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

 

[ForTheHoard]

Who the fuck is running things?

some shadowy cabal that nobody ever gets to meet

You answered your own question.

 

[pwnest injun]

There's a difference between "China could take over Taiwan" or "China could threaten the USA Militarily" and "China can be sufficiently less retarded than the USA to get better deals with trade." China trying to invade or blockade Taiwan would fuck itself, so, of course it won't. Why actually do something so stupid?

Because the population is stupid, and you have to meet them where they live. Managing people is about emotional manipulation first, and argument a distant second. China must be STRONK to fit their new nationalist Wolf Warrior contingent. That means swinging dick, even when it's going to make other nations a-scared.

the United states dollar has become a monster. The Fed prints a lot, everyone else prints more. so by comparison the USD is very safe and very stable and very attractive for storing wealth. and even with all the printing the FED cannot meet international demand. lots of International debts are dollar denominated. would Brazil accept south African rand's when they may not be able to convert it all to USD (because everyone else needs USD too?).

For USD to die all other fiats must die first, then something else will replace it. probably backed, and may well be the USD (in gold or whatever) again.

It's like people talking about colonizing Mars because of Climate Change. Nothing could possibly happen to the Earth to make it less habitable than Mars is and always will be. Nothing could happen to the USD to make the Yuan a more attractive currency for global trade.

I would be surprised if Kamala Is pulling a Dick Cheney and puppeteering everything behind the scenes. She doesn't have the brains to think up a scheme like that.

There are old stories of people convincingly acting like idiots who are really masterminds. The thought of Kamala successfully doing anything beyond boring the nuts off a brass monkey, however, is somehow itself so boring it's an insomnia cure.

And how is any of this different in the US of A?

The US can still, even now, hit the brakes on this and turn it around. The issue is no one wants to take on the mountain of assassins trying to do so. Just think about how many powerhouses you’d have to put in front of a firing squad (through legal means via sedition convictions) just to even THINK about having a handle on the corruption in this country. Now do you think these people are just gonna go down like a chump? No. Hell no. It wouldn’t be a civil war, but the sheer tension would make it feel like one.

EDIT:

and the entire cabinet is populated by people who couldn't brew a pot of coffee without written instructions.

You assume they can read!?

Damn that'll really stop the black people who keep on beating up hasids in Brooklyn and the Arabs who openly attack Jews in Manhattan then get released on sweetheart deals.

What secular US Jews don't seem to realize is that ultimately Jews are guests in the US the same way they were in Germany or in Arab countries before the farhud. As soon as the guests overstepped their boundaries as in the case of Weimar Jews or the governments policy changed as in the case of Jews during the farhud, citizenship and support from the government meant nothing.

How hard is it to sit inside mansions or NYC/LA bugpods and shut up?

This is actually correct. I recall an Israeli rabbi making more or less the same argument, based on the idea that Hitler hated many Weimar Jews because they only half-integrated. Either fully integrate and become part of the general culture (and thereby discard Jewish identity), or stand apart. Can't do it halfway.

 

[The Last Stand]

Wait, that doesn't even make sense.

 

[Vesperus]

Hanlon's Razor is a joke

So was Poe's law, Godwin's law, and Parkinson's Law.
That doesn't make them untrue.

 

[870EVO]

Or is it some shadowy cabal that nobody ever gets to meet with and is completely unaccountable?

We can go full tinfoil. But tinfoil seems to have not let me down so far...

To archer Douglas Adams on democracy:
If you don't vote for the right puppet, the wrong puppet might get in.

Jews were fully integrated in Weimar Germany and germany before that. Germany was the birthplace of the Jewish enlightenment which was led by Moses Mendelssohn and the Reform movement was founded there. The "enlightened" newly Reformed Jews, seeking to assimilate with the Germans, attacked Orthodox Jews and tried to outlaw the old religion. Germany had the highest rate of intermarriage between Jews and non Jews with the biggest secular Jewish population who valued the German state over their own religion. There was arguably no secular state that had Jews with such a history of assimilation since Weimar Germany until the modern USA. This is not exclusive to Germany by the way, France had the same issue but the Dreyfus Affair slapped sense into French/Austro Hungarian Jews particularly Herzl who went 180 degrees from promoting assimilation to founding Zionism. Only the intellectual Jews were stupid enough to continue on the path of assimilation.

That being said, even a Jewish grandparent would have sent a loyal Nazi to the camps unless he had an advantage in some area despite the Nazi not caring a whit about Judaism and such.

American Jews are facing the same thing and trying to assimilate while asserting their "jewish" identity, two things that are inherently opposite because:

1. As a Jew, it is impossible to assimilate in large numbers. People know you're a Jew by your name, your look, your circumcision, and by the way you act. People like Roy Cohn and Kissinger got to their high positions in spite of being Jewish, not because they were Jewish. That being said, individual families and people can play at assimilating due to money ie rothschilds or gain access to positions of power by a roundabout way for example the Jewish history of Hollywood and how hollywood funded a lot of Jewish politicians. However these high level politicians still have the smear of Judaism readily identifiable on them as can be seen by various pol infographics.
2. Jewish identity is meaningless without the religion which American Jews reject for the most part. All of Jewish identity is built on the shoulders of religion and once you take that away, you're removing the history of why you matter. With the religion, you can claim the Old Testament/Talmud with thinkers such as Maimonides and Nachmanides while being able to be proud of your people for holding on to their beliefs despite enduring so much hardship. If you separate being Jewish from this religious aspect, all you have left is victimhood. When you remove the righteous pride from a Jew, you're left with a snivelling kike. In the book Catch The Jew by Tuvia Tetenbaum, after spending a lot of time with sophisticated secular Jews in Tel aviv he goes and visits a religious Jewish settlement to speak with the settlers, he comes away with this impression:

I have met farmers before in my life, non-Jewish farmers in America and in Europe, and they talk more or less similarly and they will protect their lands the same way. But it is very strange, very uncommon, to listen to a Jew talking like this, like a normal “Goy.” These Jews – like Moses, his goats, and his Mormon loveliness – are not the normal Jews. Personally, I hardly get to meet conviction-driven Jews, say-what I-think Jews, farming Jews, if-you-slap-me-on-one-cheek-I’ll-slap you on-both-your-cheeks Jews. The Jews I know are neurotic Jews, weak Jews, self-hating Jews, hate-filled-narcissist Jews, accept every-blame Jews, bowing to all non-Jews Jews, ever guilt-ridden Jews, ugly-looking Jews, big-nosed and hunch-backed Jews, cold Jews, brainy Jews, yapping Jews, and here-are-both-my-cheeks-and you-can-slap-them-both Jews.

When you see a secular American Jew, you think of the latter and deservedly so. When you see the classic Israeli Jew, you think of the former. Both are secular so what's the difference?

The American Jew learned from Germany and while he is trying to make America a new Germany, he knows that the task is futile because of point 1. Furthermore, in the leftist game of idpol, he knows he cannot rely on point 2 because inside he knows that he is nothing but an identity with no soul. American Jews are abandoning non-Orthodox movements quickly and when questioned, the most common answer is that there's nothing special about being Jewish to them because they were shown the symbols of Judaism without any context of the meaning behind them. Why should they care? They also lose their caution and start going beyond their place as guests which as we've seen in Germany, doesn't end up well for anyone Jewish.

Meanwhile the classic Israeli Jew is a confident person who had to fight for what he has and doesn't hold anything for granted. While outwardly he's secular, he still goes to synagogue for the high holidays and he speaks the language of the Jews that's been passed down for millennia (yes hebrew was a dead language but it was used for liturgy and is the core of Jewish nationhood) instead of a language of another people. On a personal level, he doesn't have to worry about the whims of a government that's not his. The natural place for a Jew is one of struggle, the name of the Jews in our own language is Israel which means "One who struggles with God". The less we struggle, the more complacent and fucked up we get until we reach a tipping point where everyone is brought down by the actions of a few.

Hilariously this leads to anger from leftist American Jews instead of introspection. Whenever I write about this, I like to point to a comic written by Eli Valley, a classic example of the American Jew I'm talking about. He rages against the points that I make in the normal leftist infantile manner but makes my points for me through the clear insecurity seeping through the comic:

Spoiler: Israel Man and Diaspora Boy

this max nordau guy that he's seething over died in 1923 when Israel didn't even exist yet. He was a diaspora Jew himself who died in Paris. As far as I can tell, Eli is mad because Nordau advocated for a theory of muscular Judaism which criticized both Orthodox and secular intellectual Jews as being weak physically, wanting to replace them with a more athletic Jew. Eli, as a fat ass self hating Jew, took that personally.



Apologies for the rambling essay, cannot sleep and like to explain fully my theories. Disclosing my bias, I am a Religious Zionist.

 

[Florch]

Biden is inviting those dems that got expelled in Tennessee. But not the parents of the kids who got killed in TN, or the mayor of East Palestine. Or even going to the fucking southern border. God, fuck Joe Biden and his whole admin / party.

Look on the bright side. TPTB doing this guarantees that those parents and East Palestine will be radicalized against them. Then they'll be all "shocked Pikachu" when it happens.

You WILL be demoralised and you WILL enjoy it.

 

[ShitLurker]

Nigga, he's a news anchor whose audience is old people. He isn't the Pope.

True

He's the only thing on TV with an average viewer under 60.

and also true.

Tucker is a figure I'm... unsure of, he does talk about shit that nobody even wants to touch, but I still remember how he dropped the Hunter laptop story when it was starting and there were receipts about getting a recommendation to one of those faggot universities from Hunter to Tucker. I think he is part of the machine but he is used like a release valve since I see a lot of people bitching about it, but there is no active process of leaving him destitute and mired in eternal lawsuits like Alex Jones, but who the hell knows. I've just become distrustful of very public "based" figures.

Democrats stirring up trouble in a Southern state? What year is this?

[The Ugly One]

The biggest damage Biden has done is basically turn around and undo all kinds of overseas agreements.

It used to be that a deal made by one President would be honored by the next, to ensure any deals made by that President was honored by his successor.

But the Biden Administration flat out ran as fast as they could to undo or destroy any agreements, making America's 4-8 year schizophrenia look even worse to other nations.

They can't trust the US to hold to agreements any more.

Worse, this Admin seems like they'd sign and agreement, then go home, and repudiate the agreement the next day.

It's obvious Sniffy-Joe isn't running things, which makes foreign leaders wonder "Who the fuck is running things?" because he sure isn't.

is it Jill? Is it Kamala? Is it Miley? Or is it some shadowy cabal that nobody ever gets to meet with and is completely unaccountable?

Said this before - US Democrats regard Trump as an illegitimate President, and therefore can take a mulligan on anything he did. They assume the rest of the world sees Trump the same way, and not just as one more POTUS they were glad to see the last of. A deal has to be a deal. You can't welch on thing just because you hated the guy you took the handoff from.

And of course, when backing out on a deal, don't get caught with your pants down and make a mess of things(Afghanistan)

Don't forget Coulter's Law!

USA wants to pressure Israel to send arms to Ukraine as the Abraham accords fall apart and both syrians and Lebanese fire rockets into Israel. Meanwhile Israel is in a color revolution sponsored by the White House.
