President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

The current trumplican bellyaching about the Dems not saving McCarthy is beyond rich.

McCarthy has done nothing but lead a revenge tour, based on nothing. No facts or evidence

He reneged on the agreed up budget deal, which is why we only have the 45-day CR. And the Dems got that passed for him, compromising on Ukraine aid.

Then, two days before he was ousted, goes on teevee and tries to entirely blame the Dems for nearly shutting down the government. After the Dems made the CR pass.

And then he wants a helping hand? GTFOH.

It might help if the trumplicans had some other governing strategy other than owning the libs and calling them groomers, pedos, enemies and communists.

There are enough sane GOPers in the House to lead and bring back sanity. But they’re too scared to lead.

I'm fortunate to afford it, but I'll always spend the money on a high-end insurance plan vs. buying a bigger house.

 

All of us vaccinated folks ready to turn into zombies when the phone alert goes off at 2:20?

I kinda am.

 

My zombie activation sound came two minutes early and I'm going to get the BEST brains because of it. Winning!

 

Or even when they superimposed the score/time bug on the screen? Oh the humanity!

 

Why am I suddenly feeling the urge to pierce my nose, eat avocado toast and listen to Lena Dunham podcasts?
