President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Trump vows to make Michigan ‘car capital of world again’ at campaign rally

He's already discussed the "concepts of his plan." They involve:

-- Catastrophically weakening or completely eliminating union representation in Michigan auto plants

-- Influencing the move of auto production to countries with labor costs massively less expensive (ie, to Mexico, China/Asia or ultimately to Africa)

-- After the complete collapse of the Michigan auto industry using union wage scales, opening new factories paying wages and benefits equivalent to the aforementioned facilities in China, Bangladesh and Africa (where workers often live in dorms with cardboard sleeping bunks and are issued MREs as daily food rations)

That's the concept of his plan. The Race to the Bottom carried to the very very bottom.

 

Can I also get an apology for that asshole sending me campaign crap in the mail every damn day. Dude, you're horrible. I was never going to vote for you. Stop wasting paper and money. Thank you.

 

Always surprised me when Jimmy Buffett fans were stunned by his politics. I mean, do they listen to the lyrics at all?

 

It was only eight months ago when people who couldn't root for the Chiefs because TS faced having to root for the 49ers on the Super Bowl.

 

Don't tell Elon.

 

Why can’t North Carolina and Tennessee just rake the mountains?

 

I want him hurt, defeated, and dead ... in that order.

They don't. It's kind of like conservabros loving Rage Against The Machine for its aggression, then reacting in outrage when they turned out to be leftists who believe all that stuff they were singing about.

 

My gosh, I did the exact same thing today! Went to Costco after work, intending to pick up some toilet paper and paper towels. Went to the back of the warehouse, where it is usually stocked, and...nothing but a big stack of empty pallets that, I'm sure, once held the paper goods. Saw a passing Costco worker and asked about toilet paper and paper towels. "Nope," he said as he breezed past without even looking my way.

And I, too, picked up a rotisserie chicken for dinner tonight.

I have to say, I also was not really thinking of any toilet paper shortage -- except the one in my house -- when I went to Costco for it. It's just a good place to get that kind of stuff. Usually.

 

FAFO.

The judge dropped quite the hammer.

"You’re as defiant a defendant as this court has ever seen."

"You are no hero. You're a charlatan who used, and is still using, your prior position in office to peddle a snake oil that's been proven to be junk time and time again."
