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

 

[draggs]

Oh no Russia has tried nuclear blackmail for the 6 gorillionth time since 1949

Anyway...

For instance if you ask people to name a number 1-10 you dont get anything close to a uniform distribution, more than half of everyone will say 3 or 7.

37 and 73 also come up a lot when you ask for a number between 1 and 100

I don't know where things go from here. I do know that cults always end two ways -- either everyone drinks the tingly flavor aid when it becomes obvious the comet isn't coming to save them, or everyone starts tossing gas in the subways to maximize the body count of the unbelievers. And thanks to cult-as-a-service social media algorithms -- and this was absolutely intentional -- we have a good 30-50% of the country firmly in the throws of one or more pseudocults using this shit on them.

Suicide is the more likely outcome than mass casualty events. These people are coward to the core. Just look at antifa, and how they'd turn tail and run when they didn't outnumber the "fascists" five to one at a "protest."

Putin lowers the threshold for using his nuclear arsenal after Biden’s arms decision for Ukraine

I don't understand why they would scream at America "We'll press the suicide button, we swear" when Russian territory has been under bombardment practically since the war started with fairly well documented foreign nationals working for, with, and on behalf of the UAF. Like what's special about Day 1001? What's special about Storm Shadows or ATACMS hitting Russia proper when they've been attacking Crimea, Belgorod, Bryansk, and Kursk and the oblasts that all voted to accede to the RF?

Because war is all about lying and deceit and people broadcast all over the internet that they're afraid of the lie?

Because people fall for Russian psyops all the fucking time?

I want to see the vote breakdown on those judges. If Dems had 50, then it doesn't matter if the Rs showed up.

The thing people need to remember is Dems usually vote fully lockstep. A Manchin on the D side is unusual.

Honestly, even if some Democratic Senators were absent, there was very likely a gentleman’s agreement in place so that they could be absent. They do this all the time so that Senators can go home for R&R, and it’s close to Thanksgiving. Sometimes even a minority Senator will vote against their party in place of an absent majority Senator just to get something through because the votes are all there, just some people can’t be present for some reason.

California is getting sick of Dem rule and it is starting to show in the polls. If Newsom pissed off Californians enough to get a recall election triggered, Kamala might be the straw that breaks the camels back. Especially if we have a strong republican or independent canadate.

There are no strong Republicans in California.

I don't think public statements of nuclear doctrine are psyops, pretty sure direct statements from a government aren't psyops, I think they're actually trying to signal to the DoD here in the states. The question is what kind of signal would they actually be sending? Who would believe them, given that anyone in defense planning in the US knows the Russians are not launching a nuke over some overblown kasha plantation? What people are falling for "we'll press the suicide button" who have any influence on the course of the war?

If they are trying to signal to the DoD it's not very effective. The signal to noise ratio is fucking garbage because the Russians love to make noise about having nukes.

 

[George Lucas]

They had enough votes.

Yeah, no, De Santis is being a retard. If the Republicans showed up Manchin would have switched his vote. He does this all the time to keep up the illusion of being a moderate Democrat.

 

[High-Fructose Corn Syrup]

I swear,

Trump and those cuckservatives in congress better pass at a ***MINIMUM*** a Utah style anti-tranny law in regards to protecting legitimate women in sports and an anti-hrt/genital mutilation bill in regards to minors.

If they can't even get something passed supported by a vast majority of even democrats then they deserve to lose forever. The bar is set ultra low for them on this issue, make it happen!

There's been a lot of rumors about ol' Doug over the months and none of it seems to stick. Wouldn't surprise me though, that guy's such a sleaze. And that washed up Jo is the female Harry Sisson, paid DNC activist only.

Speaking of sleazy..


I might believe Ana's been a little more centrist, but this guy can jump in a lake.

I don't think public statements of nuclear doctrine are psyops

Why on earth wouldn't it be? Why wouldn't they say one thing to the general public and another to a given government, privately, if it would help them?

I think they're actually trying to signal to the DoD here in the states. The question is what kind of signal would they actually be sending? Who would believe them, given that anyone in defense planning in the US knows the Russians are not launching a nuke over some overblown kasha plantation? What people are falling for "we'll press the suicide button" who have any influence on the course of the war?

Their signals to the DoD are probably very, very, very clear, either with The Red Phone™ or diplomatic channels or even Putin calling Biden up in broken english to say "fuck you," or possibly "good one, you sly dog."

Unless they have to, and I have every indication to believe they do not, why would they not play the public one way and the government another way, or play both 15 different ways?

All warfare is based on deception.

EDIT: OK, I should have mentioned "ambiguity as a nuclear stance is a tactic some people use" but I think we're well into that given that Russia's made a checkerboard of red lines that people have crossed during this 1,000 day 3 day ooooperation.

 

[Michael Wade]

I don't like how we are harassing the bear and not expecting it to take a swipe at us. Especially when Ukraine's defeat is a matter of time irregardless of casualty comparisons.

 

[Palmer Bangs]

Fuck yes

this is just a shitpost in case it needed to be said

They are willing to use nukes on Kiev.
