All purpose news and politics thread part VII: News & Politics Total Landscaping

[Wildling]

Jesse Watters, Tucker Carlson's replacement at Fox News, fantasized about Trump getting a work out and a prison body after going to jail.

I know conservatives love to detach themselves from reality but if Cadet Bone Spurs didn't become Punisher in Vietnam, he's not going to become the bodybuilder, full of tattoos types Bill and Ted became when sent to prison in their second movie. His only sport is golf, which you'd think would be the most ivory tower elite sport macho types would decry. Other than the Happy Gilmore Bob Barker fight I think dart throwing is cooler.

Even with his golfing, he uses the golf cart...even on the greens!

Another thing Biden has done for the country.

It's a shame people don't see how much he has done. I guess the Press might mention this between articles about him being old.

Good point. The folks who are financially struggling from the inflation are happy that evangelist Biden kept Amtrak running.

While I guess that the Feds and the state have presume innocence?

You do wonder if Illinois' politicians will ever look back at former Illinois politicians who have done time(or are doing time...), and will say to themselves "Nope. Gonna Keep My Nose Clean..."

Inflation in the US is under 3%. The US under Biden did better to curb inflation than most of the industrial countries. Inflation was Global.
Wages are up, over inflation and unemployment isxat a record low.

LOLOLOL...what a fuckin' joke.

Didn't Smith threaten to report her to some review board if she kept playing loose with the rules?

But Trump is the reigning, defending Golf Champion of Bedminster!

There's only one thing that will make inflation any lower. Guillotines.

Lop off a few billionaire heads and I'm pretty sure that prices will magically go down.

Downballot damage wrought by Republican extremism continues to manifest in the oddest places.

US President Joe Biden’s administration paused a shipment of weapons to Israel last week in opposition to apparent moves by the Israelis to invade the southern Gaza city of Rafah, a senior administration official has said.

[Zelena]

It's not hurt feelings. It's bigotry. If you protest a war in Israel by demonstrating at an unrelated event in another country, your problem isn't with Israel, it's with Jews.

You wouldn't protest China's human rights violations by demonstrating at a Lunar New Year celebration in New York.

I never said it was justified. I wanted to say it is not on the same level as people dying on a foreign land…

In court related matters, first in Manhattan:

Judge Warns Trump Attorney About Audible ‘Cursing’ As Stormy Daniels Testifies

“You need to speak to him," Judge Juan Merchan told the former president's attorney. "I won’t tolerate that.” Trump continues being an idiot and pushing his luck with Merchan.

Meanwhile, down in Florida....

Donald Trump's Classified Documents Trial Is Postponed Indefinitely

The federal judge in Florida who decided on the postponement is a Trump nominee. Show of hands if you're surprised. Thought as much.

[hyped78]

Absolutely.

We don’t protest against genocide and war crimes by trivializing or disrespecting other genocides and war crimes. And we certainly don’t go to an unrelated event and desecrate IT to draw attention to our cause.

That’s as stupid and self-defeating as throwing paint on classic art to protest climate change.

Are you calling for the surrender of Hamas as THE condition to end all of this and have a permanent ceasefire?

(I agree with what you wrote on your post, btw)

I could easily understand this “too old” stuff IF the alternative was an healthy person in their 30s/40’s. But compared to the Donald??

Plus, Biden is a Catholic. One would have to live in Russia not to know the difference.
