President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Anti-elitism! Populism! What a g*ddamn joke.

Trump names fossil fuel executive Chris Wright as energy secretary

 

I’ve often wondered what the country’s reaction would have been on Jan. 6 if Pence had actually been kidnapped and killed.

Would that have been the thing that woke the country up? Or would the country just tsk tsk and worry about egg prices and the few dozen transgender athletes in female sports.

 

We ask for something to wake the country up.

Folks, we are the ones who need to wake up.

These people have been telling us who they are, what they support and what they want to do FOR YEARS.

Believe them. And don't believe for a second any of them will think any of it is actually bad or will suffer blame. The cabinet picks, policies and everything else are exactly what they want. Own the libs!

Believe them, goddammit. This is who the country actually is.

 

I also don’t get the people who threaten to move or dream about moving to whatever other country. The USA is the Death Star altering the orbit of everything else in the sky. Whatever your imagined happy place is, America can ruin it with a Thanos snap if it so chooses.

 

At the store, we're in the midst of our holiday fund-raiser for the local food bank. Ask for a $10 donation or you have options for less or more at the PIN pad. Some do, most don't or make it a point to say they give through their church, individually, etc. Whatever. Then there was the guy who told me he'd give when inflation returned to 2020 levels. Just be quiet and don't tell him what an ass he's being.
