President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

I get low-key anxiety at keeping up with reading the New Yorker and Economist cover to cover and this shit where I don’t get an edition for three weeks and then get four at the same time is driving me nuts.

 

All of a sudden, everybody wants to be Rick “Not the NASCAR driver” Wilson.

Bye, Donald Trump -- Witless Ape Rides Helicopter | National Review

 

Wow. That sounds like a lot of prayin'. Must have been frustrating.

 

That’s the second time Biden did that with Roker.

 

I bet he is going through the normal depression/let down/decompression that we all feel after a long term project ends. Especially for him. Everything, having crowds love you, having all that attention, people doing everything for you. getting called "sir" all day. People talking about you almost exclusively all day on the news. With his diseased brain it must be almost unbearable. lol. hugs and handpounds!!

 

So played put already but I particularly liked this one.

 

I wonder if Lindsey Graham is going to go back to being pals with Biden. He seems to always have to latch on to someone else to have any clout - McCain, Trump etc. Also wonder about the other back-benchers who raised their profiles in the Trump era. Going to be interesting to see how relationships get sorted out over the next few months, and how much and what impact the former President will have on the GOP.

 

I’ve had The New Yorker subscription for most of the last 25 years. I’ve always been a casual reader, though I read Talk of the Town thoroughly. I kick myself off not having the time and patience for the fiction. Over the last 4 years I’ve found it difficult to read. It just made me angry to read about the shit that was being done. I am looking forward to getting back into reading it more closely.

BTW can anyone recommend a collection of New Yorker Shirt Stories? Can’t seem to find one

 

Well, there's going to be an impeachment trial real soon that will shed much light on the issue of how much influence Trump will have on the GOP.

 

Always thought the "right track/wrong track" poll question was somewhat useless and ambiguous - but I also don't think the differential has ever been this high at the start of a new administration fwiw.
