2026 USA Political Thread

Eric Swalwell dropped out. Not a fan of him but perfect timing for the dem machine for these allegations to come out.

This is why no good candidates run anymore(maybe they never did lol). Your whole life can be ruined by allegations that may never be proven or later down the line come out as false.


Depends who you are but guilty until proven innocent.

The blowback is quite loud in maga land, denouncing trump and regretting their votes is a common theme rn.... Hilarious its Because of this post, not because of any of his other blasmapheous actions

Let's not forget his attack on Pope Leo and trump saying he's only Pope because trumps in office 🤢

As an American and Canadian citizen who voted for Trump, there is no regrets. Also no regrets with friends and family. Quite frankly my Democrat friends are supporting the action against Iran. Take the bots with a grain of salt.

Yup, sure sounds like America is on board with another illegal foreign war

And recent polling shows trumps #s dwindling within his own base because of the war and now he wants to cosplay as Jesus and tell everyone he thoughtt it was a Dr.... Maga really can't be that dumb can they? But I guess they did vote twice for a TV conman to cosplay as president

I have Iranian friends settled outside Iran, some for most of their lives. Some of them went to the rallies. They want change in Iran. But it is naive to think people like them want Iran to become a western style democracy. They want change that brings them closer to free western societies, but they want it done in the context of their culture, traditions and a civilization that is among the oldest in human history.

They are worried about their friends and families in Iran. I can assure you that none of them want change through bombing of civilians and threats to end their civilization, or send it to the stone age.

Just like to point out that ancient Persian culture is far different than Muslim culture and the Quran. Todays culture is a combination between the two cultures.

Its akin to Christianity adoption of Samhain, Yuletide, Maypole (pagan rituals) turned into Christian (Halloween, Christmas Day, Easter) holidays.

Other than not involving America in a overseas war. Which is what Trump has done, further throwing the American economy into chaos (at least for oil stocks and future- which maybe Trumps ultimate goal, and with prior knowledge able to manipulate markets to his own benefits).

Proof that he is a liar and breaks his promises.

Trump continues to add shit to the circuling cesspit that is the US government (executive, courts and legislative). Trump has allow the Supreame Court to blurr/(close the difference) between separation of state and religion.

Here is a little secret you should know. There are alot of poor and middle class people who have guns. There are more poor and middle class people with guns then rich people. In the end who do you think wins, when you piss off the middle class and poor. The rich depend on the middle class and poor to defend them, through police and armed forces.

Promethean Action argues that President Trump has “put the empire on notice” by exposing what Promethean calls a decades-long British-run extortion system centered on the Strait of Hormuz. Promethean says Trump moved to break the alleged protection racket by undermining Lloyd’s of London’s role in maritime insurance, pushing the U.S. to provide coverage, and enforcing an “all or none” approach to Iran’s oil sales. Promethean highlights UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer declining to join an American blockade and claims Britain has lost control of the choke point.

The rationale for Trump's claim: There’s nothing negotiate, we won!

Stock market all time high
Inflation low
Manufacturing breaking out.
Record profits.

Operation Epic Fury
Iran military, 40 years in the making, trillions of dollars of the best weapons they could buy from Russia and china-gone
Poof.
And we lost, checks notes, zero ships. This is like taking a modern military and taking out a roman legion. Where is the challenge?
This is the best the world has? Oh look, the british navy might get ONE destroyer ready in another month.
What did Europe and Canada do? Clutched their pearls and hit like the pussies they are and always have been.
iran thought they could block the strait. We showed them how. This looked like a slick NYC real estate guy taking a bunch goat herders to cleaners.

Operation Economic Fury- The Pincer move.
Their economy and money flow is now ground to a halt, I hope they like living as hunter gathers.
Their oil sales is now OUR oil sales.

The USA now controls all major points of oil shipments, all oil major oil production, all energy IN THE ENTIRE WORLD for the next 50 years.
Check mate.

I work in the industry and this was the best report I have seen from 60 Minutes in years. Everything they said is true and as stated, there's actually more that is going wrong but this shed more light on the nefarious acts than anything the industry has seen in decades. This was not made up and there are bad characters manipulating the supply chain, using exploited labor and running non-compliantly that compromises public safety every minute of every day.

The United States Interstate system long ago ran out of enough truck parking, rest areas and capacity. I-95 North you can literally walk on top of semis from DC up to Maine.

This is exactly what happens when you can print fiat to infinity. You can pay off and corrupt everyone and everything.
And please stop using the word "integrity" when talking about government or big business.

We're getting to the point unions will be useful again. And I don't mean the unions that go on strike and hold up signs. I mean the kind of unions that hung the floor managers, set fire to the factories, and shot the pinkertons.

Dispatch operations remain in foreign countries while unsafe trucks terrorize American highways. The brokers pocket the margin; the public pays the price in crashes, congestion, and national-security risks.

The carrier network racked up nearly 15,000 violations and 500 accidents in just two years while hauling freight for major shippers. Yet the carrier insists it is merely a “leasing company,” not a motor carrier, and therefore bears no responsibility for the trucks or drivers operating under its trailers.

Poverty in America. You can do something about it.

I have a bridge to nowhere to sell you . Cheap too ! Just got back from the land of Mr DeSantis because of prior engagement with friends/family...not what the view of trump's voters 18 months ago but who knows with anecdotes.

Polls show different numbers and the market seems to be in total disconnect with the US consumer confidence, slowing GDP growth, and a cooling labor market.

Keep an eye on the oil market in the coming months and the impact on the economy...as well as the market manipulation from the trump's family and their cronies as they are getting richer weekly. Listen what the Saudi Minister of energy views on the barrel of oil vs barrel of oil status in reality....Sri Lanka is paying $286 at this point

Stock prices have nothing to do with the well-being of the average person.

Finally caught up from being away for 10 days. Core of it was a set of meetings, then a bit of fun time. Kentucky and Tennessee. Had not been since pre covid so honestly did not know what to expect.
Not a red hat or dumbfuck sign in sight. Well a couple of old ratty ones that had weeds growing on them, fitting actually. Some Hay Sus Saves bumper stickers. Nice, hospitable, friendly, well meaning folks. Worried about what their country was becoming.
I had forgotten just how beautiful the Kentucky country side was.
Oh and the college gals, my god, made me wish I was 65 again

Gotta say….Wrong-O!

Great Depression affected pretty much everybody in US and Canada.
Finincial crisis of 2008 caused people’s retirement plans to drop in value and a lot of folks had to postpone retirement or live one less.
Financial markets are like a barometer for overall economic health, and the ability of governments to tax and spend, fund important programs, build infrastructure, and squander money on stupid things too.

Stock market health enables companies to hire people and pay decent wages. It is also important for pension funds, and numerous programs that average citizens count on.

How much wealth was hold by the average Canadian in 1970 vs 2025 in percentage of GDP ? Or bottom 50 % ? Or bottom 90% ?

Is or was the market of manipulated by the top 1% for the top 1% as much in 1975 as it is now ?

Keep in mind that Westwoody was specific about the average person vs the financial market .

When did the average person in the developed world enriched themselves at the same pace as the market in the last century ? Hint.... post war to oil crisis in the 1970s .... 22 to 23 years and the crack down and demonizing of the unions started to full blown dismantlement or erosion from the 80s to now .

It didn't originate with trump . It allowed him to get elected though and exacerbate the problem even more despite promising to go after the establishment. Historical facts are what they are sadly for our economy

So wait wait wait wait wait, did I just hear you say that Trump was not the root of this evil? He just exacerbated it? (great vocab and spelling btw!).

Maybe too much Bernie coolaid in the repertoire? Ya, this anti-Wall Street crap has Bernie’s BS initials on them for a prophetic reason. Socialist denial of shared prosperity through economic strength. Historical facts correlate with strong economy = $$$ for social programs and average person well-being.

You want to live in Russia or China, or any other gloriously corrupt state? Go. Now. Please. No-one is holding you back.

You think you can fix what’s wrong with the West? Hahahahaha. You suck on the teat of the great capitalist conspiracy every day dude. No solutions, no plan worthy of shitting on. Just ongoing socialist rhetoric.

And since when when does Westwoody need somebody to stick up for him? Shit, Y’all just woke-wanked a bro.
