President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Ferget insurrectin' here's the real crime

Conservatives mock VP Harris for using visual descriptions, pronouns during event

 

I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks the left seems to go overboard on giving the appearance of inclusivity (announcing pronouns, land acknowledgements, ASL interpreters) but doesn't really back it up when deals and decisions are made behind closed doors where there are no mics or cameras to show how "inclusive" they are.

 

No. Not “democracy might be threatened.”

He said “the end of Congress.” That Congress will end, and there will never be an election again, if Republicans win the Senate and House in November. Which is embarrassing analysis.

Here’s Nance in Salon. He’s not kidding. Consider what he thinks about our national guard.

Here is a scenario from my new book. Terrorists bomb a parade using high-technology drones that are synced together and drop mortar bombs, just like ISIS does. The president of the United States starts getting these reports. It's not one city, it's 10 cities right here in the United States. Armed men are taking over federal armories and National Guardsmen are not stopping them. The president of the United States, in a matter of moments, has to do several things. The president has to federalize state troops. The U.S. military would have to be mobilized to fight state troopers and recalcitrant National Guardsmen who refuse federal orders.

 

ASL interpreters are what they landed on after workshopping alternatives.

Jan. 6, 2021: The sitting president expressed the desire for metal detectors to be turned off so his armed klan could enter the Capitol unimpeded. Nobody of his party in Congress seems to care. Still.

SCOTUS has been effectively packed by people far more powerful than one pundit. And they are eager to hear the argument that a state legislature can nullify the popular vote for any reason of its choosing.

An advisor to the Trumpist candidate for governor of Pennsylvania says nobody except Christians should have any say in government.

 

My first Metallica experience after Master of Puppets and Monsters of Rock. Still a fan.

 

If you think Nance’s scenario of the National Guard as a massive Trumpist sleeper cell is legit, well, so be it. I don’t.

 

All as crazy as shithouse rats and just as apt to eat each other up.
