The American Politics thread

[Niall]

For those with half an eye, on 2024 very interesting to see the rhetoric coming from Hawley, Cotton and even Rubio who seems to be trying to reinvent himself with "compassionate captalism" .

Cotton probably the scariest of them all, at times was loved by Coulter and Kristol ffs.

 

[Gnske]

Compassionate capitalism.

I need my brain medicine I feel sick.

 

[Grasshopper]

Wasn't Dubya a compassionate conservative?

 

[Athlai]

Wasn't Dubya a compassionate conservative?

I mean he did do that huge aid program to save millions of lives in Africa.

Don't you mean his Middle Eastern Democracy Kickstarter programs?

He saved millions to earn billions.

[GIMH]

I think he can change that soon actually

 

[Niall]

Genuinely not sure which monstrosity is worst...

I don't like the original Imagine but the cover is horrific and that 2 minute erm Clinton anthem was probably a good enough reason to vote Trump.

[Redbacks]

I wonder if this is considered fraud in the US

[silentstriker]

It should. But nothing will come of it.

 

[Spark]

Another Senator now.

Bound to be more.

 

[Niall]

According to stock sales disclosures by Senators after a closed door briefing on January 24 about the Coronavirus threat, the following senators sold stocks:

Senator Richard Burr
Senator Kelly Loefner
Senator Dianne Feinstein,
Senator Ron Johnson
Senator Jim Inhofe

Oh dear.

This will blow over though, will be outrage on twitter but that will be it. Do people seriously think Mitch the swamp personified will allow 4 Republicans to step down when they look like they will lose the senate regardless November?

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Lol of course Feinstein is there

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Haha they were selling stocks before the coronavirus thread was created.

Burr and Loefner should be in jail but sure

 

[Uppercut]

It isn't anything new. Senators overperform the market more consistently than any other group I'm aware of. One of the many things that would be considered flagrant corruption in any other developed country but is standard practice in the US.

He must mean the millions he chucked at HIV testing and ARV programs all over the continent

ABSTAIN
