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

 

[Drag-on Knight 91873]

Depends on "modern." Here are 3 strong contenders I can think of:

• Allowing the Marxists in the 70s to flee into Academia rather than rip that shit out by the roots after they bombed Congress et all.
• Cheap Cotton.
• Not listening to literally every other country who allowed them in and deciding "surely it's not them, the 108 other countries before us are just mean."

Not exactly modern, but I'd also add that as soon as women got suffrage, they immediately made alcohol--and fun--illegal while tricking men into fighting World War I. Thus creating organized crime.

Feminists might actually be worse than Hitler.

Trump should have just ignored how all his enemies had a dozen traps laid to and instead charged head first into the bait because the sheer righteousness of his actions would magically cause all of it to not work

tbf I can think of at least a couple of times Captain Harlock has basically done just that

 

[Capsaicin Addict]

It should be noted that even with all their extra-Constitutional (translated: fucking illegal and treasonous) safeguards in play, the swamp is still terrified as fuck of Trump making a triumphant return. They are NOT confident of being able to contain him a second time.

Because they have no fucking idea what he might do. They've done everything but actively try to assassinate him, and I wouldn't swear that's not on the table still. What happens if they botch an assassination? What happens if Trump's response is to start shooting back?

Maybe I'm overreacting, but shit, it definitely feels like we're teetering on the brink here.

It literally works with Trump because his opposition has been 3 ring circus since 2015.
When the people opposing you are defending hamas because you oppose them, the "traps" they set are "power-ups".

 

[The Ugly One]

If Trump ordered the NG to restore order to a US city and they didn't, he'd know within hours.

And then he would...?

 

[dustbuster]

And then he would...?

Fire them and have them court-martialed for insubordination?
(and if staff refused to do that, he'd fire them, too, and on and on until the enlisted ranks were promoted and became NCO's, and they fucking loved him)

 

[Gehenna]

Trump is critical of the war, certainly. His instinct is that the US should not be entangled in foreign wars, which I am sure a lot of people here agree with. However, I think his solution will not be to force territorial concessions from Zelensky. Instead, I suspect he will use the war for domestic advantage, by making continued material aid contingent on getting his wall finished, establishing tighter immigration rules, and dealing with other internal issues. His argument will be one that has been echoed here: if the US is protecting Ukraine's borders, why is she not protecting her own? Alternatively, he may choose to resolve the war by re-establishing the threat of personal consequences for Putin or his senior staff, but I think that's less likely.

Maybe lost in the spergfight above but still want to respond. I largely agree with the two paragraphs prior to this but on this one, I never said he'd demand concessions, I said Ukraine would lose support publicly. Trump is far more likely to simply say the war is not our problem, offer to mediate any thing between the two, then just drop funding and go full neutrality.

We gave them money and equipment, they have not succeeded, we have larger issues at home, so why should we support either side? Their prior good relations mean nothing when it's fundiementally not our problem.

The state of all those cuckservatives that BLM niggers rank lower on the totem poll than Arabian paragliding enthusiasts overseas.

When I go to the big city for business in the downtown district, I'm not looking around for Hamas. I'm counting how many niggers are on both sides of the road and choose the road of least probability of getting robbed.

What's both stupid and aggravating is that framing the whole shitshow as "not our problem" will be painted like he's the next gigahitler, once again.
The Biden admin is already leaning on Ukraine to work a deal out b/c we literally cannot afford to keep subsidizing this war and they'll still blame the nearest Republican for when that inevitably happens.

ZogCuctis should move to Israel.

And hopefully Hezbollah or Hamas give him the welcome that he deserves since he wishes to be the future Prime Minister of Israel.

I knew the guy was a psychopath when he did what he did in florida.
I had hoped him going balls deep with cultural issues and MAGA would compel him to remain committed, but I over-estimated his intellect.

Either that, or he has no ambitions beyond governor and the entire campaign is designed to launder as much money into hidden accounts for retirement as possible.

DeSantis has managed to burn through his mountain of political capital faster than Brewster did his millions.

 

[Screamer_2]

Sure but the point is that everyone thought Trump was going to win because of the riots in 2020 and they did nothing to help him in 2020.

I suspect the average democrat and swing voter didn't really know about the riots. If you told them about CHAZ/CHOP they'd have no idea what you are talking about and think you're talking some looney fake news things. The bubbles people are in to detach them from reality are insane.

 

[The Ugly One]

The President can't fire the National Guard or have anyone court-martialed.

(and if staff refused to do that, he'd fire them, too, and on and on until the enlisted ranks were promoted and became NCO's, and they fucking loved him)

The President can't generally fire anyone in the Federal government except the uppermost ranks. You have no idea how the US government works.

I had libs contact me, afraid because of Trumps Gestapo arresting black block rioters out of Scary Unmarked Minivans. They thought that the rioters were genuine good guys and they placed the rosy frame of abolitionists and integrationists right over the top of them. Like you say, they're insane. Completely and totally starved of true information.

Today I learned the president is not the commander in chief of the US armed forces.

You are officially retarded.

You're a retard who thinks the commander in chief does not command the US military.

Where exactly do you think the concept of "federalizing the guard" comes from?
It comes from article 2 authority of POTUS

 

[Weppers]

I would like to volunteer to have my funny joke deleted along with this entire autistic derail. I would also like to volunteer for a mutual week-long threadban along with everyone who started it.

Even on rumble and their funny numbers he didn't break 5k. Didn't click to see if he had chat while it was active




He was far from the top streamer on rumble.

Don’t you mean the Death Star of David?

How the fuck did Mel Brooks miss this joke?

Good on you!

They literally disobeyed and nothing happened. De facto he doesnt. Hawaiian judge will make it de jure.

Trump cant fire most federal employees. It took immense political capital to fire the fbi judge who did illegal wiretaps on him.

Trump is a independent candidate taking advantage that the Gop was too stupid or arrogant to rig their primaries to the degree the Dems do. Both parties want him gone.
