President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

That’s fair.

Also, the S&P is up 16 percent this year and people are convinced the markets have been crashing for months. (They might actually be right now, our CEO spoke to us this week at a meeting and outright said the company’s internals are all pointing to a soft R-word in 2023 and early 2024, which are telling given the medical market is pretty recession resistent.) But that doesn’t change that people are convinced things are terrible even when they aren’t right now.

 

Yeah but gas prices

 

If I could buy nothing but tennis balls and TVs and not have to pay for things like, oh, property taxes and homeowners insurance, I'm sure inflation would seem pretty, er, milquetoast.

 

That’s a little talk radio-ish for you. Are you workshopping material for a new market or something?

 

Cool. Cool. Nothing to see here.
And of course it passed along party lines in the veto proof supermajority that is a result of one person who still should be run out of town.
Yeah, I said it.

The Republican-dominated North Carolina General Assembly is working to take away more powers from the state’s governor. The governor’s powers are already weak by design compared to other states, and a new law that took effect this year took more power away during states of emergency. Now a bill poised to become law will take away the governor’s powers to appoint people to several government oversight boards and commissions.

The bill passed the House 72-47, along party lines, with Republicans supporting and Democrats opposing it. It was sent to the Senate, which approved it on a 27-18, party-line vote with no debate.

 

I paid $1.99 for a dozen jumbo eggs this morning. If the previous price increase was Biden’s fault, I assume that the current prices are on him as well?

 

Remember......

.....the Twitter Files?
.....the Durham Report?
.....the Nunes Memo?
.....Cyberninjas?

 

Alma, again, what job does Hunter Biden have in the president’s administration?

 

Yeah, polls, I know, but you'd think someone in true GOP leadership would realize it's time to cut him loose. Give him the nomination, and you will lose the election. That's a good thing, but when a political party's main goal is to win elections, backing a proven loser doesn't seem like a great strategy.

WASHINGTON — Nearly two-out-of-three Americans said they would probably not or definitely not support former President Donald Trump in a new poll ahead of the 2024 race for the White House.
The poll, conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, found that 53% of Americans say they would definitely not support Trump if he is the Republican nominee next year, and 11% say they probably wouldn’t support him in November 2024.

 

If only the Tsar knew...

 

Not relevant, because nearly 100 percent of GOP politicians know they can't expect to stay in office if they don't swear fealty.

 

They lost the brakes on this downhill semi 15 years ago.
