The Biden Presidency

I thought Cruz was supposed to be smart
He is, he knows exactly what he's doing and he's going to be insufferable for the next four years as he prepares for a presidential run.
Cruz is positioning himself to be the heir to Trumps base.
Those are awesome images.Just found a few pics, we were there for ages just wandering around so must’ve been a little later when the mist had cleared sadly.
Cruz and Hawley are both trying to be, but its not really working.
If Donie doesn't get some social media access soon, it might start working.
Only obvious heir to Trump is Tucker Carlson and he doesn't fancy it.
The Qanon and Proud Boys are already ditching Trump and no other serious Republican will court them, especially not Cruz and Hawley since they are going to be under federal investigation soon.
They are screwed and will be lucky to escape censure (they unfortunately will not be expelled). They went all in on the MAGA crowd and can't detach now. The insurrection welded them to it permanently and they are going to have to win or lose with that group in 24.
And thank whatever supernatural forces you may or may not believe in for that.
Yeah, I was strictly talking about magats which will be a fairly sized group for quite some time.
We speak occasionally.
It’s time to now think about the important things in this country!ohh haha ...
I think the Canadian oil sector is actually ahead of the Alberta Conservative Party (Kenney's party) at this point. They appear to be more realistic about the current world, in particular the reality and evolving public opinion on climate change, and hence on their prospects and general future. Kenney's approach seems to be stuck about 10 years in the past. It's a weird reversal of the usual relative positions. I think Kenney is really not helping Alberta and undermining its future. You'd expect a leftist like me to say that I suppose, but Kenney to me is much further 'out there' than premiers like Ford in Ontario and Legault in Quebec (as much as I don't like them either).
This is probably for the Canadian Politics thread at this point, but all that to say that the immediate Canadian response does not quite represent the full Canadian position on this, and that this won't hurt US-Canada relations.
The fries are a nice touch, but the blank papers is a masterclass since most every binder Fascist Barbie would use as props (remember the healthcare plan?) would be shown to be filled with blank pages.
Norwegian political commentators were joking that while the American transfer of power is as bombastic and extravagant as possible, the Norwegian one is just the old prime minister handing their keycard over to the new one.
Joking, but not a joke though.

He obviously is. He just knows well his supporters (most of them think that the US is not a Democracy but a Republic) and how dumb they are.I thought Cruz was supposed to be smart
Why do you think its obvious he is smart ? Because he went to Harvard?
Biden needs to revoke this asap. Also find it bizarre that all of Biden's grandchildren will have 24/7 protection as well.
There used to be a time when the secret service was not used as a chauffeur service.

He clerked for Rehnquist, and the SC does not take idiots into clerkships.
Well, he did his undergrads in Princeton (which is as hard to get in as Harvard, and trust me, it is fecking hard) and then did his doctorate in Harvard. He was always regarded as a master-debater and has a long career of accomplishments (clerking in SC etc). Don't make the mistake that he is dumb, he is just playing dumb to be established as heir of Trump (and knows that most of those voters are dumb).
If he goes for it we just roll out Jon Stewart to crossfire him again
Now Trumps out of power, absolutely. Biden though while he's president. His grandkids definitely should be protected.

I showed my parents around DC a few times back in the day; my mother said a lot of the monuments & sights were about war.
It’s the American way, I told her.
If only there was no way for privileged kids to unfairly get ahead of others in academia or other institutions that are largely old boys clubs.
I agree he is not dumb enough to think the Paris agreement is for the people of Paris. But people should definitely not put that much faith in the fairness of the institutions people like him have attended.
In what aspect he was privileged?
Also, if you are not good, you don't get in this top unis, simple as that.
Now, I'll step back and need to have a shower and clean my mouth after defending Cruz of all people.
It’s a difficult one for Biden, if he was to revoke that and something happened to one of them there might even be enough conservative outrage to seriously hurt him in 4 years time. There would be a Benghazi style investigation into it.
He should avoid the issue personally and rely on Congress to refuse to fund it. Or maybe they could grant them their wishes but only if they pick up the tab.
Look, what part of "simple as that" don't you understand?

I mean... you've seen European capital cities, right?

tbf when your country is as irrelevant as Norway even that's a bit much.
