President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

The scary part is that she almost won. 0.6% points difference.

 

It’s worse than that. The general public sees “Congress” as one entity. When they see disfunction, they then brand everyone with that label. It’s how JD Vance somehow is equal to Sherrod Brown in terms of effectiveness in the eyes of the average voter.

Party division is now an election thing. Hatred of Congress is an every-waking-moment default. Like bad airplane jokes for bad stand-up comedians, the public defaults to “Those clowns in Congress did it again!”

And then the people who think Congress never doing anything is the best outcome are happy as they continue to paint their train set universe as the civic bonds come unglued.

 

Amazing how Rupert's circus revels in dishing it out, but cannot take what it dishes out:

Laura Ingraham abruptly ends interview after being called out by guest

 

ok

 

Biggest individual money loser in human history hitches wagon to another loser. SAD!

 

Elon Musk should not be (mis)running Twitter.

(See? We can all play this silly game.)

 

Oh, come on. Hatred and mostly ridicule of Congress has been the default public position since the first one was sworn in in 1789. What's different now is that it has become the public position of very loud members of Congress themselves.

 

Want to see a baseball loving newspaper cartoonist pair this failed Speaker with Tris Speaker.

 

Keep the Gregg Berhalter posts to the soccer thread, thanks.
