President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

What do you disagree with him on?

 

Honestly, I could see a jury siding with Krakowski for damages, the My Pillow guy? Hell, he should be grateful for such an article. Seriously, how has he suffered?

 

And this may be the ultimate truth of what a fuckstain trump brought to America. America can’t criticize totalitarian regimes and can’t promote Democratic regime change because America is a shithole authoritarian government and the fascists have appropriated legitimate protests.
BTE: there are 2 sides to Apartheid. 2 sides to female genital mutilation. It’s not anti-Semitism if it true.

the bottom of the barrel have now ascended to set the parameters of national discourse.

 

Dating a libruhl Hollywood actress kills his credibility with the people who want to invade and vandalize the U.S. Capitol and also buy shitty pillows from a reformed crackhead.

 

They bought Trump humping Stormy Daniels and countless Playboy models, Swaggart hooking up with a hooker, Jim Bakker and the secretary, Larry Craig, the Falwell situation, c'mon..... PillowGate is a win-win.

 

Who's a contender to kick Cruz out of the Senate? Beto probably is a non-starter, but is there some rising Democrat who could do the job?

As for Hawley, I don't see anyone coming up in *Missouri* who could do it. Danforth has long been retired, although the master ousting his pupil would be great theater — and great for the U.S.

 

Mainly his proclivity to purposely go against the law . . . basically to get arrested and get headlines. His applications for protests are usually approved; but he holds them on streets that were not approved, and thus fucks up with the security safeguards set in place to protect everybody. It's selfish grandstanding, IMO. I don't like the fact that he hasn't held a real, honest-to-goodness productive job for some time. "Professional provocateur" being funded by other people is not something I hold in high regard. I don't like how he's basically being used as a tool by the West, even though there are "opposition figures" with MUCH higher support in the country whom we ignore.

We shudder about Trump receiving foreign "help". Navalny receives foreign help. Any nation helping Navalny does NOT have Russia's best interests at heart.

Basically, if the US likes him, he MUST be bad for Russia. Call it the Yeltsin Effect. May be completely off base in this case, but that's the bed we made.

All that being said, he insists Crimea belongs to Russia. He supported Russia in the conflict with Georgia in 2008. He is against illegal immigration and in favor of deportation instead of a path to citizenship. So his pegs don't quite fit all the holes you'd think they would. However, he's a little too nationalist for my tastes and has been accused of basing his relationships on peoples' ethnicity. Downright "Trumpist" in some respects, perhaps?

Interesting poll I saw the other day. A couple of years ago Navalny had a 9% "favorable" rating and a 25% "unfavorable" rating. Two-thirds of the country didn't give a shit. Today he has a 20% favorable rating but a 50% unfavorable rating. Many more people now seem to give a shit, but the negative opinion still runs 2.5-1 against him.

 

Why is Beto a non-starter? He almost pulled it off in a midterm before Seditionfest 2021.

 

I love this, because “always do what you think is right” is the rule I follow (and hopefully do close to 100 percent, but I don’t think anybody wouldn’t stray at least a tiny bit) with my decisions involving my volleyball club. I refuse to decide team composition based on parent complaints, etc. when the decisions are made, and there are complaints, the only answer I want to say is “I did what I thought was right.” Same when dealing with my coaches, etc.
the only time I’ve ever had a real problem is the few times I’ve gone against that, and I always regret that. But I’ll also admit when I made that mistake.
I’ve got parents now that say we should throw caution to the wind and start going to out of state tournaments. I won’t, there’s no way I’ll put people in jeopardy like that.
I also made all players wear masks from the first day we went indoors in September, other clubs didn’t, and we’ve had far fewer cases (and any we did had to do with the kids socializing, etc, outside of our practices).

 

McConnell has no say in when the trial starts in the Senate. He's in the minority now.

 

Ms. Bernie if you're nasty.
