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

Primary day in AZ, WA, MO and MI. Let Joe Kent use righteous anger to smite his enemies enough they trans out and 41%.

I want to be optimistic for today's results in WA, but the fact that COVID's bullshit created a diaspora out of King County (that I was part of), and that I received my King County ballot alongside the one for my new place of residence despite already updating my registration and voting in local elections this spring, tells me shenanigans might be afoot.

They was a suggestion to the maga politicians. The uniparty would never get rid of them. but most likely would have to be done state by state.

Wisconsin passed a ton of election security laws under Walker. When the Democrats won control of the government again, they simply broke all of them, because there is nobody to prosecute.

Primary day in AZ, WA, MO and MI. Let Joe Kent use righteous anger to smite his enemies enough they trans out and 41%.

Slappy off to the library in 5 to hand-deliver our ballots. Always do it this way, even though they are mail in. Drop 'em right in the box at our polling place, no fuckery. (That I know of.)

Looks to be tight here in AZ, although Lake was up by 18 points last week, news last night put it at Robson ahead by 1. I attribute that to RINO fuckery. Guess we'll see. I'll post up later as results start coming about 8 pm AZ time.

Let's hope the Trump endorsements here have the same great success record.

Should Donald Trump decide to run again, he could definitely inspire his political base, but at what cost to the rest of the party? And what Republican can possibly run, beat Trump in a primary and get the Trump voters to jump on his or her bandwagon? It’s not as easy as it sounds.

DeSantis. That's if he runs in 2024, which I don't think he is.

 

[mandatorylurk]

It looks like Brnovich in AZ realizes he's done and is going to lash out and pretend Cyber Ninjas was the real problem:



He picks the item that potentially could be the most easily dispelled and tries to make it a dunk on the AZ state senate. Gonna do anything about Maricopa ignoring orders for months, tough guy? I know all you do is just write letters.

So, does anybody have "Chinese Distraction" on their bingo card? I'm still of the opinion that nothing much serious will come of it. Don't get me wrong, if the Admin pokes the Taiwanese Independence issue too hard, we will get a reaction out of China. But I don't think that is going to happen. The Chinese have paid their puppets too well.

..... What if they are paying Pelosi to do it?

Bingo, killing any leader of ISIS besides Bin laden results in a grand total fuck all bum. Its about a single percent for about 3 days then disappears. This counts for Trump to.

Well, Bin Laden went all in on the “Death To America” angle after 9/11, and he was already known to be a guy who will do anything to violently murder Uncle Sam. ISIS was more of the worldwide caliphate and retaliation for Middle East Intervenion, more so than Bin Laden if you ask me.

Also, ISIS was more hitting Europe than the US in the 2010s, and of course we’re more divided now than we were in 2001.

PayPal Unfreezes Moms for Liberty Funds After DeSantis Announces Crackdown on ‘Woke’ Banking

Spoiler: BIG RONNIE DESANTIS

TALLAHASSEE (FLV) – Moms for Liberty said PayPal unfroze the money in the group’s account following Gov. Ron DeSantis’ announcement last week that Florida would crack down on “woke” banking.

Moms for Liberty was founded in 2021 by parents and former school board members. Their mission focuses on defending parental rights with a massive grassroots network of parents across the country.

Moms for Liberty Co-Founder Tina Descovich said the organization had operated on PayPal for more than a year before running into the most recent problems.

Many of their donors would give monthly automatically through PayPal. However, Descovich said PayPal sent notifications that they froze the organization’s accounts during Governor DeSantis’s speech at Moms for Liberty National Summit July 15th.

“While he’s speaking, I started getting emails during that PayPal has stopped processing one by one all of our monthly donors,” Descovich said.

PayPal also froze the organization’s $4,500 and would not let them transfer the money out. PayPal told Descovich that they could not operate on the platform until the IRS approved the organization’s paperwork. However, Descovich said they PayPal had already accepted the paperwork they filed with the IRS, which is backlogged, in January of 2021.

“I emailed,” Descovich explained. “I tried calling again and get another person and they said sorry, there’s nothing you can do.”

PayPal suddenly released the funds after Governor DeSantis’ press conference announcing he wants legislation passed to prohibit transmitters like PayPal from discriminating against customers for their religious, political or social beliefs. Descovich had spoken about her PayPal experience at the press conference.

“I do think it helps. I have no other explanation why I have no messages from PayPal that they reversed anything. I have not sent them any more documents to change the status,” Descovich said. “So the only thing I have to point to is that they saw the governor’s press conference and decided to change their minds.”

The governor also wants the proposed legislation to apply to Wall Street banks and credit card companies.

“They’re using things like social credit scores to be able to marginalize people that they don’t like,” DeSantis said Thursday.

Because what DeSantis holds is genuine power. He has both the authority and the political backing to make his threats reality, especially when the average person on the street would actually agree with the idea. Even if his rules would only apply in Florida, thats a huge amount of ecommerce still, and the Paypal investors would riot if they tried to cut services there, it'd be a financial kneecapping. And since it'd be prohibitively difficult to apply hard lines between the states, Paypal's only realistic compliance measure would be to greenlight it across the board.

I also think it indicates that there is nothing on DeSantis. There is no dirt. There are no skeletons. They tried to throw that psychopath at him and he just rolled on.

The MSM is not even trying to smear him really anymore. Kicking the mouse in the nuts probably put the fear of god into them and it should have because people supported him.

Imagine a politician you cannot smear or bring endless credible accusers against. The bricks they are shitting must be massive.

Do not get me wrong I am not flying a flag for the man or trusting him but I find the fact that the MSM has not been trying harder to obliterate him very interesting.

DeSantis is both the governor of one of the most populous states in the country and has shown with Disney that he won't back down to private mega-corporations and will use his authority to crack down on them.

As @Kuritan Deplorable already pointed out, PayPal being unable to do business in Florida would be crippling and it's easier to just take the L and greenlight this across the board.

Now imagine what could happen if more of these governors follow DeSantis's example

It goes a bit beyond that, you are not considering the larger picture.

Trump is likely to win the next presidential election, DeSantis by now has fairly clearly chosen to back trump and not stand against him despite the Demcorat's and Endangered Rino's best attempts.

So what do these two things have to do with Paypal and policy in Florida? Well, look at the politics -of- Florida.

Florida... -isn't- a red state, despite the rowing you see about it. it is -deep- purple, a near perfect split of Democrat and Republican... so how did Trump win by such a wide margin? Well, by absolute broad appeal to the middle, and without the entrenched voting patterns of other purple states like Wisconsin. For all my love of my home state, Wisconsin has a long history of voting Blue and a lot of old dog Democrats. Its purple, but with an ideological lean towards Dems.

Florida is straight down the middle, no lean, and that means its representative of the country at large. And the independents and moderates swing harder for Trump by the day. But most importantly on a national stage, any policy which is met with wide acclaim in Florida likely would see wide acclaim nation wide. This makes Florida a perfect testing bed for policy. Policy... which will be adopted and made federal policy.

So you have a governor, whose state will be looked at for policy approval, who has chosen to ally himself with -the- major presidential candidate... who in turn has a helluva grudge.


The bank thing isn't a threat to businesses in Florida, its a threat to businesses -in America at large-.

It’s weird you mention how DeSantis has no baggage since the guy looks like the next white whale the Democrats will go after once Trump is vanquished. If DeSantis has no scandals or baggage, they’ll manufacture it by hook or by crook. And push to get 2020 rules as a major thing to stop him. In any position he runs for.

I cannot wait for this bitch to get blown the fuck out this fall and sheepishly carpet-bag her way to New York or some other extremely swampy district to return to national politics.
Nothing, and I mean nothing, has been funnier than watching the Boomer Democrats who wanted to turn her father over to the Hauge to be tried for war crimes rationalize how great the Cheneys are now.

Well, now you know the power of going against Trump and being the face of holding him accountable for 1/6 can get you. As for blowouts, given how much Wyoming gets flack, I don’t see 2020 rules being much of an issue there.

The US military has never officially claimed him dead, but this will be the 5th time somebody has.

I haven’t seen this much hand wringing since the talk of Bin Laden’s body.

Given Los Angels is a land of true believers with gated mansions that need maids and gardeners and Nannie’s and toilet cleaners, I’m not surprised in the slightest.

You didn't hear my "AAAAAAAAA" on the other page? I want to hype it up, but I will keep my stance that the United States is not going to do jack shit. China's "threat" is nothing more than political theater to position their puppets.

Goddamn, I hate how fucking pig-asshole sucking ignorant the fucking politicians are.

NEVER think these people are geniuses.

Is a lot of what they do out of maliciousness? ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY. Is a lot of it done out of fucking stupidity? YES!

Here's the thing, both sides are completely stuffed with idiots so fucking stupid it'd give you a stroke.

Everything they do is covered by greed, narcissism, egotism, horrific ignorance, breath taking stupidity, and endless maliciousness.

They think everyone else is too stupid to understand what they know, not that they're dumber than fuck. They think they're smarter, more ruthless, more clever, and tougher than everyone else.

Which is why you should hate them.

The fact that Wyoming elected a certified retard in the first place is one of the strongest arguments against democracy I've ever heard. We're a nation of retards, electing retards. We very much deserve the government we have.
