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

Hard to say. If one side has much more disenfranchisement than the other that would be the best motivator to spur change, but realistically both parties are struggling in that area. If a million R's and a million D's don't show up to vote, who cares? If a million R's vote D, that's going to scare the shit out of people.

Or maybe it won't change anything and the republicans will continue graciously losing until they're neck in neck with the libertarians. But if voting is that meaningless in the first place then, it literally doesn't matter.

If voting becomes completely pointless, I plan to find these smug pricks ruining this country (who all have names and addresses BTW) and give them a big ol' hug because love changes hearts and minds

Looks like Alex Jones hosted a 2024 Presidential Contender.

I'm pretty sure not voting sends a bigger message tbh

Does it though? I mean, they will just stop talking about voting percentages or hell, have the media outright lie about them (there are never consequences so no worries there). Some footage from the 3 places with entusiastic voting plus some staged ones and bam, all is fine and dandy.

Closing thoughts.

IMO. He doesn't come across as a liar or mastermind or anything really. The only thing he does project is a dude who stumbled into pants that were too big for him but his "can do spirit" made him hold his pants up the entire day. That isn't to say the folks under him are less a bafoon than he.

Yeah no here's the truth.
His parents got him this job, then embezzled funds into it, then their friends did it, then those friends, then magically the whole DNC cabinet is involved - then their RINO cuckbuddies. Creating an ouroborous of taxpayer money in a more contrived version of a shell game. With them running off with all our money.

One of them thinks he's hot, therefore they both have sex or some shit.
And then reality claps all their asscheeks and now they're in full DFE mode while journalists suck off their cocks as a delaying tactic.
It's happened so often it isn't even surprising anymore.

He might be a retard but he's still part of the incestuous machine fucking us over, I don't give a shit about his 'can do' attitude.

Fuck off. MAGA could have Jesus Christ himself and you'd still say the same thing.

Just because it gets old


I'm mostly a Paleocon who hasn't had political representation since Pat Buchanan, who is probably before some of our younger posters' time, I am a politically cynical and pessimistic old ass who thinks the republic is dead, but you will never see me Blackpill and give in to despair over it. To quote the late Dr. Jerry Pournelle, Despair is a Sin, and I still firmly believe there's enough greatness left in America and Americans for a second wind. It won't be easy and it won't be pretty and it'll never be what the American Experiment was, but I'll not give in to the people who have learned helplessness and defeat. Take a break from the "Notice and Move On" crowd, the nation can survive, even if the state is a vegetable on life support.

Listen to this man, for he has endured shit you cannot imagine. A statement such as his carries weight.

I'm not that old, although I feel like it sometimes, but I was always a bit of a politisperg, but being even paleo-leaning was not kosher in a lot of post-Reagan neo-con circles. The Rots goes back further than a lot of people would like to think, and the remains of the good times of the 80s covered up a lot of it creeping in in the 90s.

There's a reason the Paleos were written out of "polite" conservative circles, and it's crippled the American Right ever since.

Appeals court overturns special master review of records found at Trump's Mar-a-Lago

A federal appeals panel overturned the order creating a third-party special master to review 11,000 documents seized at Mar-a-Lago, clearing investigators to use the records in the criminal investigation of former President Donald Trump.

“Plaintiff’s task was to show why he needed the documents, not why the government did not,” the three-judge panel ruled in dismissing Trump’s case. “He has failed to meet his burden under this factor.”

The judges had told Trump’s lawyers during oral arguments that the traditional way to challenge what becomes part of an investigation through a government seizure is to challenge the evidence after charges have been filed. But judges said challenging the seizure at this point would only be allowed in response to the callous disregard for constitutional rights, which Trump never alleged.

“He makes arguments that if consistently applied – would allow any subject of a search warrant to invoke a federal court’s equitable jurisdiction,” the panel ruled. “Our precedents consistently reject this approach.”

The order from the three-judge panel said absent a stay from another appeal, the decision would go into effect in seven days. Trump could potentially appeal to the Supreme Court.

The special master, U.S. District Judge Raymond Dearie, had expected to complete his review by Dec. 16. But the department appealed the order that created his assignment because he could have potentially blocked access to documents as part of the criminal investigation.

The decision came less than two weeks after Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Jack Smith as a special counsel to oversee the investigation into Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his unauthorized transfer of classified documents to Mar-a-Lago after he left the White House.


Trump's lawyers won approval of the special master in U.S. District Court because of arguments the 11,000 documents could contain records that are personal or fall under attorney-client or executive privilege.

But Justice Department lawyer argued the special master review was unwarranted and the time to challenge seized evidence is after criminal charges are filed. Government lawyers blocked from using non-classified documents in their investigation appealed to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

A previous three-judge panel had already overturned part of U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon's order creating the special master by allowing the Justice Department to continue investigating about 100 classified records during the review.

During oral arguments last month, the three-judge panel questioned whether Trump sought special treatment in the case and whether other targets of investigations would also seek special masters to review their searches.

The panel of Chief Judge William Pryor and Judges Britt Grant and Andrew Brasher also questioned why Trump hadn't challenged the lawfulness of the search.

James Trusty, one of Trump's lawyers, told the judges he wasn't trying to open the floodgates for all targets of investigations to get special masters. But he said Trump deserved consideration as a former president who was being investigated by the administration of a political rival.

FBI agents in August seized 11,000 documents at Mar-a-Lago as part of a criminal investigation for evidence of violations of the Espionage Act or obstruction of justice .

Trusty said Dearie was still considering whether about 930 disputed documents are personal or fall under claims of executive privilege.

Sopan Joshi, a lawyer in the Solicitor General's office, said Tuesday that Trump had shown no need for the documents, but that he already has copies of all but about 100 classified records. Joshi also said Trump made no argument the search authorized by a neutral federal magistrate was unlawful.

“What he wants is to prevent the government from using the documents,” Joshi said.

I feel it is weird we have to just accept that the president of france is married to be a pedo. He was like 15 when she started grooming him.

Not saying its ok, but its sad that I consider that tame compared to the all other other pedo shit out there in our government.

Its also pretty much par for the course in France, depressingly. We joke about French libido but god damn is that one of those jokes that strikes truer than most.

Seriously, IDGAF if barely anything changes on Twatter, just the hypocritical self-righteous seething from the act alone is hilarious.

Okay. Now do pedophilia. If Silence is complicity, you should speak out against this horrible shit. I'll wait.

Maybe censoring people for calling out the Jews isn't the right idea. Metokur had the right idea. Like mass shooters, mock em. Just show that clip of Ye using a net on a stick to mock the PM of Israel.

If mocking doesn't work, just ignore em. But of course, they want people to be radicalized. They want to slowly turn the people over to their side so they have carte blanche to take people's rights away.

Meanwhile, another genocide is currently taking place in China. By this logic, Biden's silence is complicity (but we already knew that).
