President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Four years ago everyone was waiting in line to buy toilet paper.

As Roy Jones, Jr. once said “Y’all must’ve forgot.”

Quality of life better four years ago my ass.

 

This is the nut graf.

Americans need immediate gratification, so they throw any concern about the future out the window in order to feel better right now.

 

Anecdotal evidence for sure, but I know a lot of Trump voters. In general, they drive big fucking Ford F 150s, have nice homes and good vacations and are planning retirements in Tennessee or Bumfuck, Idaho on countless acres. To infer that they are voting for Trump, or against Harris because the price of a head of iceberg lettuce is a buck and a half more, is laughable. It is idiotic.

They voted for Trump because abortion, or they like what Trump has to say about garbage Puerto Ricans, or the size of Arnold Palmer's cock. No other reason.

 

Please give her my thoughts and prayers!

(Dear baby jesus god and goddess, empathy used to be my downfall. I used to be kind and nice -- too much of both for my own good -- but then came MAGA and all of my decency has disappeared. I hope it returns. I hope I can find it again somewhere in my heart that is now dark. I know sunlight and puppies are good for the soul, but neither works today.)

 

Today I learned that Susie Wiles is Pat Summersll’s daughter:

President-elect Trump names Susie Wiles as chief of staff, first woman in the post

 

Oh, oh, oh! I've got two houses I'd love to sell them.

 

I've yet to meet a MAGA who doesn't possess one if not all of those traits.
I'd love to get to know those who voted for Trump only because of inflation, but I doubt they exist.
I'm in Arizona, so ymmv.

 

Well someone has to blamed for the Athletics’ attendance woes.

 

Get ready for a whole bunch of Trump-loving CalPers retirees from California. They hate Newsom, they hate the taxes in California, but love the retirement benefits, and most are able to game the system at the end near retirement to make $100k-150k a year in retirement. I'm not talking about the head of DWP, I am talking about pencil pushers or firemen not even above the rank of engineer. They are coming to a place near you.

Before you sell, ask what retirement they have. If its from California, ask for $20k more.

 

To assume that voters for a perpetual liar are telling the truth when they say their vote was motivated by current economic angst is absurd.

And while we’re at it, let’s compare the security of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2025 to the same on Jan.6, 2021.

 

The inauguration will be followed by Murder





She Wrote, and your late local news.

I've been thinking about some unsolicited 800-word essay with four quotes and such for here (and some other places), but I haven't put my thoughts together. I had the genius of going through an election during fall sports playoffs, a dentist appointment on Wednesday morning and a volunteer gig today, so I've been mostly focused on moving forward and not getting myself booked on assault charges*. Maybe in a couple days. Maybe never. I've learned keeping my mouth shut is often beneficial.

*sorry, maumann.

 

So the wanker who couldn't beat Dr. Freaking Oz just beat an incumbent. Coolcoolcool
