Politicians and Government Cringe Thread

I wouldn't get too attached to lightfoot.

My money is that someday the radicals she supports today will murder her.

Perhaps, but I’m sure the neoliberal bigwigs at the top of the Democratic hierarchy already know this.

In fact, I imagine the Clintons and Pelosis of America think Antifa and BLM are useful idiots to be cast aside later, though whether they can keep the radicals “in check” before then remains to be seen.

She also had law enforcement stand down during the BLM riots, so there's that.

Honestly, though, what else can we expect from politicians, if not grifting and self-serving hypocrisy? Sure, there may come a point where regular people have finally had enough, but until then, well...

Well, except when the protests came to her house, then she had the police come of course.

Which, in private, means she probably knows “Defund the police!” is shit. (But still doesn’t say it out loud, for obvious reasons. )

Former GOP Rep. Aaron Schock’s Steamy Selfies Leaked

I'm fairly certain Jesus and the Lord had a thing or two to say about abusing the Bible to advance their own evil. Do not take the Lord's name in vain and all that.

Well Nice to See Peloton's Recent Downturn Is Being Alleviated Via Effective Lobbying and Subsidy.

Under the contract with Peloton, which takes effect May 18, the government will pay the company $10,000 up front and $10 per month for each staffer who chooses to enroll, according to Fox Business. With high participation among House staffers, the monthly cost of the contract for taxpayers could exceed $100,000 per month.

The costly expenditure comes as inflation has consistently hovered near 40-year highs for the past several months.
In March 2021, Peloton hired an in-house lobbyist and two lobbying firms to influence Congress on issues including "government programming to support health and wellness of Americans."

The contract comes when Peloton is in urgent need of revenue. After its profits initially exploded during the pandemic as Americans locked down and exercised from home, the company has fallen back down to earth, announcing this week that it lost $757 million in the first quarter of 2022. Peloton's stock has plummeted from a high of $163 per share in 2020 to $15.46 per share as of this story.

Taxpayers Pony Up To Give All House Staff Peloton Memberships

The House of Representatives is set to announce it will provide taxpayer-funded monthly Peloton memberships to all of its staff, Fox Business reported on Friday. The contract comes just over one year after the fitness company set up a lobbying shop in Washington.

Well, we can only pray the sheep haven't forgotten his treason. I really hope he either gets pelted with rotten fruit and eggs, or no one save paid actors attends his rallies.

When a Republican quotes the Bible as a basis for a policy, a pile of paranoid Secularists will start screaming about their precious Separation of Church and State.

When a Democrat quotes the Bible... crickets.

 

[Sobek]

To be fair, when a R does it people think they might actually mean it in some way other than extremely cheap rhetorical trick. No one, on either sides, thinks Pelosi has even touched a bible in the last 60 years outside of lying when saying "so help me god" on swearings.

speaking of Pelosi,
An archbishop bars Pelosi from Communion over her support for abortion rights

The Catholic archbishop of San Francisco says that U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is no longer allowed to receive Communion because of her vocal support for abortion rights.

Salvatore Cordileone, the conservative archbishop, said he'd previously made his concerns known to Pelosi, D-Calif., in an April 7 letter after she promised to codify into federal law the right to abortion established by the Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade. Cordileone said he never received a response from Pelosi.

Cordileone notified members of the archdiocese in a letter on Friday that Pelosi must publicly repudiate her support for abortion rights in order to take Holy Communion — a ritual meal of bread and wine that celebrates the life, death and resurrection of Jesus.

using the bible to attempt to get you way and then getting excomunincated.

That has to hurt.

Does she even go to church?

 

[Robovski]

Does she even go to church?

Probably when politically expedient. Excommunication probably doesn't mean much to her directly but she will be barred from all catholic services, which includes burial rites in a sanctified graveyard.

 

[LordSunhawk]

She hasn't been excommunicated, that's a long formal process. Her bishop has declared that she is an obdurate sinner and thus is ineligible for communion in order to preserve her from ingesting damnation rather than salvation.

While I knew that I am happy letting the misconception spread.
