President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

I believe in the Fatfuck-stole-billions-in-cash theory simply BECAUSE it is so fucking stupid and moronic, it is precisely the kind of idiotic scheme he'd love:
"Mnuchin is the money man
I am the boss of the money man
Therefore I will tell him to print me money
Nobody can tell me not to."


Not to mention the very idea of having huge duffel bags of cash lying around his bedroom: wouldn't that just kick ass?

 

At what point can we finally strap Kushner down and waterboard him until he tells America what he sold the Saudis for $2 billion?

I don't think next Tuesday would be too soon, how about you?

 

An absolute disaster.

Biden Faces Pressure on Immigration, and Not Just From Republicans

In Denver, more than 36,000 migrants have arrived in recent months, with 4,100 still in city shelters, and more are arriving daily. In Boston, migrants have camped out at the airport. In New York, more than 164,500 migrants have poured into shelters since April 2022, with many still living in one of the 215 hotels, converted office buildings or tent camps set up to accommodate them.

“It’s both a humanitarian and fiscal crisis,” said Mike Johnston, the Democratic mayor of Denver. “We aren’t going to sit by and watch moms and 6-month-olds in tents on the streets in 10-degree weather. But by refusing to do that we are on the path to spend $180 million next year and could not do that either.”

“As mayors we are so frustrated,” he added, noting that many of the migrants arriving in his city must wait for months before they can work legally in the United States. “This is actually a solvable problem, if we had work authorization, federal dollars and a coordinated entry plan.”

The flood of migrants into the big cities has been anything but coordinated.

Most have arrived, unannounced, on buses or planes sent by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who argues that cities far from the border should get a taste of the flood of migrants in his state. Democratic mayors have lashed out at Mr. Abbott for what they say is a political stunt, using human beings as props.

So far, the stunt seems to have worked, by delivering the migrants — often without coats, or family members in the U.S. — to the cities far to the north.

 

Starman's a bit young to be having those kinds of troubles. He should probably see his doctor.

 

Trump had smart people in his orbit. Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon are smart guys.

 

In Texas it costs between $60 and $75 depending on the size of the vehicle.

In Arkansas it's only a $20 bill, but there's a catch: You also have to pay personal property tax on your vehicle, which varies based on local tax rates and vehicular assessed value.

 

Yes, The small, provincial capital of New York never saw this many people at once.

During the forty years it operated, Ellis Island saw more than 12 million immigrants pass through its gates, at a rate of up to 5,000 people a day.

Oh yes, I am sure Joe Biden is the cork in the ass of progress on this front.

 

Racist Republicans kidnap migrants and ship them to other places.
