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

 

[Not Really Here]

None of the people whining about disbanding the DoE could tell you what it actually funds vs. what state/local funds cover.

For some unknown reason, they don't know what the DOE does in the first place, and generally they think it runs schools.

Spoiler: for autistic frens only

It's a joke because of the removal of classes on government civics from schools.

Too many things don't fit. The whole "it was all faked" comes off as red herring to distract people. The fact that people have kept on attacking Jones for YEARS for having said it once when others who have been slandered and attacked by much bigger journalists have moved on faster and easier is the biggest red flag.

I think the reason so many people think it's fake, apart from the holes in the timeline and all the weird disjointed information was how insane the reporting on it was.
I remember being on /pol/ at the time, and all the threads of people talking about it as it was happening in real time. You had Anderson Cooper "on site" for coverage, but every time he turns to the side his nose disappears behind what seems to be an error in the greenscreen effect. They showed images of the "evacuation," but people were being routed out and then back in, cyclically, almost as if the video was on a loop, and the building in question wasn't even Sandy Hook Elementary, but a church either next door or a block over. There was a lot of crazy shit that happened around Sandy Hook that wasn't present in most of these other school shootings. Then you have the often-cited example of Robbie Parker laughing before talking about his daughter's death, and the job listings for crisis actors.

It's one of those weird ones where, normally I would say it's real, but possibly still people in the 3-letter agencies manipulating a kid to commit murder to further gun control. But given all the weird shit, and the fact they went after Jones so hard for it, when he was essentially just repeating shit he was seeing on any discussion board that wasn't moderated to hell and back, 10 years after the fact, makes me think there's more going on than your average potentially fed-imposed school shooting.

This man absolutely voted for Trump. He's hit that wonderful stage of don't-give-a-shit where he's even telling the mediacritters to fuck off.

Joy Reid-

We had Beyonce, we had the swifties, we had the other sheboon whore with the fat ass on our side... how could we possibly have lost?

Why did the mob care that they couldn't afford bread when we gave them circuses?!

Swifties is a very young demographic and she will never shake off her being a closeted republican so even if swifies did show up they went to trump.

Meg isn't really supported by the black men because she lied and got her boyfriend locked up over a shooting he didn't do.

Beyonce is the see issue of a niche demo like the swifies being black women & it looks like a extortion attempt because of her affiliation with Diddy.

Throw a clock at me if you want, but does anyone know if Gabbard and/or RFK have a position in the cabinet?

Mike Huckabee is ambassador to Israel. It's fine, he's just a figurehead.

 

[Mark Goldbridge]

This is the main source used to argue for "undocumented immigrants" on wikipedia, there is no source beyond this: https://itep.org/study-undocumented-immigrants-contribute-nearly-100-billion-in-taxes-a-year/

3.3% of the US are undocumented immigrants. If the above article is true, they contribute just under 1.5% of the total tax income (if the total tax income is roughly $7 trillion). This doesn't include the cost of illegal immigration like Border Patrol salaries, loss due to crime, cost of housing undocumented immigrants and more.

So, if every single illegal immigrant was a law abiding citizen they would still be a net negative to the USA.

iirc nothing official yet
I could see Gabbard getting UN duty or something that keeps her out of the line of succession

Mike Huckabee is ambassador to Israel. It's fine, he's just a figurehead.

iirc Huckabee is above and beyond a greatest ally to our greatest ally even for his stripe of conservative christian, so that's probably a good fit for him

I think he said "did you get hit in the head by the camera behind you", as in, "of course I can't, dumbass", but more polite.

Punished Biden saying fuck it and sabotaging everything is my favorite conspiracy theory.

I don't see Tulsi as SecDef, since that's usually a General (Tulsi is only a Lt. Colonel in the reserves), but if Trump doesn't pick Lil' Marco like many people think, she could end up as Secretary of State. I do think that her most likely position will be as VA Secretary.

it's been a common thing to give a promotion to folks to keep with the norms. I think that troon levine got one for just that reason.

We'd be better off just giving them babysitters and planning for their ongoing care.

I did that a couple years ago out of mild interest. Money was saved.

Not one of the sped programs shows long-term measurable positive impacts.

And that’s why I’m honestly just for funding what you said above. It isn’t doing that that puts us in the hole. It’s all the berurocratic bs surronding it and people wasting money on everything but that.

And the speds would likely learn something if they were doing something they enjoy in an enviroment they enjoy instead of frequently what is currently done now.

Reminder: The number of illegal immigrants in the US has been frozen at 11 million for around 30 years.
It's as accurate as the rotten tomatoes rating on Disney capeshit.

I have enjoyed this way too much, in general a lot of jokes after the election have been hitting me absurdly hard. Perhaps a little huff of hopium has repaired my funny bone.

Kash Patel as head of the CIA would be hilarious. I have no doubt in my mind they would actually kill this nigga. But the cope n seethe until then would be hilarious.

Department of education didn't exist until the 1970s

Whole education system is rotten and based on the Prussian model, we need to return to the Classical model.

Out of curiosity what is the difference between the 2

That’s got to be my favorite thing about all of this. All the Left going ‘but without the immigrants, who will do the shit jobs?’ in very broad daylight.
