US politics - cooked

How did the Dems treat Trump? I honestly can’t remember, but my vague thinking was “not clapping” versus heckling.

The Republicans have begun the important task of digging into Hunter Biden by demanding answers from Twitter. It is… not going great.

This is funnier:

That’s a Dem representative. I’m not sure what the relevance is.

This whole thread takes a bit, but is an epic take-down of what the Republicans are doing.

CNN —

Sarah Huckabee Sanders may have a point – America’s new political choice really could be between “normal or crazy.”

But after a wild week in Washington, it’s fair to ask who is on each side of the line the Arkansas governor drew in her Republican response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address.

Two days later, it seems Republicans triggered their own trap.

The unspoken purpose of Biden’s theatrical delivery on Tuesday night, and much of his presidency, is to ask Americans who the real extremists are. And the GOP’s behavior before, during and after his big night appears to be offering an emphatic answer – to moderate voters at least – as Republicans tolerate election deniers and use their investigatory muscle on topics that aren’t top of mind for most Americans.

I really think that America needs to bring in a required education standard for people running for public office.

After watching that, I would think that primary school level English comprehension would be a good start.

Not that that is a bad thing, but it would disqualify most of the population: 54% of US adults have less than sixth grade literacy.

That is amazing…how far has that country fallen since it’s halcyon days.

That’s by design.

A dumb, ignorant population will vote for dumb, ignorant leaders.

I’m not sure that I agree completely as it would have taken some considerable time to get the numbers so low…surely their politicians haven’t been that calculating until recently??

The current GOP would be happy with it, that’s for sure.

Quite a reasonable decision…after all, kids need to be able to protect themselves just like adults can.

Isn’t it so they can shoot other kids who are trying to shoot their teachers?
