The Biden Presidency

[mqt]

Who would want to join the military at this point? Need to reinvigorate pride in America. Can’t do that with a party that claims America is a racist awful country that needs to be radically changed.

I’m going to veer way off here and point out that I think this *could* be a positive thing. The amount of actual good being done by our military is pretty limited right now, so a reduction in troops would be fine. However I have little to no confidence in our military to reallocate the troops toward positive ends, so it probably won’t turn out well.

We need a strong ready military to act as the ultimate deterrent. Even with moving in an era of Modern warfare you still need ready made fighting force.

This is not going to end well if we continue on this track.

It's a huge mystery why strong men don't want to sign up for this religious institution

I ultimately think with our technological and geographical advantages that there are almost no circumstances where we wouldn’t be able to protect ourselves effectively for long enough to sort the rest out.

But the thing is nobody is invading the US ever so (aside currently at our southern border) thats an irrelevant point. The fighting force is a deterrent to other nations not to **** with the US. Peace through strength. We have war right now because the US is projecting weakness.

We've become such a joke

Lean into the culture war.

End the age of murdering babies and grooming children.

Recruitment usually drops during economic good times. We've had a nice stretch of good economic times. Once the recession really bites we'll probably see recruitment jump.

Replace "military" with Navy, Air Force, and Space Force, and I'll agree with you. A large Army and Marine Corps is just a temptation to put troops in places we shouldn't. Sea, land, and space are the places to practice deterrence and punitive attacks.

[sturg33]

Why are these controversial questions to ask?

Why don't leftists want to look into this as much as Jan 6?

How do we.know it's not crazy right wing insurrectionists behind all thos destruction to make Biden admin look bad?

These two polls don’t really show much of anything given that it was already known by anybody paying even the slightest bit of attention that this exact ruling was coming.

That said, I’ve been very skeptical of the notion that the SCOTUS decision would be a good political driver for the Dems, *even if* the ruling was very unpopular. The issue I see for the Dems in this is that they control both houses and the WH, and yet this is happening on their watch and they’re doing nothing to impact it. That doesn’t translate to further success at the ballot box if what you’re telling your base is that you just have to vote again, but this time it’ll be different!

They will just concoct another false narrative around the next candidates anyway.

I don’t agree with this unless you think America is basically in a constant state of showing weakness. The countries invading and fighting may change a lot, but the world is in an endless state of war. I believe it was actually you that made a point I agreed with that our focus on Ukraine vs. a country like Yemen is ****ed up. We disagreed on what that meant, but these territorial and ethnic disputes are all over the place. I don’t think the US being perceived as weak is entering the equation much.

Welcome to politics. If you think Republicans dont try to create fake narratives to damage Democrats you are very naive.

Fake suppression polls. Your side can only win by fraud.

This is a ballsy play with Mitch only one seat away from Senate control. I recall that not ending so well for Dems when Harry Reid did it.

Biden trashing the Supreme Court overseas.

Get the **** out here you CCP traitor.

I hope they kill the fillibuster.

they have a few months of their cry baby tyranny

then the GOP takes control for probably the next 6 years and shoves everything down their throats

After a wildly successful second (really third) term for Trump the (D) brand will be so toxic they won't have any meaningful power for decades.

What we are seeing is unprecedented considering Biden was the most voted for president of all time (HAHAHAHAHAHA)

[sturg33]

Betting markets are betting he won't be the nominee in 24

Who thinks this is going well?
