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

 

[WelperHelper99]

The legislative branch has totally consumed the executive, and the judiciary is subsumed within the same administrative bureaucracy. It would have been better to have a king.

You wouldn't be saying that if Biden was king

 

[General Disarray]

Nigger, what the fuck does this even MEAN? How would boiling the damn ocean solve anything? What turn of phrase were you even attempting, DOCTOR Charmaine?

 

[FILTH Tourist]

Unpopular opinion obviously but I think age limits or term limits would be like putting a band-aid on a "booboo" that really needs stitches.

I think adding term limits with how Congress operates right now might break it. A big reason why people like to stay in Congress until they die is because it runs on a seniority system, the more terms you serve the more authority you have (like being put in charge of committees for example and there for a lot more valuable for lobbyists). Adding term limits would essentially put everyone in Congress on the same playing field and the seniority system is no longer automatically be effective in sorting everyone into who does what job. Which could lead to some dirty shit when people fight to secure important positions.

To be fair, if the USA had a king with President-level powers from the start, the butterfly effect from such a thing would probably prevent Biden ever being in power in the first place.

>Rightist, anti-democratic government

Still sounds pretty based to me. Imagine thinking the masses should make decisions affecting the entire country after watching the past 5-10 years. Remember: the vote of someone who watches MSNBC and is a living, breathing NPC stereotype cancels out your own.

The dumbest ignorant and smartest informed voter have the same amount of power in the United States when it comes to elections. People can like that system or not but that it is objectively how it currently functions. It didn't get that way overnight though.

Why would he be king?

 

[Nuns with guns]

Beyond the horrible humiliation, Kamala comitted the worst sin possible: misleading the donors. She has no future because the DNC only cares about the donors and they're not happy with her.

I doubt that. They asked George Washington. He rejected it. That was your guy. He turned it down because power corrupts. Always. He was right on that. I will die on that hill

 

[Verpa Teutonica Ingens]

Again, they fought a King. One that taxed them, sent their men into their streets to rape murder and pillage, and wouldn't listen. King George bears the responsibility for every American Death in the American Revolution and i hope he burns in fucking hell.

The Romans also fought a king to establish their Republic.

What we need right now is the same thing the Romans needed in the first century BC: someone who can't be corrupted by power, because he doesn't have any moral principles or selfless goals to corrupt.

We have Trump. Be grateful.

Of course, the obvious fucking troon is wearing fetish heels and the shortest skirt, while all the actual females (as liberal harpies as they may be) are wearing much more modest choices.

Only a troon can commit fashion crimes so egregious even straight guys notice.

Washington was very much against it but on the other hand you had people like Hamilton who wanted an elected monarch for life (unless impeached). Monarchist sentiment in the USA at the time probably wasn't that great overall considering the whole war for independence from the UK.

 

[Caddo Cobgang]

the vote of someone who watches MSNBC

most people watching CNN and MSNBC are Boomers who refuse to use the internet, that along with the other shit boomers do (deepthroating Neoliberal Capitalism for example), tell me a lot about why were in the pickle were in

I doubt that. They asked George Washington. He rejected it. That was your guy. He turned it down because power corrupts. Always. He was right on that. I will die on that hill

its true, if we established a Monarchy in America we would be in a just as bad or worse situation, a King is only as powerful as the people directly below him will allow, you have to remember most of the issues the colonists had was not with the King but with Parliament, I mean you look at Britain today even and its basically become North Korea-lite at this point, its not a free speech society

hamilton also got the centralized banking system into practice so he is a gigantic faggot all the way around it's no wonder modern lefties worship him and his fruity musical

Washington was very much against it but on the other hand you had people like Hamilton who wanted an elected monarch for life (unless impeached). Monarchist sentiment in the USA at the time probably wasn't all that great though considering the whole war for independence.

Hamilton was a piece of work. Yeah I know he got a musical and that he died and all, nigga still created the foundation of the banking monster we have today

its true, if we established a Monarchy in America we would be in a just as bad or worse situation, a King is only as powerful as the people directly below him will allow, you have to remember most of the issues the colonists had was not with the King but with Parliament, I mean you look at Britain today even and its basically become North Korea-lite at this point, its not a free speech society

That is what would have happened. And we would have been fucked. The bureaucracy would still win, you'd just have less ways to counter it

The British King is an ornamental head of state and will continue to be one. If the United States had one which was in charge of the government and the country as a whole it's hard to imagine how things would've turned out. It's a good thought exercise at the very least.

 

[UnKillFill]

You wouldn't be saying that if Biden was king

And your point is?

Not saying I completely trust Trump to do everything he's promised, but I would prefer to have a king who genuinely does the things Trump says he's going to do than Biden being a de facto king anyway, and doing everything he can to screw me over while enriching himself.

Powerlessness corrupts people far more than power ever could.
