Agree with @Zachowon here. They aren't going to meaningfully purge the military. They need White guys to do the dying in some desert shithole half the world away.

You knew that.I knew that.Obama pragmatists knew that,too.But Kamala commies ? if they take over,they purge army and replace it with blm or something.
I read about russian specialists which run russian ammo manufacturies and decided to stay in soviets,becouse they bet that even soviets do not kill useful people.Till Lenin lived they were right,but after 1930 Stalin purged them anyway.
Why? becouse they were not belivers.Belivers which replaced them could not maintain production and was purged,too - but that do not helped those poor sods.

So it seems Biden and Co have gotten a bit...creative...in expanding the administrative state: It’s completely turned the mission of a little known office within the OMB, the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (which is tasked with weighing the costs of a proposed regulation and was established under Carter) into “considering costs and benefits that are impossible to quantify” and starting from a point that any deregulation is inherently harmful.

So in other words, it’s to rubber-stamp any of the “brilliant” ideas Biden and Co get...which we know how that is going to turn out. Hell, even Obama knew that red tape has real costs...

At what point do we stop bickering over the election results and just focus on stopping Biden or at least slowing his roll?
Never; because we can't stop him. We can't even slow him down; the 2020 election wasn't a battle we could afford to lose. At best, we might be able to start making some headway in local elections, but our ability to affect anything on the federal level has been completely neutralized for the next decade or so at least.

If we can rally at the state level, there is plenty we can do.

That's a big if; many states are already a lost cause for the foreseeable future, like California, and while some are mostly in the bag already, like Texas, the rest will take time. And even if we do rally at the state level, I doubt Biden's government will be as passive as Trump's when it comes to local governments defying them.

Other than Biden personally, maybe direct the ire on the acting head of OMB or other senior staffers, or even call the office directly and hit them with a coordinated phone, email, or even snail mail campaign.

My point on the arguments still going on over the election is that, maybe instead of conducting a circular firing squad, how about we instead concentrate our ire on the idiot in the Oval Office and his various shenanigans, as opposed to arguing over whether someone is secretly a Democrat/I sufficiently loyal to Trump/a RINO/etc? Seems like a far more productive thing to bring this to the public’s attention and erode his support.

The office number is 1-202-395-3080, but I think if a right-wing phone or mail campaign is going to have an effect it's going to have to find weak points.

The only thing worse than a circular firing squad from my perspective is a regular firing squad where I'm against the wall. You haven't outright stated but IMO in a few posts you've implied that you think that MAGA/populists etc. are more prone to trying to purge moderates. I recognize I have a dog in this fight, but in my experience it's the opposite that's more frequent. Moderates and extremists in alliance is a powerful dynamic- there's a lot of that on the left, and it's worked well for them. But it's got to be both ways.

On the RINO Q- Part of opposing Biden is necessarily going to be framing the issues and arguing for an alternative. As a nationalist, I don't think ConInc can effectively oppose Biden. For one thing, I don't think there messaging or framing is at all appealing. I don't want our side to be arguing, "Biden's a socialist!" I want our side to be arguing "We wanted to give you $2000, now Biden isn't even giving you the $1400 he owes you." For another, there's been some just plain incompetence on the part of the GOP establishment leadership. For instance, McConnell backed McSally for the 2018 senate seat in Arizona, which she lost, then lobbied for her appointment to the other Arizona senate seat which she subsequently lost.

Additionally, this isn't really the public. It's publicly accessible, sure, but this isn't social media where people can get something trending and so get it exposed to a much wider audience. There isn't really any support for Biden here, so issues that are actually disputed by the people here are necessarily going to get more debate.

Sucker.
One would think it's common knowledge that politicians always lie; but there's a sucker born every minute, and the Democrats have long relied on fooling the ignorant and the stupid into voting for them.

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.

Your country has both when there's people that accept fucking Bush over Trump.

The CBO has released their analysis of the results of Biden's plan to raise minimum wage to 15/hr.

The basics:
17 Million people are currently working below 15/hr, and up to 10 million more who are slightly above may be affected.
1.4 million jobs lost.
0.9 million workers currently below poverty line move above it.
54 billion increase in deficit
330 billion increased labor costs to businesses
Everything becomes more expensive.

Good time to be in the automation industry, I guess.

As for the stimulus stuff, they literally turned the campaign in Georgia into "vote for us and we'll give you $2000." :D

It doesn't seem overall beneficial to me but the numbers add up to around 25.6 million people getting raises and 1.4 million losing their jobs. Technically more people will benefit directly than lose directly.

However the increase in costs for all goods and services will hurt approx. 100% of the population which isn't good news, and the deficit increase won't do anybody any good either.
