Your 2024 Presidential Election Thread

[Bluebird19]

I'm surprised Biden is still in office. I figured he'd have either passed away or been forced out for Kamala by now. Maybe the latter is indicative of what her party thinks of her? Anyway, it is wild that we have a kid-sniffing dementia patient running the country.

So Lloyd has been at Walter Reed for 4 days and the Pentagon Press are going after DoD right now for disclosures talking about a strategic failure. To be quite honest, don't worry Kathleen Hicks is just as shit at her job as Lloyd.

When the deputy secretary of defense began assuming some of Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s responsibilities on January 2, not even she knew that it was because Austin was hospitalized, two defense officials told CNN.

We went about 24 hours without a SecDef and Austin still has a job? For 24 hours...no Secretary of Defense.

Unreal.

Ryder told CNN on Sunday that Austin “has no plans to resign” over the episode,

yeah if he didn't resign over the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle, he's not willingly resigning over this.

Well, President Trump also had General Milley...

Accountability sure didn't extend to height and weight standards in that case...

This is partially why I was against removal of Confederate monuments. Whether you believe that most of them were built to honor the lost cause mythology or not. They were allowed to be built in the spirit of reconciliation.

But holy shit, William Penn is having his statue removed? Lol wtf.

so - went without a SECDEF - and the truth is - we were probably safer as a nation during those same 24 hours than any other 24-hour period since January 20 2021

...prove me wrong

Removing the statue of a guy from a state that is named after him. Sooooo, why not change the state's name?

I'm sure they will get there eventually, when they start running out of other things to complain about.

I had a less related one in mind, but I'm pretty sure that region of Romania has long had dibs on it.

This is pure gold. Post of the Day contender until @Box shows up and does...Box things to this forum.

I got nothing - I reckon states will be states.

Although - does anyone else see the irony that the birthplace of Arkancide is currently operating under the “Executive Order To Eliminate Woke, Anti-Women Words From State Government and Respect Women”

States rights and all that jazz.
