of Trump in places like Nevada.

The fact that The Hill is admitting this is striking. At least, it is to me.

This is why they're dead set on phasing out audience reviews lmao

pretty sure biafra got clocked by a leftie (again) because they thought he was a trump supporter. he should've been after the sucker punch but hes clinging to the green party for dear life.

Why didn't MacArthur just say "OK, sure, if you want?"?

political conversions lead to the dilutement of the religion. look at the santa muerte shit.

Bus em to the blue states. Its worked before.

And if they refuse, do it anyways.

Have you been following the springfield ohio stuff? Moved in 20k Haitians and shocker, they are killing and eating cats, dogs, and fucking over all the native folks there. That's going to be what's done going forward. Sure the clown faggot governors are gonna send a busload to blue areas and cheer like they really owned those libs, epic style. Meanwhile tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, hell, millions are going to be shipped into red states.

The accelerate folks have some mental image of some combustion point, some huge come to jesus moment that will never come. It's a slow steady burn that has been going on for a good while already. That's the reason I went at you the way I did. You don't seem to understand that this isn't something we can pull back from, this is something that has already fucked us to the point I don't know how easily we can recover. If Trump loses this election, we likely won't get another person like him until it's truly way too late.

Were there any memorable Bush speeches aside from the one at Ground Zero?

This is technically political. Heil der Fuher. Trump will brand MAGA black sun Porsche for the presidential limousine.

 

[CharlesBarkley]

Imagine being a “progressive” woman and supporting the same candidate endorsed by Dick Cheney.

I swear, if Hitler rose from the grave right now and said he hated Trump, fat white women in America would be like “ you know, that Hitler guy? Really not that bad.”

California legislator sued by former chief of staff for alleged sexual harassment - Los Angeles Times​

Hannah Wiley
The former chief of staff of a California state senator who recently left the Democratic Party to become a Republican filed a lawsuit against her on Thursday alleging that she sexually harassed him, created a hostile workplace and fired him in retaliation for rejecting her sexual advances.

The lawsuit, filed in the Sacramento County Superior Court, claims that for much of 2023, state Sen. Marie Alvarado-Gil (R-Jackson) “engaged in erratic, controlling, sexually dominating abuse of authority and power” against her chief of staff, Chad Condit.

“This was a sex-based quid pro quo relationship of unwelcome advances and sexual behaviors coupled with punishment and flexing of power,” according to the lawsuit, which also names the California state Senate as a defendant.

Alvarado-Gil’s lawyer denied the accusations.

“A disgruntled former employee has fabricated an outlandish story, presented without evidence, to get a payday. We expect that the Senator will be fully cleared of any wrongdoing of these bogus, financially motivated claims,” attorney Ognian Gavrilov said in a statement provided to The Times by the Senate Republican Caucus.

Alvarado-Gil was elected as a Democrat in 2022 in a staunchly red district spanning a rural region northeast of the Central Valley. Her election was seen largely as a fluke of California’s top-two primary system, after the crowded field of Republicans divided the GOP vote in June and paved the way for two Democrats to advance to the general election despite having received only a combined 41% of the vote. Alvarado-Gil won that November.

Alvarado-Gil switched political parties in August and joined the Republican caucus in the state Senate after criticizing Democratic leadership.

Condit was Alvarado-Gil’s campaign manager in 2022, and then joined her state office as chief of staff.

The lawsuit alleges that early in her tenure, Alvarado-Gil began “grooming plaintiff and sharing personal and intimate details” of her life, including her dating life, divorces and marital infidelity. Alvarado-Gil openly talked about “her vices,” according to the complaint, “which included sex and using the drug, ayahuasca, and taking gummies.”

According to the complaint, Alvarado-Gil consistently made inappropriate and sexually suggestive comments to Condit, and used her position to exert dominance and power over him. In March 2023, for example, Alvarado-Gil allegedly asked Condit his opinion about “throuples,” and whether he and his wife would be open to one.

She also allegedly made comments that insinuated he would “be open to a sexual relationship with her” because his father, former U.S. Rep. Gary Condit, famously was accused of having an affair with Washington intern Chandra Levy. Levy was murdered in 2001, and the elder Condit was initially investigated for her murder in a scandal that consumed the nation in the months before the 9/11 attacks. Her death remains unsolved.

The sexually explicit comments eventually turned physical, according to the complaint.

At one point during a work trip to Inyo County, Chad Condit alleged, Alvarado-Gil demanded he show his allegiance to her “by having him go down on her.” Condit and Alvarado-Gil were driving, according to the lawsuit, and pulled over to use the restroom. After Condit returned to the car, “she had her pants pulled down and said, ‘I want you to kiss it and prove your loyalty.’”

“After months of creating a dominant-submissive relationship, plaintiff was numbed and acted without thinking and it went from there with Alvarado-Gil establishing her ability to dominate him,” the lawsuit states.

Condit allegedly performed the sexual act on several occasions, the complaint includes.

“During the last occasion where plaintiff performed oral sex as demanded by Alvarado-Gil, Plaintiff suffered a back injury while performing in a car seat with his body having to twist and contort in the confined space of the car,” according to the lawsuit. “Plaintiff later went to the doctor and discovered that the injury was more severe, and that plaintiff had suffered three herniated discs in his back and a collapsed hip.”

Condit later underwent hip surgery for his injuries.

Condit did not return a text message or call from The Times, and his attorneys could not be reached for comment. The lawsuit claims that Condit’s “personal and professional relationships were forever altered, and his employment record and opportunities in public employment are irreparably damaged and will never be the same.”

Condit’s complaint extends beyond sexual favors, and includes allegations that Alvarado-Gil used him to run errands, shuttle around her daughter and take care of her dog.

By late summer 2023, Condit had started distancing himself from Alvarado-Gil’s alleged advances, according to the lawsuit, which said that the senator and her deputy chief of staff, a childhood friend of hers, went to the secretary of senate “to get plaintiff fired as punishment and retaliation.” He was later issued a “bogus disciplinary letter with accusations of inappropriate behavior” that Alvarado-Gil allegedly made against him.

The lawsuit also alleges Alvarado-Gil took steps to get closer with Condit’s wife and “insert herself into a position of control” over the couple’s life, including hiring Condit’s wife on her campaign in March 2023 and going to the same beautician. Later that summer, after Condit allegedly started rejecting Alvarado-Gil’s advances, the senator went to his house “and falsely told his wife that plaintiff was seeing someone to cause him distress.”

In December, the lawsuit claims that Alvardo-Gil texted Condit that he had been fired, and that she tried to get him to instead resign by offering to hire his wife.

The lawsuit also claims that Secretary of the Senate Erika Contreras “blindly accepted Alvarado-Gil’s retaliatory actions against plaintiff and ratified her abuse of him.”

In a statement, Contreras acknowledged the lawsuit but said the Senate has not been served.

“We are in discussion with counsel to assess next steps,” Contreras wrote. “The Senate takes all complaints incredibly seriously, but is unable to comment on matters involving pending litigation.”

Why didn't MacArthur just say "OK, sure, if you want?"?

Like other Kiwis said, mostly cultural. MacArthur had a lot of respect for parts of Japanese culture and didn't actually want to buck break them, just reign in their worst impulses. Remember, part of the reason why we nuked Japan and were planning on rolling on the main islands hard and fast was because we wanted to keep the Russians from invading them. At least some of the people in charge did not want a Communist Japan, so no massive social and cultural upheaval. On the other hand, he basically wrote Feminism into their constitution which is part of their population issues, however they've generally not gone too far with it, no pathological girlbossing like South Korea. Japan's biggest problem is the work culture that developed in the post-war period and the centralization of those jobs in a few cities, mainly Tokyo. They're actually demographically in a better place than South Korea and China, and the islands are technically heavily overpopulated. They'll be alright if they can keep out the subhuman streetshitters, they have much less tolerance for immigrant bullshit under the hood than people realize, they're very good about making statements that polite nos or endless "we'll seriously look into looking into that."

MacArthur was absolutely right about China though. Should have glassed the motherfucking Han bugmen when we had the chance.
