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

 

[thx1138]

Well, I suppose Hamilton would be proven right in his idea that the US would have an aristocracy, but I think he'd tear out some throats seeing our "aristocrats" if he rose from the grave.

lol no he wouldn't he'd drop some sick rap beats and breakdance for everyone, that's what modern history has told me; also he'd totally put in some rhymes about how important it is to wear a mask and have six experimental RNA injections and also obey the government.

Although, you've probably met your fair share of dum-dums in your IT department.

On the one hand, I kinda respect the chutzpah on this 4channer. On the other, if he were in my department, I'd either straight up quit, or be in (video game) jail for murder(ing his Pokemon).

So basically what I'm getting is that we're now stuck in a cycle of Biden says or reportedly says X, then immediately his PR team goes on the "Actually he said YZ" or "No he didn't say X" gaslight warpath, especially now regarding what looks like Cold War 2: Electric Boogaloo?

Also, can we have our little American flag circle next to the thread title? I think we should also change the subtitle to "The Ice Cream Parlor" or "The Ice Cream Club." Just my 2 cents.

29th House Dem has announced he's not running this year. His district is almost certain to get erased by the Republicans in Tennessee so not a real shock he's out of the game.

This is pretty interesting. Tennessee is just about to approve their redistricting map, which will make Nashville into three different districts. It's being challenged for breaking up the black vote, and it looks like it's already working to cut Nashville Ds out.

Student debt should not exist, because universities should not be profit-driven clearing houses for the useless and the lazy.

Getting rid of free-to-make student loans is one side of the equation, and the other side is putting universities on the hook to prove the usefulness of their "services." Until we have a serious discussion about the vicious cycle of banks and universities making money off people they know will never make any, there isn't going to be any reform or forgiveness, and there shouldn't be. And it screws people who worked hard to pay off their tuition through scholarships, making money BEFORE going, or working off their debt after the fact. I knew my degree wasn't going to land me a big payday, so I made sure that it didn't cost me a dime through academic scholarships and stipends. If you're not bilking the universities instead of letting them bilk you, I don't even know what to say. I don't know how anyone can look at the price tag of private colleges and not have serious doubts about how they're going to pay for it. I do think the unis/banks/federal loans are predatory, but I don't understand how self-preservation doesn't kick in and make people restrategize. I guess the economy was just too good for too long and people can't think ahead anymore.

I'd be in favor of making student aid dependent on work service. Universities need free labor, or the government needs student doctors in rural areas. That is a way of "proving" the value to the lenders and to the community and to yourself, so ideally I'd like it to be tied to that, a sort of interim apprenticeship program that would even apply to art degrees, and after a few years, you're free to start your own practice or get another job. There are plenty of opportunities for this already, but if it were the only way to get assistance, the need to WORK to PAY would be more obvious to 18-year-olds and stop them from making a bad decision. Hammer it in.

From Kyle rittenhouse derangement syndrome that is unironically basedView attachment 2926993

In a non pozzed country the armed forces would be falling over themselves to recruit Rittenhouse. He fired three rounds and got two kills and a disabling wound and he did this falling backwards and under duress.

That's astonishing accuracy and trigger discipline for someone with no training. With the proper training he could be special forces material.

It sure does

 

[Kuritan Deplorable]

Yes, 100% agree. I dunno how you wouldn't at least have some knowledge of troubleshooting common issues after getting certs. Even if you don't know the solution to a problem, that's what search engines are for. Although, you've probably met your fair share of dum-dums in your IT department.

Also this. Would not have gotten the current job I had were it not for my 6 month internship.

Every Pajeet I've worked with, bar none, has absolutely no fucking troubleshooting skills, and are the biggest idiots. All with stacks of legitimate certifications.

I want you to imagine getting a room of senior leaders together to try and explain to them why reproduction instructions and confirming there is actually an issue are important, before escalating a ticket from tier one to tier two support. Every pajeet in the room looked like I'd just told them some eldritch secret, and the IT director was looking at them with a look of pure horror and disgust at the fact they needed to be told this by a developer. Guess they're stuck with the contract for a while yet.

And I got here off the back of a Technical Institute, no comp sci shenanigans for me, proper software development program. On the "we got useful degrees and didn't get work" line, I think a lot of people misunderstand the degree they're actually getting. A lot of the degrees are on the theoretical and research side of things, even if you don't run down the full PhD route. I've encountered far too many Comp Sci graduates who've never written any sort of user interface code before, or handoffs. Sure, they can optimize a 24 thread load split perfectly and describe exactly how a scheduler works, but ask them to deal with anything that's not an old and now solved theory problem, and they're dead weight.

Education needs to focus more on actual employer-useful skills. I don't need another coworker who knows theory, I need a coworker who's practically applied UX design before. And those degrees do exist, just not at universities, in my observation.

I wonder if the student loan forgiveness is also going to come with changes to the rules to allow for the loan cancellation amounts not being treated as ordinary income, because the present rules only allow for that under certain circumstances. If they don't, then a lot of people are going to have an eye-opening experience with six-figure income tax rates.

This would be actively glorious, you'd be able to see the right wing conversion occurring from orbit.

Naw, it was at least 7 rounds, he put four of them into the Pedo, if I remember the wounds correctly, and missed Jump Kick man by fractions of an inch. 6/7 shots hits is a better ratio and I hope Jump Kick Man bought a lottery ticket, because he had the devil's own luck.

A friend of mine was saying funny enough that if he was in charge he'll recruit Rittenhouse as well, for the simple reason that he witnessed first hand that when pushed into a corner Kyle will shoot to kill.

The original idea of the college grad was to get a fully trained employee without paying the cost of having the business train them. So, businesses figured they didn't have to pay the time and money for in-house training. Which was a terrible, terrible mistake.

Bidens phonecall with Ukraine did not go well. How surprising the call about the crisis that Biden created did not go well.

https://archive.is/eZj8V

Remember when Trump was always alienating allies and causing wars due to his careless speech?
Here is Biden going fill retard with his doomerism and also telling them that "we will not send any troops to help you".

...
Mr Biden reportedly warned that the Ukrainian capital Kiev could be “sacked” by Russian forces, that Ukraine would not be getting help in the form of US troops or sophisticated weapons, and to “prepare for impact”.

In response, Mr Zelensky reportedly urged his counterpart to “calm down the messaging”.

Joe Biden tells Ukraine to ‘prepare for impact’

Joe Biden has reportedly told his Ukrainian counterpart to “prepare for impact” of a near-certain Russian invasion, prompting pushback during a “long and frank” phone call that “did not go well”.

Hey the new rule is that they have to release this transcript, and the opposition party gets to modify it to make Biden look worse, right?

I mean that's what they did to Trump, so, that's the rule, right?

Smart, they know that they shouldn't be wasting more time.

Please, please leak the phone call...

I'd be surprised if it leaks, unless it's from the Ukranian side.

Most leaks like that are for making your political enemies look bad.

I'm tired of these fucking apes complaining about district maps being gerrymandered when Illinois, Oregon and New York are doing the same thing.

That is what I am hoping for especially the White House already gaslighting the discussion of the phone call.

September 11? That was a long time ago, come on maaaaaaaaaan!
We now know of one case where the government caught a person who's flagged on the terror watch list, only to release him into the interior, his family in tow.
