If Trump runs again, him not having Twitter might result in him being more measured in his remarks
They'll either make it illegal for him to run (the federal government can declare anything illegal now, it can be a judge or the president or congress or the CDC), they can censor all of his public appearances on every mainstream channel, or they can actually let him do the run and just cheat even harder with the election. There's no way he's ever allowed into the White House again. If they somehow fuck it all up and he's inaugurated, I'll eat crow and be happy to do so.
I think the Ukie bump was completely artificial
We're not being given a whole lot of reasons to care about the war other than a bunch of stories. But where's the war footage? Countries can't invade other countries without war footage getting out. If they say there's a war, show me a war! Normies don't realize why they don't care, but that's why.
 
There’s a very deliberate reason for increasing her visibility and positioning her the way that they are…

Never forget.

…Aaaaaannnd there it is. It’s becoming increasingly clear that they see this woman and her ilk to be the future of the democrat party. They are clearly puffing her up to be the eventual standard-bearer.

I hope they do. By paying attention to people like Abrams, they alienate people who would drive people to the left like gangbusters. It seals the fate of the party as doomed.

It’s bound to get worse from here, judging by the speed at which they’re hurtling into the abyss.

I strongly doubt that every channel would comply with that level of censorship, if anything, for the monetary value that Trump would provide via ratings.

Given the degree to which the man was subjected to spying and investigation, with not one attempt succeeding, is telling. They’ve had their fingers in his asshole for years- before and during his presidency. And with the investigation in NY collapsing…really makes him look like one of the cleanest guys out there.

Don’t underestimate the ineptitude of the federal government.

Find a company that isn't going along with the "yay Ukraine" narrative right now. Very very few and every day there's new headlines about some new company being bullied into submission. They changed the name of a fucking Chernobyl videogame so it has the Ukranian spelling! They'll go along with whatever they're told. All they have to do is say "Trump is working with Russia" and everyone who fell in line now will do it again.

They silenced a sitting President on social media, stole a presidency, they're selling you a fake war, and you think they won't silence Trump everywhere?
 
Oh god, they want to prop up the Stay Puft Chocolate Marshmellowman as the fucking face of the Democrats? Fucking hell, it really is going to get worse, isn't it?
One of the most timelessly immutable laws of the universe: it can always get worse and often will
New Rasmussen poll just dropped. I don't feel so good, Bidenbros...

>54% disapproval; 60% if you don't adjust it

Remember, kids, most popular president in U.S. history!

We've discussed this before, but the feds actually cannot just say "you can't run because mean tweets." Barring a successful impeachment that has a ban on holding public office as part of the ruling, there's no way to ban someone from running for president as long as they're eligible (35+ years old, natural-born citizen, resident in the US for 14 years). There's Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment, of course, which the (unconstitutional) 1/6 Commission is aiming to use to not only ban Trump, but also get rid of a bunch of other Republicans in one fell swoop. But there's a whole lot of debate one can have about whether it could still be used as originally written (a judge used the Amnesty Act of 1872 to throw out a lawsuit against Madison Cawthorn), and they'd still have to actually convict Trump of treason, which is an uphill battle to say the least. And if Republicans get control of the House in the midterms, I imagine the commission's days would be numbered.

As for media censorship, I think you're underestimating how much ratings drive the media's behavior. Trump was a ratings bonanza for the news networks, so they wouldn't willingly kneecap themselves just because it's the Right Thing to Do, especially now that they're in a ratings nosedive. If the feds told them not to, then that's a blatant First Amendment violation, and good luck keeping that under wraps. A single staffer leaking an email to the general public, and now the feds look even more like dictators.

And with regards to cheating, there's putting your thumb on the scale, and then there's throwing the scale out the window and declaring yourself the winner. With the massive discontent with the Dems and their failures over the past year, it would take far more than just a couple ballot boxes showing up at 4AM to overcome their current electoral disadvantage. Not only that, but Republicans are considerably more on-guard post-2020, and the more people there are keeping an eye on things, the harder it will be for cheaters to slip through the cracks. And let's not forget the continued investigations into 2020 fuckery; I really hope Wisconsin decertifies their 2020 results, if only to see the reaction to it.

Now, I don't doubt they'll use every tactic at their disposal to prevent the return of the Bad Orange Man, but remember, the feds do have limits, even if it doesn't feel that way sometimes. They're only human.

This is the first time I can think of that the "adjusted" polls for Biden increased his disapproval.
 
Um..... Fuck. Good bye petrodollar.



Important bits.
India is considering taking up a Russian offer to buy its crude oil and other commodities at discounted prices with payment via a rupee-rouble transaction
...
Work was ongoing to set up a rupee-rouble trade mechanism to be used to pay for oil and other goods, the official said.

Way too many countries are suddenly OPENLY exploring using non USD for transactions for me to feel confident.

Edit: and it has happened, the petrodollar has now been bypassed.

Hmm. I'm starting to wonder if Putin thought about this months ago.
 
Some law professor is on Bloomberg saying Ketanji Brown Jackson's public defense of pedos is a good thing, because "muh multiple perspectives".

Edit: "MUH QANON!"

I'd just like to point out that the last QAnon post was over a year ago.

Isn't the media being propped up by the government and attached at the hip with the FBI at this point?

Depends on what you're confident about.

I never actually considered this until today, but after all the comments I made about other world leaders, could this be a low-key way for them to openly declare Brandon as illegitimate?

Since Brandon came into office, more and more grumblings surfaced about voter fraud. The states Trump tried to get help with this from flipped him the bird. Then Brandon started fucking up bigly. Over and over. And those same states then called for audits on the ballots as if this was their idea, not Trump's.

And then I said that world leaders are all watching this. I said that a few might even call him illegitimate openly. But could this be the new "Let's go, Brandon?"
It's not illegal to not use US currency for commodities transactions. So they're not doing anything wrong. And the US can't make these countries deal in US dollars. They didn't swear or post a mean tweet. It's all on the up and up, so you can't say anything bad if they want to do a rupee/ruble exchange.

Anyone have thoughts on this?
