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

Ivermectin is a cheap generic that's commonly used, no one is making money off it.

And therein was the problem and why it was demonized and forbidden by the FDA, WHO, and CDC.

Is there a single person Trump supposedly raped that isn't a complete loon?

There was the hag that said rape was sexy and hit on Anderson Cooper, now Stormy Daniels is a spirit medium? What's next?

You know how I know all the rape accusations are fake? Because there's no way someone of Trump's stature doesn't know the prime directive of, "You never stick your dick in crazy".

Trump's youngest son has made up his mind as far as getting involved in politics go it seems.

That's just a ceremonial position, really, but there's a lot of fuss about it in a state or two.

laws preventing felons from keeping and bearing arms is unconstitutional

But they're not. The Fifth Amendment allows deprivation of rights as punishment for a criminal conviction. There's no stipulation that they have to be linked to prison time. Participants in Shay's Rebellion were deprived of their right to bear arms for three years, for example. But I'm not the Supreme Court, so who knows, maybe they'll hold that a ban on all felons owning arms is overly broad.

If Baron starts doing proper weight training now he's going to be able to suplex his politcal opponents like some modern day Andrew Jackson.

If he starts practicing his chokeslams he'll be the next Lincoln.

I think anyone expecting him to be Donald Trump 2.0 is going to be somewhat disappointed. While it does seem he has the drive which all of the Trump siblings have except for Tiffany, and the intelligence which Don Jr. and Eric seem to be somewhat lacking in, and Tiffany has none of, but Ivanka inherited, he, out of all of them seems to have inherited his mother's introverted, non-combative and contemplative personality. I just can't see him out there pressing the flesh or having much of the common touch The Donald has with the masses.

That said, he does seem to have a natural charisma, and will probably be extremely effective behind the scenes.

Is Tiffany actually dumb? Isn’t she working on becoming a lawyer? I get that she looks like a dumb blonde but I thought that was just a way for her to keep a low profile.

Elle Woods is her role model?

I take it for granted that the Trump children are probably like Papa Trump himself: not exactly brain surgeons but not as dumb as people claim they are, either

Tiffany got her JD from Georgetown in 2020 but she doesn’t practice law. She doesn’t really say or do much but that’s probably a good thing as the other siblings that tried their hand at being political have failed, Ivanka and Don Jr. in particular. Being smart enough to know she doesn’t have what it takes to be a political power broker puts her ahead of all the others at the moment.

But why would Hillary compare Trump to FDR?

 

[Sniperwoof]

Apart from Donald Trump I literally cannot remember the last time I saw an American politician expressing fondness for the American people or the historic American nation.

That's really really fucking grim.

That's really really grim.

The entire ruling class views America as a system that they built and control, and the American people as nothing more than biomass that gets turned into GDP-producers by their system. They think that system can be fed just as well with biomass from anywhere else on the planet, and that Americans are downright ungrateful for thinking we should have a say in the system.

The 9th circuit just ruled that preventing felons from owning a firearm is unconstitutional under Bruen. The 9th circuit.

Because they want niggers to be able to kill you.

"Oh noooo, if we can't take away rights from law abiding citizens looks like we can't take away rights after a criminal conviction."

About ten fed posts went through my head after reading this retardation.

Sounds like we don’t need a firearms registry background checks then.

As fucked up as it is, the 2A crowd has to back Hunter for his gun conviction. They're challenging it on 2A grounds, using the historical test from Bruen to claim that laws preventing felons from keeping and bearing arms is unconstitutional. He's right, too. That historical test is the only thing that's kept the waves of state guns bans over the last 4 years at bay. If Hunter's argument fails, he might take Bruen down with him. Most blue states and district courts are blatantly ignoring Bruen already, even misinterpreting it in bad faith to justify some of the most insidious disarmament laws in US history. There's a half dozen Bruen cases sitting at the feet of SCOTUS right now and we're probably close to the most significant changes in gun laws since the 1930s once this court starts picking them up. If they end up punting, expect the gun crowd from all political stripes to start raising hell about Trump's judge appointments.

Hate to break it to you, but Bruen will fail at some point and already has if you count courts across the country disregarding it to rule with their feels. It isn't some magical wand you can wave to defeat legal corruption and ignorance.

I'm actually going to take a contrary opinion and say this is the correct ruling in terms of safeguarding individual liberties.

"Rights are absolute but......" is how we got our current situation where various courts start gleefully chipping away at various constitutionally protected rights until there's nothing left.

Besides Lequimarcus doesn't give a fuck if some court said he's prohibited from owning guns. He's going to march down to main street hand Pooky or Ray Ray $50 and walk away with a High Point.

It's a pointless feel good measure like gun control.

 

[General Emílio Médici]

Stopping felons from owning firearms might make gun deaths go down, which will sap the power from anti-gun narrative and lobbies without the crucial step of getting rid of guns.

The point is not keeping people safe, it's disarming you.
