I have a great idea. Let's just put @TAG Manager in charge, with @Tabanico as veep - his scandals will keep the rest of the administration out of the news cycle.

@Frenchy can head up Treasury, @MikeH can take defense, @Manami TMK would make a great Secretary of State, @Simonka for Attorney General, and clearly @Keihan needs to be in charge of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.

@Sakura japanese is clearly fit to be Secretary of (apparently limitless) Energy.

Because you're highly intelligent, compassionate, and surprisingly articulate in a non-primary language.

I wasn't exaggerating, that was my honest opinion.

That’s true of Simona… but is it about the AG job?!

I think it would be refreshing to have an AG that was intelligent AND compassionate.

In case anyone is even remotely interested in this, and since it does pertain to the original theme of this thread, the GOP just had a landmark, historical victory tonight that even CNN is grudgingly admitting is a major referendum on the Biden presidency. Glenn Youngkin, a virtual unknown Republican nobody a year ago, just wiped out well-known, prominent former-governor Terry McAuliffe in the solid-blue state of Virginia's gubernatorial election tonight, and it looks like Jack Ciattarelli, another Republican, may possibly do the same to incumbent Democrat Phil Murphy in the NJ governor's race. I would say that the NJ race is nowhere near as significant, since NJ elected another big mouth Italian GOP governor (Chris Christie) in the not so distant past, but for the state of VA, this is fucking huge. McAuliffe was widely considered to be a potential presidential candidate, considering his close ties to Obama and Clinton and national name recognition.

Most telling is how both of these GOP candidates ran their campaigns--Trump endorsed them, but they kept him well beyond arm's length and had zero coordination with his outfit, instead focusing on the solid-blue suburbs, centrist issues and letting Joe Biden's royal fuck-up of a presidency work its own brand of magic on independents and disillusioned Democrats.

This is shaping up to be a pretty interesting mid-term election. Trump has all but announced his 2024 campaign, yet savvy GOP candidates are winning in previously un-winnable blue regions by shunning his brand of nonsense and focusing on centrist, practical campaign themes; meanwhile, the Democrats and Joe Biden are being held hostage by the radical-left snowflake millenials who want a multi-trillion-dollar social welfare bill rammed through and old guard Democrats (like Joe Manchin) are stubbornly standing in their way; meanwhile, Biden can't even stay awake at the supposedly-critical climate change meeting in Scotland, even though only FoxNews was mean enough to show him falling asleep during speeches and his staffers having to step in to wake him up; meanwhile, DNC leadership is in meltdown panic mode trying to figure out what the fuck to do in 2024, since it's painfully obvious that Joe Biden will not by the party nominee for president again--even if he's alive, he'll probably be in an assisted living facility by then--and absolutely no-fucking-body wants Kamala Harris anywhere near the podium on convention night or anywhere/anytime else...so what to do now?

I know, I need to get a life...but old habits die hard. I'll keep swilling my Costco vodka till I cease caring about politics and turn my attention and affections back to ladyboy porn.

Gotta give you your dues... You called this 18 months ago.
Thought Biden was doing OK with the vaccine roll out and you'd be eating those words but it seems to be week after week of incompetency.

All I can see is a GOP sweep in 2022 leading to a 2 year lame duck period.

Much as I'd like to see Trump convicted of some the shit he has pulled, and not be able to run in 24, I think any conviction would lead to a 2nd civil war that makes Jan 6 look like 5 year olds birthday party.

Personally I put my hopes in Trump aging into a state a dementia and that a center right candidate comes forward (love to see Larry Hogan run)


Oh and yeah... You do need to get a life!:D

I'm honestly surprised they haven't played the Joe dementia card yet and bumped Harris up to the hotseat yet.

Anything that happens to him, his supporters will spin into a reason to riot. Dementia is maybe the one thing they couldn't blame on the deep state....

im still optimistic, I believe in America.
In a country of 300mn people can’t believe the only choice is between a senile old guy and a demented old guy. It’s not the USSR under Brezhnev or Andropov!

Well, if I'm being honest, Joe Biden has completely surpassed even my wildest expectations in terms of how bad he's fucked up. And Kamala has basically disappeared and I don't think I've even seen her on television in over a month--I suspect, however, it may be on the advice of campaign staffers who are looking at approval numbers and believe people look at her more favorably if they don't have to look at her.

My guess is the GOP takes back the House by a pretty sizeable (safe) margin, and very likely tips the Senate by one or two seats. That's basically why you see Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer tossing all these Hail Mary-type garbage plays in Congress now, because they know they're getting the boot in a year.

The problem is Trump. Unlike what establishment old-guard GOP hacks predicted (and that includes myself), the party has NOT properly distanced itself from him. No, instead, they're still paying lip service to the MAGA mob to the extent that his standing in the party seems to be almost rehabilitated. On top of all that, thanks to Joe Biden's disaster of an administration, virtually every public poll being taken clearly shows that if a presidential election were held today, Trump would handily beat Biden or Harris. And that's much more than The Donald needed to convince himself to run again, which it appears he's absolutely gearing up to do.

My colleagues at the RNC assured me Nikki Haley was going to be our horse in 2024 and that Dump Trump was the affirmative order being given out...but it appears Trump has been able to scare her off and she's gone on record saying she wouldn't consider a POTUS run if Trump announced. The other so-called "rising star" is Top Douchebag FL Gov Ron Desantis, who's kinda like Ted Cruz in that just looking at his face makes you want to punch him, only he's far dumber than Ted Cruz...but evidently Trump got to Desantis, who is now saying he won't run if Trump runs (plus Trump went on record saying he would easily beat Desantis in 2024).

But the writing is on the wall. Joe Biden will not be getting a second term, if he even finishes his first. Kamala Harris will never, ever be elected POTUS--she may be sworn into the seat for a few months if her boss keels over, but she will never be placed there by the electoral college. The GOP is going to sweep the 2022 congressional elections, recapture control of likely both Houses and then two years later snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by allowing Trump to poison the party once again. It's very sad.

I like Larry Hogan, or any thoughtful, reasonable Republican...but in today's politics those guys are the easiest to intimidate and discredit (think Jeb Bush). But that's what the GOP needs right now if it's going to return to power the right way, take back the White House and have a productive eight year rule. I holding out hope that a guy like Tom Cotton will be able to galvanize party support and fend off the fucking MAGA crazies, but it's hard to get that genie to go back into its shit-kicking bottle.

In any event, I decided a while back that I will cease all association with Republican politics for the time being. The party's overwhelming embrace of anti-vax, anti-mask idiocy was the last straw. No, my goal for 2022 is, indeed, to get a life. Assuming this pandemic is finally put to bed and it's safe to come out of hiding again, there are things so much more enjoyable than politics to focus on. Like getting my anus scrubbed at Spa World, blowing money on watches in Nakano and getting naked in the snow in Sapporo.

That one seems pretty tame compared to my recent favorite: Joe Biden referring to Satchel Paige as a "negro" during a speech this week.



Watching him blink and stutter as it dawns upon him what he just said is terribly sad. Taking a wild guess that the party may have him step down "to deal with private family issues" after the GOP destroys the Democrats in the upcoming mid-term election. Although to be fair to Slow Joe, "negro" was a perfectly acceptable term back when he first entered politics, some 200 years ago.

As much as I'm content to watch him continue to embarrass himself and his party, the mounting damage he's doing to our country's standing isn't funny at all.

Obviously, he must have been thinking of the historical term “Negro Leagues.” Those pro leagues were the only viable option for Black players before MLB was integrated.

Obviously, but any coherent English-speaking human being, particularly an American in this era of ultra-sensitivity to racial issues and cancel culture (not to mention an American PRESIDENT), would and should be capable of navigating a series of a few words that aren't particularly tricky without using a potentially racist and offensive term in a particularly racist and offensive manner, particularly someone who has been in politics for six decades where coherent public speaking is the most basic of prerequisites. I've given a number of presentations before audiences at functions relating to NAACP issues, and I've never referred to anyone as "colored."

If Slow Joe's family had any decency they'd pull the plug on this unfolding disaster, but his son is a shameless and disgusting human being (would you fuck your recently dead brother's wife?), not to mention a drug addict and deviant, and his wife is obviously too busy enjoying the FLOTUS trappings to worry about her demented husband making a fool of himself on a daily basis. But like I said, I'm still an old GOP hack and despite my issues with the MAGA crowd and current state of GOP affairs, I'm looking forward to Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer getting the boot from their posts a year from now.

Obama's own White House doctor has come out publicly, multiple times, stating that Joe Biden is very clearly mentally unfit to serve as POTUS and is very clearly in a state of mental decline that makes him unfit to continue serving in office. Naturally, the MSM don't cover this story but it won't be much longer now until Slow Joe can't even make coherent statements to the media. His comms team have all but eliminated open questioning and open press conferences, limiting his exposure to rehearsed speeches (where he calls people "negro") or coordinated Q&R sessions with pre-chosen reporters and pre-chosen questions, and even then he fucks things up when he can't follow the line of questioning or just gets confused with his notes. This really is just a matter of time.

The President does have a problem with stuttering. So, he tries to control it. Biden will never be great public speaker.
 
Well, Bob Dole finally kicked the bucket. He represented a different era in American politics. He was a Republican from Kansas. Yet, he was apparently close to the late Daniel Inouye, a Democrat from Hawaii. They were both seriously injured while serving in Europe with the US Army during WW2.

Many politicians from that generation had a key common bond from having been veterans. It helped them to sometimes reach across the aisle to actually get things done.
