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

 

[Honka Honka Burning Love]

Obama could have raped Palin live on CNN and he still would have won that race.

Yeah, because McCain was a fucking Democrat, why wouldn't he want his party to win.

>don't have college degrees
As if having a college degree means anything these days.

Even before Trump I knew college degrees were bullshit. Back when instant messengers (AIM/Skype/Yaho/etc...) were still a thing, I was chatting with a chick that had a bunch of degrees in culinary arts and chef related things and still couldn't find anything.

Also just because you have a shiny piece of paper doesn't mean you're really good at your job. Do you know how many people that work office jobs that have degrees in administration or something equivalent have no business working in an office job to begin with? (Answer: Too many to count). You get more knowledge and experience from actually doing shit than learning it in a textbook.

Then again, I was the kid that went into a coma 5 minutes into reading about Mongolians in History class for the 34567834567th time, so what do I know

As the old saying goes, "Being educated and being smart are not mutually exclusive."

Lots of young people have been tricked into believing that a 4-year degree in of itself guarantees your meal ticket for the rest of the future. That just isn't true.

College is only truly worth it these days when you know what you want to do with a specific degree, and seek higher learning beyond that bachelor's, such as medical school, going into STEM work, business school, etc. Majoring in "liberal arts" for 4 years means absolutely nothing when applying for jobs in the real world, and there's still so many people who still believe that it is.

And if you want to become something like a mechanic or plumber while you are still young and fit enough to do that physical work, then college is just a flat-out waste of time. Trade school and experience are what's needed.

The "coastal elite mentality" really does look down upon those without a college degree, no matter how successful or happy they are.

Yes, it is "totally necessary" to get yourself into 6-figures worth of debt just so you can "be educated" and "get the college experience" by getting blackout drunk every weekend and attending classes about how everything is racist. You'll be a miserable and broke fuck for the rest of your life, but at least you can call those ignorant Drumpf supporters "uneducated."

 

[Clyde Cash's Left Teste]

Same with Herman Caine. The absolute racism from the left during his race will never be forgotten.

All I know about him is I think my dad donated to him and that Herman once quoted the Pokemon movie. I should do more research into him but I don't want to get bummed out about what we could have had.

Hell even Hillary could've won.

 

[DrearyDoomguy]

The week Trump won the election I got a really good paying job and just last week I got a serious interview for another job that pays really well.

Unironically excited for this economy.

I remember after struggling for years under the 2014-2016 economy I got an internship in my field a few months into 2017. I got formally hired on as a full fledged employee on November 8th 2017. It was poetic.

 

[StarkRavingMad]

Agreed.

The Dubya years royally fucked the GOP's image until Trump came into the picture.

Perspective: In the Summer and Fall of 2008, gas was $5 a gallon. There was no way in hell that a Republican could have possibly won the 2008 Election, lol.

Congrats, man.

I don't give a fuck if the 2028 ticket is Cheney-Jeb: I am never voting Democrat ever (I never have, to be clear) simply because I like M O N E Y.

Meanwhile I may or may not have a job maintaining ice roads wayyyy up north this winter

I literally believe if you send out applications right now you will get about a 30% contact rate.

Maybe I'm just cynical, but do people actually think these guys are real?

It feels like every time something politically spicy happens like a week later a ""new"" neo-nazi group of like 12 dudes shows up in front of cameras and then proceeds to do absolutely nothing.

The quickest way to get rid of these guys is to slash the FBI's annual budget by at least 50%.

Of course they think it’s real. Trump is literally Hitler after all. Problem is 99% of the open antisemitism is coming from the left. So the glow boys have to get dressed up and March around for the cameras. Otherwise the only nazi imagery they have comes from college kids on college campuses supporting Palestine. I can’t get over the irony of the people who’ve been calling everyone right of Stalin Nazis for a decade are now calling for the extermination of the Jews.

Where are the Antifa shoot-a-nazi type when you need them? Oh wait they're the same ones holding the flags..
They messed up not adding MAGA and Mass Deporation to the nazi flag.

 

[AN/ALR56]

Ann Selzer is ending her polling and leaving the Des Moines Register. I guess her Harris +3 poll was a kamikaze mission.

The Nostradumbass of Elections Allan Lichtman has been coping, seething in post election interviews. He complains abiut 300 billionare Musk, misinformation, repeats r/somethingiswrong2024 talking points, and threatens to leave when the newscaster offers slight pushback. Also bitches and moans about doxing and dissenters. Does 'I lost my keys' Lichtman have a dedicated thread yet?

What a bunch of cowards, they don't accept defeat, but are so cowards as to quit instead of doing a mea culpa and studying their failures.
That's why i don't think in a fair election, the left will win anywhere, they can't accept their "'scientifically correct" view of the world is wrong and instead it's the dumb people who can't see their perfect vision for the world.

If the one-hundred thousandth of America's population that are actual true and honest Nazis (we're talking less than 5,000 people here in a country of ~337.500,000) is this big of a threat, then we must be living in Marvel capeshit and they're all equipped with HYDRA superarmor and superguns (that they don't use for some reason) and are being led by no less than Red Skull himself

The lefts world view cannot fail it can only be failed by the subhumans who refuse to conform to it.

The word Nazi lost it's meaning so long ago. I'm so tired bros.

I'm pretty sure some faggot literally tried to redefine fascism as like "modern fascists akychually LIKE freedoms and liberties and dont want to sacrifice themselves for society!"

I remember in the 2000s when "nazi" was cringe. Glowies were too busy radicalizing "lone wolf" terrorists to bust and otherwise fucking about in the middle east. It's only during Obama that "nazi" was reactivated and it's been escalating ever since.

There was some book about some dystopian shit future where they changed all the words meanings and stuff. So you couldn't fight back. It's like that.

I feel like that was the start of clown world really ramping up.

I just realized something.

Is Trump going to reinstall the Coca-Cola button?
