Biden's Cascade of Failure!

Weird article from Politico:

21 black staffers have left (or will soon leave) the White House, since late last year. It's significant enough it's been dubbed the "Blaxit". Departing staffers are saying it's because they feel like they're getting little support, and see little chance for promotion.

Those are some of the same reasons all sorts of people are leaving all sorts of jobs. Do they have any evidence that non-Black staffers are getting a better shake?

Read the article. It's fairly complex and hard to draw conclusions, but among other things they're saying that the low-level black staffers in particular were brought in (for token reasons, it sounds like) without the connections or support structures of the other staff, who were a fairly tight knit group.

 Seems more that there is a dearth of trust funds among the black people working there, and they may not realize they were supposed to pull a Huma Abedin and hold down three other "consulting jobs " all paying 6 figures plus while doing her government jobs.   It seems the population is what is reflected in the population of the country, I wonder if there are any over represented groups in that Biden cabinet?

Sounds like they had to pull from outside the beltway establishment. Which is a good thing, if we ignore the hideously racist reasons behind it.

But it does show how difficult it is to thrive within the Washington establishment without being born in the right circles, or without being educated in the same handful of elite universities. What was their reaction to a Federal Reserve board of governors nominee who was educated at state universities, instead of the Ivy? (Shelton didn't make it.) How many members of the Supreme Court didn't get their law degree from either Harvard or Yale? (1: Amy Coney Barret went to Notre Dame.)

So, kinda like being back on a plantation... Democrats can't get away from their slavery roots.

So, how about them gas and food prices?

But hey, no more mean tweets, right? Return to norms, adults back in charge, etc...

If you voted for Biden, please, do us all a favor. Just fuck off for the next couple election cycles. Stay home.

  Lots of Biden voters did both, stayed home and voted for him.  Apparently in rest homes some of them didnt even bother waking up from their comas to vote for him.  I do laugh to myself this is a guy who is going to be running on spending shitloads of money on a foreign government while gas prices and inflations rockets up, fighting the "rise of white supremacy", trying to ban guns, and endorsing boosters every 6 months.  Even the coma patients might skip voting for him.

[Ghostmaker]

So the big distraction now is gun control. Because that hasn't been a third rail for Dems outside of NY or California for the last 20 years.

Fucking amateurs.

[zircher]

That reminds me, I need to see if my Dad will vote Democrat this year (he passed away a few months ago.)

Last night, Biden joked about arresting his political opponents on Jimmy Kimmel

This morning, the FBI breaks into the house of a Republican candidate for governor, and arrests him
https://legalinsurrection.com/2022/06/fbi-arrest-michigan-republican-gubernatorial-candidate-ryan-kelly-raids-home/

He's been charged with 4 misdemeanors. Nobody gets raided by the FBI over misdemeanors. And they waited 18 months, so they could do it the morning before the prime time circus is set to start.

And they called us the fascists.

[bromides]

Misdemeanors? Really? Smh.

When are they going to nail BLM for fraud and embezzlement? The BLM ponzi scheme isn't quite Madoff-level, but it's an even bigger scheme than Madoff's in terms of reach.

Aside from the violent insurrection (the BLM activities, not the 1/6 activity), they've created an industry around grift that needs to be ended. California is going to pay up for this crap ("reparations"), and nobody in this post-Soviet state will care despite BLM buying large mansions in the Los Angeles area.

I have faith that we will have a "Killdozer" moment in DC soon enough.

June 4th, 2022, marks the 18th anniversary of the Killdozer's rampage through Granby, Colorado.

Sit down, kids, and let me tell you a tale about a reasonable man driven to do unreasonable things.

Marvin Heemeyer was a man who owned a muffler shop in Granby, Colorado. The city council ordained to approve the construction of a concrete factory in the lot across from Marvin's shop. In the process, this blocked the only access road to the muffler shop. Marvin petitioned to stop the construction to no avail. He petitioned to construct a new access road, and even bought the heavy machinery to do so himself. Denied.

The concrete factory went up in disregard to the ramifications on Marvin's business. To add insult to injury, the factory construction disconnected the muffler shop from the city sewage lines. An indifferent city government then chose to fine Marvin for this.

His business and livelihood were in ruin. Rather than lie down and die, Marvin chose to fight back. Over the course of a year and a half Marvin secretly outfitted the bulldozer he bought to save his business with three foot thick steel and concrete armor along with camera systems guarded with bulletproof glass.

On June 4th, 2004, Marvin Heemeyer lowered the armored shell onto the bulldozer, entombing himself inside the Killdozer to make his last stand.

He burst forth from the walls of his muffler shop and straight into the concrete factory that ruined his business. Over the course of the next several hours, Marvin drove his Killdozer through 13 buildings owned by those officials that had wronged him, including the city council building itself.

SWAT teams swarmed the dozer, but it proved immune to small arms fire and even explosives. Another piece of heavy machinery was even brought out to fight the Killdozer, but it too fell to the dozer's righteous fury.

In the end, Marvin's Killdozer became trapped in one of the buildings it was built to destroy. Marvin chose to take his life, the only life he took that day.

Today we celebrate Killdozer day and Marvin Heemeyer, the last great American folk hero. A man driven to the brink who chose to fight back against an indifferent system.

From notes left behind after his passing:
"I was always willing to be reasonable until I had to be unreasonable. Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things."

HAPPY KILLDOZER DAY EVERYONE.

So they're trotting out the J6 show trial truth and reconciliation committee.

I'm sure people will be spellbound to see this Hollywood-produced docudrama about how Occasional Cortex and San Fran Nan saved Our Democracy (TM) from the evil hordes of the Orange Man. Surely this will distract them from $5/gallon gas and shortages of everything from baby formula to coffee.

[zircher]

Wait, there's a shortage on coffee?  Shit's gonna get real.  The last time we had to ration coffee, we were so grouchy that we reduced several nations to rubble.
