President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

"I took a lot of heat but I told them we wouldn't protect them unless NATO pays two percent and the money started pouring in."

"Joe Biden said Ukraine could join NATO, and so Russia invaded."

He literally doesn't understand the issues. If you voted for him, you're stupid, you don't pay attention, or you don't understand the issues either.

 

The email lady was right.

 

The sentiment about Puerto Rico and D.C. is sound, but this ain't it, Guv.

 

"If the hostages aren't all back by the inauguration, all hell will break loose in the Middle East."

That should be the thing that drives down the price of eggs and gas.

 

I, for one, look forward to getting some of that free, publicly-funded healthcare like our fellow Americans in Greenland.

 

Probably not, given that the Post just had a long time cartoonist resign because her cartoon of Bezos, Zuck, (and another billionaire I don't remember) kneeling and offering up sacks of money to Trump got spiked.

 

I actually read about the Greenland thing. It's actually been something discussed in the US for more than 100 years, going back to Seward. It is seen as a very tactical point on the globe and the US has several military/space facilities there and there is increasing "interest" in the Arctic circle from the big powers. Maybe they figure with global warming there are opportunities to come.

Ao the first to invade a NATO country won't be Putin, it'll be us. Swell.

 

Time for some "Pentagon Papers" democracy.

Of course, it won't he the Washington Post doing the printing this time.

I’m now genuinely interested in how stupid the next four years will be. I’ve stopped stressing about it. What am I going to do? But it’s moved beyond that to grotesquely fascinating…way more so than the first term because now he’s clearly lost his mind.
