You stupid fuck. You were warned about that months ago. You had plenty of time to avoid this.
Here's the deal, Theodore.
Quote:
But the Biden team doesn't seem worried.
Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez wrote in her letter to New Hampshire Democrats, "The president looks forward to having his name on New Hampshire's general election ballot as the nominee of the Democratic Party after officially securing the nomination at the 2024 Democratic National Convention where he will tirelessly campaign to earn every single vote in the Granite State next November.
New Hampshire state Democratic Party Chairman Raymond Buckley tweeted in response to the president's decision, "The reality is that Joe Biden will win the NH FITN Primary in January, win renomination in Chicago and will be re-elected next November."
The Biden* team has nothing to worry about. That's why they didn't give a fuck about this.
Do you even understand how Primaries work, Ted?
For both parties, they work very much like the Electoral College in the General Election does. We the People go out and vote in the primaries, then the parties tell us that our opinion is duly noted and the delegates vote for the nomination.
Those delegates are supposed to vote for the will of the people, but if Democratic Party Chairman Raymond Buckley's tweet above is correct and "Joe Biden* wins the NH First in the Nation Primary in Janurary", they're now put in the position of putting on full display that they don't have to vote along with the will of The People at the ballot because they will go ahead and give the nomination to Joe Biden* even though he wasn't on the NH ballot.
In any event, because Joe Biden* was just itching to make South Carolina the FITN Primary over New Hampshire against all better judgement, he just shot himself in the foot. Now the Legacy Media can't make a big deal when Republicans do the exact same thing for Trump in Minnesota or any other Democrat ran shithole state that tries to take him off the Primary Ballot.
Now, you have nothing at all to gain by stripping Trump from a primary ballot and everything to lose. All that stripping Trump off a primary ballot in a state Trump was never going to win in the first place is going to do is make people in other states go out in force for Trump.
So please. Do it. Stop talking about it and do it.

The new Speaker of the House is Rep. Mike Johnson. He says:
Women have abortions after a baby is born
Trump won the 2020 election
Jan. 6th was a "legitimate protest"
Covid was a hoax and vaccines are dangerous
Social Security is a "Ponzi scheme"
Cut Medicare
Climate change is a hoax

He's one of your guys. Uniparty trash.
They couldn't give any more money to Ukraine or Israel without a speaker, so I imagine they were threatened by Uniparty RINOs that enough of them were going to defect and vote for Hakeem Jeffries if they didn't all go along with Johnson on this vote because at the end of the day the only thing important to the bought and paid for Uniparty shills on both sides is funding war.
I'm sure there's a deal in place that they're just going to kick him right back out in a few months after the wars are funded and a new budget agreement is reached. This Johnson guy will be a non-issue long before election day.
You can put that in the predictions thread, Jaynez.

In 1999 Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas bought a luxury motor home for $267,000. It was financed by a loan from his friend Anthony Welters, a health insurance millionaire.
In interviews, Welters said the loan had been "satisfied" in 2008 but declined to say just what that meant. So the Senate Finance Committee subpoenaed him to get the details. It turns out that Thomas was required only to make interest payments on the loan. The New York Times tells the rest of the story:
The principal amount borrowed would come due in a balloon payment on the loan’s maturity date, in December 2004....But in 2004, when the principal came due, Justice Thomas did not make good on his debt, according to records obtained by the committee and cited in their report. Instead, Mr. Welters granted him a 10-year extension, with the same interest-only terms....Then, in late 2008, Mr. Welters simply forgave the balance of the loan, according to the committee’s report.
As usual this has tax implications but isn't necessarily an ethics violation because the Supreme Court has virtually no ethics rules. A Supreme Court justice can essentially accept a gift of half a million dollars¹ and not bother disclosing it.
¹This is adjusted for inflation, naturally.

6ix, every Trumptard I know is a fucking scumbag. Some hide that fact better than others, but if I look, there it is because decent people would not vote for Trump, who also has a long and detailed record of being a scumbag, a record that other scumbags ignore/discount because their personal life is worse or no better than Trump's. Why are Trumptards' lives full of sound and fury? Then I remember that scumbaggery causes their personal dramas.

Yeah. I barely know anything about him, but the little I've heard I don't like at all. Sounds like somebody GWB would have approved of.
Like I said before, I don't expect him to be in that seat for very long. But TPTB threatened the GOP members that weren't going to vote for any Uniparty warmongerer that enough of the GOP members were going to vote for Hakeem Jeffries next vote if they didn't play ball and get somebody in there who would approve more funding to Ukraine and Israel immediately and raise that debt ceiling before the government shut down.
Expect Mike Johnson to be booted from that seat by sometime in January at the latest.

Quote:The new Speaker of the House has a detailed record, too. You probably should look into it. He will attempt to end the programs you depend upon. See your comment from yesterday: "It was a ton of work for my Dad to get that taken care of, and after my dad passes on it's going to be my responsibility to make sure he's taken care of since none of my other brothers are going to do it and the Government is going to spend the rest of his life trying to kick him off of the assistance." - http://fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?bid=18&tid=65794&mid=11829

81#1182981
Until his sudden elevation to speaker, Johnson was a relatively little-known figure. But he did serve for a time as chairman of the Republican Study Committee, a group that devises policy proposals. And now that Johnson has become the face of his party, people really should look at the budget proposal the committee released for 2020 under his chairmanship. https://mikejohnson.house.gov/sites/mikejohnson.house.gov/files/final%
20rsc%20fy%202020%20for%20print.pdf
If you read that proposal carefully, getting past the often mealy-mouthed language, you realize that it calls for the evisceration of the U.S. social safety net — not just programs for the poor, but also policies that form the bedrock of financial stability for the American middle class.
Start with Social Security, where the budget calls for raising the retirement age — already set to rise to 67 — to 69 or 70, with possible further increases as life expectancy rises.
On the surface, this might sound plausible. Until Covid produced a huge drop, average U.S. life expectancy at age 65 was steadily rising over time. But there is a huge and growing gap between the number of years affluent Americans can expect to live and life expectancy for lower-income groups, including not just the poor but also much of the working class. So raising the retirement age would fall hard on less fortunate Americans — precisely the people who depend most on Social Security.
Then there’s Medicare, for which the budget proposes increasing the eligibility age “so it is aligned with the normal retirement age for Social Security and then indexing this age to life expectancy.” Translation: Raise the Medicare age from 65 to 70, then keep raising it.
Wait, there’s more. Most nonelderly Americans receive health insurance through their employers. But this system depends greatly on policies that the study committee proposed eliminating. You see, benefits don’t count as taxable income — but in order to maintain this tax advantage, companies (roughly speaking) must cover all their employees, as opposed to offering benefits only to highly compensated individuals.
The committee budget would eliminate this incentive for broad coverage by limiting the tax deduction for employer benefits and offering the same deduction for insurance purchased by individuals. As a result, some employers would probably just give their top earners cash, which they could use to buy expensive individual plans, while dropping coverage for the rest of their workers.
Oh, and it goes almost without saying that the budget would impose savage cuts — $3 trillion over a decade — on Medicaid, children’s health coverage and subsidies that help lower-income Americans afford insurance under the Affordable Care Act.
How many Americans would lose health insurance under these proposals? Back in 2017 the Congressional Budget Office estimated that Donald Trump’s attempt to repeal Obamacare would cause 23 million Americans to lose coverage. The Republican Study Committee’s proposals are far more draconian and far-reaching, so the losses would presumably be much bigger.
So Mike Johnson is on record advocating policies on retirement, health care and other areas I don’t have space to get into, like food stamps, that would basically end American society

The new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, wants to make America a Christian theocracy
The Speaker of the House represents a movement that is actively seeking to institutionalize the religious beliefs of evangelical Christians into law.
In interviews he has spoken of the fact that “We don’t live in a democracy” we live in a “Biblical republic.” He asserts this was because the founders sought to follow a “biblical admonition”. In the same set of remarks he described democracy derisively as “two wolves and a lamb deciding what is for dinner.”
Thomas Jefferson said he viewed with “solemn reverence that act of the whole of the American people” which established “a wall of separation between church and state.” George Washington approved a treaty that explicitly stated, “The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion.” The very First Amendment in America’s Bill of Rights states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” The principal author of the Constitution, James Madison, in his treatise, “Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments,” described 15 reasons why the U.S. government must avoid backing any religion.
Men like Johnson and other members of that movement, a group that includes members of the U.S. Supreme Court and important leaders in the GOP like former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, represent one of the threats those who founded this country most feared. They had learned the lessons of centuries of suffering and horror that were imposed upon the world by theocrats who claimed to be the representatives of the Almighty on earth.

He also wants to do away with government programs and policies that allow Jack to eat. So he isn't happy.
