Enough With The Cutesy Titles, People Are Dead: US Politics January 2021 pt 2

Even the National Anthem at the inauguration ceremony was secret pork for Joe Manchin...

I am so proud of @ladygaga’s beautiful rendition of the #NationalAnthem at the #Inauguration ceremony. Afterwards we talked about her family’s Wheeling roots and she shared how proud she is of her #WV family. pic.twitter.com/Wbh4cEIaX9

Considering that people are pissed in the Biden thread about yet another US politics thread, I'm pretty hesitant to start yet another one.

Would love to see the xls of what are acceptable topics for a politics thread or not, this thread content policing is pretty fucking inconsistent.

#Qnethread

'Tis true, there is a finite number of empty threads available for use and we've nearly used them up. Restraint, my friendsh.

many xps but https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/oval-office-fumigated-after-trump/

It should be saged

since i brought it up, my view is that screenshots from qanon forums are as welcome as screenshots from st0rmfront.

there is a finite number of empty threads available for use

the indexing of threads makes this truer than you might realize, although I'm sure stet has provided for a Very Large Number of available indices

Seriously could you white people just stop for like one fucking day

stop what?

I think Q Anon is irrelevant now basically, just like Trump. The far right will rear its head again but in a different form. Meanwhile we can build a strong, prosperous, inclusive nation on a foundation of social trust, or at least try to do something like that.

Q is Joe Biden, another non-US Politics thread (Q Anon, Qanon, Q_anon, Joe Biden is Q)

thought that title would please everyone

In the joe era, karl is a troublemaker. I like it. I need a new thing too.

stop what?

just a guess, but maybe stop acting like Biden isn't a massive improvement on a president who openly professed his love for white supremacists and neo-Nazis.

politics is shitty, this is a politics thread, wtf at the sanctimony

as long as "Q" (or whatever its next stupid iteration is called) has representatives in Congress (!) and is actually influencing policy it merits disussion in a politics thread

How about Americans stop cross posting the exact same content to multiple threads idk

as soon as you stop posting the same shit 95% of the time idk

Aimless you are addressing *maybe* like two ppl itt w/ that nonsense

I think joe biden is malleable honestly. My big things are wealth redistribution and the environment and I think Joe can be moved to do things on both fronts. He was a right wing democrat in the 80s and 90s but that is no longer where the country is and he knows it.

haha this thread rules

we did it guys! we're finally angry at each other and not trump!

Also prison and police reform. That is so big.

I don't get why there can't be multiple U.S. politics threads for subtopics in U.S. politics, especially given how active the main thread is. There are multiple threads about rock music on ILM.

I'm not optimistic Biden has any more of an inner life than Trump does, but it's probably just "Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun" in his head instead of howling pandemonium

And healthcare. Lot of things to push him on. The country is in dire enough shape that good things could happen. When obama took office there was no squad, no real pressure from the left

guys Joe said we need to come together? stop the malarkey pls.

Its the start the new era deserved

Love to all

Biden has only been president two hours and he has already united the left and right in common hatred of Biden. Promise kept!

In the joe era, karl is a troublemaker. I like it. I need a new thing too.

― treeship.

i am at heart a troublemaker, i think.

(or is that karl speaking)?

but yeah, honestly, i've been really messed up, in a really weird place, recently. i wish this inauguration stuff would lift me up a little, but i'm feeling more dissociated than ever. i'm hoping that this weirdness, right now, is kind of like puking a bunch after a wild evening. it sucks, it's bad, it acidic as hell, it's going to take some paper towels to clean up in some spots. it's that little swig of water in your mouth afterward, to briefly clean some of the puke remnants out from under the back of the tongue and the roof near the tonsils. but then you brush your teeth, swig some more water, swig some listerine, and go to bed. and when you wake up, about 30 minutes, you go back to the bathroom and you REALLY puke your guts out, and there's that nauseous realization that underneath all the other puke was the true puke. but then you go to bed again, and joe biden is q, probably.

It's fair to speculate that Obama will be some kind of senior advisor, if not formally

i took the day off work to watch the inauguration, then overslept until 12:45pm. so now i'm watching the old c-span livestream. no gaga or garth or new radicals, yet

Obama retire

So many of these shitty orders getting undone today. I get that McConnell was an effective leader of the senate for appointments but it doesn’t seem like they accomplished much in the way of legislation that can’t be undone by Biden.

Restoration of Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears National Monuments to be ordered today at 5:15 pm EST..... https://t.co/gC8aJf1BPb #MonumentsForAll #StandWithBearsEars

That's the bee's knees

Another plus, I guess, it that this thread isn't (yet) 67,000 posts of Bernie sitting forlornly in a chair. Unfortunately that appears to be about all Twitter is capable of processing today.

I don't get why there can't be multiple U.S. politics threads for subtopics in U.S. politics, especially given how active the main thread is. There are multiple threads about rock music on ILM.

jesus i step away for a meeting, I see 3 million new posts, I thought maybe Biden got sonned by a wite kid after a AOL beef

tbh I'm not a huge fan of the multiple politics threads cos half the time I forget which fuckin' one I'm in and post in the wrong one but it's still simultaneously also the right one so it doesn't matter and oh dear now i'm crosseyed

#onethread

(in other words, gyac otm)

A former bandmate of mine got pardoned. Can't say I'm surprised, but it's still hilarious to me that he (K3n Kurs0n) was thought to be too toxic by the Trump administration for a post.

lol this knucklehead floated notoriously just out of the periphery of my college social circle. Here's a contemporaneous Baffler takedown

Fox News' Sandra Smith wonders if Biden signing executive orders on his first day will show he's not for unity, asking "what message does this send."

lol

me signing executive orders rather than passing laws: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!

me watching my successor sign executive orders: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

Cuts both ways unfortunately

'm a little baffled by all the cheering on of Empire that's happening here and elsewhere on the internet, though, so I'm peacing out for now.

― The return of our beloved potatoes (the table is the table)

It was at best an OK show.

And, yeah, table, I love you, and I'll tell you the same thing I'd say if we had beers in person: to wish Joe Biden signs meaningful legislation also means a Celebration of the Empire, so I guess all that Benjamin, Adorno, Marcuse, etc. taught me how to do dialectical thinking real good.

In other words, stop virtue signaling. We get it.

in other words, I am really fucking happy Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are in the executive branch again. Joe Biden also sucks.

That work?

Is this a serious post lol
