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

 

[XYZpdq Jr.]

ACLJ had Sean Spicer on, he suggested that Trump just say "nah, everybody knows my policies, I'm onstage all the time. Joe, the floor is yours, explain your policies. I yield my time" just to make Joe have to fill an extra ten minutes
which tbh sounds like a pretty good plan

Fast food is dying, and it's a terrible sign for the economy. Both of those things can be true, but...

50 years ago there wasn't a restaurant every 15 ft. I'm saying that cheap money, bad governance, and endless printing have distorted our economy for decades. Not just restaurants, but homes didn't used to be an "investment" either. Retirement didn't depend on hedge funds not fucking your portfolio over. And on and on the distortions have piled on top of each other until we find ourselves here in present year clown world where nothing works, the truth will get you cancelled, and our society is dying.

At some point reality has to reassert and all the unsustainable crap will fail so our system can return to a sane one. It isn't going to be pretty, and we can bet on our elites making the worst decisions to prolong this until they are removed. That is our reality, everything else is just wishful thinking.

Trump is just a different kind of stall tactic. /doom

The reason I wouldn't move anywhere else: we still have our guns, and enough people to right the ship. I'm glad I don't live near a blue shithole in the meantime, things gonna get ugly! I hope Trump wins even against the rigging just to piss off the left regardless.

I could see him doing it on some questions. Just force Biden to adlib. The man is a mess even with a teleprompter. Making him wing it would be insane.

If they debated again it would be like that first one in 2020 except worse. Trump has a habit of making his points but at the same time goes on unscripted side tangents meanwhile Biden's current mental capacity will probably ensure he is lost in all conversations that aren't planned out in advance.

At the very least it would a political disaster that's also fun to watch.

2) NO live audience.

Trump has already made an ad about that:

 

[MrJokerRager]

She doesn't seem to be an idiot, she does actually seem qualified. She comes from a smart family, supposedly. I don't think any woman should ever be a judge, but this is probably due to cultural issues. Her religion is libtardism, and she's going to express it.

An update to this story.

 

[FunPosting101]

An update to this story.

He immediately needs to appeal this, all the way up to the SCOTUS if needs be.

 

[Dr J]

I still don't understand why Trump agreed to all of Biden's demands especially the "no audience" one.

You know very well that CNN would just bus in a Biden friendly audience. It's really to Trump's benefit. Biden doesn't get the boost from the Biden friendly audience and Trump gets to call him a pussy for not wanting an audience

Probably something to do with the crazy religious cult she is part of.

Hinduism?

 

[DavidS877]

I still don't understand why Trump agreed to all of Biden's demands especially the "no audience" one. Trump uses the crowd to test out how he is doing and to land massive blows to every one else up the stage. Plus going on CNN? He should have called Biden a coward over and over again until he got some outside of the Big 3 to host.

Presumably he thinks he'll win if there is a debate and doesn't want to give Biden any reason not to debate. And of course if Trump agrees to everything and Biden still doesn't debate he can use that as ammunition.

I wonder if the blatant bias toward Biden will end up being an optics nightmare. This isn't 2020 anymore. Joe is more unpopular every hour.

 

[AN/ALR56]

Can someone give TLR on the Trump trial?
As a foreigner i'm lost completely and i don't trust MSM who claims he will be crucified at any second now.

Biden couldn't fill a pharmacy, where the hell will they get an audience to fill a theatre?

 

[General Emílio Médici]

Chances are they will be desperate to rig it and fail. Like they will insist that inflation is down, and when Trump replies "but the statistics say it is" he can just fire back "then why is everything double the price it was when I was in charge? Why is McDonalds 15 bucks?" they will try and cope about it, and he can fire back that the statistics are all faked. And then the moderator will get involved and try and defend 'muh soyence' but the point has already been made.

Honestly who the fuck thinks the inflation numbers are real, anywhere in the world after we all printed trillions of dollars in the pandemic?
Groceries cost nearly 2x a much from 2019 here, i can't even grasp how bad it is in America because you and I are from a shithole that never had any purchasing power anyway, so we are used to it.

Paid actors, how many people work at CNN? They could probably give out free tickets to their left-leaning employees.

That's not even counting the people who would show up just to heckle Trump

They’ll mute Trump’s mic, then he pulls out a bullhorn and makes a Mr. Green moment.

 

[mandatorylurk]

Right away Trump will probably announce that he did this debate with the "very rude, very biased moderators (apparently Jake Tapper and Dana Basch for the first one)" because he was tired of Crooked Joe getting away with everything by the fake news media. He knows it will be rigged, he knows they will give Joepedo the questions, and while Trump is talking Joepedo will interrupt, they will cut Trump's mic, and it will reinforce everything they're seeing in this gay court case. And then all Trump has to say every time he speaks is "the country is shit compared to five, even four years ago."

I'm more concerned Joepedo will sic the secret service ON Trump or CNN will let some faggot in to blindside Orange Man, that the debate is so early makes Joepedo look incredibly weak.



Meanwhile, just another coincidence with a barge down in Texas:

 

[Absurdist Laughter]

The upside is that with the sheer volume of narcotics needed to keep Joe coherent there's a fairly decent chance he might collapse and die on stage.

I'm convinced the reason we have a fentanyl crisis is due to a shift of available methamphetamines. The necromancy ritual required to keep Joe Biden's corpse walking is soaking up the supply. They performed the ritual again and explained away the visual anomalies on the "sun flares". The sun doesn't exist, it's an illusion. #tinfoilhat

PARIS (AP) — France imposed an emergency Wednesday in the French Pacific territory of New Caledonia for at least 12 days, boosting security forces’ powers to quell deadly unrest in the archipelago where indigenous people have long sought independence.

Armed clashes and other violence that erupted Monday following protests over voting reforms have left four people dead, including a gendarme, and injured more than 300, French authorities said.

French military forces were being deployed to protect ports and airports, to free up police and security forces battling looting, arson and other violence, Prime Minister Gabriel Attal announced as the emergency measures kicked in at 8 p.m. Paris time, which was 5 a.m. Thursday in New Caledonia.

“Nothing can ever justify violence,” Attal said. “Our absolute priority for the next few hours is the return to order and calm.”

The emergency measures give authorities greater powers to tackle the violence, including the possibility of house detention for people deemed a threat to public order and expanded powers to conduct searches, seize weapons and restrict movements, with possible jail time for violators. The last time France imposed such measures on one of its overseas territories was in 1985, also in New Caledonia, the Interior Ministry said.

France's government also rushed hundreds of police reinforcements to the island, where pro-independence supporters have long pushed to break free from France. The Interior Ministry said 500 additional officers were expected within hours on the archipelago to bolster 1,800 police and gendarmes already there.

There have been more than 130 arrests so far, French authorities said.

Speaking to broadcaster France Info on Wednesday, Anne Clément, a resident of the capital, Noumea, hailed security forces reinforcements because the unrest has morphed into “a real urban guerrilla war.”

People have been confined to their homes for two days, terrified by “shooting from all sides,” Clément, a nursery director, told the French broadcaster. “We’ve stopped eating, we’ve stopped living, we’ve stopped sleeping,” she added.

“I don’t see how we could get out of the situation without the state of emergency,” she said.

There have been decades of tensions on the archipelago between Indigenous Kanaks seeking independence and descendants of colonizers who want to remain part of France.

After a two-hour security meeting Wednesday with French President Emmanuel Macron and top ministers, Attal told parliament in Paris that the state of emergency would aim “to restore order in the shortest time possible.”

This week’s unrest erupted as the French legislature in Paris debated amending the French constitution to make changes to voter lists in New Caledonia. The National Assembly on Wednesday approved a bill that will, among other changes, allow residents who have lived in New Caledonia for 10 years to cast ballots in provincial elections.

Opponents say the measure will benefit pro-France politicians in New Caledonia and further marginalize indigenous Kanak people. They once suffered from strict segregation policies and widespread discrimination. The vast archipelago of about 270,000 people east of Australia is 10 time zones ahead of Paris.

From Macron down, France's government made repeated calls for an end to the violence.

The territory’s top French official, High Commissioner Louis Le Franc, warned of the possibility of “many deaths” if calm isn't restored. A police station was among dozens of places that were attacked, with shots fired, Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin said. Posting on X, he said a gendarme who had been shot was among the dead.

In Paris, Macron emphasized the need for political dialogue. Rival political parties in New Caledonia also jointly called for calm, saying in a statement: “We have to continue to live together.”

An overnight curfew in New Caledonia was extended to Thursday. Schools and the main airport remained closed, Le Franc said.

“The situation is not serious, it is very serious," Le Franc said. “We have entered a dangerous spiral, a deadly spiral.”

He said some residents in the capital and neighboring municipalities formed “self-defense groups” to protect their homes and businesses.

New Caledonia became French in 1853 under Emperor Napoleon III, Napoleon’s nephew and heir. It became an overseas territory after World War II, with French citizenship granted to all Kanaks in 1957.

A peace deal between rival factions was reached in 1988. A decade later, France promised to grant New Caledonia political power and broad autonomy and hold up to three successive referendums.

The three referendums were organized between 2018 to 2021 and a majority of voters chose to remain part of France instead of backing independence. The pro-independence Kanak people rejected the results of the last referendum in 2021, which they boycotted because it was held at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

As any boxer who's fought a past-his-prime older fighter will tell you, there's no benefit to fighting an old man. Either you win and it's like 'You beat up an old man'. Or you lose and it's like 'Haha, you got beat up by an old man'

They are both old men and sometimes you need to beat up an old faggot.
