President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

"Politics is the art of taking money from the rich and votes from the poor by promising to protect each one from the other." -- Sen. Matthew Quay (R-Pa.) who served from 1887-1899

 

--A Dem majority Senate confirmed a replacement....in an election year

 

Every day, a prominent Republican embarrasses America. Every. Fucking. Day.

 

Why should anybody obey any laws? What is left of our system of law and order? Doesn't seem like a whole hell of a lot to me.

 

I'm pretty sure the current Press Secretary didn't do that, either.

 

Pretty much this is exactly what I expected to happen. By the time I could vote in a primary it was down to Biden or Bernie, and no fucking way was Bernie winning a general election. So I voted for Biden knowing that he was too much of a milquetoast institutionalist to pull off the big actions needed to save America and that it was just delaying the utter collapse by four years at best. I think I need to remind myself of that and just enjoy the next three years before the collapse.

I can't hit like on that but in great part I agree. I can't think of anyone on the Dem's bench that has the charisma, strength of character, and the spine to avert the coming train wreck.
