US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

Oh yeah that was something. I remmber how upset she was when she saw other MeToo activists claiming Reade was lying. You could tell she was truly broken by that

I don't have a lot of sympathy for people who can't remember Lewinsky. Exactly the same thing happened with the left closing ranks around Bill Clinton. Rose McGowan was a full adult when that was happening.

In all fairness she was an upcoming actress at the time

Ketanji Brown Jackson has a white husband. Seems like a lot of these woke PoC women have white husbands (or white boyfriends) for some reason.

I am not trying to imply anything, I just honestly don't know what the reason is, its just something I've noticed.

if you're actually curious this is a good place to start, the author has some good interviews up on youtube also

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Is_Marriage_for_White_People%3F

the wiki article leaves out a major portion of the book, which is the fact that black women are much better educated than black men, and black men are extremely felonious

So apparently Virginia democrats blocked Youngkin's voter ID bill.

Any more word on that?

No surprise on that as they still control the Senate.

Haven't heard about that but his ban of mask mandates in schools also got blocked by a judge.

Unfortunately that was predictable. Virginia is a state that's trending further and further Democrat, and its got all sorts of D.C. infestation to deal with, so it's not surprising that all of his initiatives and actions are being fought in court.

Its weird how everything goes to shit in the end.

Tim Pool did a video yesterday saying that Zucker ultimately got fucked in the ass and fired BECAUSE of Discovery.

Apparently Discovery's biggest shareholder stock-wise is a HUGE fucking Trump supporter. And told the Time Warner folks that Zucker had to go NOW, because in order to get him to not kill the deal outright via blocking it at the shareholders meeting where the merger will be approved, he wants Zucker fired ASAP.

And why? Because the second, the SECOND, that the merger is finalized, Discovery (per it's main shareholder's edict) will order that CNN be dragged kicking and screaming back to the middle as far as Discovery being appalled at how incestuous the Democrats and CNN's top brass and reporters are and how blatantly biased they are. To the point that it has leaked that Brian Seltzer is literally screaming, behind the scenes, that NO ONE is safe because of the merger and him being FURIOUS that Zucker was shitcanned since he was the guy protecting everyone from the consequences of being biased as fuck and even saying, that the Time Warner folks were being cockblocked by Zucker from forcing the network to tone down the anti-Trump hate mongering due to Zucker making it the hill that he was willing to die on as far as editorial direction being bent explicitly to be Anti-Trump and pro-DNC.

I haven't seen anything about Brian Seltzer, but Newsmax is amplifying some claims that Chris Wallace is absolutely fuming. Supposedly he went over to CNN only because Zucker talked him into it, and now that Zucker's gone he feels like he got fucked and he's unhappy about it. Apparently the dude also hates Jake Tapper and Sam Fiest.

2022 will be a great year for CNN, I'm sure.

I think Don Jr read rules for Radicals and is applying "Hold the Enemy to their own standards" part.

Don Jr. has been shitposting harder than his old man has for years. The President is expected to adhere to certain standards. His children are not, if Hunter is any indication.

Did Tim pool provide any evidence to back this up?

Well, not like the White House needs any these days.

Hey, maybe China is playing both sides so that they come out on top. They did that to the steppe nomads, they do it to other world powers.

China is in it for China's sake. It why they're going to split with globohomo sooner rather than later. Something tells me Xi Jinping didn't invite in all those big-name foreign investment groups so they can loot his house of cards for him before it collapses, but because he plans on suckering them into holding the bag and the blame for him when it all falls apart.

 

[Oxous]

Well, not like the White House needs any these days.

That's true but I think Tim Pool was going off this Daily Mail article. There's plenty of other interesting nuggets in there.

An ongoing investigation at CNN that was focused on Chris's departure has now, according to Rolling Stone's sources, also found that Gollust - who worked for Andrew previously - and Zucker were actively consulting the Democratic Governor and advising him.

He and Trump - Zucker's famous enemy - would trade insults in the press and according to the Rolling Stone article on Thursday, Zucker and Gollust gave the New York Governor some of the material to fight the then President.

One allegation suggests the disgraced governor received one-to-one media coaching for his popular pandemic press conferences from Zucker and his second-in command, Gollust.

The pair are said to have coached the 64-year-old governor on how to best present his daily Covid briefings during the pandemic.

The duo are even said to have fed him lines to use when responding to criticism by President Donald Trump in order for it to make for compelling television.

@Gehenna Your "CNN is advising the White House" claim doesn't sound so outlandish now, does it?

The gaslighting of Lewinsky still lingers to this day, in that there are lefties who will go to their graves believing that she was a psychotic stalker who targeted the President, seduced him, and nearly brought down Bill Clinton.

There is a reason why semi-red pilled folks like Ryan Murphy spent an entire episode of American Crime Story showing how Bill orchestrated (and got Hillary to go along with it) the mother of all smear campaigns against Monica to save his ass, and titled the episode "The Assassination of Monica Lewinsky". To this day, most people in Hollywood probably wish death on Monica for nearly bringing down their beloved Billy and probably also blame her for Bush II's election, in so far as the domino effect of Al Gore refusing to allow Clinton to campaign for him becuase of the scandal after the fact. And probably blame her for Hillary losing, given how the spectre of Monica helped nuke from orbit a LOT of the vital rose colored lens nostalgia for the Clinton 90s that Hillary has ALWAYS shamelessly exploited in her quest for the White House.

Hillary Clinton outright lying during her campaign and stating that all women who accuse men of sexual assault need to be believed sure as fuck didn't help her out there. God damn, talk about stepping on a rake and then falling backwards onto a landmine. Trying to play any sort of sexual assault card against Trump given her own... indiscretions (to put it mildly) has to be one of the dumbest things I have ever seen.

Why are they so obsessed with blaming Russia for everything? Are they really just that brainstuck in the Cold War?

Because they have to maintain the lie they created in 2016. It's no different from all there other lies such as "the constitution [magically] changes with the time", the "parties switched", ergo, Republicans in southern states are racists because they were same people around the time of segregation, there was no election fraud in the 2020, Republicans are suppressing votes, etc.

I vaguely recall the DNC making fun of Sarah Palin in 2008 and Mitt Romney in 2012 when they insinuated that Russia was a threat to the US. Pretty funny that the DNC now goes crazy over Russia.

Yeah, one thing I wish Trump said was "The 1980s called. They want their foreign policy back."

Investments are cyclical. During recessions, you bet on "reals" - commodities, things people need, food and gas. As the economy recovers, you move further out - first towards the services that deliver commodities, then to the retail stores that sell the commodity, then to technology that improves the quality of life delivered by the commodity, and eventually to NFTs and other highly speculative investments. Commodities plunged in 2008 because the crisis caused a wave of unemployment which triggered a dip in the price of petroleum, and that will happen this time also - but tech will die first.

My transition plan is NRGU - TZA (small cap shorts) & SQQQ (nasdaq shorts) - SCI (coffins and hospital beds, the death industry) & CWB (convertible instruments) until markets sort out. Which could be forever if stagflation kicks up.

I dont know a lot about finance but wouldnt it be better to buy after the prices crash? like for example oil afaik never got up back to pre-2008 levels but it still bounced back, but whoever bought before that crash is still holding that bag

Commodities don't really work like that. When you look at a price chart of a commodity you're looking at the spot price i.e. the price of delivery of that commodity at that moment. The average trader can't really trade on the spot price, and even if you could, you can't really hold it long term. There probably isn't anyone holding a bag of $120 crude oil from 2007. Instead what you're trading are the futures contracts (or funds made up of futures contracts), and those don't necessarily behave like the spot price. Or, you can invest in the producers of a commodity, which avoids most of the peculiarities of futures, but also introduces the variable of the company's performance.

Which one because this actually happens semi frequently. A couple of years ago there was a drug bust in Seattle that turned into an irl Spiderman meme when one group of dealers turned out to be undercover SPD and the other group was undercover DEA.

Don't have it on hand but it usually gets posted in humor threads a lot. TLDR it is about an anons dad who worked with the local police to infilitrate some militia group, everyone seemed really chill until all the leadership started advocating armed revolts or something. The dad is stunned because everyone seemed really normal but a lot of people o along with it. Fast forward a few weeks and his dad is at a meeting to prepare for a raid by local cops when the Feds, rangers, ATF, and a few other groups raid, to the departments shock. Turned out the whole group was a massive honeypot and no law enforcement told anyone else.

It gets even stupider: the judge was married to a school teacher that was apart of the mask law suit. Massive breach of ethics that the judge did not recuse herself.

Absolutely this, and also value always exists in something (commodities, stocks, currency, precious metals, nuclear bombs). Additionally, you can place short bets (usually), though frequently the SEC tries to limit short activity right before things are about to fall apart.

Oh look

Its weird how everything goes to shit in the end.

The lesson here is not to willingly, and in some cases eagerly, give up institutional power like conservatives did over the decades. The New Left’s long march through the institutions paid off even though it took decades to accomplish.

How is it a scandal when it’s something everyone has known for years? You don’t need the Warren Commission to prove the media’s blatant left wing bias.

In all fairness she was an upcoming actress at the time

She was being Marilyn Manson’s fuck doll at the time.

Why are they so obsessed with blaming Russia for everything? Are they really just that brainstuck in the Cold War?

They need a white antagonist and Putin and Russia fill that role nicely. Putin is a guy who puts Russia and his cronies ahead of the rights of niggers, trannies, and faggots. His country sits on many of the world’s largest pools of resources without handing resource rights off to companies like BlackRock who will use the profits to fund more anti-white initiatives.

Also there is a blood libel aspect to it all where chosenites want to exact their revenge on Russia for the pogroms, Pale of Settlement, etc. They were getting their way with Boris Yeltsin but things were getting so bad with Yeltsin’s rule that Russia was facing a deep crisis that were exacerbated by western governments and Jewish interests. Just remember that when they sob about Putin’s corruption, which is child’s play compared to the shit that was pulled in the 1990s.

It’s no longer kosher to demonize pee oh cee countries, even if they are utter shitholes. They need white enemies. Putin is that guy. They tried to make Lukashenko into one but a tiny backwater country like Belarus doesn’t have the agitprop power that a giant like Russia has.
