US Politics, March 2024: The house of illuminati will NOT be holding any other event in the foreseeable future.

god, all of this is painful

biden saying "illegals" over and over while greene shouts over him with some unknowable bullshit, johnson shakes his head no, and harris smiles blankly

he's been on fire for the most part, though

yeah, mostly sounds good to me.

Everybody loves the working class until they actually talk to a working class person.

Fetterman’s dad was a partner in an insurance firm and he has a finance MBA.

His Israel Warrior schtick does make feel about like I’ve felt after every conversation I’ve had with a white guy with a MBA, though.

One member, GOP Rep. Max Miller, who left early, said he left because: “This is beneath a president. It’s a full blown campaign speech.”

Lol irony

Rep. Miller, I have some shocking news for you.

My wife is for some reason watching the GOP rebuttal in the living room. I’m in the bedroom and all I can hear is “rising star” Katie Britt sounding like she’s in the verge of breaking into tears.

Katie Britt alternating between crying and doing a creepy serial killer smile while doing a whisper rant about the border and how Biden is personally inviting in illegals to kill women. The NBC network reporters just repeated cliches about her being young without factchecking her or even commenting on her weird drama school, Saturday Night Live evangelical approach

Saturday Night Live evangelical approach

She was chosen for this role by Speaker Johnson.

True, while she’s easy to laugh at, she like Speaker Johnson is scary .

She is also a lawyer, former CEO married to a lobbyist who used to be a football player, while pretending to be just a Mom concerned about her kids in their Alabama home

Biden’s speech was energetic and I liked what he said about unions, capping insulin prices , and taxing billionaires ( although listening to him endorse right wing immigration policy is painful, and it may not get him votes anyway)

Right-wing freaks have completely lost the ability to communicate with normal people (people who aren't marinating in the right-wing parade of grievances all day every day). They have an endless list of arcane references that no one else even recognizes or understands, and when they start jabbering, they sound like they come from a parallel Earth.

you guys are making me want to watch this now

"my two school-age children, my daughter Bennett and my son Ridgeway..."

holy crap @ Kavanaugh's expression after Biden blasted them.

why does she keep smiling?

why does she keep smiling?

Because her pastor told her a woman must always smile.

Does that Republican response end with the lights just shutting off, and her calling out, into the darkness, can I please get my dinner?

Well that looked absolutely batshit.

[Biden to propose new $5,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers

Republicans will probably kill this

I am 100% in favor of the GOP foregrounding christofascists who seem like they've never interacted with another human being. Don't just leave that shit bubbling under the surface, y'all, let the normals of the world see how truly fucking weird and warped you are.

Jesus is the rock and he rolls my blues away, bopashoobop iirc

That fucker with the eye patch was on CNN (I think) talking about "abortions of convenience," and some other fucker was tweeting about being against replacing lead pipes. Keep it coming, keep it coming, all the way to November.

Some of the current class of loonies consider the fucker with the eye patch a Rino.

yeah Eye Patch guy is not liked by MAGA that's why he gets to go on CNN

I mean that is why they had such a disappointing 2022, turns out running a talking concussion for Senate and airing 90-second ads of you shooting stuff in a field doesn't actually get you a lot of votes

anyway I saw like 10 minutes of the SOTU. Biden sounded good. I hope he keeps that energy up. unfortunately after so much talk I think he really is gonna have to start getting more Doritos in the bag.

I look forward to Snickers slapping "Now with 10% more Snickers inside!" on their wrappers.

I think the campaign has begun...

New ad just dropped 🔥 pic.twitter.com/vXJy19jZvc

this was published before her rebuttal but lol:

Ms. Britt, who at 42 is the youngest Republican woman ever elected to the Senate, is on Donald J. Trump’s short list of potential running mates, according to two people with direct knowledge of the list.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/07/us/politics/katie-britt-talking-points-influencers.html

Not a bad ad to get things going

omg, she's an actual Alabama senator? I figured she was a state senator or something.

that is a very good ad, though I think bits of it are dubbed over...during the actual SOTU he said "crimate crisis"

Sounded like 'crimate crisis' in the ad, as well.

Al Michaels once said a player was 'unmolested' on a broadcast, I'll let it slide.

brains leaking out their ears because biden shouted and it spooked them

Biden wants to replace lead pipes. He failed to mention that the unfunded mandate sets an almost impossible timeline, will cost billions, infringe on the rights of the States and their residents – all for benefits that may be entirely speculative. #sotu https://t.co/CD6zaEHK9M

states' rights to drink lead

GOP: bring back leaded gasoline!

remember when people were eating horse paste

Republicans have been insane longer than I've been alive but there was at one point in time still some semblance of rational thought behind the things that conservatives picketed for/protested against, even if I still wholeheartedly rejected their thesis statement.

now it just boils down to "hey look I wouldn't personally drink gasoline but fuck the government taking steps to prevent people doing this - if people want to drink gasoline, that's their God-given right. also what evidence is there that gasoline drinking is bad for you. in fact...you know what ,I changed my mind, I'm going to drink a little each morning. actually you know what, it's going to be my primary beverage now, since it's triggering you so much. btw, please donate if you can to my Gofundme, I've had a lot more visits to the hospital for some reason."

like at least when I found a completed petition at church to ban several crime dramas from TV, I got why they were doing that, even as I picked up the petitions and surreptitiously threw them into the shredder

I know you're right, yet I was old enough to remember Newt Gingrich's Contract On America and just old enough to remember Reagan-Bush's economic policy, support of Freedom Fighters, and the nomination of Clarence Thomas.

I mean yeah, Reagan did also say most pollution came from trees so....I guess this is an Overton window thing
