President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

You'd think Fatfuck would smell ok from jumping in the jacuzzi bubble bath with Ivanky four or five times a week.

 

I would expect a hotelier not to smell bad. He's an asshole and it's been confirmed he smells like one too.

 

Stinky Man is getting the disciplining he should have gotten when he was a kid. No wonder the star heir doesn't know how to deal with it.

Up yours Stinky Man.

 

Did anyone look at South Carolina’s Declaration of Secession? It’s her home state after all. I’m
Sure she’s seen the document before.

The Declaration states, in part, "A geographical line has been drawn across the Union, and all the States north of that line have united in the election of a man to the high office of President of the United States, whose opinions and purposes are hostile to slavery."

Good news!

We started this year-end list of happy events in 2020 by listing 20 reasons for hope and cheer during a pandemic. We’re doing it again in 2023 amid war and political division. Here are 23 positive memories as we close another trip around the sun.

1. Egg prices are back to $2 a dozen.

Remember egg-mania, when prices soared over $4? (In California, prices were over $7!) Well, inflation cooled, and the avian flu receded, and eggs are affordable again.

 

It is not like Haley's home state was the first to secede.....

 

The South, when you think about it. The North was just using the South’s own standards and applying it to population.

Since the South was claiming slaves were property and not people, the North called them out on that when it came time to count how many people in each state. The South, being the hypocrites that they were, suddenly wanted slaves to be counted as full people for that purpose. 3/5 was the compromise.

 

It takes Texas until the third sentence of the third paragraph to get to slavery. It seems to have been a high priority.

Sure, there were multiple causes, but to ignore or gloss over slavery as a major factor seems to be deliberately leaving the ugly part unsaid.

No. The compromise had roots in Continental Congress when the Articles of Confederation were being debated and a special committee looked into apportioning taxes by population (rather than the value of land, which the states had systematically devalued ... hmmm, some things never change). That committee's proposal wasn't adopted because New Hampshire and Rhode Island wouldn't agree and everything had to be unanimous.

When the Constitutional Convention convened, the convention adopted that numerical basis on the motion of James Wilson (Pennsylvania), Roger Sherman (Connecticut) and James Pinckney (South Carolina). There was no "suddenly" or "hypocrisy!!!!" about it.
