President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Citizen Kane nailed this 80 years ago:

 

Well, this shows that the South rose again ... for a few minutes anyway.

 

Parents' child safety obsession
Eisenhower's Normandy obsession

 

Which is why any journalist worth anything should be asking the Rs, "Honestly, are Democrats ever going to be allowed to win another election again without your side claiming it's fraud?"

 

On Newsmax, Donald Trump Says California Recall Is ‘Probably Rigged’

No way a Dem wins a statewide election/recall in California. No way!

 

Republicans: "See? The mediuh can't be trusted. They say SWEAR words! Why won't the mediuh think of our children?"

 

I try to remind myself that these people are only about 28-30 percent of the adult population, but they’re so loud and so stupid that it’s hard.

 

The sad part is that 30 percent gets all engorged, and another 30 percent gets all irate - and THAT' is why people like Loesch still get booked. Because people react.

 

To be fair, that 30 percent is pretty much Fox News’ entire viewership, as they found out on election night and 1/6.

 

Make the argument for me that, among Democrats, it's not:

1 We win!

2 It was voter suppression!

One of the "suppressive" tactics in Texas was, for example, to restrict drive-thru voting. Is that really suppression?

(I agree this is how Republicans act now.)

Bonus: Remember where Christopher Hitchens was certain voter fraud happened in Ohio 2004 - on behalf of the GOP?

Ohio's Odd Numbers

In Miami County, a Saddam Hussein–type turnout was recorded in the Concord Southwest and Concord South precincts, which boasted 98.5 percent and 94.27 percent turnouts, respectively, both of them registering overwhelming majorities for Bush. Miami County also managed to report 19,000 additional votes for Bush after 100 percent of the precincts had reported on Election Day.

 

Christopher Hitchens (RIP) had clearly never been in Miami County, Ohio. Their party loyalty is, indeed, Ba’athist in intensity. Once the gay marriage amendment was on the ballot in Ohio that year, the base was primed and ready. Also a large number of military members, so that would explain those extra votes, I’m assuming.
