President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Perhaps of interest only to me, but indicative of the state of politics ...

Jake Bequette is a former All-SEC DE, MVP of the 2012 Cotton Bowl and third generation Razorback football player. He was drafted by NE, but an injury ended his career. After a brief tenure in the US Army, he ran for Senate in 2022 and was boatraced in the GOP primary by incumbent John Boozman. Since then he's turned himself into a far-right social media guy. Jack Posobiec is a buddy of his.

Arkansas coach Sam Pittman spoke Monday about social media being toxic and negatively affecting his players' mental health. Pittman himself nuked his Twitter account after people kept roasting him for being fat and having man boobs. This sent Bequette into a rage. He's been on a 48-hour tear - invoking every MAGA trope possible in mocking Sam Pittman and those who are defending the coach's action. Apparently, if you seek mental health help you are a woke soyboy in Bequette's world. He's now attacking journalists for reporting on his attacks on Pittman. He said if you're a fan of a team, you have a loser's mentality.

This is another example of the mess MAGA has made of political discourse. This guy is torching his (and he's dad's and his grandfather's) Razorback legacy to chase clout with the MAGA crowd. He's destroying his family name in the state ... and probably thinks this is how he eventually gets elected to office.

 

WINDBAG!

 

He went fall Jake Lamotta. "I heard some things, I heard some things." And like, Jake, Tubs has a brotherly conflict.

 

Fuck Morning Joe. Scarborough is one of the guys who gave asshole Trump loads of free airtime for months. He created the monster.

 

From Allison Gill:

"To all those who would discount Cassidy Hutchinson because she adored trump at one point: We can NOT scream at trump supporters to change, and then give them no grace to do so. We need to be a safe place for them to land. PERIOD."

TLDR: Don't tell people to stop taking crazy pills then them to fuck off when they do.

‘You Presented It!’ Republican Congressman Crumbles When Pressed By NBC Reporter On His Timeline Of Biden Allegations

It's really the crux of the GOP impeachment effort, they are saying Biden waa influence peddling, when as a retired VP, he really had no influence.
