Surprise, McCormick takes the early lead in Pennsylvania's Republican Senate primary... or not such a surprise given which areas have been reporting results so far:




If Barnette loses she'll probably cry 'voter fraud' no matter who beats her... but especially if it's McCormick. Best case scenario would be if she lost the primary then ran as a third party candidate... not likely though. But there's a vrey good chance she'll have a significant number of voters saying 'why bother voting if it's rigged?' (one way or another...).

Trump promises to depress readers with big lie book: 'I don't think you'll enjoy it'

'Senate candidate John Fetterman tossed out a question that defines the Democratic Party's 2022 zeitgeist to a crowd packed, pre-pandemic style, into a rowdy bar.

"Do we have any Joe Manchin Democrats in the room?" [...] "No? That keeps the streak alive," said Fetterman, a hulking [6 foot 8 / 2.032 m], hoody-and-shorts-wearing Democratic rising star, drawing gallows laughs [...]

Fetterman was campaigning in gritty York, [...] in the vast rural heartland [...] known by the nickname Pennsyltucky [...] It's a deep red fiefdom where, in Biden's words, his twice-impeached predecessor really is the "the MAGA king."

Biden (quoting poetry):

'History says, Don't hope
On this side of the grave…
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up,
And hope and history rhyme.

So hope for a great sea-change
On the far side of revenge.
Believe that a further shore
Is reachable from here.
Believe in miracles
And cures and healing wells.'

'George W. Bush Rips "Brutal Invasion of Iraq—I Mean of Ukraine"

[...] Bush lamented "an absence of checks and balances in Russia, and the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq," before quickly shaking his head and correcting himself: "I mean, of Ukraine." He then appeared to mutter "Iraq, too—anyway" in a jokey manner, eliciting laughter from his audience. "I'm 75," he added'

Don't concede. It was a stolen & rigged election - the evidence is overwhelming.

Going forward I will refer to this man as the Goat, because his goatee is the most perfectly sculpted ever recorded (the 90s called though and wants its men's facial hair style back). Rumor has it a Washington insider leaked the goatee's precision is expertly shaped by top secret military technology.



Do any of you guys know what a "key bump" of coke is?

I find it funny 2 years later still Trump blame..

Looks like the dems are back to calling the other people of this country Nazis again..I see a uptick of that nonsense

Thanks for stopping by, Nico, always nice to share some laughs about Dems and their zany ideas.

... you mean Putin?

Is he calling it 'Trump's price hike'? No. It's 'Putin's price hike'. And it's happening just about all over the world, exacerbating the supply chain crisis... which is also happening (almost) all over the world.

As for overstimulating the economy during lockdown---it was very nice of Trump to hold up on sending out those those stimulus checks until they had his signature prominently displayed on them.

OTOH I agree that Biden's response has been garbage: re-appointing Powell as Fed chair after he already indicated he'd try to 'fix' a supply shock by hiking interest rates until that solves inflation (that it almost certainly can't solve without starting a recession) may well lead to a recession. And not allowing automation at the public ports is a crime against humanity.

But you'll be happy (Nicodimas) Biden's finally starting to do the right thing:

'Biden invokes Defense Production Act to boost baby formula manufacturing'

'Biden Announces New Actions to Ease the Burden of Housing Costs

[...] with a particular focus on building and preserving rental housing for low- and moderate-income families. [...] policies to boost supply [...]

[...]

Deploy new financing mechanisms to build and preserve more housing [...]

Expand and improve existing forms of federal financing[...] promoting the use of state, local, and Tribal government COVID-19 recovery funds to expand affordable housing supply[...]

Ensure that more government-owned supply of homes and other housing goes to owners who will live in them – or non-profits who will rehab them – not large institutional investors.'


Putting snark aside for a moment, Republicans might actually like this (if it wasn't being proposed by Biden):

'Reward jurisdictions that have reformed zoning and land-use policies [...]

One of the most significant issues constraining housing supply and production is the lack of available and affordable land, which is in large part driven by state and local zoning and land use laws and regulations that limit housing density. Exclusionary land use and zoning policies constrain land use, artificially inflate prices, perpetuate historical patterns of segregation, keep workers in lower productivity regions, and limit economic growth.

Reducing regulatory barriers to housing production has been a bipartisan cause in a number of states throughout the country. It's time for the same to be true in Congress, as well as in more states and local jurisdictions throughout the country.'

... that is assuming you (Nicodimas) don't think opposition to government regulation shouldn't apply to local zoning boards who want to keep the riffraff out (and property prices artificially high, lawns from becoming gardens...).


As for AmerryKKKcan Nazis---possibly NSFW (trigger warning for Republicans: this is French (but there is a translation below)):

Wow please don't post sexy drawings of me without my consent in the future...butt this one I will let slide

I get it's the political comedy thread, but do people actually believe/ think stuff like that?

[worry]

I mean, I get why Biden is personally raising gas prices here in the U.S. (hatred for patriots), but why is he doing it in other countries as well? That's what I don't understand.

At least one party is trying to do something about it, with no help from the other.



It says 'along party lines' so I assume it was the Republican Party who fought to help people, but I'm too busy to check right now.

[Aptorian]

It's because Biden is controlled by the Jewish Oil Lizards.

That one about the Ultra MAGA is still funny though. Grandpa shouldn't try to beat MAGA at their own game, he's not good with catch phrases.

But Biden's planning to sacrifice us to the smog next---partisanship will have gotten truly insane if the Republicans can't (openly) get behind that:
