  • Morning Consult Poll: Joe Biden’s Executive Orders Ranked By Popularity

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 10th 2021 9:06am EST

    New from me: @MorningConsult has polled 28 executive actions issued by @POTUS since Jan. 20. His move to expand the refugee cap is the first one that is actually unpopular: 39% support it and 48% oppose it.https://t.co/pwfZKkXQ3t pic.twitter.com/yr8wPKG6jY— Cameron Easley (@cameron_easley) February 10, 2021 I’ve covered all of Neoliberal Joe’s executive orders. My take on […]

  • The New Republic: The Comedy Industry Has a Big Alt-Right Problem

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 9th 2021 5:33pm EST

    The Left used to be funny. I’ve noticed this has changed since the rise of wokeness. They’re not funny anymore. They’ve become the Joke Police … a bunch of unfriendly, hysterical, miserable, humorless scolds who live in terror of people who have different opinions and values and who relish lording it over them. The New […]

  • AP Poll: Few Americans Say Democracy Is Working

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 8th 2021 10:34pm EST

    I had a good laugh watching the show tonight. AP: “WASHINGTON (AP) — Only a fragment of Americans believe democracy is thriving in the U.S., even as broad majorities agree that representative government is one of the country’s bedrock principles, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Just 16% […]

  • Neoliberal Joe Begins To Retreat On Economic Promises

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 8th 2021 5:46pm EST

    Who could have ever predicted that? How did you just know that the issues where Joe Biden would disappoint his base would be the $2,000 stimulus checks, the $15 minimum wage, free college and the $50,000 of student loan debt relief and Universal Health Care? How did you know that he would come out of […]

  • Chris Hayes: The Republican Party Is Radicalizing Against Democracy

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 8th 2021 11:45am EST

    Tried to order my thoughts on where things stand politically right now. My basic takeaway: the entire ideological basis of post Reagan conservatism has crumbled. It’s left the GOP with no real coherent program other than retaining power at all costs. https://t.co/INIHV8X87t— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) February 8, 2021 I enjoyed this article. It helped me […]

  • Democrats Considering Lowering Eligibility Of $1,400 Checks

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 7th 2021 9:50pm EST

    Unbelievable. There are some Dems who want to lower the income eligibility for direct payments from $75,000 to $50,000 for individuals, and $150,000 to $100,000 for couples. In other words, working class people who got checks from Trump would not get them from Biden. Brilliant!— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) February 7, 2021 It is absurd that […]

  • Two NY Times Reporters Resign

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 7th 2021 7:35pm EST

    Now that Donald Trump is gone, I am telling you it is coming: “I’m betting this sort of politics will be shown to be a dead end. The unhappiest, the unfriendliest, the most hateful, humorless and intolerant people in the country by far who live “back East” will do what they always do and alienate […]

  • PMC Hysteria

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 5th 2021 8:40pm EST

    So many targets. Now that Donald Trump is gone, what is there to fight about? Personally, I didn’t think he was doing a good job, but he is no longer the president. Joe is the president. PBS: “As Republicans adjust to their diminished stature in Washington, they have been consumed by infighting over the party’s […]

I’ve never gone on national television and suggested launching drone strikes on people who disagree with my politics. I don’t want to KILL Trump supporters. That’s insane. There isn’t any “insurgency” […]

  • Neoliberal Joe Delivers First Major Foreign Policy Speech

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 4th 2021 4:35pm EST

    Donald Trump didn’t start a war as president. He came close to starting a war with Iran. He was pushing his luck and we will never know how a Trump second term would have turned out. After rejoining the World Health Organization and the Paris Climate Agreement, Joe Biden is off to a mixed start […]

  • The Marjorie Taylor Greene Panic

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 3rd 2021 10:09am EST

    Who is Marjorie Taylor Greene? Why is the media creating a national panic about a freshman representative from Georgia who only arrived in Washington, DC a few days ago? What the hell has this woman done? Majorie Taylor Greene is being singled out and put in the spotlight in order to portray Republicans as a […]

  • Neoliberal Joe Signs Open Borders Executive Orders

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 2nd 2021 7:01pm EST

    Today was Open Borders Day. After he was criticized by the New York Times for issuing so many executive orders, Neoliberal Joe took a day off on Friday. He resumed work on opening the border to illegal aliens this afternoon with three new executive orders. Aside from progressive activists and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, […]

  • The Washington Post: Middle Class Liberal Scolds Attack Wall Street Bets

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 2nd 2021 11:40am EST

    I rest my case. We can’t go after the hedge fund billionaires because someone used the insensitive word “retard.” Such is the current state of middle class, therapeutic, corporate leftwing politics!

  • Politico: What Ulysses Grant Can Teach Joe Biden About Putting Down Violent Insurrections

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 31st 2021 11:31am EST

    I believe that a large part of Joe Biden’s appeal, especially to older voters, was the perception that he was a moderate who would lower the temperature of the country and that voting for him was a vote to “return to normalcy.” They were tired of the endless hysteria and polarization of the Trump presidency […]

  • NY Times Criticizes Joe Biden’s Executive Orders Blitzkrieg

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 29th 2021 12:51pm EST

    It is not because they disagree. Neoliberal Joe’s team came in too hot, too hard, too fast. The progressive base was thrilled by his flurry of executive orders on woke, trans, climate and open borders.

  • Pew: Economy and COVID-19 Top The Public’s Policy Agenda For 2021

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 28th 2021 9:14pm EST

    In the last nine days, the Biden administration has rolled out 40 executive orders to address what it calls “America’s four converging crises.” These “four crises” are climate, race, health and the economy. What are the priorities of the American people? Is there a disconnect between Neoliberal Joe’s agenda and the mood of the country? […]
