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

 

[HTTP Error 404]

No you absolute fucking mongoloid, the entire city of Detroit reporting 125% returns handing Kamala the state would result in a massive lolsuit, a political crisis, and quite possibly the House, being controlled by the GOP as it is, refusing to accept Michigan's slate of electors. You need yelled at like JD Vance yelled at his son, but not in a funny sitcom exasperated dad way, in an I'm going to give you the back of my ring hand you little shit, and then I'm going to hit you even harder when your you thought you were clever eyes get big as dinner plates and you start bawling them out

Laches. Moot. NO STANDING! Lala la la can't hear you I won't be the judge that caused the civil war la la la

Plus, do you really think the GOP in the house would refuse Michigan's electors? They'd sue in Hawaii to force them to take them. And wouldn't it come down to Kamala, like it should have came down to Pence?

It's time like these I'm glad I don't give a rat's ass about the market and have all my money in illiquid assets.

Venzuela's economic system collapsed because of the sanctions imposed on them by the US because they won't let us control their oil. They're one of the most resource-wealthy countries on the planet but we won't let them sell any of it without us controlling it all.

Nobody really wants Venezuela’s oil. It’s hideously sludgy with sulfur, to the point that there are very few distilleries that can work with it. Venezuela collapsed economically once the cost of oil fell and it became unviable to bother to send it sonewhere for processing.

Then the Chavistas plundered what remained of the oil companies and left everything to rot. To the point if anybody even wanted their oil they’d pretty much be starting from scratch, with the threat of the government kicking you out and stealing your setup and investment and leaving you with nothing. So why would anybody other than a moron invest there?

Financial Analysis Time
The Harris campaign announced $310 million raised in July with $377 million cash on hand.
The Trump campaign announced $138 million raised in July, with $327 million cash on hand.
(Source)

Now for the Analysis.
Trump is under-performing fundraising expectations. The assassination attempt, RNC, and Biden dropping out should have led to much, much more donations, but we see a jump rather than an explosion. This could be for a number of reasons, but a likely scenario is that poorer Trump donors are trying to stretch their dollars and can't afford to donate, while wealthier (non-millionaire) Republican donors increasingly prefer donating to PACs compared to their Democrat counterparts. Any way you slice it though, he barely out raised the $127 million Biden raised in June. Trump started July with $285 million cash on hand, so ended up spending $100 million this month. This is quite a substantial amount when you consider the Biden campaign was self-destructing, but a lot of it could have been anti-Harris ads from the past two weeks. Trump raised more than he spent, but lost the cash advantage he had just gained last month.

Now to the Harris campaign-well, it's pretty obvious she didn't raise $310 million in just two weeks, so what's going on? We know George Clooney and Co. were holding up $100 million in funds, and that her fundraising events raised about $50-60 million, but there's no way the remainder was all small dollar donors. It was probably money laundering, since we know that ActBlue wasn't running proper checks on transactions. We also need to consider her cash on hand is larger than the money raised, so she has $57 million left in unspent funds from the Biden war chest. Biden reportedly entered the month with $240 million on hand, so her burn rate was $190 million! We don't know how much of this was Biden trying to save himself, but if she keeps it up she'll run out of all her cash before the end of August! She DID raise more than she spent though, so I guess it worked out for her.

Dudes and ladies, I regret to inform you all that the economy is guaranteed to be completely, totally, fundamentally, never-been-this-bad over now.
Someone needs to take Cramer's phone away from him before he tweets our way back to the stone age

Everything is fine. Kamala said the economy is booming!

Please stop being retarded. Venezuela's economic system cracked when oil prices collapsed in 2008. This can easily be seen by any glance at standard of living, bolivar value etc. over the time period in question instead of lazy bullshit about muh sanctions. Inflation averaged 30% a year from 2008 to 2013. Then it got worse. I know you retards attribute great and magical powers to the US while also shitting on it nonstop, but those powers don't extend to sanctions imposed in 2017 fucking up the Venezuelan economy in 2010. You can easily Google all this shit regarding Venezuela economically going to shambles when oil exports and revenues were increasing yearly, before Trump signed the big boy sanctions in 2017

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

And on what, may I ask, do you base this optimistic prognostication?

She's a fucking retard. They turned on Biden in hours, after supporting him for years. They'll do it again if needs be. It's never the fault of the party, only the fault of the pupet.

 

[Breadbassket]

Getting real mad and emotional when someone asks why, after observing decades of our political system reacting to obvious, transparent, systemic corruption by doing nothing whatsoever, this time will be different, doesn't actually answer the question:

Why will this time be different?

Hard to predict the future but one thing to keep in mind is that Republicans need to win this election more then the Democrats do. The GOP is united around Trump but if he somehow loses what happens? Who replaces him if anyone? What is to be done with the RNC that is now led by people loyal to him if the worse comes to pass? Kamala Harris on the other hand is just a cog in the liberal machine that can be taken out and replaced by someone else the media will praise and promote endlessly even if they aren't a good presidential candidate.

It's funny how far-left distributionist regimes always fail when capitalist powers become unwilling to keep them afloat.
They sell their oil to the largest market in the planet, who fiends for oil and often overpays because there isn't any near them, yet they still fail

If nobody wants their oil then why they fuck did we sanction them into the stone age when they nationalized it and kicked Exxon out? Why the fuck would we care about Venezuela at all? And before you say "the wonderful people and muh democracy" remember that we're the ones who installed Maduro in the first place when we thought he would play ball and are currently the ones starving those wonderful people with sanctions. Wake the fuck up man.

 

[Feline Supremacist]

Cuba just flew in special forces to enforce the economic system that's so much better than Capitalism they have to keep people using it by gunpoint. So yeah, unless Venezuelan citizens find themselves armed, and quick, Maduro won by ammo box (which overrules ballot box).

Don't act like we're any better, or did you forget how the Capitol was barricaded and had thousands of armed soldiers on the grounds in 2021 on the pretext a bunch of rowdy boomers protested a stolen election?

 

[Calandrino]

Just curious, has Biden been seen recently? I don’t mean “has a piece of paper with his signature appeared”, I mean has the physical human being been seen and/or recorded anywhere?

Gave a speech three days ago. Looks fit as a fiddle. Maybe he can be the candidate after Harris drops out.

OH NO, HIS HALF POO KIDS HAVE THE 'TISM!

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

Anyone remember the crash in 01 that's never talked about? It was the dotcom bubble bursting from massive companies buying up every inch of useless E-space.

You probably won't remember because just as it was about to threaten the US economy, wouldn't you gosh-darn guessed that some ragheads flew planes into a building and whoopsie daisy, printer went brrrr to fund the MIC to steal oil and poof, no more recession.

What's that? The tech industry is collapsing and the US is going to steal Venezuelan oil? Let's hope there isn't some large scale international issue that requires western intervention to solve. Ukraine and Israel aint it, chief.

 

[TheDarknessGrows]

Venezuela has dirty crude, just like portions of the United States. Only those two nations used the tech to refine it in meaningful quantities.

USA was a dick to Venezuela; however, Venezuela did not take care of its specialized equipment or retain the workers with specialized knowledge of that equipment's operation after it was nationalized. The USA had the means and knowledge to fix their tech, but the USA was a dick. Venezuela was proud.

And here we are. Dicks fuck pride, but not as hard as pride fucks itself.

AI is exactly like the dot com bubble. Thank you for reminding me.

 

[Harvey Danger]

Trump raised more than he spent, but lost the cash advantage he had just gained last month.

Considering Trump was outspent 4:1 in 2016 and (I think) 2:1 in 2020, the cash advantage thing doesn't matter that much. I wish they'd do a similar analysis for House and Senate races, because those seem to be a lot more sensitive to campaign spending.

 

[draggs]

Oh my sweet summer stalker child

Oh my retarded faggot

Detroit has about 500,000 registered voters

125% would be 625,000 reported votes

Last time Detroit reported just over 250,000 votes

If you think 125,000 extra votes, an increase of 375,000 from last time, would just be accepted because this is the internet and you can pretend to be retarded, you're not pretending

Vance just continues to become weirder and weirder, it's almost like he's an inorganic person who can't even just act natural. Every time he talks, he tanks his side's morale.
