The only reason the GOP wins any elections at all is the Democratic Party's platform includes giving pedophiles access to children and allowing infinite migration from the most dangerous places on Earth.

Elizabeth Warren also claimed a recipe for crab cakes or something she copied from the New Yorker was a traditional Indian recipe passed down through her family. She lied.

You're glossing over why the soviets invaded Afghanistan to begin with. The new communist Afghan government had refused to become a Soviet puppet regime and was pursuing its own foreign policy objectives, which led to the Soviets attempting to do to Afghanistan what they had done to Czechoslovakia a decade earlier: Overthrow an allied, but independent government and replace it with a obedient vassal. The Afghan president believed that he was being invaded by the Americans until he was arrested. The Soviets overthrew him and installed their puppet regime, which led to the mujahideen rebelling against the new Soviet rule. Then the Americans stepped in, seeing an opportunity to destabilise a geopolitical enemy. They wouldn't have had that opportunity if not for the Soviets attempting to gain total control over the country first.

As always, you miss the forest for the trees. The United States didn't simply say "Oh hey those poor Afghans, lets help them out and and kick out the USSR". At the same time, conflict with the USSR was happening all over the world in:
  • Angola
  • Cambodia
  • El Salvador
  • Nicaragua
  • Honduras
Meanwhile at that time the US was simultaneously involved in direct conflict with the countries of:
  • Lebanon
  • Grenada
  • Iran
and I'm not counting all the spooks and crooks in places like Indonesia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and various African/South American nations as well as Eastern Europe. The only places an argument can be made such involvement was/is essential to our security is in the Americas (North, Central, South and Caribbean America) and the USSR failed to gain a foothold in any nation other than Cuba, so we were successful. Everything else are the degenerates in Europe whispering in our retarded elites ears that we should take up where the bongs and French fags left off so they too can live the Decadent Empire life and lord it over Americans serfs.

You yourself gloss over fact the US did the same exact thing the USSR did in Afghanistan, for the same reasons and with far more disastrous results so that it's clear we weren't there for any altruistic reasons but so we could score a win against the USSR and grab it for our idiot oligarchs.

In the House. Just kabuki theater. It now goes to the Senate which is 100% guaranteed to vote against removing him. The only folks that benefit from this shit are politicians/grifters on both “sides” who have/will fundraise/grift off of these proceedings.

Yeah, I can only assume it was the exact same bullshit 50 years ago, only that they had the veneer of "respectability" and weren't behaving like deranged chimps all the time. The whole religious right thing I just think of as a psyop at this point in time, I remember all of the "crusty old adults" shit in the 90s but looking back, where they really that influential? And before some fucker mentions the whole persecution of violent video games, that was a bipartisan thing.

Also, a kudos to @WelperHelper99 for getting everyone to chimp out for multiple pages like if HHH had come in to do a round. The only thing he had to do was be autistic and all of you went allllll in.

That was overwhelmingly the left which is the funny thing if you go looking back. Only republican I can think that hammered on it much was Kohl.

The rest was all Liberman / Hillary / Tipper, yeah Liberman flipped sides about 5-6 years later but at the time he was a dem.

Did she? I remembered her digging her heels in even further when the test indicated a tiny sliver of native ancestry

I recall even pundits and simps on her own side were like "oh no baby what u doin" when she tried to shut down her detractors by proudly showing she had like 1/1024th native ancestry

People like Omar and Talib are useful for keeping the progressive crowd in line. Same goes for Elizabeth Warren even though she lied about being a fucking Indian so she could get ahead at Harvard. Progressives don't care that she's worth over sixty million dollars on a congressional salary as long as she promises them she'll stick it to the corporations.

The GOP got rid of Santos because they were told to. He had absolutely no value to anyone and he risked alienating the only Jews willing to give the GOP money. That's all that matters to these "people" at the end of the day. If any donor told them to duct tape their dicks between their legs and told them to run around the White House lawn while covering themselves in peanut butter, they'd ask "Chunky or extra creamy?"

I really don't see the GOP making it to 2030. Trump may very well win '24 but he's not taking the party with him across the finish line.

I've heard more than a couple of state/county GOP leadership openly discussing the idea of completely cutting off from the national level party.
If Trump wins in 24 and declares the Buller Moose Party in his inaugural speech he'd probably have a good amount of lower ranked political class on-board, even the ones who aren't big on Trump know the RNC ain't gonna do shit for them no matter what and they can't fraud their way in like the big boys.

I guess the next civil will be like the last one, only it'll be the northern states that want to keep the slaves.

Nope. I gave the necessary context to how the US was able to do what it did. The Soviets allowed paranoia about an ally to dictate their actions and handed the US a perfect opportunity to use their mistake against them. If the soviets hadn't invaded Afghanistan, the US wouldn't have been able to use the subsequent rebellion in the hinterlands as a wedge.

At that time all of Southeast Asia was being fought over, overtly or covertly, reminiscent of the Great Game (it still is) but you fail to make a case exactly why it was essential, or even worthwhile, for the United States to do so other than "lol we scored one over the USSR, take that commies".

Of course, if you believe the MIC is America then I concede your point, but the vast majority of Americans don't see it that way, and have now reached the point they'd happily torch Lockheed and all the other defense contractors then isolate for a few years to repair the damage done by our feckless overlords.

Empire doesn't benefit the average American, and hasn't ever since Reagan and his neocon pals entrenched themselves in government.

Those are pretty good fucking reasons to win elections. Enough to make up half the electorate apparently.

The Democrats don't do jackshit for their base either they just use election fraud to win. Newsflash, both parties suck and have the same monetary policies which is spending absurb amounts of money.

The petty social issues are just used to distract people. It's not even a matter of which platform is better when it's painfully obvious which one is more appealing. The entire point is to keep people angry at each other and distracted.

This was the kind of guy they ousted. None of these assholes give two shits about anything and are just enjoying getting paid to do nothing.

The inventor of the ‘gold standard’ in cognitive tests suggested Joe Biden should take one as the controversy surrounding the president’s mental ability continues to swirl.

Questions over Biden’s mental decline soared above the fold of partisan fodder last week and can no longer be pinned on him just being a forgetful public speaker.

Special counsel Robert Hur concluded in his report that Biden did not remember when he was vice-president or within “several years” when his son Beau died.

Biden responded to the report by getting angry and shouting at reporters, claiming his memory was fine before then mixing up the leaders of Mexico and Egypt.

Canadian neurologist Dr. Ziad Nasreddine, who invented the ‘gold standard’ of cognitive tests, told the New York Post that all ageing politicians should take it.

“It’s a good thing that we assess cognition the minute there’s any suspicion about cognitive function,” said Nasreddine.

“If the test shows normal results, the likelihood of impairment is very low. Then everybody is reassured that this is maybe just normal aging — that we can all be forgetful and make mistakes. But it doesn’t mean that there’s a significant cognitive disorder happening,” he added.

The rich and famous are ready to bankroll the Biden campaign, according to federal disclosures. Accounting for all of its financial mechanisms, the Biden campaign entered 2024 with more than $100 million on hand.

President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign will rely on two main fundraising political action committees: Biden For President, his principal campaign committee, and Future Forward (FF) PAC, a hybrid PAC, along with a joint fundraising committee, the Biden Victory Fund.

As a hybrid PAC, FF PAC can solicit and accept unlimited contributions from individuals, corporations, labor unions, and other political committees, according to the Federal Election Commission (FEC). It must maintain two bank accounts: one for independent expenditures on advertisements or voter drives, and another for making direct contributions to federal candidates.

Biden Victory Fund is a nonqualified joint fundraising committee. According to the agency, that means it is a political committee working together with “one or more other political committees or unregistered organizations.”

A nonqualified fund, according to the FEC, can “receive limited financial and administrative support from a sponsoring organization that is not a corporation or a labor organization, such as a partnership or an unincorporated association.”

The three funds collectively took in about $262.6 million in 2023, according to their year-end reports filed with the FEC on Jan. 31. They spent about $157.8 million and had about $107.5 million on hand at the end of the year.

In terms of spending, Biden For President focused its expenditures on media buying and production. Two firms, Media Buying & Analytics LLC and Gambit Strategies LLC, were collectively paid more than $17 million.

Biden Victory Fund, for its part, sent huge sums to Biden For President, the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and state parties. Nearly $50 million was sent to Biden For President, while the DNC got more than $17 million.

The biggest donors chipped into FF PAC possibly due to limitations on how much can be given to the other funds. However, several notable donors sent nearly $1 million to the Biden Victory Fund.

After the Senate passed a $95 billion foreign aid package Tuesday morning, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) refused to hold a vote on it before Congress secures the southern US border first.

"We really do owe it to the American people to get control of that border," said Johnson.

In response, House Democrats are laying the groundwork to force a vote on it anyway using a rare procedural move known as a discharge petition, which would require at least 218 signatures - and the support of some Republicans, to bring the legislation up for a vote.

The package allocates $60 billion to Ukraine support, $14 billion in military assistance to Israel, $9 billion in humanitarian aid to Gaza and elsewhere, and around $5 billion to defend Taiwan.

In a letter to his colleagues, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said that the caucus would use "use every available legislative tool" to advance the bill, and called on "traditional Republicans" to support it.
