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

 

[oh no its pipkun]

I didn't see this posted. CNN is forced to admit that Trump is being treated as if he's the sitting President. Trump had a meeting with FEMA and gets briefed by the National Guard on the situation while at the same time he (Trump) is bringing a truck full of gasoline.

[Seething Troon Collector]

My predictions for the debate tonight/bingo spots:

• Vance will be berated for 10 min by moderators and Walz about "eating dogs and cats"
• Vance will be railed on for being anti-abortion
• They will go on and on about how Vance criticized Trump years ago and try to use his own words as a "gotcha"
• "Senator Vance, please explain to the women out there why you hate them when you call them childless cat ladies?"
• They will try to bait Vance into criticizing Walz's military service and flip it to make Vance look bad
• Walz will lose his temper keep getting visibly out of control, and praised in the media afterwards for being so "passionate" and "energetic"

It's all so tiresome...

So, you’re thinking it’ll be the Trump Harris debate all over again? I don’t even know if it’ll work a second time now that everyone knows the game.

It’s not a fair fight, I hope Vance woke up and chose violence. Ironically, verbally tearing Walz and the moderators apart will only serve to make him more likable.

Is this because everyone knows Trump's gonna win or is it because out of Trump, Biden, and Kamala, Trump's the only one going and meeting the hurricane survivors

This week happenings:

NC got fucked by Democrats
Israel officially invading Lebanon
Port strikes across eastern seaboard
Vance obliterates Tampon Tim.

Unironically based. It is the right and privilege of every union employee to completely fuck over the billionaires that think they're the ones in control. People should be mad when there's a strike, because it means that the greedy fucks at the top were so greedy that they were unwilling to budge on a $1-2/hr difference so they could buy another yacht.

I scabbed for the biggest healthcare strike in US history last year, and the whole thing could have been avoided if the mealymouth little do-nothing managers actually paid their employees what they were worth. Instead, they had to pay out the ass to hire scabs at double wages, and THEN accept the union's terms.

Stuff.

Thank you for responding to my question. @Rimanah gave two excellent rebuts, but I'll just add that a) wth is Trump "tracking menstruation"? I never heard of that. b) the Dems, including Biden/Harris, have had decades to codify Roe and they never did. She'll continue the tradition of dangling the carrot. c) being afraid of providing prenatal care makes no sense, unless that prenatal care is "here's the address to the nearest abortion clinic, your appointment is at 2pm". Even then the fear factor is overblown and propagandized.

One more thing: FEMA is an agency that's under the Biden/Harris administration, and while its always been a black hole of suck, B&H have done nothing to change that. Why would they provide federal oversight (LOL) for any other fed agency?

I understand your real concern, but it helps if you view it more as entrusting your prayers to a close messenger to God. Mary is 100% legit and demons absolutely hate her because of the real grace God gave over them.

Rhetorical: Why not just pray directly to God in the name of Jesus, like the Bible says?

Surely fucking with the WNBA's answer to Larry Bird will surely bring niggers to the WNBA instead of the usual black bull dykes.

I remember the Bird/Magic rivalry (watch some film of those two, they were something else) and Bird was always respected because he was such a great player who had confidence in his play.
Clark is putting on a master class not just in basketball, but in how you deal with bullies. Ignore them, keep your head down, and let your skills do the talking. It's why they keep going after her--she won't play their game and it's driving them crazy.

And the decline in serial killers and violent crimes in the era Roe was law shows this provides a net benefit to society.

That's just...I can't even. Gang on gang violence and school shootings are up, up, up, and that started during the Roe era. Just because real stats have been underreported so Dems don't look bad doesn't mean violent crime hasn't increased, especially in major cities.

i miss this guy, 2020 made him quit the farms

We lost a good one when we lost him.

To be fair, it may be part of a lake now.

So it's oars at dawn? Sorry, I'll see myself out.

I'm not going to argue there was much, if any, positives out of it, but it's a myth that drinking stayed the same or got worse while it was active. People are so passionate about drugs and alc that it's impossible to get a fair debate on it, everyone has their mind made up long ago regardless of facts.

My grandmother was Detroit adjacent and made and sold bathtub gin during prohibition. You did what you had to do back then.

Hey News lady..

https://www.masslive.com/politics/2022/11/besides-donald-trump-which-ex-presidents-have-run-again-and-who-won.html

There have been a handful total presidents that lost and ran again, so no shit he's not any normal candidate. Only Cleveland won. The last that even tried was Eisenhower when your grandparents were in preschool.

Look at the news media, especially the left. I do News Lady. All they've talked about since 2015 is Trump. It's literally 'where's Poochie??'

Your own side turned him into a supervillain beyond all reason so whenever Trump's not at a rally or making a speech or anything, it's 'Where's Trump?'

If the Democrats had even a slightly ok candidate they'd probably have this in the bag. It's still anyone's game, but even if Harris pulls off a win it'll be 'What's Trump up to' until he dies from you people.

The east coast and gulf coast dockworkers are on strike, and that's fine to fight for better wages, even if they're getting 100-200,000 a year, but this guy is the reason it's been so hard for the right to fully accept unions. He's just this scummy fuck who says he'll let businesses fail but then he'll do whatever the government says, almost in a mini representation of what happened with the Chyna Virus. He doesn't even have the guinea charm of a mobster.

The strike, if it carries on until November, is going to lock in the win for Trump.

And, as a Catholic woman, I can tell you right now that once women are able to become priests in the Catholic Church, we're cooked. We're so cooked.

Women have had an important role in the Catholic Church since forever, too. Let's all completely ignore the fact that nuns exist, I guess?

[The Ugly One]

In the early 20th century there were no drug laws whatsoever in the US (heroin and cocaine OTC) and 1% of the population were addicts. Today the addicted population is still at least 1% if not more

We don't have reliable statistics on opium use in 1900. What we do know is that between 1914 and 1934, opium imports in the USA fell by about 70%. We also have plenty of data on what happens when you relax law enforcement. Both drug use and all kinds of crime increase.

Making something more costly to use does in fact decrease its use. The libertarian belief that the law of supply and demand magically doesn't apply to drugs is puzzling.

Jailing murderers reduces the number of murders

And banning the import and sale of a good makes it far more costly to ship, reducing its supply. Biggest cause of opioid addiction in America? Legal drugs distributed by doctors. There's a reason fentanyl is easy to find.

and it doesn't fuel the rise of "murder cartels" that buy off entire governments so they are allowed to commit murder.

Actually, laws against murder are exactly why hit men still find work today. Organized crime predates drug laws by centuries. This is like the argument that we should have open borders to put human traffickers out of business.

The port strike is a bit different. The union is being offered a 50% raise and tripling of employer benefit contributions but the union is holding out demanding an almost 80% raise. They already make $80-$100k to move containers around a parking lot.

Is it just me, or does polymarket's odds seem to have been static for a while lately. It used to be that odds would swing wildly from Trump to Kamala to back for weeks. Halfway through September though, it's been permanently stuck at 49% (Trump) to 50% (Harris), virtually a tie with occasional 0.1% drop or rise.

Booze is a harder drug/solve the problems leading to drug use rather than making criminals out of responsible citizens. The arguments against gun control and drug control are identical in structure.

The less people bet on one option, the more you earn if you do bet on it. People aren't sure if the election will be rigged so they're just betting on whichever would give the most money if they win. That's my guess.

seems like the books everywhere are cooked, even in places that used to be more disconnected from the typical "adjustments"

PredictIt currently has Harris +9

If anything, women have too much power in the Catholic Church. Many parishes have become repurposed as social clubs for boomer women.

An armed citizenry is essential to the survival of a republic. A citizenry high out of their gourd while they watch cartoons, not so much.

I don't know who is more retarded, those that think Guns=Drugs or those prancing around in drag in front of kids saying Love is Love.

ETA and to @StarkRavingMad I think the craziest woman I ever knew was this methodist woman that tried to drag me into their cult and she ended up being a 'preacher' for them. That put me off organized religion for life.

Not too different than Mormon girls that think anal's ok and not 'real' sex so is fine and all.

I see some massive rigging going on tho. Kamela puppets are actually spending millions trying to control the odds.
