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

As an atheist who still has a working moral framework and none of those flaws, I think it has less to do with them not having god, and more to do with literally all of those “prominent” atheists being raging lefty retards.
The Republican Party was seen as the god party back then and so being a lefty was their way of fighting religion.

That’s why even the libertarian atheists like Penn Juliet have completely cucked by this point.

I’ve also argued for years that if the republicans focused less on god, which is already supposed to be separated from the government, that they wouldn’t have lost the youth vote

Even without the God stuff their dalliance with the surveillance state and foreign misadventures from 2001-2019 would have burnt the youth vote away.
Really the best thing that could've possibly happened to the party was the national security K street types defecting for Democrats because Trump rustled their jimmies in 2016. Lots of less leftist millennials started looking at Republicans with a new eye when the James Clappers of the world started screeching about Trump being the death knell of democracy.

I didn't this, but if late sorry. If Zelensky is here when Trump calls it's a no brainer he'd do it.

 

[Jade Philosophies]

wow, just because Hinkley's father was a pal of Bush you think there's some weird connection
VPs are friends with the father of their president's assassin all the time, stop being weird

And Bush's son (Neil, not George jr) being at a party with Hinkley's brother that day and planning to have dinner with him that evening was just another one of those weird cosmic coincidences!

Im a sane world that would be the case, but here they just become more desperate. They have been attempting increasingly dark and dirty methods to force him out, and have just resorted to assassination. The utter humiliation of the failure will give them pause for maybe a few weeks, then they will try again and do more evil acts. Sending his grandson to Japan may prove to be necessary.

I can see them trying to bomb each Trump event they can.

 

[Taser Confetti]

It's a legitimate conflict of interest. Bukele's crackdown means that MS-13 and all those guys flee here, which is a problem for us. El Salvador is still quite small and poor, so pursuing them with anything more substantial isn't in the cards. Playing hot potato with psychotic cartelistas is the exact sort of thing that should put two nationalist leaders at odds.

They just built the largest prison in the world and sentenced them to life. Don’t like the fact a couple rats fled the ship? Man the fuck up and start doing it in your country too.

Bukele’s done more for his country than Trump ever had and ever will.

So do you guys think that Biden is going to end up dropping out?

God didn’t lose them the youth vote, being the fun police did. Same thing that appears to be losing Dems the youth vote in [current year]. I doubt the young people of the time would’ve had as much issue with GodJesus if they weren’t constantly being told that He would send them to Hell for listening to rock music, playing Pokemon and reading Harry Potter.

 

[Absolutego]

So do you guys think that Biden is going to end up dropping out?

No.
Nobody in the party is desperate enough for power to jump on this grenade for the Democrats, Jill & Hunter are dependent on Joe staying in office for their own ends, getting a new nominee on the ballot in all 50 states is a recipe for the courts to muck everything up, and all the "rumors" leaking is just donors throwing a tantrum because they're the only ones who haven't resigned themselves to a likely 2nd Trump term.
When actual politicians get interviewed over "off the record" leaks to WaPo and the like, they have mostly stopped talking about Biden and are focused on downticket races. That's a sign of a party that's resigned themselves to having him as their nominee.

Dude the Republicans never took away my ability to say nigger. Or faggot, which I find far funnier than nigger. They also never fucked with cars. Electric cars are homosexual. I never want one.

 

[FMW13]

So do you guys think that Biden is going to end up dropping out?

Fuck no. Lady Macbeth will sooner nuke the entire party before she allows him to drop out. Strap in kids it’s gonna be a fun ride the next month.

 

[Krokodil Overdose]

So do you guys think that Biden is going to end up dropping out?

No.

If he was going to drop out, he would have already. It was the debate that set the dems' hair on fire, the subsequent rush to unseat him failed, and nothing has really changed since then w/r/t Biden

Zuckerberg Calls Trump’s Response to Shooting ‘Badass’

Spoiler

Mark Zuckerberg said that former President Donald Trump’s immediate reaction after being shot was “badass” and inspiring, and helps explain his appeal to voters.

“Seeing Donald Trump get up after getting shot in the face and pump his fist in the air with the American flag is one of the most badass things I’ve ever seen in my life,” the Meta Platforms Inc. chief executive officer said Thursday during an interview at the company’s headquarters in Menlo Park, California. “On some level as an American, it’s like hard to not get kind of emotional about that spirit and that fight, and I think that that’s why a lot of people like the guy.”

Zuckerberg, 40, declined to endorse Trump or his presumed opponent, President Joe Biden, adding that he’s “not planning” to be involved in the election in any way. Still, his comments add to a growing chorus of Silicon Valley leaders, including Tesla Inc. billionaire Elon Musk and venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, who are warming to the former president, some pledging donations to his campaign. Zuckerberg made the comments during a wide-ranging discussion about the future of AI, social media and more for The Circuit with Emily Chang. The full episode is set to air on Tuesday.

Zuckerberg said Meta is making changes that he hopes will mean Facebook is not as much of a flashpoint in elections going forward. “The main thing that I hear from people is that they actually want to see less political content on our services because they come to our services to connect with people.” Meta is already recommending less political content to its users, he added. “I think you’re going to see our services play less of a role in this election than they have in the past.”

Zuckerberg’s relationship with Trump has been complicated by Trump’s use of Meta’s products to reach his followers. The former president’s posts have routinely contained misinformation or challenged Meta’s rules. The company suspended Trump from both Facebook and Instagram for two years in the wake of the January 6, 2021, Capitol riots. At the time, Zuckerberg posted that Trump was using his account to “undermine the peaceful and lawful transition of power to his elected successor.”

While the accounts have since been reinstated, Trump indicated he hasn’t forgiven Meta or Zuckerberg, and recently suggested that he plans to retaliate. He called Facebook the “enemy of the people” in March. Earlier this month, Trump also appeared to warn Zuckerberg. “All I can say is that if I’m elected President, we will pursue Election Fraudsters at levels never seen before, and they will be sent to prison for long periods of time,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “We already know who you are. DON’T DO IT! ZUCKERBUCKS, be careful!”

Trump has reversed policy positions in the name of punishing Meta. While he was president, Trump pushed for a ban of the Chinese-owned video app, TikTok. Trump has since changed his stance, arguing in Businessweek that a ban would be too beneficial to Meta’s business.

Zuckerberg said he welcomes competition. “It’s good,” he said on The Circuit. “I think we’re doing pretty well here. We’re gaining market share. So I don’t know. They’ll go do what they need to do but I think we’re gonna be fine and we’re gonna continue doing well in this space either way.”

When asked if he thought TikTok should be banned, Zuckerberg demurred. “That’s above my pay grade,” he said.

You know what term I haven’t heard in years? Chicano, which is basically a ghetto way of saying Mexican-American. Is it no longer Kosher in the leftist sphere of influence?

 

[Halo Cipher]

I'm not an American but holy fuck. This is an incredible time line. Hopeful for the trickle down to reach my country.

If this has made you curious about God, check out Orthodox Christianity. They have survived in their traditions and have more accessible divinity with logical philosophy than what you are used to seeing in mega churches.

I have a STRONG suspicion that Tucker Carlson had a lot to do with JD Vance being picked.

Rupert Murdoch was FURIOUS

Notably, Tucker Carlson praised Trump’s selection of Vance as his running mate, saying Americans should be heartened by the fact that D.C. swamp creatures are so strongly opposed to the Ohio senator.

“I think every person who pays close attention has gotta be thrilled by that. And if you don’t know much about JD Vance, I’m not even gonna make a case for JD Vance,” the former Fox News host said during the Heritage Foundation’s Policy Fest live from the RNC. “I’m gonna tell you what I just saw, which is that every bad person I’ve ever met in a lifetime in Washington was aligned against JD Vance.”

As Breitbart News reported, Vance, who comes from humble beginnings, has become a champion for America’s working class.

I have a suspicion that Tucker is involved in Trump's new cabinet selection, too. That explains why he was giddy as fuck.

It’s LatinX you goddamn bigot.

Plenty of beaners still identify as Chicano. But it originated as a slur and got reclaimed by them.

Shitlibs are too busy debating over Latino vs Latinx.

 

[Lincoln Osiris]

I'm a zoomer so of course I don't know anything about 00's politics. But why does Bush hate Trump? I mean, his absence at the RNC speaks volumes.
