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

This dude is thirsty for his enemies. And y'all call ME deranged.

The two positions are not mutually exclusive. Please refrain from making comments about old lady breast milk in the future if you wish to avoid such accusations.

Remind me again - how much money does the CCP or CCP shell companies have invested in Twitter?

 

[Meat Target]

There's a reason why I'm inclined to believe that Woke is going to be thrown under the bus by TPTB and the corporate oligarchs will just co-opt the traditionalists like they did with the far-leftists at the start of the previous decade.

They'll push for a Great Reset as they did before, but with some new superficial changes in the set dressing.

TPTB don't care if they get their neo-feudal dreams of a Great Reset using rainbows and drag queens or if they do so using crosses and Bibles so long as it comes to fruition in the end.



The real test is going to be seeing how long it will trend. The longer it stays, the more likely that Big Tech is subtly changing their masks.

Such a reversal would be too dramatic. Klaus and his colleagues hate Christians and nationalists.

Even if they try it, it won't work. It'll be like the meme that says "No I'm not a Christian and have nothing but contempt for your beliefs, but if I say it you'll do what I want."

At this point, it's easier to ask, "who is not getting Beaucoup de Baizuobucks?"

Epoch Times now joins The NY Post as two of the most current censored newspapers that dare to report the wrongdoings of anti-conservative/far left politics. Even if Epoch Times is ran with the help of Falun Gong, this kind of censorship is still unacceptable.

I’m this close to actually buying a subscription of their newspaper out of spite, even if U.S. trust in media is still at an all-time low.

Between this and TikTok being used as two of the most Internet search-worthy places to get your news about current events, I’m willing to bet it is either in the multi-millions, or it’s just enough to even influence current American news stations that already have ties with former Chinese spies turned news reporters that are “experts” in the Chinese economy.

 

[Slappy McGherkin]

Kari Lake's live virtual rally just concluded (big ass Zoom meeting). Watched all 2 hours of it.

I can only say one thing: MAGA BITCH!

Meet the next (very welcomed) Governor of Arizona. Slappy predict she will smoke the Primary here on Tuesday. Then the real fun begins... facing Katie Hobbs in November. Slappy predicts she will win that, but it will be a squeaker, not a landslide. The inevitable Dem fuckery will be there, but AZ elections right now are eyes wide open.

I pray I don't have to eat these words, but Sweet Baby Black Jesus as my witness, it's Arizona and peeps be tired of the absolute fuckery that we got treated with and our election was called early by the media in favor of the Senile fuckstick.

We won't be fooled again!

The gimmick seems to be that Dems wanted the spending on veteran healthcare to be mandatory so the government would be required to fund it rather than being allowed to argue over the spending each year.

That just sounds like a good thing, it’d be creating a fund that could only be used to fund the treatment for exposure. The senate votes regularly on discretionary spending, deciding how much money to pour into different bullshit, so I’m not sure where the idea Dems would suddenly get to spend that money however they want is realistic.

Edit:
Main difference between the bill passed by the senate before and the one they voted against is this line about taxes. Which doesn't seem significant.

There's been talk about a Toomey amendment that sounds like it would have required the fund meant to help those with exposure treatment to be the only source for that treatment money, so if they went over the limit then it would mean no more treatment for those vets. Which sounds logical if you want to avoid the money being misused and also the kind of retarded thing a congressmen would try shoving in without thinking of what it would do.

The thing with Posobiec sounds odd and I don't get how it's a gotcha to point out treatment for exposure would become mandatory spending, nor does it really address how Republicans voted in favor of the mandatory spending previously in the last version of the bill.

From what I have read and heard the short and skinny is.
- This wasn't in the House Bill that passed, the change occurred in the Senate Budgetary Committee.
- 400 billion dollars is already given to the VA to combat poisoning and chemicals as a matter of law and has been for over a year now. This has always been paid out discretionary money, this is approved by congress. The amount of discretionary money is capped per fiscal year.
- The PACT ACT adds another 280+ billion dollars to help veterans with poisoning and chemicals. The House bill had this as discretionary spending, which means it is up against a cap.
- Senate Democrats took the $400 billion that by law is allotted to the VA to fight chemical poisoning, and moved it from the discretionary spending to the mandatory spending.

What this ends up doing is freeing up 400 billion dollars from the spending cap. So the question is why would Senate Democrats want to free up 400 billion dollars on purpose that they can spend on whatever they want? This is dangerous because we are in a time of high inflation all over the country and the Democrats have another 400 billion dollars to print. What the Republicans wanted was to keep the 280 billion in mandatory spending, and keep the 400 billion in the discretionary spending where it was, Democrats said no.

edit: In regards to Republicans voting on this in June and nothing changing is because the 280 billion was ALWAYS going to be direct(mandatory) spending, that's how it is in both House and Senate versions of the bill, what is changing is the 400 billion allocated to the VA last year. That's what changed and what is being moved from discretionary to direct spending.

[pwnest injun]

Remind me again - how much money does the CCP or CCP shell companies have invested in Twitter?

China has a higher GDP than the USA, when you factor out all the money we pay in the US to serve each other coffee and such. So like, in terms of actual production, they have us beat and have for nearly a decade. The CCP is a corporate entity that owns at least 20% of every company in the nation, as well as all of the land and utilities. So that's massive income. And they don't shit it away playing world cop. So essentially they can pay any sum of money required to pursue their political agenda of soft power subversion. Trillions a year, if they choose. I mean, they're not going to use that money to make sure their citizens aren't being worked to death.

No - the real question is "what did The Epoch Times discover that made Twitter only now decide to press the 'SHUT IT DOWN' button?" Definitive proof of homemade CP on Hunter's laptop? More details on the Bidens' corrupt business deals with Chyna? Or do they just not like them because they're as anti-CCP as you can get, and they just couldn't let the grorious CCP's name be tarnished anymore?

Where is this said to have been discretionary in the bill? Because there’s comparative of the house bills that doesn’t show some change. Could always be I’m a massive retard so if someone can point out the bill the senate voted on that said this would be discretionary then I’ll be happy to be proven to be a bigger retard than I thought I was already.

I do get this means a lot more money to treat veterans, but that sounds good. I like the idea of more money to help veterans with medical treatment. The VA also getting a massive amount of money freed to treat veterans just all around sounds good.

I think this was also about 40 billion a year, so 400 over ten years. When it comes to spending caps, that’s freeing 40 billion a year from this cap, that I’m not even sure works the way people are implying, but if it does that’s not really that much each year.

How likely will that "assault weapon" ban fail at the senate? They're trying to turn us into the UK. Also why do mass shootings happen around election cycles and summer and why do you think we been seeing these happen frequently?

The change didn't happen in the bill, the change came out of the Senate Budgetary Committee on how to finance the bill. The 280 billion in the PACT Act is additional spending to the 400 billion over 10 years that was allocated over a year ago. The 280 billion in the PACT act was always going to be direct spending, it is this way in both House and Senate versions, that isn't the problem the Republicans have. The problem is the Democrats in the Senate Budgetary Committee took the 400 billion/10 years given to the VA and moved that to direct spending, this frees up the entirety of the 400 billion dollars for the Democrats to fill it in with whatever pork they want. Republicans don't want this to happen because of inflation.

 

[Puff]

How likely will that "assault weapon" ban fail at the senate?

Highly. They need 60 votes and they have 49 reliable ones and maybe five probable.

They're trying to turn us into the UK. Also why do mass shootings happen around election cycles and summer and why do you think we been seeing these happen frequently?

No, but news coverage of them ramps up in election years.

It is DOA. The problem is the only thing stopping this from happening is the filibuster, if in November the Democrats gain 1 or 2 more seats, they will destroy the filibuster and ram this through the next time they have government. Democrats are playing the long game while Republicans are busy playing GOT between MAGA and RINOs.

And that Republican battle is important to ensure Democrats so not get that power. The Dems have ensured they are unelectable for now, so there is no better time for an internal party upheaval.

Filibuster removal is not the long game. It's the shortest sighted bullshit they could ever think of.

If you have this right, $400 billion can go a long way in a very contested Midterm. No wonder the GOP would tell them to fuck right off.

The GOP needs to get rid of the RINOs in order to do anything that might actually benefit Americans. Did you not pay attention during the stonewalling Trump had from RINOs in his first term?

Frankly I don't give a fuck how the wall gets built, its a net win for America that it does. I just hope it gets finished before orangeman gets back in office so I don't have to hear their bullshit for another 4 years.

Not buying the Covid story one bit. Honestly hoping the doctors can find whatever medical cocktail they need to keep Joe going for another 2 years, because we really don't need a 25th amendment situation going on right this moment.

When need the queen in office. It's HERstory in the making.
