Joe Biden Presidency thread *Please read OP - Threadbanned Users Added 4/5/21*

You complain about being generalized, while doing the work yourself to generalize "most posters here."

You misunderstand, what expectation do you have on someone else to constantly be changing their mind left and right? We're talking about being consistent, or explaining why we aren't.

Fixation on Pelosi's age is oversized and fails to pass muster in full view of Congressional realities: Rep. Don Young died this week while running for his 26th term in office. He was 88 years old, 7 years older than Pelosi, and no Republican ever raised one idle lily f*ck about the man's age, they just kept voting him in, hurah hurah hurah. If someone really is more concerned with the "gerontocracy" than they are with Nancy Pelosi, then they need to stop holding up Nancy Pelosi as their tent pole, and use Diane Feinstein, or Chuck Grassley, or Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Better yet, don't McBlame any names at all, since there's a bunch of politically elected and appointed officials across the spectrum in these age ranges being raised as a concern.

Fixation on the "performance" of VPs is bullshit. What do VPs produce? Really though. Without having to have a good McGoogle for it, I couldn't even tell you what each VP has 'accomplished' in office, other than taking over the Presidency for surgery or something. The role of the VP is being comically overblown in increasingly absurd ways to avoid discussing her gender or race imho. Nobody gave a **** about Pence's approval rating either, or Biden's when he was VP, they showed up to stupid photo ops, did stupid things, and went to go eat and **** on the dole while they played on-call backup dancer for 4 year terms. Media always made fun of them, the end.

Gaslighting, is it? Couldn't find your evidence, the end.

Guess not. Hitchens Razor.

That opinion piece by Murray was creepy misogynism is all. Laughable that it got published, frankly.

Agree on retirement ages for Congress and Senate. Maybe some sort of term limits, too.

Why are you here, apart from to derail the thread with nonsense?

This is just mental.

Livestream of SCOTUS Confirmation for Jackson .... day one.... of four.

Jackson would have one of the most seasoned careers on the bench, if confirmed.

GOP seems to be using a lot of its key opening time to relitigate old sour grapes (rich, given Garland).

Can't shake the Django Unchained vibes Graham exudes in his opening speech, either. Complains about political money ('speech') spent on Jackson's nomination, didnt GAF about Kavanaugh's debts being paid off by who, exactly? He actually gets himself very worked up, and keeps slapping his desk, reminiscent of the Holy Cow Indignation routine Jim Jordan does.

While GOP spends their time trying to make the confirmation about a retaliation over Kavanaugh's hearing etc. we keep getting fun facts from the Dems - like the fact she was already confirmed by the Senate 3 times:

Marsha Blackburn throwing everything at Judge Jackson in her opening statement: Radical Left, Pedophiles, Critical Race Theory, corrupting kids and then congratulates her on her nomination 😂

This man tried to smear OSHA as a "relatively obscure agency designed to regulate things like ladder safety on construction sites"

Even the conservative, hard working Americans listening at home or from work must be wondering "the f*ck is he playing at?"

Edit: Sen. Cotton (R-AK)

His broad remarks are demagoguery and fearmongering, Kids are scared of CRT, damn liberal judges giving equal access to due process for presumed-criminals, etc.

edit 2: Sasse has never had a working class job in his life, apparently

I guess OSHA feels relatively obscure if the least safe thing you do at the law firm is leave the parking lot at night.
