USA Political Thread 2024

[rlock]

No way he can get rid of everybody. They will probably concentrate on the criminal element first, like the Venezuelan gang members. Thats what Homan did under Obama. So the terminology is apprehensions, removals and returns. Removals are the actual deportations and he deported over 3 million during his reign as Obama's border czar so I guess he knows what to do. Its not his first rodeo.

The joke about these "Venezuelan gang members" is that they are composed of refugees that the USA - particularly the US right - eagerly took in because they wanted to show how shitty Maduro's leftist regime is.
They will have a big problem getting them shipped back there when they realize that by its own choice, the US has zero working relationship with the Venezuelan regime.

Do you mean the Venezuelan gang members that were eagerly taken in by the Biden/Harris administration?

Venezuela is a shithole because of the Maduro left wing dictatorship.

Millions of people have fled Venezuela for obvious reasons.

It has nothing to do with the US

I'm amazed by your ability to take a situation, flip it upside down and be so completely wrong about it.

You have a gift.

Im showing you how the stats are calculated and are not a true representation of what the real story is from a well known left wing publication which would be on your reading list. There are huge holes in the data collected as per the changes made in the way the FBI reports crime in 2021. The fact is you cannot really know if crime really is up or down because a third of the countries counties now no longer report and there is a list of major American cities that do not report their date in this link.

https://www.themarshallproject.org/2023/07/13/fbi-crime-rates-data-gap-nibrs

Americans believe that crime is up and with many soft on crime major cities prosecutors not trying to convict a large raft of crimes and turning felonies into misdemeanors that they are probably correct. And with the Defund the Police movement still affecting enrolment in police departments across the country many forces are short staffed, not responding to crimes and people have stopped bothering to report.

So, according to your synopsis, you can't really say Crime is up, its really just been fear mongering of the 'vibe' by the right. Sounds about right, fits the pattern. Funny how much this sort of thing is derided by the conservative crowd if someone else does it.

Those crazy conservatives what a bunch if nuts. How many conservatives does it take to change a light bulb? None... they'd rather complain about it being out.

Defunding law enforcement

Far left wants to defund the local police
Far right wants to defund or dismantle the FBI

Who's right who's wrong ? Maybe a compromise can be reached ...lol

i'm with you.

ignore the far left priests. ignore the far right priests. but the US has now entire media ecosystems worth billions of dollars that keep the system thriving. keep people thinking that every "issue" is black and white when nothing is. a system that rewards extreme rhetoric and lie telling.

Trumps not even in office yet and the hilarity of the clown show begins. he had a chat with Sheinbaum and says he's fixed everything! Sheinbaum says she doesn't know what he's talking about! hilarious.

Sheinbaum refutes Trump’s border claim: ‘Mexico’s position is not to close borders’

this will be Trumps entire term. "i fixed it" means nothing happened. "i did the best job ever, people say" means he fucked things up big time. the difference this time will be that every government official he installs will say what he says or have their sharpies ready to adjust hurricane maps, statistic white boards or whatever.

i think Musk sees himself as the first US oligarch.

Musk accuses Trump whistleblower Vindman of ‘treason,’ says ‘he will pay’

‘Delete CFPB’: Musk calls for elimination of consumer bureau

he's unelected and doesn't even have an official cabinet post but seems to be able to start preaching government policy. he can walk away from anything that fails without responsibility. beautiful.

Mulvaney says threats toward Trump picks is something he’s never seen: ‘Sad result of the heightened rhetoric’

hilarious! Mulvaney has been asleep for four years. he's never seen this! Democrats have been fielding death threats for four years but he's never heard of such a thing before! i guess thats what happens when you only watch Fox News all day long.

"Extreme rhetoric and lie telling".

Like on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, the Washington Post, the New York Times and dozens of other newspapers and websites?

Lol

Someone's got too much time on their hands.

Unless this is your full time job.

Lol

Start at the beginning.

Find and capture the murderers, rapists and various other criminals.

Deport them to their countries of origin, usually countries of the third world variety.

Obama did this, Biden did this, it's what American Presidents do.

It's part of their job.

There will be no "mass" deportations.

Their will be no "camps".

They will try to slow the flow of illegal immigrants. Stopping it completely is not possible.

Should these things be attempted?

Or should they just open the floodgates and hope for the best?

Will Trump be successful?

Time will tell.

Americans decided he was the best choice to deal with the issue.

great post Drjohn! seriously. and i do hope that calmer minds will prevail.

the danger being... well, this guy.



who reminds me too much of this guy.

MSNBC is biased. Fox is biased (and they just make shit up). the other networks rely on journalistic standards. its an important institution. CNN actually has both republican and democratic pundits on at the same time debating. notice how they don't do that at Fox or MSNBC.

this is an important part of your indoctrination... that you believe in only the one voice. that everything is black and white to you. that you blindly follow.

Yes, Stephen Miller and Joseph Goebbels are basically twins.

Just like Trump and Hitler are pretty much the same person.

When Trump invades Poland, France and Russia and then kills himself in the burned out ruins of Washington DC when it all goes bad, let me know.

You can say "I told you so".

 

[MRGREEN]

The money is in the rhetoric, keep the regular folk fighting amongst themselves as a distraction and slip the billions out from right under their noses. Their biggest fear is the regular folks get together and go ....fuck this.

Efficient Elon Musk gets yet another job, now in government. Efficiency in America and Canada needs a headline grabber that keeps grabbing public attention. Decades now of proper recycling bins available. Eliminate the retarded job of processing refundable recyclables. Enough of characters rummaging in receptacles. Enough of standing in line at a filthy bottle depot for refunds.

 

[marsvolta]

the only thing he forgets to mention is that science is also a belief system. but one that is not fabricated. one that can only be adjusted using a yardstick.

This is spoken word right? I read it in that cadence..

From the Unz Review:
...selection of Tulsi Gabbard to be director of national intelligence (DNI) will cause shockwaves in and among the 18 fiefdoms that now comprise the U.S. intelligence community.

Gabbard will be fighting an uphill battle if she tries to herd those 18 cats into a cohesive whole and restore integrity to intelligence analysis. The hill’s incline will be still steeper, if she takes seriously her duty to warn the president of the frequently noxious blowback of C.I.A. covert actions. I cannot overcome the urge to quote from “The Princess Bride”: Good luck stormin’ the castle, Tulsi … It will take a miracle!



I personally wish the lovely lady every success in the world.

Just thought I would show some of the day before election gaslighting from Meidas Touch, one of the major Democratic party propaganda outlets. Its absolutely hilarious how completely misleading this information is in retrospect because it has been reported by party insiders that Kamala's campaign had known for weeks that she was actually trailing in the polls but they kept up the fundraising and made certain to blow the entire billion dollar budget on the last night on multiple celebrity concerts.
I realize that most of you believe Trump voters are stupid but this is the slop being fed Democrat supporters and they believed it right up to election day leading to the numerous hilarious Tik Tok mental breakdowns by Harris supporters, angst from and Hollywood celebrities declaring they would leave the country.

If they really believed this hogwash they are delivering here these are the most out of touch people on the planet. 4 million gullible subscribers to mislead. And no post election apology or self reflection. They had to know they were lying. Trump gets crushing news in final polls lol.
