President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

People out here in the sticks think you get gunned down the second you exit the Southshore doors in Chicago.

I once said to the guy on my assembly line who expressed shock I’d ever go into a city: “Yep, right in front of the Shake Shack. That’s where they get you.”

 

Funny, there haven't been any, or even any attempts. Also, the Federal Protective Service personnel for the justices are still on the job. Just the usual wingnut grandiosity/paranoia deal.

 

You know if every single one of THOSE dudes served, Russia and China would never dare threaten the USA!!!

 

Watched 45 minutes of FetterOz ... that stroke musta been pretty fucking harsh.

But Team Fetterman will double down on social media and TV and Oz will keep stepping in the muck.

Fetterman will win. But Oz could win too*.

* hedge of the day

 

They actually gave odds on Bernie Sanders? I swear, five years after the man dies, there will still be Bernie Bros arguing that he should be on the ballot. Let it go already.

 

I had to check and see if this was a Starman post.

The tough guys with guns who fear big cities always crack me up. These are Manly Men(TM) who are Very Brave. So brave that they’ll even attempt spec ops-type raids to kidnap a governor. Can’t they defend themselves? Why do black people scare them that much? Perhaps they got booted from MEAL Team Six.

 

As Dave Barry would say, no I am not making this up.

 

You know I believe John Fetterman's a better answer than Mehmet Oz.

But you know there are thousands, millions of people who don't think as deeply about this as they should. And you know last night was the point-in-time moment in which they were going to pass judgment on John Fetterman. And you know they believe that's John Fetterman's acuity at 30, 40, 50 and 60.

Watch the poll numbers. Last night did not help Fetterman in the least.

 

The "I got up" line was good and is usable.

But Fetterman'll have to win with the women.

"ROE V. WADE!" was blunt and strong and Oz fucked himself by saying it's between a woman, her doctor and politicians.

That's Fetterman's river card for an inside straight and he better play it like a boss for the next 2 weeks.

 

I was accosted by a guy on a downtown Chicago subway platform in 2018. I was taking cellphone pictures and he demanded I delete them because he was in one. It was a scary moment.
