Ah well nevermind then about trying to ram it through before the primaries. Why the fuck would Klain leak it this early if they can't do anything about it for five months, minimum?

I don't think Ron Klain is the mastermind the establishment thinks he is. Or if he was he is clearly not got it anymore. Unless unraveling Biden's administration is actually his goal.

He is the mastermind, the problem is that he is also a total ideologue. He is making increasingly irrational decisions as reality hits him again and again but his ideology does not let him see the core issues.

forgive me if you already talked about this but what do you about all the Dems gerrymandering as of late? Do you think it will be enough to retain the house?

Update on Florida since thr question popped about redistricting, and Florida is predominantly Republican: Ron is holding strong about his gerrymander to be 21R-7D because New York did it so why can't he? He is trying hard to tard wrangle the Talahassee RINOs to not cuck.

And what is the core issue his ideology stops him from seeing?
 
I like how the resident jannies (both actual and spiritual) screamed, cried, and pissed/shit themselves to get all the Joe Biden threads in one place, then later when these threads become a long record of their lord and masters failings petitioned to shut it down.

I and @JohnDoe suspect that it was an attempt to pressure him into retiring early.

Yep. I'm not sure if he was considering retirement at all, or a few years from now, but it seems that Biden's handlers decided to try accelerating that timetable.

That the goals he seeks require something more complicated that just his desire. He's got such a simplistic understanding that he never got past "force Breyer to retire, place new liberal tool" in his thinking.

I dunno, if it's some sort of peaceful honkening like Canadian truckers or nationwide campaigns to shit on the doorsteps of journalists and politicians (who want to legalize street shitting as in San Francisco) then I doubt he'd care.

If you're organizing autistic shut-ins to wave Nazi flags with fresh creases on them then you'd probably get a halal thread for your troubles.
 
The number one rule of Kiwi Farms is “watch and laugh, do not touch”. Nothing you could possibly do is worth making a fool of yourself.

If you want to go do some shit, fine. But don’t get the Farms involved alongside you.

If this happens, Ottawa will look like an empty parking lot in a strip mall.

Took the clip from the tweet in the article as it's quite the contrast within the context of Biden. Breyer is 83, Biden is 79. Biden is mentally 89 at least.
Breyer doesn't say anything too exciting, just the usual "America is an experiment" stuff.

Back when I was in the Dem activist circuit, the one thing that always floored me was just how much common ground we had when we ran into our counterparts on the right. We would sometimes run into them while canvassing, and more often than not, we'd wind up swapping stories and laughing with one another at the Dunkin Donuts or something when we all were done. It was only then we both found out who we were working for, we had a solid laugh over it, and we counted it as a learning experience. Most of the time, we agreed on fundamental things, but differed in how best to address them.

That's actually one of the biggest advantages the right has, and many are too bitter to realize it - that there's tons they could find common cause in with their counterparts. Think of how often, in this very thread, you've seen people tar the entire left with the exact same brush, even though the elements pushing the most egregious shit in it are about as representative of how the left's voterbase actually feels as Youtube Rewind was of Youtube's viewerbase. On one hand, I can't blame them for it, the establishment sets the pattern and all the Autistic hard-lefties follow the marching orders. We all know how it is.

At the local level, you have much more in common with more conventional Lefties than you think, and given time, you can and will find a lot of common cause with them. The hard left is fucking terrified of this prospect, because if there's one thing they will never have, it's numbers. They're fringe, and while they'll act otherwise, they know it's the case. This is why every single effort is made to divide things, to pit people against one another, to force people to paint in broad strokes, when a finer hand is often needed.

This is so true. IRL and in person when people talk to each other, you see commonalities. That's why they not only want to divide you, they want to isolate you so you're only getting your information from "trusted" sources. You can find prime examples of this among the elderly who are mostly or completely housebound or in a facility. Their worlds are very, very small, but they don't understand how small because they're getting input from the TV and internet--curated input. Back in the day you used to get your worldview from your family, coworkers, religious community, the neighborhood bar/general store, etc. Now everyone talks to each other through technology. It's a false sense of reality, and notice the push for the metaverse now. It's not accidental.

Also, just in general I wanted to touch on Glubb cycles, because I know I bring them up and I didn't get a chance to comment on the last discussion before the thread was closed and the drama happened. At its core a Glubb cycle is just an acknowledgement that cycles apply in government just like they generally do to history. History doesn't repeat so much as it rhymes and what the Glubb Cycle is charting is just, under all of it, how a people change over the course of 10-14 generations to something that is no longer a good fit for the style of government you started with. The Constitution is a fine government document for the Americans of the late 18th Century, but it's no longer governing those Americans and something has to give. Much like the Roman Republic worked when it was government purely Romans and started breaking down as the people it governed became less Roman. It's a guideline, not a hard and fast rule, and just because you slam face first into the end of one doesn't mean the end of a nation, but often just slipping from the position of biggest dog.

I'd say additionally it broke down when it 1) got too big to govern efficiently and 2) weak, ineffective, and immoral leadership. That's what we're seeing now in America. I don't believe you can legislate morality, however if the people who are governing are adversarial to their own constituents, there's a huge problem.

Maybe I'm remembering it wrong (or mixing it up with something else) but I thought the antichrist was supposed to be charismatic, Biden has never had any, even before his brain turned to pudding he was known for being stupid, spiteful, and that comb over.
Click to expand...
You're right. The end times anti-christ will be charismatic and intelligent enough to unite the world into One World Religion (anti-Christian) and One World Order. For that to happen the world has to devolve into enough chaos that people are willing to follow one individual without question. There also has to be a falling away (the great apostasy) and an infiltration into the Christian church (both liturgical and protestant) so that resistance against the anti-christ, while not impossible, is futile. That's when Jesus returns to set the world back to the way it was intended to be, before the fall of man in the Garden of Eden.

As a dovetail to my reply to Jamais, we can see the groundwork for this now. The world has never been so interconnected and so individually isolated at the same time. There's also apostasy occurring at an alarming rate--just look at the current pope, who rarely mentions Jesus but can't stop talking about social justice and humanism. Satan's entire MO since the garden is to bring as many humans to hell with him as he can before Jesus's return. This isn't doomerism, it's the spiritual battle being fought since the beginning. It ends one way--Jesus and those that believe in him, win.

I'm still hoping that the journoscum and activists keep harassing him until the end of his term with so much much obnoxious bullshit about him being a White male that it finally activates his Angry Old Man mode and he says "Fuck you whippersnappers trying to replace me, you'll have to drag my moth-eaten corpse off this bench!" and rescinds his planned retirement. Just imagining the amount of seething that would cause makes me snicker uncontrollably.
 
How desperate can they get?

Biden aims to reduce cancer deaths by 50% over next 25 years​

https://apnews.com/article/coronavi...nion-address-122f2d0782a30d7cf766f2892fc5962a (https://archive.ph/8O86S)

President Joe Biden is committing to reduce the cancer death rate by 50% — a new goal for the “moonshot” initiative against the disease that was announced in 2016 when he was vice president.

Biden has set a 25-year timeline for achieving that goal, part of his broader effort to end cancer as we know it, according to senior administration officials who previewed Wednesday’s announcement on the condition of anonymity.

The issue is deeply personal for Biden: He lost his elder son, Beau, to brain cancer in 2015.

The pain experienced by the president is shared by many Americans. The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be 1,918,030 new cancer cases and 609,360 cancer deaths this year. What Biden is aiming to do is essentially save more than 300,000 lives annually from the disease, something the administration believes is possible because the age-adjusted death rate has already fallen by roughly 25% over the past two decades.

Biden was scheduled to give remarks Wednesday from the East Room of the White House, along with his wife, Jill, and Vice President Kamala Harris. Also scheduled to attend the speech: members of Congress and the administration and about 100 members of the cancer community including patients, survivors, caregivers, families, advocacy groups and research organizations.

As part of the effort, Biden will assemble a “cancer Cabinet” that includes 18 federal departments, agencies and offices, including leaders from the Departments of Health and Human Services, Veterans Affairs, Defense, Energy and Agriculture.

There were no plans to announce new funding commitments on Wednesday, though the administration will outline why it believes it can curb cancer through efforts such as increased screening and removing inequities in treatment. The coronavirus pandemic has consumed health care resources and caused people to miss more than 9.5 million cancer screenings.

The White House also will host a summit on the cancer initiative and continue a roundtable discussion series on the subject. The goal is to improve the quality of treatment and people’s lives, something with deep economic resonance as well. The National Cancer Institute reported in October that the economic burden of treatment was more than $21 billion in 2019, including $16.22 billion in patient out-of-pocket costs.

President Barack Obama announced the cancer program during his final full year in office and secured $1.8 billion over seven years to fund research. Obama designated Biden, then his vice president, as “mission control,” a recognition of Biden’s grief as a parent and desire to do something about it. Biden wrote in his memoir “Promise Me, Dad” that he chose not to run for president in 2016 primarily because of Beau’s death.

When Biden announced he wasn’t seeking the Democratic nomination in 2016, he said he regretted not being president because “I would have wanted to have been the president who ended cancer, because it’s possible.”

The effort fell somewhat out of the public focus when Donald Trump became president, though Trump, a Republican, proposed $500 million over 10 years for pediatric cancer research in his 2019 State of the Union address.

Biden continued the work as a private citizen by establishing the Biden Cancer Initiative to help organize resources to improve cancer care. When Biden did seek the presidency in 2020, he had tears in his eyes as he said in an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that “Beau should be running for president, not me.”

Do you cretins not understand how grateful you are to only have the jobs report be off by 500,000? This is worth no mean tweets!
