President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Just saw the clip where trump said the U.S. should default if the Dems don’t give in to the debt-ceiling terrorists.

The slimy deadbeat certainly knows about not paying bills. Perhaps the only thing the dumbfuck knows anything about.

 

If they can manage to get the shingles lady to show up for a vote, you bet your sweet bippy they'll subpoena the Real Old Crow (and maybe his medicine show too).

 

If this version of CNN existed in 1868, it would host Jefferson Davis in a town hall with a South Carolina crowd.

 

On the debt ceiling, we're fucked. Start honing your resumes to a fine point.

I can't pay my mortgage on blaming McCarthy and the Pubs.

 

Fact Checker, Washington Post:

Trump fills his CNN town hall with a fire hose of old and new false claims

For more than an hour, former president Donald Trump sent forth a torrent of false and misleading claims during a CNN town hall. Here’s a roundup of some of the more notable ones, arranged by subject matter.

 

Kaitlan Collins: If you had an opportunity to steal the next presidential election, you'd take it, right?

Donald Trump: Of course. It'd be stupid not to.

KC: So, then you'd be fine with Joe Biden inciting a violent mob to overturn the results of that election, right?

DT: No, no, no, Kristin. No! Anyone who would do something like that should be locked up for a long long time. Super duper long.

KC: And if you won the election fairly, you'd be fine with Joe Biden lying repeatedly about how he really won the election, thus undermining you at every turn, right?

DT: Well, clearly, that would be, be a violation....of my Article I, uh, first amendment rights or powers, so no, that would be uh, bad.

 

Do we know anything about the makeup of the audience? I could see MAGAs flying in from the South to fill up the room and make it look like a local crowd when it was a bunch of carpet baggers.

Good story —and more evidence that Tik Tok should be put on a boat out to sea.

 

Oh yes, it has to be those damn Southerners. Surely no one in the sainted North is capable of harboring these awful views.

I like you man, but give me a damn break. I thought Randy Newman punctured this balloon for y’all half a century ago.

 

A short summary for those of us who spent our allowance on the Post instead of the Times?

 

It's a fairly standard Title 42 ending story with the additional reporting that migrants and smugglers are going to Tik Tok to say the border is wide open. (Which, it isn't.) One Tik Tok post had 98 million views.
