She's fantastic. She was the hand picked by the GOP to be the state superintendent of schools, and she got about a year or two in and said "fuck this... you guys are all nuts."

She quit, flipped parties, and started her campaign for Governor.

On the one hand, I agree Biden has, at best, lost multiple steps cognitively due to age

Posted by DT <iframe src='https://mb.boardhost.com/TheDeuce/info/user=DT' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on May 8, 2024, 11:48:56, in reply to "jon stewart on biden"

But on the other hand, I think his administration has been more effective and accomplished more than Obama did, despite Obama being much younger and very sharp. And despite Obama having a veto proof majority at the beginning of his term.

So either Biden is a lot sharper and more effective behind closed doors than he comes across in public (possible), his team is a lot better (very possible), or it’s just not that important for the president to be really sharp/quick, if he has good instincts and a good team (extremely likely.)

So it’s good fodder for comedians, but where the rubber meets the road, it hasn’t seemed to matter much, at least do far. The one issue I think he’s really mishandled, the Israeli invasion of Gaza, I think is more about him being a long time beltway insider, rather than anything to do with age. Maybe his age led him to miscalculate politically, about the relative strength of pro-Israel sentiment in the public and among Democrats. Although it’s hard to know for sure on that—he’d have faced a ton of heat if he’d held Israel’s feet to the fire in any significant way, just from a different direction.

On a related note, if Republicans had supported the proposed border security bill, Biden would also have made major progress on two of Trump’s signature issues, border security and trade/industrial policy, far far more than Trump accomplished on either during his term.

If Joe Manchin and Kristin Sinema hadn't been the most powerful votes in the Senate, he could have accomplished more.

I'd agree he's probably lost a step or two. But the way the press has covered this issue has been well out of proportion with whatever losses in mental acuity he's actually suffered.

And Trump is out there spouting out more and more unintelligible word-salads, and it just seems to dissappear into the ether.

Couldn’t agree more. His accomplishments are certainly minimized by just about everyone

Also, a bureaucracy of hundreds of thousands is carried out by many people, not just the president. I got called out for saying this before, but while you fill in the oval next to a single name, you’re voting for an entire administration. Cabinet members, legislative liaisons, heads of departments, inner circle advisors, etc. Voting for Joe Biden, even if you think he’s actually weekend at Bernie’s, is voting for competence throughout the government and a set of core principles that go far beyond him. That’s what you got in term 1, and that’s what you’d get in term 2 even if he was in a coma. And the same is true, just the opposite politically, of Trump.

Regarding Obama, I think he expelled a tremendous amount of political capital to get the ACA over the line, and I think history will prove that to be a good decision. I also think he made a huge miscalculation with regards to the ability to work with the opposition to make bipartisan legislation. With that being said, I think that Biden learned a lot from the mistakes of Obama which has allowed him to be more effective. I also think that a lot of Biden's legislation has been driven by the need of the crisis like nature of the times we live in.

Rapid rise in cost of living and nothing done to stem this.

Student loan forgiveness. I was hoping for a reduction in interest rates or a freeze, but not a complete forgiveness.

Want a more forceful response to the conflict/war in Gaza.

Need more pressure on Iran to stop nuclear weapons production. Biden wanted a return to a failed policy that wouldn't work.

More of a push in Ukraine support (recent proposals are better and heading the right way)

But how much of their loans did they actually pay back?

Posted by IlliniSax05 <iframe src='https://mb.boardhost.com/TheDeuce/info/user=IlliniSax05' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on May 8, 2024, 17:31:02, in reply to "My issue is, it's a loan and should be paid back, without being subsidized by the government"

Did they take out $50k, pay back $5k, and have the rest forgiven?

Or did they take out $50k, pay back $70k, but because of their interest rate they still have $40k principal left and that was forgiven?

If it’s more like the latter I’m ok with it. They paid back the loan plus a decent amount more. If it’s more like the former I would have preferred an interest rate change that would have allowed them to pay it back in a reasonable amount of time

I hope for a divided government because the POTUS in 2025 will be bad at the job and need some resistance. We will survive either one, and I hope we have a strong set of candidates in 2028 to pick up the pieces.

"We will survive" = even if the guy that has openly celebrated authoritarian governments...

it's funny. like the wnba bit about attendance. yeah, show up. but the "you're smarter, how are you losing to the sports bar guys" question has an easy answer.

before modern laws (kudos to lawtalkers), women were physically subjugated. after modern law, women were subjugated by legality (property of husbands - boo lawtalkers) and societal norms.

the only way for women to be successful was through influence over men (only fans is the modern version) and by ruthlessly, yet "appropriately according to the norms of the time" taking down other women. it was the only way they could climb a ladder.

and still today they are mocked for this. when men have done this to everyone for ever. physically or intellectually or by the good graces of chance. and usually a mix.

for fucks sake, women have only been in the position to get equal education (or employment for about 10 percent of civilization (I'm spitballing here...maybe 20).

the university of michigan had a student union and a "league" building that was the "women's union" on campus.women have only been "allowed" at universities for a handful of generations.

i recognize that this clip stopped, so bill may have acknowledged these fundamental barriers. and he may have held up the remarkable contributions that female humans have made possible - including the most fundamental one -continuation of humanity.

but save the 2 minutes in the middle, this clip was a masterful diversion of male fragility by using effective comedic oration.

he got this right, it's about the money generated by the attention. and his bit was in service to the dollar. respect to him for getting his. but if he didn't call out men for their role in this continuing subjugation, then fuck him on profiting on pushing down our mothers, sisters, partners, and daughters.
