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

 

[mandatorylurk]

Nice, just to delay it is a big win.

This means the NYC case is going to be the most forced, gayest thing you've ever seen, the culmination of all the stinkditch and furry commissions ever made. They will ram that case through even if aliens attack just to get it done before November.

So Trump is so bad that they won’t allow him to take out loans? Except to cover the cost of a legal fight that wants to ban him from loans? What?

Can that be used in his defence? If I’m so bad why are they letting me take out a loan to pay for this? If they are accusing me of avoiding paying why are they giving me another loan they expect me to pay?

A loan he’ll likely get from the same bank he ‘defrauded’ knowing Trump.

Looks like the puppeteers behind Biden are still striving to milk what ever they can before Russia over runs Ukraine

"Discussions have begun in the Pentagon regarding the transfer to Ukraine of reserve presidential funds (~4 billion), which allows the Pentagon to use its own reserves to send military equipment to Kyiv", — СNN

I guess somehow the President has a reserve fund that he can use for whatever he wants? $4 billion is a hellva lot of money for a petty cash fund.

talk about sunk costs when the 4 billion comes and goes and ukraine is just as fucked what then? I guess one good thing about the biden regime is they're not long term thinkers that's 4 billion they could be putting to more fortification in november.

edit: never mind I'm a retard I forgot most of that probably just ends up laundered back to the DNC in one form or another

Nah, its more that an attempted weaponization of the legal system was struck down as being a step too far. They're trying the same thing they did to Alex Jones, levy a retarded level fee for something, then forbid any reasonable way to deal with it explicitly to maximize the harm to the accused, rather than any effort at justice. If Trump can't borrow the money, they can force him to liquidate assets instead would be the plan, and then the state can pick his shit up and flaunt it as a victory.

His attempt at defense is meaningless as they've already crossed the line of writing new law just to justify prosecution. If he had something solid they hadn't covered yet, they'd just amend it away from him again.

And the same people will feign shock and anger should Trump and his supporters exact any kind of revenge if the former is re-elected.

but, know he won't due to optics & mehanism in Washington.

Actually at this point, I wonder if the plan is to just try and prevent Ukraine collapsing on Bidens watch. They already have "Lost one war" under their belt from completely fucking up Afghanistan, they don't need "Lost a war in Europe" added to the list of attacks against Biden in the election season as well. If they can keep the country alive until January, then it either dies under Bidens last term where its irrelevant, or it dies on Trumps plate and they can use that to try and attack and obstruct him internationally as "who wants to make a deal with someone who lets his allies collapse?". And if they do lose after blowing these apparently discretionary presidential funds, they also get to deny Trump a few billion dollars for whatever his plans turn out to be.

Seems like a really weird prioritization, but all the different arms of the cabal are going every which way, doubt there's much coordination or cohesion left.

its weird I would have thought they would have a ukraine L covered as "well we tried but the evil republicans stopped us from winning and we can't stop them because democracy"

not that I want to give them any ideas its a good play because any attempted use of a ukraine loss as an attack on biden can be thrown back on the GOP for stalling funding and they can sell that to the base perfectly fine they'll eat it up.

Ukraine is still their cash laundromat and they likely have the fear that if Russia goes further in, they can gain intel that will fuck them over. Or perhaps Zelenski will sell that info so he can safely get out of dodge .

The only Explanation that the other side would give is FTX.

years ago i would have said based on the clothing, weight, sex, age, race...definitely some kind of lone wolf right-wing extremist. maybe a crazed incel or something

now? either a glowie or some antifa nutjob (so also a glowie)

Time to break out that A Man For All Seasons scene.

On jan 6th I posted part of that speech. I had a dude sperg out that donald trump wasnt moore.

I really wanted to point out if he understood that moore got killed at the end.

But yes where will you turn when the cold wind blows

It would be the only rational thing Zelensky has done since the start of the war; blackmailing the US government into arming him. It would certainly explain why he feels entitled and we already know Ukraine had bioweapons labs sponsored by the US.

I hope they're angry. I hope they're furious. I hope they're rioting in the street screaming autistically at the top of their lungs as Trump enacts his revenge.

Because at least then that means he'll have done SOMETHING to get back at these fucks.

Reminder that judges are cowards.

This decision is a classic case of "Cannot get rid of it so how do I rule in a way that provides minimal fire"

So he doesn't allow for posting a smaller bond to appeal but does allow borrowing money... which will be returned if he wins his appeal. And means that Trump, if he loses that appeal, can quietly pay off a bank instead of having to rather publicly liquidize assets. A bit of borrowed money has a lot more ways of paying off over time.

So on the surface he just slapped down Trump and just beneath that gave Trump exactly what he wants so now the judge is saved from having to be on one side.

I am starting to wondering at this point if she doesn't get the Republican nomination she'll try to run into the presidential election as a third party candidate. The chance of her doing that doesn't seem very high but given how determined her campaign has been in the face of constant brutal losses it wouldn't be surprising.

That makes no sense. Aside from her unwillingness to run as a third-party candidate, a large minority of her primary voters are people who would vote Biden in the general election and only showed up for her in order to try to screw Trump out of the nomination. Meanwhile, her more conservative voters that are Republican or lean that way are going to reluctantly pull the lever for Trump, hence why GOPe donors have mostly pulled out.

Any serious candidate would have dropped out by now like what Ron DeSantis did after he lost Iowa by nearly thirty points. She would have read the sign after her embarrassing twenty point loss and dropped out. That she didn’t means one thing; she isn’t in it to win, she is in it to defeat Trump. She will vote for Joe Biden, whenever she is shameless enough to announce it remains to be seen.

Every primary she stays in, she will taint the Republican primary data for that state. Think of how much money Haley will waste her party, especially in swing districts and states that need every penny they can get. Mailers gone to Biden voters will go in the trash, door knockers will have doors slammed at them, and people in charge of making calls will have people hang up on them. We are talking tens of millions of dollars wasted on top of $100 million already pissed away in a vain attempt to stop Trump from getting the nomination.

We will lose the House because of this and possibly the Presidency and Senate. That means despite an especially favorable environment with three blue seats in red states (West Virginia, Ohio, and Montana), we might be facing an even more rigid Democratic trifecta than 2021 and there won’t be any fake moderates like Manchin and Sinema to hold the line on the worst of the Democratic’s woke agendas (like H.R. 1, a bill that would have destroyed any sense of election integrity in this country).

Every American who still cares about this country should hate Nikki Whorely. Even if you dislike Trump, the damage she is doing to not just the Republican Party, but also America, will extend far beyond having the fat orange man rotting in prison because he believed in peacefully protesting the results of the most fraudulent election in history.

Megyn Kelly got her hands on 30something pages of texts between Ashleigh Merchant and Terrance Bradley.

She has nice ten-ish minute clips from her podcast today going over them

Bradley was acting as a main source but originally expected his name to be kept out of it. He probably had a falling out with Wade.

 

[LurkTrawl]

The issue is Mitch is a skilled pol, his replacement probably won't be nearly as slick.

...

This mentality is the reason these niggers are still in the GOP. It's the reason they've been in office for, fucking, forever.

At some point the reality needs to hit that someone being useful does not mean that they're useful to you even if sometimes their actions and motivations align with yours. How many times does this asshole need to make it obvious that he's a neocon establishment asshole on the same level as Biden before republicans/conservatives realize it's not worth keeping him around when he's this fucking consistently deleterious.

Figured I'd quote myself on the topic of McConnell being anything remotely near to the concept of "useful" to anybody.

We will lose the House

I don't know how to tell you this but you ain't losing shit. Nor gaining shit, from the GOP being in control or not of the house.

Do you think there are enough pennies currently in circulation that he could pay $500 million in pennies?
What about nickels?
Edit: only 140 billion pennies not enough
could possibly do it with nickels
