Do nothing, and the chuds would still go "These people are stealing OUR MONEY to spresd their globalist religion, and the corrupt government does NOTHING!! Because they are controlled by Zion!1!" and such. All things being the same, might as well clean house of the actual grift.

Main Paineframe posted:It's not polled very often, since it's rarely a significant political issue. But when it does come as a political issue, voters are pretty consistently skeptical of debt ceiling increases, and typically want them to be paired with spending cuts. Moreover, they largely don't realize the importance of debt ceiling increases, and have no idea how bad it would be to fail to raise it. This is all very interesting and it goes to the fact that misinformation has always been present. Political ads are basically just lies with a small kernal of truth on the right. On the center, it isn't much better. I don't really know what left wing ads would be like because we don't really have a left in this country. More education on civics and economics in highschool would be better but we have one party and a part of the other party trying to push charter schools and actively trying to defund public education not to mention that we fund our schools in the stupidest way possible. We also have horrible media that wants to portray either crazy talking points as on the right, or a straight horse race on CNN and MSNBC. Not to mention they tend to do sensational stories because talking about pure economics and the debt ceiling or how our government actually functions is not compelling to most people even though they should probably know this before casting a ballot. We talk more about cultural issues in the media than actual policies and knowing which politicians and parties care about which policies is a good way to figure out who you should vote for rather than letting it devolve into red team blue team partisanship. Maybe some sort of truth in advertising for political ads, especially those found on facebook and twitter could help this coupled with a robust civics and humanities program in schools. Its honestly scary how little most people know about most of this subject matter and I constantly need to remind myself that I am the weird one for knowing even a small amount about politics in this country.

Edit: In all fairness, DnD busts out some banger megaposts or threads that aim to try and rectify this information, but it is in our nature to poo poo post and destroy even the most noble of attempts. It does not help that a lot of this poo poo appears very arbitrary (which it is) without a lot of context and awareness around this poo poo, and we have failed as a democracy in properly educating our populace and building a society in which the time to participate in and be an active part of politics is at a level that can support a true democracy. The materialist reality of capitalism does not allow for this because it could interfere with profits. TaintedBalance fucked around with this message at 03:06 on Oct 25, 2022 |

Ben Sasse's first few days on the job resulted in a ton of protests around his office. Now, the U of FL is just banning indoor protests and telling all news organizations who want a comment to see their statement announcing his hire. Honestly, I'm still really confused why the University of Florida thought it was so important to hire him that they did it secretly with no other candidates or why Sasse was so eager to leave the Senate right now when he was 4 more years left on his term. It really seems like a lot of trouble for everyone involved for no real gain. Except for Sasse getting a bigger salary. https://twitter.com/AP/status/1584955479654105089

Well, if there's anything we can rely on college students for, it's historically never violating any prohibition on where and when they're allowed to protest. Problem solved.

Florida had an opening and is a flagship university with pay to match. The board of trustees of a public institution can't really hide appointing someone to be president any better than they already have; only recently was having a secret search committee possible. The opening is set to be Jan 2023, so if he waited he'd miss the window.

Heard some of the zeldin hochel debate on the drive home from work (I don't live in NY or I'd be able to spell their names) and hoo boy as enraging as one would imagine. Zeldin straight up advocating for dropping the hammer on 'those people', because we all know democrats want to treat people with too much compassion which drives them to doing crimes. Fear is your only god on the radio. Yes, it was enraging because it made a Democrat seem like an obviously good choice stop asking.

Hunter Biden only got that job because of his parents. Kim Kardashian is only rich because of her parents. There's no evidence that Hunter Biden actually did anything at Burisma or influenced U.S. policy, but it's not like cashing in on your family name is an inherently honorable and noble endeavor.

I just really don't care either way. The government needs to go after the Trump kids/Jared Kushner for breaking all kinds of laws while Trump was in office. But that's probably not going to happen at the federal level.

Hunter Biden and Beau Biden are actually kind of interesting case studies in psychology and trauma. Both Hunter and Beau basically said that nearly dying and being trapped in a crushed car with their mom and sister's dead bodies changed their lives. Beau became a teetotaler, went to law school, joined the army, did volunteer work, opened a charity, married his college sweetheart, and ran for Attorney General. Basically, the most stereotypical clean cut political resume ever and was practically a Mormon. Then, he ended up tragically dying from a crazy rare brain cancer in his early 40's, which is a 1 in 200 million chance. Hunter ended up into every drug imaginable, constantly in debt, scamming his parents, trying to hit on his dead brother's widow, trying to kill himself in front of his wife, being lovely to his kids, and having several children with random women that he did not acknowledge. Basically, every stereotype of a "dirtbag" in our society. They were raised by the same parents, same genetics, and the same traumatic near-death experience shaped their lives, but they turned out very different. Both pretty sad stories for different reasons, but kind of wild how they ended up not just different, but literally on polar opposites of the spectrum.

The judge is who sets the sentence. The AG's office initially indicted and asked for 8 years. Renee Hrivnak was the prosecutor on that case. Beau Biden defended the prosecutor who worked the case, but wasn't prosecuting it. The only major pedophile case he prosecuted directly was Earl Bradley.
