President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Tots and pears

 

you can't fix stupid.

 

Yeah but at least the Doctors aren't going to transition her baby behind her back.

 

And so it begins....

43 monkeys escape South Carolina research facility; police warn residents to secure doors and windows

 

Might just have to keep this on perpetual standby for all the MAGAts who are now going to reap what they sow.

You didn't vote for him? You have my empathy. But if you did? Well ...

 

This echoes my stance (I didn't write it), perfectly stated for the 11,000 "Christians" in my county of northeast Georgia who apparently need a reminder that Jesus spent his life with the poor and sick, not with the rich and famous.

 

Pretty fitting that they're preparing the S.S. United States this week to be towed out to sea and then sunk.

 

Yes. Yes, I think progressives have transformed the party from a Big Tent of wildly different folks who coalesce around the idea of a fairer shake for working people into a Long List of grievances that, if you go against the orthodoxy, could lose you standing.

Newsrooms have similarly transformed.

And it has helped bring us Trump - who I did not vote for.

 

again, you are proving my point.

People complain about the prices.

Trump says, “hey prices were low when I was present. The democrats policies did this.”

Democrats say, “you must be a stupid Trump supporter to ask that. You must love fascism.”

And you wonder why they didn’t flock to Harris?

 

All Trump has to do is act like he's in a traditional President's second term and do as little as possible. Get out on the golf course every day, like Ike in 1958. The economy is going well enough. As time passes with the lower inflation rate, the higher prices will be increasingly seen as normal. A few immigration raids on TV could pass for mass deportation without the disruption it would cause in reality. Push comes to shove, most Americans would be sad if Russia conquers Ukraine, but not sad enough to hurt Triump's approval eatings. We're in an era of relative peace and prosperity and he's certainly a good enough pitchman to sell that. But he will do the exact opposite because he needs chaos to feel alive. He's addicted to the hustle even now when he doesn't need to be. Saw an interesting anecdote on TwitterX this morning where a woman said that at the manufacturing company in southwest PA where her husband works the company president had an all-hands meeting where he told employees there'd be no Christmas bonus this year because the plant needed to buy a two-year parts stockpile before January 20 when Trump's tariffs could go into effect. He's making trouble for himself already and he's two months away from inauguration.

 

Very soon you will see a blanket ban by all major sports organizations on any kind of political or social displays, except those directly sponsored by the league. Preemptive compliance.

Any kind of flag kneeling, sitting during the anthem, will be disposed of quickly.

 

He’ll be traditional in the William Henry Harrison sense. He’ll be dead and buried by 2026 and President Vance will understand how to actually run the machinery that will turn all of us mouthy progressives into dust bunnies.
