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

 

[Jet Fuel Johnny]

Leftists would love for Trump fans to start using that since they can bring up the whole thing about Trump avoiding the draft.

I love reminding the Leftists that it was the Vietnam War, and NOBODY wanted to go to that shit show.

All of their idols sure as shit dodged the draft or escaped.

Plus, I can dust off the whole "Bone spurs can result in you getting medically separated from service. Foot bone spurs prevent you from marching. He'd have just been medically separated in Basic Training."

It's funny to hear leftists screech about that one.

Perhaps I'm not articulating my point as well as I would wish to, but what I'm getting at is that they're relatively decent at using points (it doesn't matter if they're rooted wholly in reality) to rally their own and to use the media to sow seeds into many average people on the Right, particular boomers (who the Right needs to have any hope to win anything in politics.)

What I mean is that the draft dodging point is kind of like when Left wingers will try to do the whole "neener neener" playground thing of accusing someone on the Right of being gay, thinking that the average Right wing position is to have a seething hatred of gays. To those in an online bubble it's pretty ineffective, but on the Right, again especially against the older demographics, these sorts of tactics are more effective than they should probably be.

It might be a very trivial thing, but it's an unnecessary and avoidable rake to walk into.

I wouldn't be surprised if Trump pulled someone from his own corporate sphere to be Vice President. Given the state America will be in he'll probably get a bankruptcy financial expert.
Tucker Carlson would be of better use staying independent and slowly building his own media empire. I haven't paid much attention to the other three.

America files for Chapter 11. Then China owns Fort Knox.

Let them come and claim it. I'd love to watch the results.

And Donalds is a 2nd-term Congressman with almost zero name recognition. What is with this constant desire from Republicans to want to draft freshmen politicians into the Presidential seat?

he's got a young look to him, he's black, and he's been getting himself in the spotlight a lot lately

but yeah whoever Trump picks, traditional wisdom is you go for something you aren't, so that's why he had the relatively normal and boring religious conservative style in Pence
you already have one Trump-like guy on the card in Trump, you can hedge your bets with a different sort of person in the VP slot

Alternatively, he runs with a Trump-like guy as his VP who is significantly younger, cementing MAGA / Right Wing Populism in the US as something that isn't going to go away if they can just burn Trump hard enough.

Noem has already proven to have a spine of jelly when it comes to standing up to the Tranny cult, showing that like the rest of the GOP she would rather cater to the sensibilities of the Corporate Donor Class than address the concerns of her fucking constituents.

And Donalds is a 2nd-term Congressman with almost zero name recognition. What is with this constant desire from Republicans to want to draft freshmen politicians into the Presidential seat? Is it because it worked for Barack Obama, and they think if they just find some charming enough junior Congressman or Governor who's only been in office for a year or two that they'll get the same results? It's as stupid as when they were constantly trying to find "The Next Reagan" who had the same charisma and would repeat the platitudes of the '80 Campaign, rather than trying to find a candidate that actually understood and was willing to address the very real problems the country was facing or concerns the voting base had right now.

It’s because new people who rode the MAGA train and have remained loyal (and who haven’t been hit with heavy bullshit like Gaetz or Hawley) are seen as being more pure than long term swampers. We’ve seen what that gets with Judas Pence and Trump trying an olive branch with the Bush family with people like Barr.

Donalds also puts a slight check on white women by putting their social media vanity on blast. Kamala has shown to be an absolute dud and here's a nice interracial family with kids who are respectful and not shitheads, Copmala can't point to that with her barren womb and creepy daughter in law.

I would love for Lake to be VP, but she needed a win. Now if somehow SCOTUS magically intervenes on everything and cleans the indictment slate on Trump I say let her on for VP. But right now Trump/Donalds, with RFK as a confirmed cabinet member on education, agriculture or even interior, Vivek as treasury or commerce, would be a serious statement of change and win a lot of people over.

[XYZpdq Jr.]

RFK as a confirmed

RFK is a confirmed loonie who wants to lock up people who disagree with Climate Change (tm)
he would alienate voters like Lieberman's video game banning antics alienated enough possible Gore youth votes to get him just outside of dem cheating range

Ted Nugent. No one would assassinate Trump with VP Nugent.

 

[George Floyd Sneed]

Kris Kobach would’ve been perfect to lead the future of nationalist populism after Trump but he got ratfucked hard by the GOP instead. They did that nigga dirty.

 

[Snekposter]

Hmm.... KiwiFarms who do you think will be Trump's VP?

Honestly? Ted Cruz has a shot. The Democrats would absolutely flip their lid at the GOP getting "first Hispanic VP", Texas would be an even more guaranteed lock yet because the Dems can't help but throw good money after bad they'd dump a goddamn fortune into Texas to desperately keep up the façade that its going to go blue any election now. He's got a lot of ties in the Senate and could do a decent job handling the more... sensitive ones there, and before anyone asks, yes he's a snake, but I see decent chances of him becoming Trump's snake so long as the man can lay down the law on him. With him out of the Senate Abbott gets to appoint his successor, and Abbott is starting to come around to the MAGA way of doing things. He's kept up the busings despite these places screeching about how they're overwhelmed, probably because nothing is music to a Texan's ears quite like the impotent howling of New York City.

Politically Cruz is probably the best choice for Trump. Not the lolsiest (since that would be Ye), but still a solid one.

Let's just start throwing random VP suggestions.


Pat Buchanan. Rand Paul. Bo Gritz. Micheal Flynn. Alex Jones.

Cruz is part of the swamp. But he's great at acting as the GOP foil. I remember when he was doing a standard press BBQ campaign thing. And Ellen Page came out of nowhere and just started arguing with him about LGBTQ, and he blew her ass out in front of everyone. While eating a pork sandwich. (Ellen Page is Vegan)

I liked how he was able to lean into the Zodiac memes at least

Nah, he's too old. Get Mr. Rock in there. No, not The Rock; KID Rock.

 

[Maverick Vile]

At this point I expect they'll shuffle in Pence, that fucking Judas, in an attempt to have a decent candidate they think has a shot.

Pence decided to douse his political career in gasoline and set it on fire when he told Tucker Carlson in an interview that he cares more about the corrupt shithole Ukraine more than the country he wants to pretend to lead.

"It's not my concern" would turn into a meme torpedo that sinks Pence the moment he runs for fucking anything. All his enemy would have to do is play that on loop and he's done. That tonedeaf jackass won't get elected dog-catcher outside of massive electoral fraud. Like, "we didn't even count the votes but just trust me, bro. Pence won" level of fraud, but maybe they will run him since the cathedral doesn't even pretend voting matters anymore. It will be very blatantly obvious he got cheated into the white house if he wins, though. It'd be hard to even get the cattle to vote for Pence after that dismissive response to a legitimate question.

Tucker: Hey, Pence, you're thinking about running for President, anything you'd like to say to the voters?

Pence:

 

[The Ugly One]

The fuck is even the point? To look like complete retards while they have to spout UFO bullshit to stop people from being pissed?

The point is to be able to steal from the rivers of cash that flow through Washington and have access to all the underage kids they can rape.
