President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

And we must assume that Trumpists are motivated to support their boy by economic angst, which he will surely cure.

 

I had to read a text from one of my best friends about how Tuesday was a good day for America and a great day for Israel. I wrote back asking what more he wanted from the Biden administration and he said “you know”. I said that I didn’t know and he said that at the end of the day, Trump really loves Israel. Unreal.

 

"You see, Mr. Angel. I need you find Donny Favorite for me. I helped him in his career years ago and he owes me."

 

Bought myself a new pair of bootstraps today, so I’m ready to get to work.

 

I first gave you the like for the Murder, She Wrote line. And then saw the asterisk! Take your two likes and shut your mouth!

 

Not so much a national abortion bill but a test case will be fast-tracked up to SCOTUS claiming human life begins at conception, and thus the destruction of any zygote, embryo or fetus must be classified as some variation of homicide -- murder or manslaughter.

That's what the hardcores have wanted since 1973. To win the war all at once.

 

I have always been confused by self-styled Christian evangelicals on abortion. On one hand, they claim abortion is murder. A heinous crime opposed by God. Yet in the next breath, they say it should not be a federal crime but a matter handled by the states. If it’s so evil and opposed by God, why should the possibility of its occurrence exist anywhere in this Christian nation?

 

They don't want it to be handled by the states. They want it utterly outlawed everywhere.


The "send it back to the states" stuff is just back-scratching for their neoconfederate KKK membership that likes to hear that shit.

2024: Our long national nightmare continues

 

When I sold the farm, a neighbor out the road wanted me to sell it to him for pennies on the dollar so he could, and I quote, "Keep people from moving in here."
I priced it to him, and he got mad.
"You're just trying to get some of that California money. You don't care what happens after you leave."
"Uhh, yeah. I'm looking after the financial security of my family. You're right. I don't give a shit what happens when I'm gone."

A subdivision is going in. If my great grandfather meets me pissed in the afterlife, so be it. He died on this land and because of it at 42.

 

True. Yet some of them say — for now — that the states should decide. This, of course, is a dodge and a tip of the hat to the rationale that upheld slavery. They can’t quit that.
