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

 

[George Lucas]

Calvinball Rules remember?

If they get the outcome they want it is set in stone, perfect and just. Progress, history made and righteous logic. If the outcome isn't the one they want they either complain it didn't count, insist there was sabotage, something was wrong with the process or they ignore and try again.

It seems to come down to a contempt for the current makeup of the court, but given what happened with Roe it’s clear that this court does not give a fuck about them not accepting their decisions.

The problem is delay and the fact that the court can only take on so many cases each session. A right delayed is a right denied. What’s the recourse? Noncompliance is the only legitimate option I can think of (and it is legitimate according to Jefferson and other founding fathers).

Trump gets a stay on the fag order in DC, three dems (obviously) put a hold and arguments will be heard 11/20. It wouldn't surprise me if the appellate (rightly) slap down the fag order just because they realize Jamaican Judge is being so blatant it makes it much easier to reverse on appeal.

Eventually what the court will do is start issuing a ton of per curiam opinions dealing with appellate courts straight up ignoring its prior rulings, and issuing them in an expeditious fashion, which will make the left seethe even harder. This will probably take a few more years of appellate courts ignoring binding precedent. Eventually Alito and Thomas and Gorsuch will be able to appeal to Roberts on institutional grounds and he will bring Kavanaugh and Barrett with him. On cases like this one the middle 3 justices are all going to look down on a circuit court giving them the finger anyway. They'll just take their time in doing it, which will change in the future if circuits keep up with this kinda bullshit

 

[The Ugly One]

He talked like trump and pissed all the right people off (his main thing was ending the teacher's pension plan which is sinking the state's budget. big time) but lacked the charisma that Trump has. so he lost, but only by the skin of his teeth.

He criticized teachers, which made Kentuckians lose their minds, because in their minds, a teacher is cherry-cheeked woman who dedicates her life to making sure children learn arithmetic, not a brain-addled THOT who wants to teach second-graders about cross-dressing. Plus people from that region of the country like the fantasy that their local Democrats are somehow different from national Democrats, and not Soros Marxists with an aw-shucks coat of paint.

that truly depends on where you are. big town? probably actual liberals. rural farm town or mining town? They're democrats because their daddy was a democrat and his daddy before and his daddy before and his daddy before . . . .
other than the (D) next to their name on the ballot they are generic republicans in practice. that's how it is in my home town. we do have some loonie left types but the nice thing about living in a small town is everyone knows everyone which means none of these people will get close to county office. once you get into the state level offices, the demographics skew republican by a large amount (the dems only hold 27 seats in both houses combined).

 

[Easy J]

Bankman-Fried ripped off a lot of Jews and ruined the reputation of cryptocurrency to where other Jewish financial schemes are temporarily halted. It’s why the book got thrown at him and Bernie Madoff. Ripping off goyim is fine but he got too greedy and fucked with Jewish finance. That’s when the sentencing gets serious.

I also half-suspect that getting sensitive legal shit like this handled while they control the institutions is a good idea for them.

You wouldn't want to lose power with a bunch of still-open cases that could do more damage if investigated properly (like the Hunter Biden laptop stuff).

It'll at least look purely political if the other side gains power and finds an angle to reopen it later.

I'm not sure what exactly happened, but in the past week or so I've went from 0 to 8 or 9 Trump fundraiser emails a day. Corresponded with some of the RINOs dropping out, too. Makes me wonder if they've decided to fall in behind Trump begrudgingly cause the other side is literally running Pro-Hamas rallies in American cities.,

Hey guys, I was going on a bit of a nostalgic game spree and while playing Shattered Union, I realized how similar the intro is with what's going on.

Thoughts?

I'm just surprised that the GOP didn't go "OH NO, Trump can't be a candidate, he's being investigated for super serial reasons!" so he may actually be the Republican candidate. But I don't doubt they won't keep sabotaging his campaign from the inside.

 

[St.Davis]

This argument is so fucking retarded anyone can point out it is obviously not true.

The constitution intended for the citizens to have the same arms as the Army. So as long as the Army has a gun similar to it they have a right to it.

No, you conservatard, you simply don't understand. The founding fathers were imbeciles who had no concept of technological development, so they thought flintlocks were the apex of firearms technology, and so clearly the constitution is intended to only protect contemporary firearms.

I'm screenshotting your post and putting it on r/(insert relevant lib subreddit) as we speak.

 

[XYZpdq Jr.]

7th Circuit just ruled that ar-15's are not "arms" protected by the constitution.
Time for the supreme court to put up or shut up.

is there some sort of history of, say, a rabid goat, or whatever being ruled "not arms"?
this sounds exceptionally exceptional even for grasping at legal straws

 

[George Floyd Sneed]

The left just keeps passing anti-gun laws because they hope they can find the right jewdiciary that will accept their argument as valid. Thats ultimately the difference between the left and the right. Makes you wonder why the right isn’t working to overturn more things from the left after Roe v. Wade (that’s a rhetorical question, we all know why).

>an unpopular president gets elected twice, partly due to legal sidestepping of electoral processes; massive political unrest
OK, this tracks so far
>D.C. gets nuked
LOL, if only we were so lucky.

If the USA can ever escape the current political crisis relatively unscathed there really should be an amendment making judge positions open for election or at least give them a term limit. The original idea the the Founding Fathers supported that believed that the federal judiciary would be insulated from the temporary passions of the public and apply the law with only justice in mind has been massacred by activist judge after activist judge.

 

[Jaimas]

This one really fucking pissed me off.

Some activist clowns spraypainted dozens of fucking feeder rats, then threw them by the boxful into a restaurant, where they will be fucking killed.

I don't understand modern activists. This is the kind of shit that not only doesn't fucking work, it actually turns the normies against you. So if the goal was convincing the people at that McDonalds that Palestine deserves to be fucking glassed, fission mucking accomplished I suppose.

 

[dustbuster]

There is no "unscathed"

A vast number of our national monuments are already destroyed.
The various public statues and fountains were the collective contribution of our captains of society for 200 years and are gone.
The cities burned have not recovered.
The sane realized what time it was and moved out, leaving the neurotic tumblrites and their pet feral invaders behind.

This is no longer about "escaping unscathed", this is about pushing through and restoring what has been torn down.
To classify this as "conservative" is a category error, which is why there is tremendous upheval in the GOP as reactionaries out for reconquista of our country work to shove the 'conservatives' who failed out of the way so they can get on with it.

>D.C. gets nuked
LOL, if only we were so lucky.

If 9/11 had happened any time after 2015, I would have been throwing a celebratory barbecue over the crushed and burned urban parasites, and would have lamented their failure to smuggle something more potent in.

It's the same blind spot the Founders had regarding term limits in general. They simply could not conceive of anyone who'd want to spend that much time away from their 'normal' life. What they missed was the prospect of people who would make politics their 'normal' life

For the love of God no, absolutely no. The left is much much much better organized and better funded than the right.

Literally the only thing preventing the left from replacing every conservative judge in the country with open Communists is the fact that most positions are for life and they can't flood the inner cities with free crack and cash vouchers in exchange for voting out conservative judges like they do with district attorneys.

Jesus fucking Christ no, this is one of the worst "conservative" ideas that needs to be squashed every time it rears it's ugly head.

Term limits are an excellent way to forcibly expel the few honest men who make it to D.C.
They absolutely ensure that even more of congress will be owned by foreigners with sacks of cash, because every few years a new person must have "name recognition" financed, and we know who pays the bills for that kind of astro-turfing.

Term limits are the same kind of poison "campaign finance reform" is.
They present it as a way to reduce the influence of evil people, but we KNOW how "campaign finance" laws are used:
Anyone who donates against "social justice" gets doxed via "legally required donor records" and subjected to systematic life ruination by every lever of power available from the DOJ and IRS to antifa thugs committing arson.

It's not just the "whales", either.
For several years after the 2016 election, there was a twitter account called "every trump donor" that was posting the full names and addresses of every citizen who donated, even a few dollars, to Trump.
