President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Looking at the benches of both parties and thinking of future Presidents makes me want to drink bleach.

Sometimes they just pop up out if nowhere, though. Hoping out there is a Lincoln we don’t know about yet.

 

Though she's done execrable things in the past, my febrile brain thinks Liz Cheney could cross over, if she got enough donors.

Don't @ me.

 

It's hard to imagine a self-proclaimed voter for Democrats using "Europe" as a pejorative, but here we are.

 

Cheney is performing the necessary first step of scrubbing her hands clean of the shitstains of Fatfuck.

Brooks argues for the spending bill:

Opinion | This Is Why We Need to Spend $4 Trillion

(Underline was italicized in column.)

The Democratic spending bills are economic packages that serve moral and cultural purposes. They should be measured by their cultural impact, not merely by some wonky analysis. In real, tangible ways, they would redistribute dignity back downward. They would support hundreds of thousands of jobs for home health care workers, child care workers, construction workers, metal workers, supply chain workers. They would ease the indignity millions of parents face having to raise their children in poverty.
...
In normal times I’d argue that many of the programs in these packages may be ineffective. I’m a lot more worried about debt than progressives seem to be. But we’re a nation enduring a national rupture, and the most violent parts of it may still be yet to come.

These packages say to the struggling parents and the warehouse workers: I see you. Your work has dignity. You are paving your way. You are at the center of our national vision.

This is how you fortify a compelling moral identity, which is what all of us need if we’re going to be able to look in the mirror with self-respect. This is the cultural transformation that good policy can sometimes achieve. Statecraft is soulcraft.

 

That’s the one who needs to lay down a firm marker for what she wants. You can howl at Manchin all day, but at least he recognizes a negotiation. Sinema is still treating Washington like an Insta background.

No way Liz Cheney wins any national office after the clusterfuck that was the Iraq war.

 

She wants to lead whatever's left of the dead decayed husk of the GQP after Fatfuck goes up in a nuclear fireball.

It'll make things easier for her if both GWB and her dear sweet daddy have kicked off, too.
