President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Then set off a thermite grenade on the engine block for good measure.

 

Just remember, when the voting rights act was gutted, GOP legislatures took a series of actions which made it harder for poor people/minorities to vote. Without a hint that there was any credible fraud. When the 2020 results came in, GOP legislatures have and have tried to pass a series of action which made it harder for poor people/minorities to vote. Again, without a hint that there was any credible fraud.

Fact check: Biden honored service members killed in Kabul, checked watch only after ceremony

 

And I understand he was wearing a tan suit to match the watch.

 

You have to take Polififact with a grain of salt because something, something, George Soros.

 

Can somebody tell me how the provision of this Texas law allowing people without any semblance of standing to sue abortion providers can stand? I know the Pseudo Christian Trumpist klan infesting federal courts is dying to outlaw abortion, but come on.
If somebody kills my best friend, I can't sue the killer. But if somebody I don't know performs an abortion at the request of somebody else I don't know, I can sue the doctor/provider? Because that's somehow my business?

 

Brett Kavanaugh was credibly accused of sexual assault, cried during his interview, talked about how much he loved beer, swore revenge on his enemies and still received a lifetime appointment on the highest court in the land.

But hey, why hold him to the standards of a Jeopardy host?

 

I'm feeling a lot like Harold Lewis in that West Wing episode right about now. (wish I could find the clip - here is the final scene).

LEO
Mr. President...

BARTLET
We got the fleet commander?

LEO
Not yet. The JFK's radios have been knocked out along with communications
on the Normandy
and the South Carolina. All we've got is the Hickory. It's a little maintenance
and supply
boat that sails around with the fleet.

They walk into the ELEGANT BRIEFING ROOM. Everyone's there already. Mandy,
Toby, Josh, Sam,
the captain and several guards. Bartlet walks to a table with Abbey and Leo.

BARTLET
So, I guess I'm going to talk to the Captain of the Hickory?

JOSH
The intercom's been knocked out. They're looking for him on foot, sir.

BARTLET
Is there somebody on there now? [points to the radio]

LEO
The kid in the radio shack.

BARTLET
You're kidding.

CAPTAIN
No sir.

ABBEY
Jed, talk to the boy.

The Captain pushes the speaker phone button.

BARTLET
Hello? [pause] Hello? Anyone there?

MAN [on the phone]
This is the U.S.S. Hickory.

BARTLET
Hickory, this is the White House. Who am I speaking to?

MAN [on the phone]
This is Signalman Third Class Harold Lewis.

BARTLET
Son? This is President Bartlet. [No answer.] Hello?

HAROLD LEWIS
Yes, sir.

BARTLET
Is your C.O. around?

HAROLD
Sir, they're getting him right now, sir.

BARTLET
Can I talk to you in the meantime? [beat] Hello?

HAROLD
I'm... yes, sir.

BARTLET
Are you all right, Harold?

HAROLD
I hit my head on... I-I... I hit my head.

BARTLET
Are you bleeding?

HAROLD
Yes, sir.

BARTLET
Can you put something on it?

HAROLD
Well, I need to get to the other... I-I can't reach it and...

BARTLET
You go over and get it. I'll stay right here.

A long pause.

BARTLET
Harold? [pause] Harold, are you back?

HAROLD
Yes, sir. I think the skipper should be here any minute, sir.

BARTLET
Can you tell us what's going on?

HAROLD
Well...

BARTLET
Harold?

HAROLD
Hello?

BARTLET
We're here.

HAROLD
Yeah.

BARTLET
Can you tell us what's going on?

HAROLD
Well, we're looking at I guess 80 foot seas with winds up to 120 knots. We're
shipping
solid green water over the bow. And we've got a fire in the engine room. We
lost our
running lights and may get run over by an aircraft carrier that can't see
in the dark.

Bartlet is at a loss of what to say and kneels down.

BARTLET
Well, I don't know, man. Sounds pretty bad, Harold. I think I'm going to
ask for my
money back. [pause] Harold?

HAROLD
Yes, sir.

BARTLET
I'm going to stay right here, as long as the radio works, okay?

Abbey puts her hand on her husband's shoulder.

HAROLD
Yes, sir.

BARTLET: Hold on....

 

I wonder if Rear Admiral Jack Mehoff signed this one, too.
