President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Voters have sown the wind. Now they can reap the whirlwind.

 

Who?

 

Yep. I was pretty much wrong on everything I thought was happening. Extremely depressing.

I said a while back that one way or the other I was going to stop thinking about this stuff so much. If at all. This makes it an easy choice to stop spending mental energy on it. I don’t understand how this awful person has so much support. And I’m gonna stop trying to understand it.

Hopefully the economy stays strong and enough people want to keep social security intact.

Got a ton of great things to focus on in my life. I’m a lucky guy and I’m gonna focus on the good stuff.

 

You weren't wrong.

 

I’ve had to show an I-9 for every company for which I’ve worked. I had to navigate the Australian immigration system, which is at least as draconian as ours.

So how are so many people getting past our borders and sustaining themselves without gaining citizenship?

 

You summed it up perfectly. People indeed are ignorant and stupid, millions of them.

 

Last post. I'm signing off to not sleep. People elected Trump, were almost immediately unhappy, unelected him at their first opportunity and chose Biden. People were then almost immediately unhappy and brought back Trump at their first opportunity. Maybe the problem is our citizens have problems our politics can't solve, because maybe at bottom they're not political. We're just spoiled and willful.

 

Yeah, I'm in the same spot.

I also need to detach from it. I happen to produce a weekly political TV show and produce/co-host a weekly political podcast, so that ain't going to be easy.

 

The economy is going to tank, the golf travel industry will tank with it, and I'll lose my job at 50ish.

That's what I have to look forward to.

 

Harris had nearly four years to come up with specific bullet points on what she would do as president. She never did.

 

And that's what scares me the most.

I work in TV. Layoffs are a constant threat. I'm 57. The economy tanks and I'm all kinds of screwed.

 

You don't have to be a citizen. My wife will never become one, despite my urging. You do need to be a "permanent resident" . . . or on a valid visa.

Many of our illegals came legally, overstayed their visas, and never left. As long as you can find someone willing to pay you for working, you can get along just fine like that if you stay out of trouble.
