US Politics Thread

Presumably if the republicans win the mid-terms, they will be able to find a mechanism to prevent Trump from being prosecuted and will leave him clear to run in 2024. They already have key people in place who control how elections are run in many states and with SCOTUS already corrupted I can't see much to stop them completing their coup in 2024 irrespective of how people actually vote. I hope the administration have a plan to counter this because simply getting more votes than the other side isn't enough any more when there are people who will happily override the will of the people based on fabricated bullshit.

I dont think having a majority in the house or congress enables them to do anything about the justice department. Isnt it up to Biden who leads the departments?

There's not that much they can do to the justice department until 2024.

Anyway it's looking like they won't win the mid-terms anyway, even if we ignore polling, these numbers look very problematic for Republicans and may explain why Fox has had some panicked discussions about losing in recent days.

Butigieg would be a great shout. He's articulate, calm, well informed and compassionate and seems to have a firm grasp on reality; all fine attributes for any aspiring presidential candidate. However, the sad fact of the matter is that I'm not quite sure the USA is ready to elect an openly gay president considering the amount of people who were more than a bit tentative about the idea of electing a woman POTUS in 2016.

Fully agree. He looks a perfect candidate, but as you say, they kick up a stink when a female gets anywhere close to a position of power, so the chances of a gay man ever reaching the pinnacle in our lifetime, is extremely low.

The other guy I'm impressed with everytime he speaks is Eric Swalwell.

I follow Eric on Twitter. Sharp as a tack and well grounded.

Biden intervenes in railroad contract to block strike

President Joe Biden has blocked a freight railroad strike that would disrupt shipments of all kinds of goods for at least 60 days by naming a board of arbitrators to intervene in the contract dispute.

Biden doing the corporates bidding. Uses presidential order to prevent railworkers going on strike and sets up a commitee which will impose shit contracts on them should the unions not sign up.

Doing the economies bidding and rightly so.
