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

 

[Mourning_Cloak]

I think SNAP, like the foster system and Social Security, are things that have to exist. Can they be improved? Yeah.

I don't think many people unironically believe in ending all welfare and charity. But the problem is that "we" have incentivized living on welfare permanently and even if society didn't do that, the amount of people who are OK with living off gubbament gimmiedats generation after generation seem to far outweigh those that want off welfare ASAP. There are numerous factors that go into why this is. Don't forget we have to allot half the gimmiedats budget to people who came over here illegally.

California anecdote: I've seen people wearing maga hats around in public and at the gym recently. The occasional yard sign and bumper sticker are one thing but this is a level of support and openness that wasn't even around in 2020. Feels weirdly optimistic.

I'm still weirded out by the fact that there are precious little campaign signs in my area (Bible Belt). The only "new" ones I have seen are Harris-Walz (never saw any Biden ones, funny that). I say "new" that way because there's been a lot of Trump 2024 merch around here since 2020 and it's hard to tell what is new this year. Regardless the only signs I see are Harris-Walz and there's still only a few. There aren't really any local election ones either...

Imagine running for president and not getting asked any hard questions about what any of your bullshit means until 3 weeks before the election. Literally slack jawed about being asked about removing your boss in a coup because you never figured a response incase someone brought it up. This was as big as a train wreck as I expected.

 

[COME ON OUT YOU RAPIST]

Kamala is exactly as bad when handed a microphone as people said she would be. She might actually be as bad as Biden, since between the two they'll ramble incoherently when asked something and you aren't given an answer.

The way she kept repeating ‘I will follow the law’ during the exchange about transgender surgeries really stuck out to me. Bitch you are running for chief executive and ‘oh I’ll just follow whatever’s on the books already’ is your plan??

BITCH

Scuttlebutt says that Kamala Harris is not only unpleasant to work for, but outright abusive to her staff on the regular. Like, she will fuck something up and then take it out on everyone else. This is why I am extremely doubtful that the Democrats will back her if she loses: she is not a person worth dying for.

10 to 1 we just saw the last Harris public interview. Everything from here on out will be 100% controlled and edited to only make her look good.

I guess it's all down to the folks in the shadow government to make sure the fortification of the election goes thru without a issue to save the US from Hitler 2.0.

Can't have the voters voting wrong now can we. It's for their own good after all, Harris is the better candidate.

they only have a little under 3 weeks, what could they possibly do in regards to trying to make Harris look better when all she does is continue to bomb every time she tries to make herself look good and attempting to rig it this time given there will be a much larger group of people who will keep watch for any cheating this year by nature of what happened last election.

 

[HodgePodgeRogerDodger]

Im sort of surprised they (blue team) allowed this to be aired. Are they plotting some replacement at this ate hour?

They can’t. They lose money and they can’t propose one because of ballots being printed.

Suburban parents were told that allowing tranny shit would not lead to men in girl's bathrooms and taking over women's sports. Now the tranny shit has led to men in girl's bathrooms, taking over women's sports, raping girls, beating up girls, and generally misbehaving.

It's something of a political rule of thumb to never do anything to threaten people's children. This would honestly not be a problem if the left policed the trannies but, so far, they show no interest in doing so. The end result is people are getting real fuckin' sick of the trannies.

Even in academia, I have heard some whispers from old colleagues that the trannies have worn out their welcome. The tranny undergrad students are bullies, the tranny grad students perform poorly and threaten to sue if they're kicked out of the program, and the tranny professors are assholes who barely do any work. Fun fact: most schools will act in lock step when firing a controversial person in order to save the institution.

I once saw an arrogant Harvard-pedigreed professor get kicked out of a small school (which actually needed this person) because the whole department went to the Dean and said "get rid of this asshole." The Harvard prick sued the school, the whole school banded together, and that person was told to take a walk. I suspect this will start to happen to trannies when they begin causing financial problems for colleges and universities.

It's crazy how they became a protected class in such a short time

 

[LOWERCASE LETTERS]

The only way Kamala's interview could have gone worse is if she shit herself on camera

Dave Chappelle's line about "if slaves had baby oil and booty shorts" rings true.

Her default speaking tone might only approach about 80% as grating and bitchy as Hillary's, but add in the extreme nasally-ness of it and the fact that she's probably at least 30 IQ points below Hillary, she comes off as a much worse communicator.

Yeah Hillary is like, I know she's evil and is probably planning to kill me and use my skin for someone, but at least I have a bit of confidence she's got _a_ plan, Kamala is one of those used car inflatable wiggle people with a bunch of knives glued all over it just stabbing anything in the breeze.

also I found that thing I mentioned earlier about soldiers shooting on americans

so I'll dig into if there's a specific citation, but tbh "here's a photo of a panel from a comic book about kook shit" is better sourcing than like, ninety percent of the shit we do around here

I'm glad that season 2024 of The Election keeps surprising us by having Kamala be her own October surprise.

ngl I might steal that joke


edit before finally posting, the back of the book has vague citations for that part "CHOPPERS OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER"

Who ever told the Harris team that this interview would be a cakewalk and she'd be handled with kid gloves was a evil evil person. And the people on Team Harris who thought this would be a good idea deserve everything coming to them.

If nothing else, it shows how most interviews and debates are scripted with softball questions and fact checking to benefit the candidate of choice. On the rare occasion the gloves come off, candidates have to think on their feet - and they will either sink or swim.

From what I'm reading here, it sounds like Harris sank to the bottom faster than a one ton brick of lead dropped in the ocean. Also, her word salad answers make her no different than any other politician. Here, she had the chance to distinguish herself from any other politician and further her platform. The best she could offer, though, is the obvious reminder she's not Trump.

Still, I think we're in for a shit show on Election Day. I don't say that as a doomer, but because I suspect there will plenty of partisan fireworks between the final outcome announcement and inauguration day. Should Trump win, I easily see Democrats resisting the transfer of power even though they complained about the same thing being a dick move four years earlier. I hope this is proven wrong for the country's sake.

I wonder who is doing the translating and how effectively they’ll convey what Trump is saying or if they’ll try to fuck him over.

If someone ever writes a book about how in the fuck Kamala ended up at the top, I'll be first in line to read it. I can't fathom a system where someone like her isn't filtered out somewhere near the bottom. I know she got to skip a lot of steps by sucking Willie Brown's dick and stealing positions that were lined up for megadonors, but who pushed her onto the national stage?
