USA Political Thread 2024

It gets better
He's Nelson Mandella

Can't manage his mouthy attitude as well as his political enemies and rivals from the opposite camp but some are willing to give him the last super power to manage . Priceless!

We will look back in a few decades at this period of time and shake our heads in disbelief. How close to insanity were we ?

There's false equivalency and false equivalency but that is a doozy

I think it's a mistake to take whatever a politician says literally.

All politicians lie and bend the truth.

Trump says some pretty ridiculous things on a regular basis.

The same can be said of Biden.

Who would do a better job of governing?

I don't think Trump was great, but I don't think he was terrible.

If not for covid, he probably would have been re-elected.

Biden is terrible and the Democrats are terrible.

Looks like Trump is going to be re-elected.

The TDS crowd on this board is going to lose their shit.

Always entertaining.

He might out of it because the jurors are probably being scared of being murdered by the Magats. Many of his supporters are deranged and violent. It is all hard to convict a 'mob boss'. It takes courage.

Ok this is next level unhinged. Please list the incidents where Trump supporters murdered anyone.

TDS should be a certifiable mental illness.

We all know he knows as much about governing as he knows about running a casino. Every venture he has ever taken on has gone bankrupt except Trump Tower which he bought with his father's money. Everything else he touches turns to shit. Leaving people who trusted him, holding the bag. Over and over again.

Lol Sadly most of us would run out of friends quickly as the support for Trump in Canada is around 30% ... 2 friends to 1 ...

For this to work ....You gotta look for a guy with a pool of friends exclusively involved with the Conservative Party and/or if you don't mind a bilingual pool of friends... people involved in the Bloc Quebecois ( separatist minded a bit ) in Quebec which is where you will find the greatest number of supporters among Canadians per party .

Best of luck

Basically, he's loved among Canadians who hate Canada. Some endorsement !

And also the base of wokeism, the bible of the progressive left and the legacy media who thrive on using identity politics trying to divide people by race, gender and sexual orientation. Dont try and throw this all on conservatives. There is a lot of blame to go around.

Said completely without any irony at all, this critique is like a ref that ignores the instigator and penalizes the retaliator. The United States political scene has always been about identity politics (especially race) and puritanism of every sort under the sun.

The "culture war" thing has been pushed by both sides since (at least by that name) since Nixon, probably if one's realistic, all the way back to the end of Reconstruction / building of the Jim Crow era, and maybe even right back to that nation's founding.

Red baiting, race hysteria, satanic panic, Iraq War, conspiracy pandemonium etc. meet political correctness, wokeism, critical race theory, etc. - the USA's cultural origins are in the Puritans, and their politics have always been about sitting in judgement upon the lives of others, but never being judged themselves. Regardless of what group, ideology or religion it supposedly comes from, the mentality holds true. Why debate an issue or win an election fair and square when you can simply deny the Other the right to even be heard at all? As the tech people joke "that's a feature, not a bug". Even their relations with all other nations are marked by this sort of fundamentalist hypocrisy.

The age of the internet has only weaponized that aspect of their society, and the awful parallel political development called "permanent campaigning" means that machine of culture war is switched on 24/7/365.

It will go on until the Americans blunder into the final apocalyptic reckoning they all seem to want. Unfortunately, their sort of politics has been spread to other nations like some kind of plague of bullshit. They are determined to drag the whole world into hell with them.

Stacking courts so they resemble the Catholic Church, more than they resemble the American people.

I disagree. American "Catholics" are more like the rest of the US religious/political right, than they are like real Catholics in the rest of the world.

Did he really prevented H.Clinton from becoming president? I thought it was James Comey

Hillary Clinton prevented Hillary Clinton from becoming president.

She could have lost to a random B-grade celebrity. Oh wait, she did.

 

[rlock]

I have no faith that the US court system will actually succeed in punishing Trump for any wrongdoings he actually did. It's a system built to let guys like him get off scot free, and anyways at the top of it sit 9 people where a clear majority are partisans who answer to him.

Of all the things Trump could be charged & convicted for, it being the USA, the one most likely to result in actual conviction is the one involving sex.

Ok this is next level unhinged. Please list the incidents where Trump supporters murdered anyone.

TDS should be a certifiable mental illness.

Michael McKinney, Joseph Czuba, Clifton Blackwell, Anthony Cornello, Igor Lanis, Kyle Rittenhouse, Cesar Sayoc, Patrick Stein, Curtis Allen, Gavin Wright, Alexandre Bissonnette, Michael Hari, Michael McWhorter, Joe Morris, James Alex Fields Jr, Nikolas Cruz, Jeremy Christian, Sean Urbanski, Dimitrios Pagourtzis, Daniel Perry, John Martin Roos, Henry Slapnik, Daniel Ruve, Frank Nucera are all Trump supporters who have murdered or attempted murdered. The number of Trump supporters who have threatened people by mail, phone calls, etc. is much longer. The list of physical violence is fairly long as well.

I figure that the names of the accused and/or sentenced is enough. You can look up the incidents and dates yourself. I am sure that you will be able to pick out a couple of names and maybe disprove but I am only trying to show a pattern of violence. Every talks about Antifa violence and it does exist but Magat violence also exists. A lock of sick fuckers and their supporters out there.

So those crazy ass Puritans are the root cause of everything wrong in the good old USA!

Who knew?

This is truly a revelation!

LMFAO!!!!!!!

I've never heard of any of these people.

Except for Kyle Rittenhouse.

That guy is a hero.

I wish there were more like him.

You know how to google, don't you? Or maybe not. And if Rittenhouse is your hero, it identifies what you are.

Don't worry, I know who he is.

Self defense is a thing.

Bonus is two scumbags are no longer taking up space.

I hope I didn't hurt anyone's feelings.

I thought we were all adults here.

Maybe I'm wrong.

Not about Rittenhouse though.

He's a hero.

Questions

How would fare a young black man in camo armed with an AR-15 rifle going a state over to police a white supremacist crowd / rally ?

Would he even be allowed by law enforcement to get close to the crowd or even go free ?

Hypotheticals are always interesting.

What if?

What if an old Asian man in pajamas armed with hand grenades crossed the state line and went to a Taylor Swift concert?

I guess we'll have to wait until that happens.

I don't know what your point is?

Maybe you don't have one.

Review the facts of the case.

Rittenhouse plead self defense and was acquitted.

The facts of the case are easily available.

It's pretty straightforward.

I think people are going to throw the bums out in November 24. They remember the prices we all paid before Biden took over and I swear it seemed like one week into his regime that Inflation took off.

Its not stopping. Every supermarket, Walmart, gas trip I feel it.

Went to my fav Chinese take out, rice and one item is 10 bucks with tax. You want a soda, or pop. Make it close to 14 bucks. If you have a family of 4 56 bucks, no wonder everyone working multiple jobs now or can't miss a day of work. I don't see why Airports are busy who can afford travel besides people with great pensions.

Outside of CA, NY, Illinois, people are upset. Maybe Democrats don't pay inflation prices? Is there a secret club for them at stores
