U.S. Politics, November 2024: GARBAGE DAY!!

Also i kinda want to hear more about suzy’s chud sister

ILX is already full of me venting about my mom/sister, if you know where to look!

At least there was one vote missing from the TFG pile - my mom’s. Dead people can’t vote…

Wouldn’t it be hilarious if Biden revoked Musk’s citizenship and deported him based on his being illegally in the US when he walked off his Stanford course? If we are cracking down on migrants, it ought to be without fear or favour, and the chudderati would have no comeback because all they do is bay about ‘illegals’.

Probably will never happen, but it would be possible to do it before 20/01/2025

wouldn’t happen because it’s illegal

Pro-Pakestine groups today, what else tomorrow?

US House voted 256-145 to pass HR 9495—short of 2/3 required.

Would empower Treasury Sec.
to revoke nonprofit tax status of orgs based on judgment they're “terrorist-supporting.”

Concerns it'd help government (esp. Trump's) attack pro-Palestine groups.

Pathetic shiteaters

How is it illegal? Explain.

A president can't revoke citizenship.

Donald Trump would love to, though.

legality not a blocker for mr trump iirc

None of these scenarios of epic for the win shit Biden should do are as funny as him simply not waking up tomorrow

Otm

also much more likely

frustration. we elected pharaoh only we- this time

it is bad enough when others seek to strip your agency (and your opponents and enemies will) but it is worse to repudiate the agency you actually had. because you will do it again.

No change in policy till Trump comes in.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱Secretary of State Blinken has decided that there will be no change for now to military assistance to Israel following the deadline the U.S. gave Israel regarding the humanitarian situation in Gaza and that expires today, two U.S. officials said. The officials said Israel…

Isn’t Blinken from a family of really prominent Zionists?

less than 10 years ago he was advising israeli drone and AI companies

business is good

"I also saw an ad from Democrats about abortion misinformation that really made me upset. I said, “You know what? I’m going to vote for Trump. Everybody hates him. They’re lying about pregnancies. Let’s just do it.”

this lady is incredibly stupid. she says later "oh I had a hemmorage and I was fine so this is all false" apparently overlooking all the well publicized cases where these things have not, in fact, turned out fine for women.

“Let’s do it and be legends”

Pretty clear this will be the last election where a candidate skips a Rogan interview.

i don’t think you can skip any interviews almost— you just need to absolutely spew lies that suit you in every direction? until a broadly recognized hierarchy of dominance is established. this is the main advantage of ruts afaict. chaos prevents good ruts, or promotes shit ones until ppl realize those new shit epi-ruts are shit. and that can take a long time.

her avoiding MSM interviews in retrospect maybe wasn't the best choice

I think a big factor here is having a story that is common sense and is easily digestible. Trump wasn't just pointing out about inflation, he was also bringing a solution. He was going to put tariffs on China and on everyone else, and they would pay instead of you.

Somebody else is going to pay, thats a strong message, who wouldn't be on board with that? The Democrats counter message that somebody else isn't going to pay, is much less persuasive

xpost The campaign thought doing them would leave her open to gaffes, which points to a pretty big candidate problem.

her avoiding MSM interviews in retrospect maybe wasn't the best choice

I don't know, I really think anyone who actually watches/reads MSM already knew all they wanted about her and the campaign. I think she was right to not care too much about them. That doesn't mean her media strategy was great, I think it more indicates how hard it is for anyone to break through to less engaged voters now.

Pro-Palestine groups today, what else tomorrow?

Just to be clear, it didn’t pass due to not having 2/3 majority.

Very glad that didn't pass, though I wouldn't be surprised for it to come back in some form. I feel like there would be some strong 1st Amendment challenges to something like that, but I'm not even confident what the courts think about the 1st Amendment these days.

that it applies selectively based on political leaning just like every other aspect of the law?

I mean we have a century of 1st Amendment precedent to the contrary. But yeah I don't take it for granted.

Just to be clear, it didn’t pass due to not having 2/3 majority.

Point is 50+ dems supported this

They will have to put together a tax bill that makes permanent or allows to expire all the 2017 shit. If something like this doesn’t get included in that bill, I will be surprised.

How many goofy clips of this Hegseth guy are there?

Hegseth is this guy right:

Hegseth is a total fucking maniac and seems like the one most likely to give the Senate pause (so far at least). But presumably they'll just go ahead and confirm him.

would need five defections, and I can only forsee three furrowed brows in my crystal ball

oh shit, it’s the tanned hyena dude!

thread to gawk at the tanned hyenas (anchors) of fox news

Yay! We're back to "I saw him on my TV" appointments

Thune, yes. A grinning figurehead from the bow of a ship.

oh wait til you see trump's plan for healthcare, its more of a concept of a plan but it's gonna be great

“I suspect I won’t be running again, unless you say, ‘He’s good, we got to figure something else,’” Trump said, sparking laughter from fellow Republicans in the room.

what healthcare plan do orban and putin offer

They will put bars on your windows so you don't fall out.

“Hungary has a tax-funded universal healthcare system, organized by the state-owned National Health Insurance Fund (Hungarian: Nemzeti Egészségbiztosítási Alapkezelő (NEAK)). While healthcare is considered universal, several reasons persist preventing Hungarian nationals to access healthcare services. For instance, a Hungarian citizen who lived abroad but is unable to show contributions to another country's healthcare system will not be able to access the Hungarian healthcare system free of charge. However, to the OECD, 100% of the total population is covered by universal health insurance,[1] which is absolutely free for children (all people under 16), mothers or fathers with babies, students, pensioners (everyone over 64), people with low income, handicapped people (including physical and mental disorders),[2] priests and other church employees.[3] In 2022 the cost of public health insurance is 8,400 HUF per month (280 HUF/day) which is the equivalent of $23.69.[4] The healthcare system underwent significant changes which also resulted in improving life expectancy (7.48 years for men and 4.92 years for women between 1993 and 2013)[5] and a very low infant mortality rate (4.6 per 1,000 live births in 2014).[5] According to the OECD Hungary spent 7.8% of its GDP on health care in 2012. Total health expenditure was $US1,688.7 per capita in 2011, US$1,098.3governmental-fund (65%) and US$590.4 private-fund (35%).[6]

Doctors' pay is the lowest among the OECD countries. General practitioners are paid 1.4 times the average wage and hospital specialists 1.6 times”

Outrageous

American doctors don’t get out of bed for anything less than 20x average wage
