President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

It's more that these are people who had gotten themselves banned by Twitter before Elon bought it, people who he allowed back on the platform - until they disagreed with him and started talking shit about him.

 

Of course not, but the more the MAGA movement fragments into hostile and competing factions the more difficult it will become to pass legislation. There are a lot of MAGAts who are beginning the Find Out stage of things, and fueling that fire is fine by me.

 

Name one piece of legislation passed in 2017-19, when Republicans had full control of Congress and the White House, other than tax cuts. They don’t care about legislating!

 

Sure - but you can bet that Trump has a laundry list of stuff he wants to get through Congress in his first hundred days and/or before the midterms.

If the wall that was never built didn't convince them, it will be the egg prices that don't go down.

 

This is going to sound stupid, but a tiny part of me worries if the openly bigoted faction gets brought to heel and acquiesces to the tech bro wing. That’s when you know fascism is full go. (Like we don’t already know.)

 

Nothing will shake some of these morons, but having Trump's billionaire cabinet call them names and actively and publicly call for them to be ignored will piss a bunch of them off.

There is no one so virtuous as a reformed whore.

 

He had a laundry list last time, written in crayon. One thing got accomplished.

These are not serious people.

 

So we need to throw out poor people working manual labor, because they’re taking American jobs. And we need to import other people, because there aren’t enough educated Americans to fill those jobs.

We also need fewer people going to college, because those are woke lib factories.

… and there are people who read these disconnected “concepts of a plan,” existing totally in conflict with each other, and say “That’s the party we need in charge!”

 

Maybe not, but they can do serious damage. Especially when a mega rich guy with a personal agenda and a plan is calling the shots from behind the scenes.

 

Especially when it's counter to what the front man says. But let them eat their young.
