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

 

[CaddestSlown]

Most of you owe me an apology.

Hi Queesechake! Have you met Fatpacks yet?


Seems like you have!

I think you two would get along! Everyone should have a pal for the holidays.

Even Save the Loli is here! It's like the whole gang is here for Post-Christmas.

Now where's Sockiest Sock when you need him? Let's make it the SPICIEST Friday before New Years!

 

[XYZpdq Jr.]

Hear me out. How about… no immigration?

HB-1?
how about aych bee NONE

"Elon Musk must have misunderstood me when I said that I want to incorporate America's hat into the great United States. He seems to think that I also wanted us to have Asia's dirty, crapped briefs. It's an understandable mistake, as Castreau has let in so many millions of Indians that are causing so much trouble to the people of Canada. It is not our duty to enrich the people of a backwards country on the other side of the globe, but to Make North America Great Again." Dolan probably isn't going to say this but it would make me very hyped.

Now where's Sockiest Sock when you need him?

He’s rebranded and unretarded his persona on the forum

 

[“Token” the Neigermiester]

It's 100000000% him

My vocal recognition never fails.

 

[Fanatical Pragmatist]

Where the hell are you reading this? If anything, the left is mostly just seeing the MAGA agenda circle the drain and laughing at "the chuds". Especially the usual MSM suspects.

They've been saying "Trump is finished" since the 2016 primary season.

Excuse me while I don't pay any mind to the nth fucking "its over for MAGA!" prediction before Trump is even sworn into office...

This should've been all the proof that Vivek is a retard:

Late but I am sorta glad Elon has gone mask off now instead of waiting. His absolutely horrendous lack of common sense and ability to read the room made him reveal his colors now before Trump confirmed him or any of his suggested picks to the government.

My fav crypto-chud soylennial "IdleWords" has been SEETHING at Musk for years over NASA chasing manned space flight instead of machine-gunning probes, telescopes, curiosity-robots and satellites across the entire solar system instead of pissing away billions on dicking around Nevada in ad-hoc space suits. https://idlewords.com/2023/1/why_not_mars.htm#fn61

We’re at a rare moment when the United States is in between white elephant space projects. The ISS is nearing the end of its life[61], and tensions between NASA and Roscosmos have filled all hearts with hope that we can soon drop the thing into the ocean. For the first time since Nixon, Americans have a chance to choose a bolder future for their space program.

One path forward would be to build on the technological revolution of the past fifty years and go explore the hell out of space with robots. This future is available to us right now. Simply redirecting the $11.6 billion budget[62] for human space flight would be enough to staff up the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and go from launching one major project per decade to multiple planetary probes and telescopes a year[63]. It would be the start of the greatest era of discovery in history.

A different path forward would take us to Mars the slow, dangerous, and hard way. It would take decades and cost hundreds of billions of dollars. It requires developing a solipsistic technology that can’t take us anywhere else except Venus[64]. And it is not guaranteed to work. If there’s a reason this plan is better than going exploring, NASA should articulate it to the people who are going to be paying the bill.

NASA has spent decades learning how to survive in the harsh environment of Congress, and that knowledge is bearing fruit today. The machinery that brought us two pointless multibillion dollar space projects has been spun up again to take us to Mars. Like George Lucas preparing to release another awful prequel, NASA is hoping that cool spaceships and nostalgia will be enough to keep everyone from noticing that their story makes no sense. But you can't lie your way to Mars, no matter how sincerely you believe in what you're doing.

[61] NASA plans to de-orbit the ISS in 2031, but Roscosmos says they’ll bail in 2024.
[62] I base this figure on the 2023 NASA budget request, which earmarks $7.4 billion for Moon-to-Mars stuff and $4.2 billion for the ISS.
[63] For context, consider the cost of missions like Europa Clipper ($5 billion), the Mars Science Laboratory / Curiosity Mars rover ($3.2 billion), or the Roman Space Telescope ($3.2 billion). There is potential for substantial savings by binning similar missions, sharing hardware, and not being forced to launch on NASA’s overpriced rockets.
[64] No one seems to want to go to Venus, but conditions higher up in the atmosphere are surprisingly mild (0.53 bar, 27C at ~55km). If not for the sulfuric acid, astronauts could even go relax outside their blimp wearing just shorts and an oxygen mask. For a cool blimp mission to Venus, see: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/20160006329

Who would've thought that all this time, @Hey Johnny Bravo was actually this saar.

I'm worse than an Indian: I'm a Sicilian.

By the way, that movie is pretty good as far as an afterthought series finale goes.

We will allow you a seat on the council of racists but we do not grant you the title of white.

 

[merrybrandybuck]

I understand what Trump is doing. He doesn't want to be called a racist

Well that ship has sailed in 2015. He is now racist rapist Nazi Hitler to half the country and he better remember who his friends are real well.

Okay here's the deal, one percenters:

1. You get your outsourced labor and immigrants for twenty years.

2. Simultaneously you have twenty years to, on your own dime, fix the math education problem.

Then no more immigrants and you deal with the results.

What a retarded take from a non American.

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

It's a cold day in hell when Fatpacks is more reasonable than Diana Moon.

I mean this as a friend: if you find yourself agreeing with Fatpacks against Diana Moon Glampers, you might want to consider that you are being played. I don't mind the resident shill getting some love, but he's a raging glowie and also refuses to put the burger on.

We will allow you a seat on the council of racists but we do not grant you the title of white.

How can you do this? This is outrageous! It's unfair! How can you be on the council and not be white?

 

[The Ugly One]

There is no math education problem in America. White kids continue to do fine on math tests. Asian kids, too. The problem is America is becoming less and less white. Niggers and spics, who are going to be half of all kids soon, are just not very smart.

I love when foreigners who know nothing about our education system tell us we suck. Our graduation requirements are the bare minimum, not the maximum, and our maximum is higher than every other country in the world.

Minor PL, but I graduated from a non-magnet public high school having taken four college-level math courses after taking second-semester calculus (by college standards) in my sophomore (second) year. I was not the valedictorian; other kids did more. Also, because Vivek thinks that jocks are dumb, the valedictorian was a lettered athlete.

You know full damn well if you give an inch, they'll take the mile and leave you high and dry.

If it's the system that's the problem then why isn't the focus on improving it, instead of importing pajeets?

I also think there are inaccuracies here because most parents I speak to say home ec isn't really done anymore, and they wish it was. The slowdown of education is mostly related to common core and trying to teach to the lowest common denominator which means the best and the brightest are left bored and frustrated instead of engaged and motivated to explore education further and challenge themselves. I'll let you guess who makes up the majority of the "lowest common denominator" in classrooms.


Just admit you want cheap later even if they have to work twice as many hours to get anything done. Anyone who has dealt with outsourced code or customer service knows pajeets aren't more intelligent or hardworking than average Americans. Everyone has a story about a pajeets who fucks up the simplest thing even a child could do or just refuses to try and takes shortcuts because doing it properly is too much work.

This isn't about anything being wrong with American culture. Yes there's issues with education but not to the point where most people can't or won't code. It's a desire for a cheap slave class you can deport if they start asking for time off or a raise.

It's about wanting companies to succeed instead of Americans and America itself. Who gives a shit if PayPal or tesla get cheap developers if the product is buggy and shitty and American workers don't benefit from it? The country makes money but the citizens are left to rot and blamed for their own struggle?

It's the same argument as saying we need to import a billion Mexicans because Americans are too lazy to pick their own apples. It's fucking horseshit. It's always American workers who are at fault, for some reason, and somehow the natural conclusion is importing more people who don't give a fuck about the country.
