President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Indeed. So clever and pithy.

“Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart —you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you’re a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.”

 

Seems to me a policymaker (Florida's Republican Governor) just allowed a company to dump millions of tons of toxic waste into Tampa Bay.

 

If you ever watched The Everglades documentary on PBS you’d know DeathSantis is continuing a Florida tradition of fucking up the environment that has lasted more than a century

 

Don't. It might actually trigger pain.

The gerrymandering of congressional districts in North Carolina is among the worst in the country. When Pat McCrory – the governor who signed that horrible Bathroom Bill – was ousted by a pinkie Commie Dem like Roy Cooper, state Congress basically passed everything under the sun to try and strip the incoming governor of power.

Thom Tillis dared go against the Subhuman Pile of Crime on something during the latter's reign of error, and Tillis flip-flopped so loudly that the sound could be heard from Saturn. And, believe me, while the Confederate flag has been banned from NASCAR events, it hasn't kept it out of the loop elsewhere.

Sad!

 

Invite DeathSantis for a swim. He'll probably harm the toxic waste.

 

Cannot emphasize this enough. But some Republicans, especially the ones who specialize in propaganda, cannot use terms such as the one above enough.

On one hand, it is tiring. On the other hand, their overuse of the term can indicate that a nerve has been struck. Almost makes their overuse of the term worthwhile.

Almost.

Not so much. NY, Calif. and Ill. each lost a seat, but Oregon and Colorado each gained one. Ohio and West Virginia, pretty red and total red, each lost one. It is possible, I don't know if it's likely but possible, that Montana's new second seat will be at least competitive.

California could confederate and gerrymander the districts so that the one lost

 

California can gerrymander to make the lost seat a Republican seat.
