President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Mister blowhard risin'
Mister blowhard risin'
Got to keep on risin'

 

Adjusted for next week’s GOP convention in Milwaukee:

Just got into town about an hour ago,
Picked up some Big Macs, scored me some cheap blow,
Adult film star in a Wisconsin bungalow,
Are you a lucky MAGA lady in this city of blight?

 

Bravo, my friend. Bravo.

 

Some conservatives may suddenly be opposed to Project 2025.
Porn in the USA: Conservatives are biggest consumers

 

One thing that will happen if we do get Project 2025 implemented is it will look like a trap door opened underneath church membership rolls. I’m not entirely sure the authors mind that, as they are obsessed with the idea of being “set apart.” But at some point you do need enough critical mass to keep the whole thing from falling like a soufflé.

Nothing in American politics turns people against an idea like having the party they put in charge advocate for it.

 

I'm shocked! Shocked!!

(That they were able to get FOIA requested information so quickly)

 

I'm hearing a rate cut is expected as early as September. Inflation is down. When does Biden get the "W" for avoiding a recession? I do wish he'd hand it off to Harris though, spend the rest of his term taking a well-earned victory lap.

 

Two weeks of turmoil, and it's possible that the dynamic hasn't really changed in the forecast.



Also, Harris could be more viable than people think.

 

Harris-Whitmer would be a strong ticket. GOP's true hatred of Blacks, minorities and women would be further exposed.

I really don't think there would be much blowback to Biden dropping out. Dems are gonna vote for whomever, and Harris-Whitmer increases the turnout and wins Michigan and maybe Wisconsin. And it removes Biden's age from the conversation and might actually force the GOP to argue the issues, which they can't win.

Pennsylvania and Virginia are not tossups. Dems killed it in Penn in 2022 and Young Kim has been proven to be the fool people knew he was, in their heart of hearts.

And again, I think the immense amount of hatred many have for Trump is being underestimated. Most sane people are just sick to death of that guy. Now they need to be incentivized to vote.

 

I think that the "Anybody but Trump" vote is more color-blind than people expect.

Folks may not embrace Kamala but she is not infected with the fingernails on the chalkboard kneejerk reaction that Hillary had for so many. She's smart, but she does not come off as smug.

 

A guy told me the only acceptable number of illegal immigrants voting is zero and any number is a massive problem. I told him that’s not a valid argument.
