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

 

[Trust Me I Know]

When I said Trump blessed, he purified! Blake is truly /ourguy/. And here's his opponent in the primary, Jim Lamon, to show us why!

Forget Trump and DeSantis. Masters 2024!

Meadows and Scavino get off.

If you look on Twitter now, before the outrage really begins, you'll find plenty of arrogant asshats declaring that Meadows was 100% going to get charged with multiple felonies today.

Not gonna lie, that does raise a few eyebrows.

Schizo theory time and forgive me if I’m repeating someone else in this thread, but what if the Dems sitting on the gas crisis is their 4D chess strategy to ensure that they can fortify the midterms?

It's more likely the gas crisis is the Democrats punishing the public for voting for Trump/daring to put the fear in the Washington Elites when they stole the election via the Jan 6 protests. The fact that it is factoring into the potential red wave costing them Congress this fall is not a concern to them since right now they are treating Americans via the economy collapsing the way a sick fuck kid would torture a hapless pet: not caring about the consequences because they don't consider their victims to be people that can fight back.

Rep. Chris Jacobs (R-NY), incumbent of New York's reddest (24th) seat, has announced he's not running for re-election a week after jumping on the gun control train. His district was merged with Rep. Tom Reed (R-NY)'s, but Tom Reed resigned from the House not long ago since he was accused of sexual misconduct, which means the 23rd congressional district is now officially open.

It's currently unclear which Republicans are going to run for the seat, but the head of the NY Republican Party seems to be thinking about jumping in there and there's a couple other people thinking about it as well.

 

[More AWS-8Q Than You]

The founders derived many of their ideas from the enlightenment and that isn't the reason for Europe's weakening since they became even more stronger and started colonizing Africa and China even while the Ottomans were declining hard.

Scottish Enlightenment. The French Enlightenment is the side the fucked everything up, but one thing that is becoming clear in the experiment in liberalism that started with it is that liberalism has no internal mechanism to stop illiberalism without become illiberal itself. In order to crush the creeping totalitarianism that's coming in with the Progressive Left, we're going to have to resort to some measure of illiberalism, likely something that's more authoritarian. We'll have to sacrifice some liberties to save the rest of them. Can't tell you what that looks like, but I'd bet that's what's coming.

I know it might not seem like it, because I don't blackpill, but I am massively politically cynical. My stance on the American Republic for the last decade and a half could be summed up by the scene in Wrath of Khan where Kirk busts into the engine room. The Republic is still moving, but like a man with a lethal dose of radiation, it's dead already. I just think we should be about the business of securing our loved ones and looking towards the next step instead of downing entire bottles of black pills. I figured we still had about a decade though, but I think the age of our would-be "elites" is making them rush forward.

However the decline does start with World War 1 after almost all of the big European empires decided to lets try and conquer each other after running out of new areas to conquer outside Europe.

The end result being something not seen since the 30 years war that happened centuries ago and inevitable decline soon to follow with the European aristocracy mostly decimated and the growth of fascism and communism that followed after it.

This is a pseudoscience take but I do think that the deaths of millions of young lads from 1900ish to 1950ish has definitely played a big role in removing a lot of that "toxic masculinity aggression" from the West in general.

It does make sense, the best of Europe died in the trenches or was thrown into machine guns or wasted. They didn't pass on their genes, they didn't pass on their culture and views to the children they would have had, what was left was the people who stayed behind. Not the cream of the crop, in other words. The utter meaninglessness of it all cracked the Western World on a spiritual level it hasn't recovered from.

@make_it_so Biden vowing to make Saudi a pariah was bc of the Khashoggi bs, and only because it targeted two of the democrats sacred cows: The Muslim Brotherhood by way of AL Jazeera and the Washington Post

 

[Oxous]

Not gonna lie, that does raise a few eyebrows.

Bennie Thompson and Cheney seem to be confused.

 

[Gehenna]

Sussmann admitted to giving disinformation manufactured by Hilldawg herself to the FBI so that Russiagate could stay afloat. He was acquitted by a jury of Clinton donors and a judge within the Strzok/McCabe/Page cabal.

Do not tell me that there is any difference between Robert Mugabe and everyone in Washington.

I just said that the support goes towards that direction. Did you actually read it?

The support is generally "passive". Think "I will help you so long as it requires nothing of me". Hence why those aligned constantly get off. It requires little to nothing of the judge and the prosecution can actively flub the case.


Now, political prosecutions are a whole other deal. Requiring a lot more active participation.

 

[Cuckoman]

There is a limit to how far they can actually stretch the law. Much to their ire.

Maybe also they have started to realize that the landscape in the house and senate will be VERY different in just 6 months, so maybe they realize they should dial down the partisan asshattery and wielding kangaroo-courts against their enemies. Because the enemies will very soon be in charge. Don't do something that will cause them to want to retaliate.

 

[The Ugly One]

Then I hope Republicans start following suit.

The Republicans can be pretty vindictive. They went balls-to-the-wall to get back at the guy who made Jeb Bush cry on live TV.

 

[soy_king]

Why not just declare them guilty of Crimes Against Our Democracy, then work out the details afterward? It's not like they can't have show trials.

Except there's very strict language in the Constitution barring ex post facto laws, especially about enacting laws targeting specific individuals. Not even the loosest purposivist can interpret the explicit words to mean anything else. Also, to the point made by @Gehenna, the justice system isn't nearly that corrupt. you can probably get an indictment, bit there's no guarantee you won't her saddled with a Republican appointed judge to make sure jury selection and admissibility of evidence isn't unduly fucked with.

DDC is 90% Democrat, and the presiding judge was associated with the Clintons. The ethical failings of one judge in one of the shittiest judicial districts doesn't make the entire system completely fucked.

Lets hope.
I mean the dems got that "insurrectionists can not hold public office" ruling.
Hmmm. I wonder, would "supporting anarchists declaring an autonomous zone" count as that?
What about violent mobs that target and burn down government building while chanting that america must be destroyed. Would supporting that also count as being an insurrectionist?

 

[Meat Target]

Just wait. They'll soon decide that all trials must be held in DC/NY/LA/SF, because there is too much "local bias" in the rest of the country.

Don't believe me? That's precisely what Bob Chipman called for after Kenosha Kyle's acquittal. And every last liberal is just MovieBlob with a powerlevel censor.

 

[CrippleThreat]

Now, wait for if Oz wins. Though that is not guaranteed. He has his work set out for him with unifying his base. Though he has advantage of this being fairly early in the season. he has two months before the real general electioneering kicks off.

If Oz gets to the Senate, shuts up, does what Trump wants him to do, and works to deliver us a solid healthcare plan, Republicans will finally be able to crush an issue that has been killing them for a decade now and make better strides.

Also, fucking called it on Oz when I posted his declaration to run on here back in December.

 

[pwnest injun]

Frankly, good. I like Posobiec but the man seems utterly unable to understand his area of expertise does not extend to all areas. He needed some humbling to deflate his ego a bit.

IMO, it's important to remind Oz that the base isn't really with him so that he doesn't fall to his old instincts and learns what exactly the people he was voted to represent want.
All the whinging serves that purpose.

That's why Mastriano-Oz is the best ticket this Midterm; you have the genuine MAGA fighter romping and maxing out Trump areas that Oz couldn't, while the doc could crack into cities thanks to his status, and suburbs where he is royalty to women (who fucking saved him in this primary), housewives or elderly. Based Trump-hating moms and wine aunts to the rescue lmao.

 

[verissimus]

It's not optics. The limit is being able to possibly nail them. These guys still get a grand jury and a trial. And the prosecution is far from guaranteed an aligned judge.

Than why threaten to press charges in the first place?

 

[Collections Agent]

The way I currently feel about Biden is how misinformed college students and pearl-grabbing Californian wine aunts must have felt about Trump

 

[Sithis]

I get where you're coming from with your previously stated logic that Oz is crucial because it's crucial to get a Republican in etc.
But I do not trust him for right politicking any more than I would Dr. Phil for psychiatric advice. The man is a huckster who will say whatever he thinks is the current trend. Just because he says he supports MAGA when he doesn't actually have any power doesn't mean he'll do so when he does have power.
