President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Welcome to the January 6th Planning Committee

 

When's the last time you heard Republicans argue amongst themselves about how big their tax cuts should be like the Dems continually slashing their own bill before the GOP even gets a sniff of it? Reminds me a lot of what they did with ObamaCare.

 

The democrats seem like they just don’t have the guts (I was going to say balls, but thinking about it that phrasing is kind of sexist since it implies women by design don’t have what it takes, ‘“balls’’, to do tough things) to take on these people right now. The insurrectionists aren’t going to stop unless we stop them. If we let it go now, they will go on to the next step. Each step is going to be worse and worse.
It kind of parallels the way the north didn’t step up in the years leading up to the civil war, thinking appeasing the south states over slavery with compromises would end the problem.
The fight is going to come. They should have it now before insurrectionists gain strength. These people aren't going to stop until we stop then. They don’t ever intend to let it go.
I’d even go back to Obama not taking the fight to the republicans over garland (which handed the Supreme Court to republicans) and the democrats giving in on the florida election in 2000. We’ve let it go every time. And they are going to take advantage of every time we give an inch or two.
This is going to have to be ugly at some point. I think we will win in the long run, but we’d be so much better off if we cut them off at the knees now. As others have noted, the Republicans know they can’t win if we leave it up to majority rule. They don’t want democracy. They want the power, and will continue taking steps to gain power they can’t get through our current system.

 

McAuliffe: Youngkin is like Trump.
Youngkin: No, I'm not. Now, let's ban this Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by a Black female author from our schools.

 

Well put. In my mind, the destruction of America’s civic institutions began when Gore didn’t fight, and started steamrolling when Obama didn’t fight for Garland.
The Democrats are complicit in the coming QOP take over of our country.

 

I’m glad Kander is doing better these days. I hope he gets back into politics because Missouri and the nation could use more like him.

 

I'm willing to move back to CoMo just so I can vote for a dude who uses "bonkersly" in a tweet.

 

Had Gore prevailed in his fight, "Stop the Steal" insurrections would have started 20 years ago.

 

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

A fear grows in Trumpworld: Have we gone too conspiratorial?

Among self-identified 2020 Trump voters, just 22 percent said they believed the 2020 elections were free and fair; while 72 percent said they probably or definitely were not.

 

What more could Obama have done with Garland??
