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

 

[Breadbassket]

NEW: Obama says Republicans are the ones who rig elections and weaponize the justice system while speaking at a "Democracy Forum." The comment was so outrageous that Obama could barely get the words out of his mouth. "One side tries to stack the deck and lock in [very long pause]..." "A permanent grip on power, either by actively suppressing votes or politicizing the armed forces or using the judiciary criminal justice system to go after opponents."

1. Both of those people served time, Hunter Biden did not.
2. Neither of those pardons were blanket pardons, they were pardons for a specific crime. A pardon covering 10 years and for literally everything they did or may have done is unprecedented.
3. Both of those pardons sucked and shouldn't have happened. That doesn't make Hunter being pardoned a good thing.

The biggest thing for me is not even any of this. It’s that they ran for over a year on how much better they are than evil drumpfler specifically BECAUSE Biden was NEVER going to pardon hunter. How many times was the contrast made to trump because trump didn’t accept the legitimacy of his adjudication? Now Biden is claiming his own doj is rigged.

He looks like he’s aged a million years from seething alone.

Sounds like election denialism.

 

[Local Farmer]

The fact that people are howling that tariffs won't work and also they will destroy Canada and Mexico instantly shows that they're full of shit.

The government was bringing in so much money from tariffs that they had almost no need to tax at one point. In fact they had to create a fucking Amendment to teach people how to pay income taxes.

It’s fucking absurd how right trump is on this.

Here is what I see on this video:

 

[Dammit Mandrake!]

"preemptive pardons"

Is this even legal?

Super-legal.

 

[anti SJW]

"preemptive pardons"

Is this even legal?

In order to get a pardon, don't you have to be convinced of something first?

 

[BubbleButt]

Joni Ernst is a general better than Patton so she knows what she's doing

Joni Ernst is a mentally disabled gutter slut. I legitimately hope she gets shot in the street.

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

If they repeat the lie frequently, it becomes the truth for them.

This is so true that it hurts. How many people still quote the nonsense about Trump trying to overpower his Secret Service driver to go to the January 6 rally? Even after Secret Service said over and over that the story was bullshit? These people live in a fantasy world.

 

[Coptakhenaten]

Ironically it was shit like this that turned me away from a libertarian stance in economics.
Let's put it this way, life is an IQ test and I don't want guys with +130 IQs and zero moral compunctions to be in charge of test design.

I find crypto annoying, but libertarian economics is usually the only reasonable thing when it comes to monetary policy, wages, prices, and production. I don't mind some protectionism but I have never bought argumentss regarding money from non-libertarians because it was the Republicans who pushed for a central bank in the first place

 

[Exterminatus]

Who the fuck voted for Trump for unity? Trump got elected on a "fuck those people" platform. He fucking ran ads stating Dems were for they/them, Trump is for us.

I voted for Dems and RINOs to get crushed underfoot and for economic restoration. Unity is for faggots.

They did. Republicans would've lost this election. It's Trump who won, not them

100% this, Trump had to drag these idiots kicking and screaming across the finish line. If it was up to Lindsey Graham and Mitch the Bitch 2016 and 2024 would've been more "losing with dignity" or voting in a "speedbump conservative" that leftists just walk over anyway.

In order to get a pardon, don't you have to be convinced of something first?

Nope, Nixon was never convicted of anything, but Ford still was still able to pardon him. The main limitation a presidential pardon has is that they cannot cover state crimes, for example Trump couldn't pardon Daniel Penny since Penny isn't being charged with federal crimes. State pardons fall under the purview of governors.

Day one Trump can and likely will pardon all J6 people because they were charged for breaking the law in DC and any crime in DC can be relieved by a presidential pardon as DC doesn't belong to a specific state.

Joni Ernst is a mentally disabled gutter slut. I legitimately hope she gets shot in the street.

I've seen some rumors kicking around that Joni's time in the military involved her being a barracks bunny, not something to hang your hat on.

The Presidential pardon is more or less unlimited when dealing with criminal prosecution on the federal level. Only thing the court might consider knocking down is a pardon for "future crimes" that haven't happened yet.

But a pardon for literally everything you may or may not have done in whatever time frame you like is actually a thing. It's incredibly wide reaching because it's intentionally meant to be a check on political actors weaponizing the law against their political opponents. Getting to make sure your crackhead son who was in charge of bringing foreign money into the family get off scott free is just a perk of the job.

I.E. January 6th political prisoners. A lot of them haven't been convicted yet intentionally because the process is the punishment, but a pardon still puts a stop to that.

 

[Bland Crumbs]

Lol we didn't lose against "Canadians" we lost against pissed off British residing in what is now Canada.

These days we could probably overtake the entire country of Canada with the national guard units of a single large state. Is it worth it, though? Probably not, just nuke em.

Canada is full of faggots and troons. We can grow our own carrots.

 

[Dammit Mandrake!]

Republicans look more menacing and cynical in harsh lighting.

Democrats look ugly and weird.

The choice is obvious.

I

The worst part isn't even the remote work, its that they don't work at all.

have a friend who works in govt and she admits that it can take her (and other) up to 3 mo to respond to an email. Not because busy, but because they just don't care.

 

[Sweeter and Savoury]

Lying is a virtue in the liberal religion

Can you really call it lying when the Left has no beliefs at all? They're not really lying as they can do a 180 in a split second and fully believe it.

Hypocrisy doesn't began to cover it, it's more like a will full desire to believe whatever is best for their side at the exact second in time and still hold themselves as moral.

He's big mad that this election torpedoed his ability to play king maker.

We all know he's too much of a narcissist to make anyone halfway competent king. He cannot bring himself to risk anyone outshining him.
