US Politics Thread

[BlueHammer85]

Which stupid twat on here was saying that Tara Reade should have been given the same amount of credibility as E Jean Caroll simply because she made an allegation against Biden?
Thankfully we’ve not seen him for a while.

Is that because everyone’s got him on ignore?

Or the illiteracy is being faked. Who else joins BM and instantly heads to the US politics thread?

There are Bigga fish to fry than in the US Politics thread.

Let's be honest, roles reversed, Trump would be doing a victory lap right now over Tara Reade because he has the emotional intelligence of a 6 year old child.

Surprise!!!

Are they going to use her as a tank in the assault on Ukraine?

I see what you did there.

It's very surprising to me that a US debt payment compromise has reached this stage - will the compromise actually pass?

It might, but I think McCarthy might suffer as a consequence.

It's an odd one. I was convinced that they would drag this out to the last and even gone over the edge. The modern GOP specialises in tearing stuff down and general shithousery.

Politically it would have been a very bad move but when has that ever stopped them.

And what does McCarthy think he can achieve doing grown up politics when you are on the side of Trump and the Freedom caucus?

Biden played an absolute blinder. He initially said he wouldn't negotiate which then gave McCarthy the illusion of 'victory' when he 'forced' Biden to the table. Biden meanwhile was always prepared to negotiate from the off. Once McCarthy believed he had the upper hand, Biden could then pretty much sneak in all the concessions he was looking for and McCarthy and Co would still think they were getting the better deal.

I dont see what is in this for McCarthy. It's lose lose. He has achieved very little and given the nutters another stick to beat him with.
