President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

And whole chunks of private equity, banking, green energy...

Democrats have a lot of money. It's the party of money now. it's why Democrats, in the last 20 years, suddenly embrace war - there's a lot of money in it.

And yes indeed Trump turns them off. He has money, too, and does not reflect well on them.

 

Speaking of people past their prime....Carville is 79 years old. We should listen to him but not elect people his own age?

 

Term limits would take care of the age issue. The framers of the constitution didn’t intend for people to be career politicians and judges for decades and decades. That’s why it isn’t in there.

 

Supreme Court (lifetime appointments and a history of very old judges indeed) has ruled term limits for federal office unconstitutional precisely because they aren't in the Constitution.

 

Do us all a favor and fuck all the way off, OK?

 

Yet we have one for the presidency.

 

The 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution

 

Um, no. Democrats don’t embrace war. They do understand having to fight wars of self-defense. Not wars just for the sake of having wars.

Going into Afghanistan was to get Bin Laden. Helping Ukraine is defending them from Russia conquering them. Helping Israel is defending them from people who want to wipe them out.

Iraq was a Republican war. Dems who questioned that were deemed unpatriotic and Americuh haters by Republicans.

 

The process for amending the constitution to add term limits for POTUS started … wait for it … in Congress!
Term limits for you but not for us!

 

Cut-and-run!

 

That always bugged me, especially with the media. If you have a half-dozen people saying the same exact catchphrase, show some discretion and don’t quote them. Or write that they’re oarroting their party’s talking point.

 

Saudi Arabia offered Bin Laden to Clinton "on a silver platter."

The number of times I heard that phrase . . .
