President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

That’s what the State of the Union address is for. I’m not sure when this nonsense started, but this seems like a good time to end it.

Spreading The Great Replacement theory is about two months from being a plank in the GOP’s convention.

 

For about 40 years the Afrikaaners have been absolutely dead set everything went to hell after the kaffirs started getting set loose from their chicken wire shacks.

Once again, virtually all ordinary mortals would be instantly slammed in prison on contempt charges if they ever breathed such a thing in an official deposition

but that would make the old men in the diner sad and we mustn't do that

 

He does know he's running for another term this year - right? This is really insane. The SB interview typically isn't a toughy - and if he can't sit for an interview with whomever CBS wanted - let alone try and pick his interviewer - it raises more questions than it answers. Like, who is running his campaign? I get a serious Hillary '16 - and Hillary '08 - vibe from his campaign. You have to go out and take it - not expect people to "settle" for you because the other option is untenable. It isn't like the communication strategy has done great things for his poll numbers thus far.

 

And now if he does an interview it'll look like he was hounded into it

 

Counterpoint: It’s also OK to let people avoid politics on Super Bowl Sunday.

There’s 9 months of this campaign coming up with an already weary electorate (for those paying attention). It promises to be the dumbest year on record with the trumplican campaign.

I pay attention to politics far too much. And I don’t think I’ve ever watched the Super Bowl interview, regardless of the president. As you said, it’s friendly fluff. What’s the point?

 

Pure MAGA

 

In the course of a long sportswriting career and an even longer (much) life watching live sports, I have never, ever seen a politician, no matter the party or their ideology, have anything happen but getting the shit booed out of them. In my day, the President did a video greeting to fans shone on the Super Bowl scoreboard before the game. Both Bushes and Clinton, booed to the max. Veteran (and how) pol Biden, also a sports fan, has doubtless heard his share of catcalls. If he concluded that the reaction of a TV sudience would be the same, he's on firm ground.

 

Care to provide an example?
