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

 

[I Hate The Disabled]

I think we can agree that killing the CEO guy wasn't the best way to deal with our Healthcare system here in the US. But, what other avenues were really open to us for bringing up our grievances that are actually effective?

Gonna celebrate by listening to Ave Maria and grabbing pussies

I have no question this is what happens but that means the issue is with the system itself not the person benefitting from the system. Killing the CEO doesn't do anything, it accomplishes nothing.

Yeah, well, guess the people who run the system should have thought about that before publicly announcing laws don't apply to certain classes of people.

Funny, it made at least one other company roll back their faggotry in panic, and caused a bunch of opportunistic politicos go after the industry. All in like a day or two.

Yeah the absolute denial needed to claim "this changes nothing" is really impressive

 

[Pope Urban]

Biden, realizing there's nothing stopping him other than a gentlemen's agreement that the US system is built upon, decides to pardon 39 people and commute the sentence of 1500 people in the single largest number of such actions in a single day in history. And he's promising to do more.

I think the strategy here is to be as extreme with the pardons as possible. The more extensive and unprecedented his pardoning streak is, the more vengeful he can claim Trump would have been.
"See! Look how many of Trump's enemies I have to pardon! He's just THAT MUCH of a fascist!"

Fetterman Breaks Rank: First Senate Democrat to Meet with Hegseth and Stefanik, Hints at Possible Support

Spoiler: Article text

On Thursday morning, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) became the first Senate Democrat to meet with Pete Hegseth, Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense.

Speaking with CNN’s Manu Raju, Fetterman defended his decision to meet with Hegseth, emphasizing the importance of open dialogue and a willingness to work across party lines.

When questioned about the allegations against Hegseth, Fetterman emphasized the importance of due process, noting that there haven’t been any formal criminal charges.

“I know there hasn’t been any formal charges, criminal-wise,” Fetterman said. “It’s all one of the things that I’m sure might come up on the conversation today, but I am aware there are some allegations of course.”

Fetterman stopped short of explicitly stating whether he would vote to confirm Hegseth but left the door wide open, saying he is open to the conversation currently, according to CNN.

The Pennsylvania senator admitted he was unfamiliar with Hegseth before his nomination but said the meeting would be an opportunity to discuss key issues like military strategy and foreign policy.

“Honestly, I’d never heard of him before he was nominated. So it’s an opportunity to just have a discussion on … issues. I suspect there are some things we might agree on in terms of military, whether its China or Israel, and maybe disagree, perhaps on Ukraine,” Fetterman said. “But I think it’s an opportunity to have a conversation.”

“I’m not sure why it’d be controversial to anybody if he’s the individual who could potentially be the next secretary of defense. I’m not just a senator for Pennsylvania, for my voters or Democrats, it’s for all of us.

“That’s why I have decided to engage with people who are going to be incredibly important parts of the new administration,” he said, adding, “Those individuals can vent or rant on Twitter but I’m here to have conversations, and I think I’m just doing my job.”

Whoever is puppeting this mongoloid is angling for some blue-dog "maverick" flip-flop, deciding vote, power.

“Honestly, I’d never heard of him before he was nominated. So it’s an opportunity to just have a discussion on … issues. I suspect there are some things we might agree on in terms of military, whether its China or Israel, and maybe disagree, perhaps on Ukraine", Fetterman said. “But I think it’s an opportunity to have a conversation.”

I had a nightmare that this stroke patient became president and wore a hoodie to the inauguration. Or maybe I just escaped the extra retarded timeline.

Still the best PA Senator since Arlen Specter.

If you wanted to destroy the industry, get the commies to push for a law stating that insurance companies can't reject any claims. Ever. You'll find that many commies in America think that's already the law, and those that don't think it SHOULD be.

It's stupid enough that the commies would go for it, the establishment left would do everything in their power to prevent it from happening. Best case scenario, nothing happens but the left and the Uniparty get a bit more annoyed at each other. Most hilarious case scenario, total insurance company death.

I don't get how people still think flying to places in the US is even a good idea.

That shit went south after 9-11 and has gotten exponentially worse since then

Fun fact: you do not have to go through those giant machines where they scan you like you're a terrorist and dose you with shitloads of radiation.

You can request a pat-down. It takes a little longer - sometimes upwards of 10-15 minutes because they need a free TSA employee, or because the TSA hates it when they have to actually work - but you absolutely can do this. Most of the time, they will tell you it might take longer, you say okay, they give you a half-assed pat down, put their gloves in a machine to check for certain chemicals, and you're done.

This. Put yourself above the law, put yourself beyond its protection.

If this health care CEO had been pushed onto subway tracks and killed by a schizophrenic nigger, this story would already be out of the news. White guys aren't supposed to snap. Getting killed by a nigger is just part & parcel, though.

You can technically take the Greyhound to almost everywhere you want.

There's also some kind of fastpass that allows one to bypass most of the TSA bullshit.

Italians are considered white now?

 

[Rudolf's Friend]

I have no idea what's going on here, but based on the look of things it seems that the democrats knowing that they don't control the Legislative branch are trying to enforce their rule over the state through lolsuits, while their cheerleaders call for the republicans' deaths. I wonder if these people actually enjoy having the feds visit them.

Not since 2020. Greyhound is all but dead.
