President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

No wonder Trump wants to dismantle the department of education.

 

Have they explained how they think Trump is going to help them?

No one deems them terrible for their legitimate concerns. In fact, Kamala Harris would've "given them a seat at the table." Non-Trump voters are deeming terrible their turn to someone who will not help them, who will, in all likelihood, make things worse, and who is, yes, a fascist demon, himself.

This vote was not explainable, much as everybody -- and I mean seemingly everybody -- has tried to do it in the past two days. None of the analysis explains how people apparently not liking themselves being called names (which has not happened) results in their electing the most juvenile, genuinely mean and nasty -- like, for real -- name-caller of us all, and elevating him to a position in which he can now say and do, literally, anything, with impunity. Because, like a bad parent, they've certainly shown him that he can.

That is ignorant and stupid. And please don't consider that name-calling; it is, unfortunately, an actual, factual truth.

Unless they told you why they think Trump can and/or will do something good for them?

 

"Did they say why, Willard? Why they voted for me?"
"They said they think you will bring down prices, sir."
"That's no longer relevant, is it?"
"No sir, it is not. You have accomplished your objective."
"Willard, Right to Try. Everybody know about Right to Try. We did things that nobody ever thought possible. We took care of our vets, our vets. The VA now has the highest rating, 91%. The highest rating that it's had from the beginning, 91% approval rating. Always, you watch the VA, it was on television every night, people living in a horrible, horrible manner. We got that done. We got accountability done. We got it so that now in the VA, you don't have to wait for four weeks, six weeks, eight weeks, four months to see a doctor. If you can't get a doctor, you go outside, you get the doctor. You have it taken care of and we pay the doctor. And we've not only made life wonderful for so many people, we've saved tremendous amounts of money, far secondarily, but we've saved a lot of money. And now we have the right to fire bad people in the VA. We had 9,000 people that treated our veterans horribly. In primetime, they would not have treated our veterans badly. But they treated our veterans horribly. And we have what's called the account, VA Accountability Act. And the accountability says if we see somebody in there that doesn't treat our vets well or they steal, they rob, they do things badly, we say: "Joe you're fired. Get out of here." Before you couldn't do that. You couldn't do that before. So we've taken care of things, we've done things like nobody's ever thought possible. And that's part of the reason that many people don't like us, because we've done too much."

 

Heartwarming.

"He turned out to be a brave man": Putin congratulates Trump on election win

No way this is true

 

Trash me all you want, but no amount of sorrow or worry or “grieving” will solve what happened Tuesday night. It won’t protect you or your loved ones. I’m sad and upset, too. I’m affected by the same things that affect you. The only thing you can do is put it behind you, adapt and move on.

We lost for a reason — or several reasons. Point your energy into not letting it happen again.

 

Seemed like??

 

Of course it's really happening. Did Trump voters think it wasn't going to?

That article gets worse as it goes on.

 

Reminds me of Justice Blackmun's written opinion, IIRC ... an American woman is entitled to liberty.

 

The country is sitting at 2 percent inflation, which was the Fed's targeted rate. The inflation argument is simply not a current one.

 

Woodstein needs to go away. They chased and caught the green for years. What's next, an interview with the late, mumbling Hank Kissinger?
