Drill Baby Drill...the US Politics Thread (Part 2)

The air traffic controller voted democrat/grew up in a state with a democratic governor/was woke/LGBTQIA+/believed in vaccination/listened to Taylor Swift. The problem was sleepy Joe Biden allowed this to happen

As the leader of a broken minority party desperately in need of a convincing platform, an agenda, and the next generation of leaders, he has plenty to do. If he is going to mail in the next 4 years after going on about Trump being a threat to democracy, he should resign.

If we want to be truly progressive then its about time someone mentions to politicians that God isnā€™t real and even it was real then its pretty clear they hate us.

In the House, his actual thinking has to be a lot more tactical. The Congress lasts two years, his job is actually to make sure that Congress is as useless as it can possibly be for that time, without taking the blame for it.

Predictably enough, Trump is raging at the Fed for not doing what he wants (lower interest rates) with their decision to hold their rate steady. However, his line of attack is simply moronic - failing ā€œto stop the problem they created with Inflationā€.

If they were tackling inflation, they would increase interest rates. It is the most basic macroeconomic relationship there is.

Important clarification here from Trumpā€™s totally qualified DoT head, who is having to step into the FAA role given their director was encouraged to resign on day 1 of this administration - it is not normal for aircarft to collide

Great that we got that cleared up. Dont worry. The pros are on this.

The thing that really stands out to me here is the level of understanding revealed by the language.

I am not joking, and I am aware my point has been made thousands of times on this forum aloneā€¦this is a question I would expect my 6-year old to ask. He is so fucking stupid it is painful. He understands this event on the same level as a child who thinks it is funny when I ask him to pull my finger.

And ending with ā€˜NOT GOOD!!!ā€™

I mean, seriouslyā€¦

WTAF?

Itā€™s his empathy-deficitā€¦he has no human emotions. Very likely he tortured animals as a child.

You should have seen his face the first time I did it.

The caveman who first discovered fire? Same look.

Ī™f this idiot hadnā€™t been born with a silver spoon in his mouth, heā€™d be eating from the gutter.
Instead, heā€™s running the most powerful country in the world into the ground.

Sorry @Livvy

I canā€™t stop laughing.

Someone start a poll asking what it is they think Livvy saw.

Thatā€™s not really his job. And the Dems are already paying the price for a useless Congress. His job is to present an agenda and message, which AOC and Bernie at least seem to be attempting instead of leaving it up to a divine being. And letā€™s even say it is his job to do nothing, why tweet it when his party is already bleeding progressive support?
