Makes Biden look horrible and weak, to the point I can’t help but wonder if that was Nut-and-Yahoo’s intention so he can get his criminal butt buddy back in the White House.

It’s as if Bibi is begging to get Trump’s approval back since he turned on him after he congratulated Biden.

Itself its good, the problem are its members.

It used to be perfectly normal for people to serve in the House while parenting young children.

Yes, some of this was downstream of virtually all members being men with stay-at-home wives (a female member was often a widow or otherwise an older woman whose children were grown), but it was also downstream of the fact that it was perfectly normal for someone, upon being elected to Congress, to sell their house in their home state/district, buy one in DC or a nearby VA/MD suburb, and live there full time with their wife while sending their children to local schools. If you look at children of politicians (ex. Al Gore, Liz Cheney), notice they were often born in DC and attended school there for at least part of their childhoods. You went back to your district when Congress was in recess.

Newt Gingrich made that verboten. Now you're supposed to have your family and your household away from you the majority of the time while you're living by yourself in a shoebox (unless you're one of the wealthy members who can afford to maintain two or more residences at once), traveling to and from DC and your district multiple times per week.

Is it any shock that members of Congress are increasingly either independently wealthy, elderly empty nesters, or younger people who don't have any children?

Probably wasn’t a good idea to do this thread right after it happened lol

I will say Biden has had the worst first term out of any president since Carter . He’s been an absolutely awful president and he’d almost certainly be headed for a major defeat if Trump didn’t completely double down on doing what he did the final 2 Months in office

Your'e just angry that you neocons didn't had a W since 2004.
Btw Romney was a bad candidate time to get over it.

If Romney won in 2012 , our country would be in far better shape today

That's your oponion.

I really fail to see any possible compelling argument against this. Romney 2012 has probably aged better than any campaign in recent memory.

Romney and McCain gave these wingnuts their place in the party. They are just as responsible for the current situation as others.

Um...

"um", thats one.

And here's an all black emo band! https://www.kerrang.com/who-the-hell-are-proper

Also here's an emo-influenced melodic hardcore band with a black vocalist:

Israel already has nukes. it does seem like they're falling into the US way of thinking that we're the only ones allowed to have these things and that anyone else is automatically an enemy.

I am kind of sympathetic though to an argument I've heard that there's a period roughly coterminous with the George HW Bush presidency that is neither truly 80s nor truly 90s and should be considered its own thing.

If we're talking about music-adjacent stuff, I think the Manson Family murders should be the end of the 60s, not Woodstock.

The peace & love stuff at Woodstock doesn't really set the stage for the 70s very well, even though it may serve as a good ending to the 60s.
