Biden is interested in doing whatever his puppetmasters tell him to do. Guy doesnt know where he is half the time.

The democrats wants more power and control and have laid out a number of garbage and unconstitutional policies. He will back that agenda.

I don't care what paranoid articles you can dig up that portray competence as tyrany lol

He's stated he wants to reform it and stated he doesnt want it abolished. He's one of those "we need a strong Republican party" naive democrats.

For how much you love to call me out for my alleged bias, you are surprisingly blind to your own bias. :rolleyes:

Dude, you linked national review. Might as well be linking Fox.

As I've said many times, I have no clanship with the Democrats or Biden. Biden is milk-toast. He didn't fight at all to keep $15 minimum wage in the last bill. He basically rolled over at the first opposition. He's openly said he doesn't want to remove the filibuster but wants to reform it.

You're reading far-right articles and asking why I won't come half way for you. It's because I'm not interested in meeting half way with delusion. Biden has not ever shown himself to be some far-left idealogue, or to be interested in radical change of any sort. His proposed tax increases just take them back to what they were under Obama, he doesn't want a national healthcare system, he doesn't even want to cut military spending.

My advice is to stop reading right wing crap. It might help you to stop reinforcing your bias and see things how they actually are.

The point is that this move, at least to me, seems like there's something in the bush. This could be laying the groundwork to get Manchin on board for abolishing the filibuster.

Manchin said a couple weeks ago that he wants the fillibuster to be "painful" for the minority. The filibuster, as we know it, will be dead by the end of the year. I think forcing the minority to ACTUALLY hold the floor is a step in the right direction because it creates more accountability.

Russia was able to defeat Germany during WW2 but the Russians were absolutely devastated. Just because you accomplish your goal (in this case, capture Taiwan), doesn't mean you won't be hurt quite badly. It would cost the Chinese tens of billions of dollars in equipment and tens of thousands of men. Then there will be the economic consequences which will cost them trillions of dollars over the next decade. Will the Chinese stomach that?

As for America, we react quite well when we are attacked. There's no doubt in my mind that photos of dead US soldiers, sunken ships, etc. would drive a fanatic level of patriotism. It would be an attack akin to Pearl Harbor.


If we can stomach losing thousands of lives in the Iraq war, I am confident guaranteeing that the Chinese are willing to risk tens of thousands of lives to unify the homeland. I spent some time rooming with a Chinese student in university. He was very liberal, except that he took as a matter of fact that we understood that Taiwan is China and China is Taiwan.

It's a fair point with respect to the United States. We are probably the last warlike Western state.

somehow axios is now producing “paranoid” article against the democrats lmao. guess who wielded the filibuster all the time in 2020 - the (D)s! but NR is the one somehow out of touch with the filibuster

then again this is coming from a user who blames Republicans, Libertarians, and classic liberal Democrats for local far lefty (D) government policies

e; inb4 the usual repressed frustrated homophobic retort from said user

Imho that's a shrewd move by Biden. Him, or at least his advisors, must know that this is a tricky issue on which Democrats cant win. He's basically throwing Kamala to the wolves here, forcing her to take a bullet for him. Whatever Kamala does, she will either alienate the moderate wing of her party and make herself even more toxic to right-wing America, or she will massively alienate the progressives and activists.

The Biden administration takes the completely unprecedented step of firing members of the bipartisan homeland security advisory council in order to replace them with Mayorkas loyalists.

Trump, like previous administrations, allowed terms to elapse before filling posts.
