The Biden Administration and All Things Politics

This won’t get as many clicks as republicans claiming school librarians are teaching CRT to kindergarten kids during drag Queen story hour or some Republican Governor threatening Disney or some MTG posing with a machine gun, but this seems important for those of us who care about real substantive issues

 

One of the tough things if they choose to do away with social security, is then I want my ****ing money back. How much debt will they need to incur to pay all of us back for the money we have been forced to pay into the system we will never see? And then we would literally be the only truly developed nation with NOTHING to take care of our aging population in any way. I guess that is some kind of accomplishment? ****ing morons.
 
I thought this was an insightful article. Republicans are great at grabbing headlines and calling attention to themselves but they’re terrible at connecting with and connecting to normal people due to them being increasingly out of touch with the mainstream. Playing so often for the Fox News rube crowd may get you clicks and attention but it just doesn’t make you very likable outside of the RW paranoid rube demo.

 

‘The Southern States Were Right’: Andrew Cuomo Rips Into Biden Over Border Crisis​


 
Another massive layoff under Biden... Jobs though.

Disney will undergo its third restructuring in five years with a layoff of 7,000 employees in an attempt to make its streaming business profitable, according to a report by Reuters.

 
Local leaders claim human trafficking and prostitution are rampant in the Golden State after a new criminal justice reform that its author said aims to protect transgender women from being unfairly targeted by law enforcement.

"It’s absolutely out of control and dangerous — not just for the sex workers but for the community," San Francisco Supervisor Hillary Ronen told the San Francisco Chronicle this week.

A road in the heart of San Francisco’s Mission District has become lined with prostitutes and pimps, prompting city officials to install barricades as residents sound off that not only do they feel less safe – especially at night – but that they are worried about the women working the streets.

"From the window right there, I’ll see three [people] ganging up on a girl," one San Francisco resident told the Chronicle while pointing toward a bay window that overlooks an intersection. "They’ll be hitting her."

 

Did Biden give the order to destroy Putin's Nord Stream pipeline after Ukraine invasion? Bombshell report claims Navy divers carried out mission to kill Russia's gas stranglehold on Europe in audacious mission overseen by president​

Specialized U.S. Navy diving teams carried out the bombing attack against the underwater Nord Stream pipelines which supply Russian gas to western Europe during a top secret mission overseen by President Joe Biden, a bombshell report claims.

Divers planted C4 explosives on three Nord Stream pipelines in June 2022 which were detonated three months later using a sonar buoy which broadcast a signal that triggered the bombs, according to the report.

The attack was carried out in response to Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine and designed to force Germany and other European nations to end their reliance on Russian gas, it is claimed. The move would also disrupt Moscow's income from gas sales - which have contributed billions of dollars to its war effort.

Right! As imperfect as social security is, what's the alternative? I'd by far rather have an imperfect social security system than what we had before. At the end of the day, I'd rather have social security than die in the streets.

This entire situation reminds me of the debates over repealing the ACA and of the post-Roe world. Republicans never came up with alternatives for both. There was never any alternative plan (I know I know, just give Trump 2 more weeks I know). Women in red states now are ****ed if they're impregnated. Red states haven't made men more accountable nor have they improved education, health care, or social safety nets to support single women and young families.
  • Have pre-existing conditions? You're ****ed
  • Get pregnant? You're ****ed.
  • Retirement didn't work out as planned? You're ****ed.
Is this really the best we can do?
 
Interest in President Joe Biden's State of the Union address dwindled Tuesday night as the annual event pulled the second-smallest audience in at least 30 years, according to a Wednesday report by the Nielsen company.

The report said an estimated 27.3 million people tuned into a television network for the president's address, which was down nearly 28% from the 38.2 million who watched last year.
