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

 

[Myrtle the Turtle]

I truly believe her handlers are unprepared for this.

Theres been no leadership at the helm of the Biden admin for the last year. Just staffers and special interests fighting for their piece of power. They won with a basement campaign and Clydburns endorsement and haven't had to do any real campaign work. The were hiding Biden this round and intended to hope on drifting to victory because 'muh incumbent.' His decline and dropout were unplanned.
Kamala's staff turnover is truly a liability at this point. No one is tenured, theres no loyalty and communication will suffer because of the revolving door of people and chaos. They have nothing better than to sell than 'brown middle aged woman who isn't Trump' because she has no record and the admin she was part of was dogshit. Not only are they unprepared, the candidate they have to work with is completely incompetent on the stage and at best acts like a drunken wine mom. She's been running on astroturfed memes and support but it hasn't caught on so far and the bottom is about to fall out.

To quote @HTTP Error 404:

She has to both try and take credit for the good parts of the Biden admin (even if those only exist in her mind) while playing hot potato with everything else. Trump will likely point out that she's not answered a question, or suggest that she's weak in some memetic way -- "Does she expect to just demand to speak to Putin's manager if negotiations go wrong or something?" or point out that she's had 4 years to do something, anything, and hasn't -- "Sleepy Joe's been incapacitated for years Kamala, and it's your responsibility as VP to step in if he can't do the job. So where have you been the past few years, Kamala? Everything's gone to shit. We can't blame Joe, his own prosecutor even says he's too far gone to even face trial. That means you've been in charge, Kamala..."

He just has to get one good linguistic kill shot in on her and it's over.

This by default, is an insane challenge for a candidate overcome. Combine that with inflation and a fucked economy the current administration created, and it makes it near impossible to execute. A skilled orator like Obama or populist figure like Trump could salvage it, but its Kamala; a boozy, unprepared candidate who was a diversity hire to win in 2020.

Kamala's lead has been dropping since the DNC happened (which feels like months ago already). Gonna be a super tight race. I really hope a Trump win happens for a repeat of 2016 schadenfreude. But wait, does it mean Tampon Tim would continue on in my state?

Maybe it's time I wish for a Kamala victory...

Do you think you just fell out of a coconut tree? Weird.

What, that didn't lure in voters?

I'm still thinking 50/50 the "October" Surprise is Biden leaves the Office, Harris takes over, Biden gets his pardons, and Harris gets a bump from the "first women president" media blitz.

 

[The Nothingness]

You think a number of debate questions will be about Project 2025 and Jan. 6th? And if you make a drinking game with those topics, you would die of alcohol poisoning?

Oh no. Is she retarded. Lol. Dearborn is gonna flip to trump looool.

Of course.

"Jan 6 was the worst day in US history, just like P2025 predicted! Are we going to go back and let this man take our rights to kill babies?"

Something along those lines. It's all they have honestly. They can't even sperg about golf.

 

[mlanguishi]

Friggin retards, nobody think she's 'likes' them. So dumb to be so blatantly mixed message like this. I guess most idiots won't notice though.

 

[I Hate The Disabled]

What are the odds that ABC is merely fluffing up Harris so she feels comfortable doing the debate, then will be more neutral during the debate because either the see the writing on the wall or just want ratings?

CNN was surprisingly fair during the 1st debate. As long as ABC doesnt do that live "fact-checking" shit it should go okay.

Knowing them though, they're going to make it all about 1/6 and Tim Cool accepting money from Tenent, aka Shit Nobody Cares About

If Kamala hits Trump about 2025, he can say "I already disavowed that, you're weird." If Kamala hits Trump about January 6th, he can say "if it was that bad, why didn't you and Biden do anything about it for four years?"

“I love defense. I love foreign policy. And I think that’s where she’s frankly shown she’s a little more hawkish than Democrats have been, so that would be a good area to bring a standard Republican in,”

Crazy that in a country where the vast majority of people don’t give a fuck about FP it’s still the number one priority of so many of politicians even with cost of living getting worse and worse. Total neocon death, it’s bonkers that these people haven’t been completely discredited after Iraq and Afghanistan. Seriously what will it take for these people to realize forever wars don’t work? A failed invasion of Iran?

They should work. Short and sweet.

 

[Damocles_Sword]

Tomorrow's debate is going to be absolutely popcorn worthy. Is kamala gonna do her blaccent or her typical day drunk slurred speech? Will Trump goad out her natural "DO NOT REDEEM SAAR" accent or will she need an extra bottle of fortification to handle the stress of the spotlight and vomit on the podium? There's a reason they wanted her to be seated during this event and it wasn't their height differences.

Over Jills dead body.

Mark my words, she's still seething at the betrayal of her husband by Pelosi and party poobahs. This would be a humiliating for the Bidens' to not see their patriarchs first and only term.
I have a theory that she's intentionally withholding support and resources from Kamala because she wants to see it all burn down for the party historically backstabbing her husband. Her son just plead guilty to felonies and Joe is on steep decline, she's got nothing else left.

I'm one of those Americans who cares about foreign policy. If the UN wants Kamala, then that's all the reason you need not to vote for her.

They should work. Short and sweet.

The second one also goads her. "If you're such a good prosecutor, why am I standing here?" Trump has to throw her off-base. It also baits her into saying she'll throw Donald Trump in jail if she wins.

No one has to mark your words, buddy. It's an open secret that Jill Biden despises Kamala - not only did Kamala trash her husband in 2020 (good marks for loyalty there), but she also has been gunning for Joe and Jill's gig the entire time. Jill Biden does not want to give up being First Lady.

yeah but when people kinzingerr say they love foreign policy they really mean “I love regime change boondoggles”

What card does Jill even have at this point? Just favors cause she got Biden to step down after the first debate? Favors only last as long as your are useful and Jill and Joe are no longer useful.

It would be unwise to pop the first woman president cherry on a point of process. Then you have the problem of her having the power to enact her policies but also not doing anything. She‘d have every right to make good on her “day one plan,” but she doesn’t have a day one plan. She has no plan.

Besides, Biden could die today and they could probably maintain plausible deniability until Inauguration Day, because that’s pretty much what they did with his 2020 campaign.

Finasteride was first released in 1984 as a drug for prostate conditions, and approved in 1997 for male pattern baldness (but used off-label for it for years before). As time has gone by, more and more men use this. Dutasteride is now also used for the same purpose. Originally they were used mostly by men who were past their reproductive years, but that has changed fast and the average age taking the meds is lowering every year. In that time, masculinity has tanked.

I was aware that the birth control pill is basically poison for woman, was not aware there was a male equivalent. Thought it was all the estrogen dumped in food and the flouride in the water what was creating the soy infestation, but good to know there is a more direct agent and to avoid it like the plague.

Save the ducks and cats in Springfield, Ohio.

Strange trend there are Facebook, Google and Apple becoming more compliant with requests over the years and Microsoft becoming less so. I wonder what's going on there. Perhaps it's because MS have a significant data centre presence in the EU (Ireland) and run European operations from there under EU privacy laws. In fact that's one reasons some businesses use Azure - they were happier about MS's compliance with the data not leaving the agreed region.

Those are GOVERNMENT requests for user data. The EU is the central government of the EU. They don't care about the public's privacy when it comes to themselves or the individual countries' governments spying on their citizens.

I genuinely believe that Trump's plan to buy Greenland was a good one and I hope he brings it back. Greenlanders would do well to take him up on it. Assuming it doesn't become a backdoor for immigration, mind you.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that, lol! The Kng of Denmark (I assume?) has to agree to sell it first though (and maybe hold a referendum to do so?) as it's officially part of Denmark. (Though autonomous after a referendum in 1979. Like Puerto Rico is to the USA.) Its population are Vikings, Danes, Eskimos and mixed. Although I guess they could hold an independence referendum and if "yes" wins then hold another referendum over whether to sell itself to the USA. Although it didn't go so well the last time something like that happened in another country recently. Twice. But I'm sure the USA and Denmark wouldn't go to war over it if it did, right?
