President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Because of course.

Steven Mnuchin Stepped In to Prevent Ivanka Trump World Bank Appointment

 

Imagine leaving DC for Sudan because it will be safer - and being right about it.

 

As long as he had the 747 cargo planens full of $100 bills rolling out every day to the money bins, I'm sure Fatfuck was happy with Monkey Boy.

 

If only Khartoum were still here ...

 

But the Democratic Party has too many college graduates!

Charles Blow:

Opinion | Democrats, You’re in Danger

Biden is better than Trump, but that’s not enough. People didn’t just vote for Biden to vanquish a villain, they also wanted a champion. That champion has yet to emerge.

I haven’t seen much about this yet, but it seems like a big deal. It’s going to put a pretty fine point on whether Republicans really prioritize bringing back/keeping jobs stateside or corporate profits.

In any sane world, Republicans would jump on a chance to participate in crafting bipartisan legislation to adopt the 15 percent minimum tax and brag about how much they are helping the middle class. But they won’t. And they’ll make up some reason to blame the Democrats.

 

Steve Mnuchin is the fugliest man in Washington. His ascent to any kind of power is a bloody miracle, to me.

 

I'm convinced that Democrats can't figure out how to craft a compelling message if their lives depended on it.

It came down to a few hundred thousand votes in a couple swing states to defeat an incumbent whose actions led to the deaths of nearly 1 million people.

 

Biden’s margin of victory was much larger than what Trump’s was in 2016.

(Trump’s win margin in 2016 was in the Electoral College votes. He lost the popular vote in 2016 and by twice that margin in 2020.)

 

That's due more a flaw in the Constitution than an indictment of the electorate. Biden received nearly eight million more votes than Trump did. The popular vote is a far more accurate indicator of how the people felt and Biden won by a landslide.

Now he needs to start acting like it. Hammer that point home at every opportunity.
