TheGreatBuzz Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 2 hours ago, tshile said: “Weakness is immigration” you mean the thing they turned into a political football in the ‘80s and ever since everyone involved has just kicked the can down the road and not done anything to fix it? that’s a Biden issue, eh? Interesting. Remember when we criticized Biden for giving an unwinnable subject like immigration? Now he appears to have realized that may not have been the best idea so he gives her peace in the middle east instead. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 In the separate interests of political destabilization and $$$, Russia, China, cartels, and certain American corporate interests, are very big players in stimulating existing and creating new major drivers from Mexico through central american and down into South America that have been exacerbating our immigration woes. This has been going strong since reagan but has ramped up during each succeeding admin and particularly so in the last ten years. It's one of the most difficult matters to address and the recently gop killed compromise was the closest we've come to making even a smidgeon of potential progress. Imv, major, meaningful solutions are almost impossible to conceive of. 😐 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do 😂 the narrative was Harris was the heir apparent and just needed 4 years to get ready. so they gave her immigration/border security 😂 then they spent the next 3 years hiding her from the public as much as possible 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Califan007 The Constipated Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 3 hours ago, tshile said: Also - the SOTU rebuttal is stupid. It started as something that occurred days later. Which at least makes sense as they could potentially be some real effort put into understanding what was said during the SOTU and drafting a response to it. this immediate response stuff is and has always been garbage. You are super limited if your whole plan is to rebut an hour long speech you haven’t listened to yet and don’t know the content of. it’s an absolute loser position to be in. It baffles me either party can even find someone willing to do it. It’s a loser spot and you’ll be mocked. You’re set up for failure. My assumption is that the rebuttals are recorded before the SOTU even starts. It's a bunch of generic talking points and criticisms of the president, regardless of what he actually says in his speech. So it's not a true rebuttal, more like a really, really short alternate State Of The Union speech. And this one sucked eggs. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Let it begin. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/08/biden-campaign-ad-onslaught-00146028 Biden campaign launches $30M ad onslaught Joe Biden’s campaign — long criticized for its sleepy wind-up — is starting to let it rip. Coming off of the president’s forceful State of the Union, senior Biden campaign officials on Friday rolled out a $30 million ad buy and new campaign travel stops. The announcements were designed to drive home the aggressive posture Biden is adopting as the general election contest with former President Donald Trump begins. In what it has dubbed a “Month of Action,” the Biden campaign announced that the president, Vice President Kamala Harris, first lady Jill Biden and second gentlemen Doug Emhoff will stump in every battleground state in March, kicking off with Biden’s events in Pennsylvania and Georgia on Friday and Saturday. Biden will also appear in New Hampshire, Wisconsin and Michigan next week, while Harris will head to Arizona and Nevada. The campaign is also hiring 350 new staffers and opening 100 campaign offices across swing states over the next month. Notably, it will start a six-week, $30 million TV and digital ad buy on Saturday, aimed at drawing out the “full-throated” contrast between Biden’s vision for “where the country can go” against “Donald Trump’s dark, dangerous and chaotic vision for the country,” said campaign communications director Michael Tyler on a call with reporters Friday morning. The ads will target battleground states, as well as Black and Latino-focused outlets and channels. It’s part of a broader strategy to bury Trump in non-stop spending, made possible through Biden’s significant fundraising advantage. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Califan007 The Constipated Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) "Charlie Kirk, founder of the far-right Turning Point USA youth group, said: “I’m sure Katie Britt is a sweet mom and person, but this speech is not what we need. Joe Biden just declared war on the American right and Katie Britt is talking like she’s hosting a cooking show, whispering about how Democrats ‘dont get it’.” That pointed to widespread confusion over the setting for such a figure to give such an important speech: a kitchen. Kirk asked followers if they liked the speech. Blue-ticked conservative verdicts included “Man, it was so disappointing”, “No, very babysitter-reading-a-bedtime story-like”, “way too dramatic”, and “the up and down emotion was bizarre”. ********* “No one was surprised that [Minority Leader Mitch] McConnell’s handpicked senator resonated so poorly with the base,” said a source close to Trump, who requested anonymity for similar reasons. (Britt is a favorite of McConnell, which has made Trumpworld suspicious.) “But her performance was the stuff of nightmares and people were surprised by that,” they continued. Julia Ioffe, Washington correspondent for Puck News, said: “Imagine you’re sleeping over at a friend’s house and you get up in the middle of the night to pee and you hear a weird sound so you follow it to the kitchen, where your friend’s mom is drunk, crying, and rambling about the national debt. Those are the vibes from Katie Britt right now.” ************ "Shannon Watts highlighted a darker side to Britt’s performance, as expressed in a particularly lurid passage. With wavering voice, the senator described meeting a migrant woman who she said described being “sex trafficked by the cartels starting at the age of 12” and who, Britt said, spoke of being repeatedly raped “on a mattress in a shoebox of a room”. Watts said: “Senator Katie Britt says sexual assault is the worst thing that can happen to a woman while encouraging Americans to vote for a convicted sexual predator.” Edited March 8 by Califan007 The Constipated 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PleaseBlitz Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) The GOP sucks with women. A lot of moms can’t see themselves in Katie Britt’s kitchen https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/2024/03/08/katie-britt-gop-response-to-biden-speech-suburban-women/ Quote Before Sen. Katie Boyd Britt (R-Ala.) had even begun her State of the Union rebuttal on Thursday night, an ally reportedly had already sent around a helpful list of talking points that conservative pundits could use to describe her — again, as-yet undelivered — speech. They should make comparisons to Ronald Reagan, according to the New York Times, which reported the memo. They should say that Britt came across as “America’s mom.” When Britt did appear, it became clear she’d gone balls-to-the-wall with the mom theme, broadcasting solo from her Alabama kitchen in such a way that, if you were watching with the volume down, you would have assumed you had stumbled upon a commercial for either stain remover or Il Makiage. Turn the volume up and there was Britt opening by saying that her proudest role was being a “wife and mother,” before segueing into describing a violent gang rape, before calling Biden “dithering and diminished,” and explaining that we were all “steeped in the blood of patriots,” which, ladies — if that’s a menstruation euphemism, I hadn’t heard it before. Somehow she wrapped up by talking about how America put a man on the moon. It’s not hard to imagine why Republicans chose Britt to deliver their rebuttal. At 81, Biden’s greatest liability is his age. Britt, at 42, is the youngest woman ever elected to the Senate, with school-aged kids at home. Was she effective? Hard to say. Somehow, despite also being a White 42-year-old mom who watched the State of the Union from my own kitchen, I did not feel I was her target audience. This is the third State of the Union for which Republicans have chosen a woman to deliver the response (last year was Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the year before was Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds). Clearly, someone in charge is trying to sell the GOP as the party for women, and specifically, for moms. The trouble is that they are trying to sell it that way once a year, via a televised State of the Union rebuttal, rather than by selling it via policies and legislation. So much of the rest of the night revealed a contrast between what Britt’s party had done for women, and how women and mothers were actually living their lives. I guess ill note the reaction of my wife, who is not yet 40, has a career and yet somehow manages to be the best mom possible, like it actually astounds me constantly how good she is at momming, her reaction was just “what the **** was that?” Edited March 8 by PleaseBlitz 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
