President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

I was the last of my friends to want a smart phone because I knew I’d become a junky. Hell, text messaging turned me into some weird lab rat where I’d scramble for the phone the minute I heard it go off.

 

Can you hear them?
Talking about us
Telling lies
Well, that's no surprise

Can you see them?
See right through them
They have a shield
Nothing must be revealed

It doesn't matter what we say
No one listens anyway
Indictments are sealed

There's a weapon
That they will use
In their defense
Violence

When you look at them
Look right through them
That's when they disappear
That's when we lose the fear

Put in Klobuchar or Whitehouse or Durbin.

A couple of observations about today's Republicans:

I've never been wealthy or had any power that wasn't situational. Is enriching yourself and having power that important when you are a miserable fuck with nothing else in life?
Every man dies, and the only thing you take with you is the legacy of your name. Do they not understand that their and their family's name will not be mentioned well throughout history.

 

Josh has probably never even been kicked out of a bar before- all of this is going to be very new for him. But hey, daddy's a banker, maybe he can help like he always has.

It reminds me of when A-Rod tried to jar the ball loose on the first-base tag and then kept running the bases like a fuckin moron, knowing full well he broke a rule.

 

Could an act of Congress take the DC Guard’s deployment out of the hands of the Executive Branch and hand it to the chief elected official of the District (or eventually state) of Columbia?

Unquestionably worthy. There shall be no slander to the contrary.

 

Stolen valor one semester sexual assaulter fake paralympian Cawthorn put on the House Veterans Affairs Committee. The kid who lied about getting into the Naval Academy is going to question leaders and veterans who actually served honorably. ‘F You’ from McConnell to veterans.
