President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Oh, some "party leadership" relocated to Huntsville alright ... 'round about the late '40s.

 

Trump: “Why couldn’t I bomb the media!?!”

 

Strange in all of this, fact that Bibi had conceded and told his opponent to form a new government, has been lost. Bibi is as ruthless as they come.

 

I think the "Bibi is toast" and sudden "uprisings" during his reign line up rather conveniently. I'm not part of the blame Israel crowd, in fact I think we expect better from Israel than we do Palestine because of their skin color and ability to speak English, so they tend to look like bullies. But I just don't think the powers that be between the two sides really want peace, their power comes from the fear and hatred of the other. I'll keep rooting for peace, but it's going to be their peace, they'll be living in it - and both sides need to want it enough where they are willing to put aside the past - and there is a lot of "past" to forget.

 

Because he slept five hours every day

 

Boy, do we have an update on this one:

 

And back to the Matt Gaetz Files (which are far more entertaining than the Poin Files):

 

The Real "Big Lie" Is That
Billionaires Are Tolerable
Great wealth should be seen as deranged hoarding.

American capitalism is premised on many lies. None is more pernicious than the lie that it’s possible to deserve great wealth. This lie is the most necessary one — if people stop believing it, the entire system will crumble. This is “The Big Lie,” and it makes a lie about a single presidential election look like a minor gripe in comparison. Yet as important as this lie is to the self-preservation of the billionaire class, they cannot help themselves from continually acting in ways that make it hard for even the gullible American public to keep on believing it.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’ new $500 million superyacht will also have a “support yacht,” to carry his helicopter. Amazon delivery drivers are forced to piss in bottles in order to make their deliveries on time. Jeff Bezos is the richest businessman in the world. Amazon spent vast sums of money to prevent the workers in one single Alabama warehouse from unionizing so that they could collectively bargain their wages and working conditions. Remember, Jeff Bezos’ new $500 million superyacht will also have a “support yacht,” to carry his helicopter. Amazon brags about paying $15 an hour for warehouse jobs that should be paying twice that much. Jeff Bezos made $70 billion last year.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk made $132 billion last year. ...

The most meaningful shift that could happen in American public opinion is not the yearly fluctuation in affinities for Democrats or Republicans. It is not the broadening public acceptance of gay marriage or legal marijuana. It is not the shifting attitudes towards smoking or climate change or police brutality. The most meaningful shift that could happen would be for Americans to develop an intolerance towards the hoarding of wealth. The day that average citizens stop seeing billionaires as people to be envied and admired and start seeing them as antisocial hoarders monopolizing resources that could be directed towards life-or-death needs elsewhere will be the day that the inequality crisis that has been building since the Reagan era begins to end.

All that it would take for that change to come about would be for people to recognize the simple fact that billionaires do not exist in a vacuum. We all live in this world together. The people with the greatest resources have a responsibility to help the people with the least. That should not be a controversial viewpoint, in a nation full of ostensible Christians, and yet accepting it leads inevitably to a curdled disgust with the possession of absurd levels of wealth.

The Real "Big Lie" Is That Billionaires Are Tolerable - In These Times

 

Whatever happened to asking a woman to dance? Can any of these Republican men get dates without paying or drugging their partners?

 

Oh my Dabo. This one has it all.
Izzruhl. Real Amurricans support Izzruhl unconditionally.
Even better: Izzruhl disrupted the lives of members of The Media. While members of The Media didn’t die, they all lost possessions. Tebow willing, those possessions included laptops and other things they used to do Satan’s libruhl work.

 

But not infrastructure.
