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

Was gonna say, it's interesting he has the lowest net approval of any new president they chart, excepting Asshole.

In a polarized era, that's the best we can expect

seems like a similar approval rating to dubya in the beginning, but yeah a much higher disapproval. nobody gives anyone a chance anymore

what's the opposite of a patreon? I want to start one for nate silver

His average approval differential is +18 right now. Trump was underwater about two weeks into the job lmao

a Natreon

mixed a margarita tonight!

Polls are fake! if you add the approve and the disapprove you get 89.. may i remind you that 8+9=17, and the 17th letter is... Q

― Andy the Grasshopper

um, no offense, but you can play with numbers like that get just about anything you want to find. but if you apply the same science to other words, you'll find that you miss far often than you succeed. for example, to take a pertinent example:

Andy the Grasshopper
44 + 33 + 142 = 219
2*9 = 18, but only if you forget (take away/remove) the remaining 1...leaving 17. Q

WTF?! is it in everything?!

the only part i don't understand is how andy is controlling joe biden and what's going to happen after biden dies of old age/senility in a couple months

44 + 33 + 142
77 + 142

7_7 + 142
G G + Grasshopper?

wtf? (49?)

44+33 = 77

keeping serious track of political polls while using ILX is like injecting brain poison with a syringe made of brain poison

Is that this 'new math' I've been hearing about?

what, and I cannot stress this enough, THE FUCK pic.twitter.com/Jk22apzDSH

cursed videos of 2021

I... what did I just watch was it satire? Tell me that wasnt real. Middle aged men living in the Young Ones?

I feel like pieces on the fratty gross Schumer house surface every few years or so.

that's pretty weird honestly

Is this what happens when men dont have wives doing all their shit for them.

Does that give you confidence in them running the country. I mean I don't run something as important as that or let news crews in to film squalor.
Seems odd that they would let things get so bad or let that get out.
Public image needs them to appear organised surely. The broken windows directive may have been shown to be problematic and not work as supposed but right now I would think they would be doing their best to instil confidence not destroy it.

So many questions

1. huh?

Alpha House is a TV show from 2013, this video is ancient

Indeed! But even so!

I guess I just assumed most senators are disgusting and reek of shit and garbage up close

So Twitter clickbait strikes again. The cliches are getting worse than youtube thumbnails at this point.

This 30-second clip is representative of the half-hour program. Dude subsequently ran the most incompetent federal budget in living memory, and was then appointed ambassador to the US, where his job has consisted of instagramming himself smoking enormous cigars, and writing "stop the steal" editorials until approx 9.7 seconds before the raid on the Capitol.

Well now no wonder the last 4 years happened if one can have no confidence in the then opposition leader because of the squalor he allows himself to live in.
Couldn't they get a new guy who could at least afford a domestic cleaner or organise one.

I thought the broken windows policy was well known and the parallel would be pretty clear. I mean if he's living like that like for real what details in what he's supposed to be organising is he overlooking.
I mean come on surely the public has a right to know?

Just found out that ironically one of the big exponents of the broken window policy was Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Actually that's then minority senate leader not party innit.

The broken windows policy has also been proven to be disastrous racist bullshit, so there's that, too.

I did say it was problematic

thought it was a really good analogy for waking up in the middle of the night and responding with.
I mean criminal neglect as an interior decorator can't beat it can you

A bunch of overgrown fratboy fucks acting like overgrown fratboy fucks isn't surprising to me, I guess. These are the sorts of dudes who never learned to do anything around the house for themselves, and they mostly go to this house to sleep.

Still, would hope for more from the head of the senate. Maybe the dems need a new role holder. Maybe have done for a while.h

what was that story from a few years ago about a fairly high-level republican who leased a property in d.c. and when he moved out the landlord discovered he had literally not once taken out the trash - there were like two rooms of rotting trash bags, spilling out of the doorways

ah it was scott pruitt. of course. head of the EPA who literally cannot stop his own home from becoming polluted with garbage.

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/04/despite-sweetheart-deal-pruitt-was-reportedly-a-nightmare-tenant-who-never-took-out-the-trash.html

table OTM here, this is wholly unsurprising and also kind of unimportant

Still would be nice to know that after 4 years of a giant size baby thing constantly wanting his nappy changed that the next set of leaders were all grown ups wouldn't it?

for a lot of affluent straight white males, hitting bottom with alcoholism is really their only chance of ever growing or changing as people

I mean, when society in its entirety has been molded to cater exclusively to you, where's the impetus?

The CNN reporter dropping the word "metrosexual" makes it seem even older

Go big, Chuck!

But many Democrats say privately that they see little hope of attracting the 10 Republican votes they would need to overcome a filibuster and avoid using the budget reconciliation process to advance the bill unless they significantly scale back Mr. Biden’s ambitions.

Haunted by what Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the majority leader, referred to as the “mistake” of 2009, when the Democratic Party was in control of both chambers and the White House but was “too timid and constrained in its response to the global financial crisis,” top Democrats are pushing to avoid settling for a small package.

“If our Republican colleagues decide to oppose this urgent and necessary legislation, we will have to move forward without them,” Mr. Schumer said, adding that he planned to press ahead with a budget resolution as early as next week.

did he get a spine implant?

He really, really doesn't want to fight for his political life down the line is my assumption.

or his literal life

good news

Interesting breakdown on how the cases against the capitol invaders are shaping up

Think we should have the offenders for dinner.

And by that i mean we should actually eat them
