US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[Absolutego]

Tell me more of the ancient times village elder! Was it like how they said? That salt would rain from the skies in bountiful harvest?

Real talk: what happened to it? I'm guessing it caused to much polarization in the forums?

Worse. Sticker autism and it became a pain in the ass to moderate.
This was around the same period where Null got so sick of politisperging he banned current events discussion sitewide for a few months.
So, word of warning to all the post-2020 users ITT obsessed with poking the bear because said bear isn't a fan of Orange Man.

Their polling average aggregates all the different polls to try smoothing out their individual biases. It's undergrad-level statistics, and it works.

Yeah but other sites do the same and it's either a 50/50 or I have seen like two others call it for Trump.

hallo moony my old fren
you've come to fill my screen again

 

[he who has thus come/gone]

he wasn't restrained, he just didn't fucking do it, because those things would actually harm the system.

Something interesting Trump said on the Rogan interview is that when he was elected, he then had to figure out how to staff the administration. These are thousands of appointments that you need to fill in quickly. When you're not in politics your entire life, you're hamstrung and have to basically choose the people who have been vetted by being in DC politics for many years, and are given a list of appointments by the political insiders (gay RNC types, especially in 2016 when it was still basically Jeb Bush's party) who have glommed onto your campaign. This was not a good move, because it resulted in so many agenda items not being pursued diligently.

This makes complete sense. If I tried to open a data center, with no networking or tech or real business experience, I would have to go through established, institutional channels to hire people who can run a data center and know the business side of that industry. If every channel that could provide those people are corrupted, then I'll either end up with a corrupted workforce running my data center or with people who are more interested in taking advantage of my ignorant zeal than in pursuing my goals diligently. You can do this with any industry—opening a car dealership, opening a hotel, opening a restaurant, opening a silver mine, etc.

This doesn't excuse some things Trump didn't do, e.g. anything involving his pardon power. But we can be realistic about how reality works and why a non-political outsider (who maybe didn't even think he would win the 2016 election) would end up staffing his administration with a ton of DC creatures who didn't actually want to pursue Trump's agenda.

This thread should get a [PLAGUED] tag for the next 72 hours. It feels like a fucking mosh pit in here.

I am concerned about what happens next with DeSantis term limited though. It is going to require one based MF to keep things from backsliding.

thats true, I think DeSantis might be an option in 2028 if Vance doesn't decide to run, as far as the Governorship of Florida goes, hopefully it stays with a DeSantis-like Republican

RCP is by far the biggest and the only one I know of who does so without trying to tilt the numbers.

Double HArris-ing sounds like the guy is sucking two cocks at once. [Me looking closer] Pic checks out.

US politics is so insane. To think that P'Nut the squirrel may possibly effect the election to a degree is one minor thing, but more seriously, Elon Musk. All off the Babylon Bee getting banned for a bit of satire, he goes all in to buy Twitter away from that bullshit and lessen the leftwing censorship., and then further, comes out in full support for Trump, and apparently getting Rogan to change his thinking. Those might be what sways the election.

Whoever was responsible for banning the Bee a few years ago may have (hopefully) fucked their "side" politically in a major way.

Trumpers really hate Desantis so I doubt it.

So what's the prediction we get Horrible niggerette as new President? 50:50? Or will it be Orange man bad all over again?

 

[ZMOT]

There wouldn't be a civil war even if the Dems just came completely kippah off and declared no elections ever again. The average conservative gun owner just doesn't have the balls to fire on US military personnel when it comes down to it. He might talk a big game, but he knows, if he does it, he is going to die.

that's why boogaloos happen when people don't care anymore, not earlier.
the smart move is to *not (edit: I'm retarded) let get it this far via bread & circuses. romans figured that 2000 years ago (didn't help them in the long run tho)

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

Holy shit, are people still arguing with Null?

Guys, please stop. I do not want this thread, and any future US politics threads, to get nuked.

Against the wishes of Desantis no less.

While y'all were razzing Josh for being gay on his own site, some bomb threats came in to Fulton County, Georgia:

he wasn't restrained, he just didn't fucking do it, because those things would actually harm the system. The system has to facially care about the constitution so they can't outright censor things, which is why they use businesses that are de facto monopolies to do it.

I said it once I'll say it again, the man didn't want to be president. He thought he could lose to Hillary and ride that free publicity to a new tv station/ hotel. However once he won he either did nothing impactful (executive orders don't count because they can be easily over turned) or delegated EVERYTHING to someone else. He turned into a puppet of the Republican party and when he lost in 2020 for fucking up covid he got but hurt and vindictive and couldn't accept the loss.

So what's the prediction we get Horrible niggerette as new President? 50:50? Or will it be Orange man bad all over again?

All the analysts are saying 50/50, except for Alan Litchman. The magic keys he keeps under his hairpiece are telling him total MAGA death.

We shall see.
