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

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

Neat idea, but this is the part that I doubt. Not that they don't have the intelligence to back Trump, but their pettiness seems like it would get in the way to help at all. Also, the time to stop her is the DNC convention by nominating someone else, not rely on Trump to save them.

She's already the nominee and VP. Is it possible to take her out of the race while she has so much power? Biden can't stop her. She can just purge the entire party.

Real talk, this tinfoil hat conspiracy theory is wild and I can see it playing out like this, it likely isn't TRUE, but by fuck would it be amazing.

I reckon there's some truth to it. Obama wouldn't back Kamala for a week or so, while everyone else did. Then they all fell inline like good little puppets. Now they have buyers remorse and in my tinfoil filled brain, nothing else explains it.

Think about what we're witnessing. The media, the same; piss-tape, russian-collusion, there-is-no-laptop, don't-take-the-trump-vax, hug-a-chink, get biden-vaxed-or-else, transitory-inflation, J6 is 9/11-but-worse, ORANGE MAN BAD, media, are not just going against Kamala, they're going against the entire DNC.
After 8 years of the most extraordinary lies to paint Trump as evil and Biden as a saint they've turned 180, in lockstep, in the space of 48 hours?
At this rate I expect Silicon Valley to start wearing MAGA hats and having Trump Celebratory Sessions.

Just to put a tinfoil cherry on the schitzo cake, remember Trump is always right. Always. He get's laughed at, derided, but he's always right.
Why did he join the repubs? Because he believed the Dems were going in the wrong direction. Maybe the other dems are starting to see the light?

Trump has to use that End Wokeness meme of her admitting prices are up. If he has to buy the full 30 second ad run it again or just have Trump dancing at the end for 15 seconds.

Trump putting up real art in Bedminster:

That's amazing. Bedminster is fantastic. As a musician based in NYC I've performed there tons of times since it's in Jersey. He has Ivanka's piano there, which I've played quite a bit as it's not the house piano. The piano bench is actual cow skin - all white with black spots - but it itches like hell when you sit on it. That place is already wall to wall with framed magazine covers and photos of celebs with Trump. I still have bottles of water from there because the labels all say "Trump". Every time I go there though to perform, there's always a ton of maseratis and ferraris. And you know who they all belong to, and who that club is packed with? Koreans. They love that shit. I can't wait to go back though and see that painting on the wall...that's gonna be a great thing to take a photo with.

Can't seem to download the video but here it is. My father grew up in the 70s and he told me about how cars were lined up for blocks because of the price freezes on gasoline. Whoever has their hand up Kumhola's ass making her talk is insane if they think shit won't hit the fan when people start lining up in front of the supermarkets.

I grew up in the 70s. I was young though but I clearly remember my father taking me to sit on the gas lines. It was horrible. They went by license plate number. If the last digit was odd, you could only get gas on certain days. Vice versa for an even last digit. Then when you got to the gas station, the line was miles long, with everyone just standing outside their car and socializing because you couldn't leave the car running since gas was so scarce to begin with so it was hot and you couldn't run the A/C. You'd just shut the car and bullshit for 20 minutes until the line moved a little bit. It literally was an all day event to get gas for the car.

I don't think anyone in modern times has experienced anything close to that in this country again but it's not something I care to ever experience again. It's probably the closest we've had to what it feels like in a communist country.

Alright, conspiracy / gossip time.

Do you guys think she's pissed off the wrong person in private, or that CNN just can't afford to CNN with its numbers so low?

No, I think the problem is, is that Kamala is dumb. Like really dumb. Like almost in need of medical assistance dumb. She has actually no business in the position she's in at the moment and is completely incapable of fulfilling the duties of that position due to how low her IQ is. Anyway, what's good about an idiot like her, is you can let her spout her idiot ideas and she'll take the heat for it. But the problem is, she's so dumb that she doesn't know when to stop, so eventually she'll go too far. Far enough that she's too dumb to understand what she's saying but TPTB around her know that she went too far so I think when it goes that far, people step in to reel her back.

They love letting her cackle and throw her moronic ideas around like her tax credit for the first year of childhood, but once she starts talking about hardcore commie shit like nationalizing businesses or just taking people's property away, or price fixing and letting the government decide what things should cost, they panic and step in to try to mitigate the damage. Because her followers are like lemmings and they'll follow her right over the edge of the cliff. So when she takes it too far, they run op-ed pieces calling her out to try to minimize how many of her follower run with the shit she spews. They created her, like a golem, and they foolishly think they will be able to control her all the time.

Boredom and greed.

Once you have infinite money, what do you do? People like Zuckerberg, Larry Fink or Soros could just fuck off and do whatever they wanted in private but they are so greedy and bored that they might as well try to influence the world like it's a strategy game.

Ages ago I had a friend, a guitarist who was dating Diane Lane - or more accurately was just her boy toy. This was after she divorced Chris Lambert and they still had a kid together but the kid was like 4 or 5. And my buddy would ask me if I could babysit the kid so he could go out for the night and screw Diane. So one night I was watching the kid and Chris Lambert - Highlander himself - stopped by to visit his kid.

I was young enough at the time to still be a social retard and I remember asking him outright, "Man, you have so much money. What the hell do you do with all that money?" Lol...thankfully he was really cool and had a sense of humor. He told me that he just kept buying real estate and that he owned a shit ton of houses in Ireland and New Zealand that he rented out.

I guess people with a lot of money are kinda like us when we have an extra $20 on us and we're like, "Fuck that, I'm getting the Papa John's BBQ pizza tonight" and you feel good because you can afford it without worrying. It's like that, but just on a bigger scale, lol...I feel that way about Pizza. Highlander thinks that way about houses.

I did make him say, "There can be only one!" and he did. And it turned out he loved Journey and Diane had a piano in her house and he asked me if I could play him some Journey and I played him a bunch of their songs. So mostly I remember him being cool while I asked him awkward shit.

I don't know. I look at Sean Astin now acting like a paid shill, and of course Mark Hamill. They seem to to be wealthy enough to fuck off, but maybe Astin isn't and is paid off by kamala. But it's sad. People that don't work hard for money (actors, DEI hires, politicians) seem to be the most absurd when it comes to managing wealth.

Dude, did you not catch any details from the Depp/Heard case? When they talked about Depp's finances it was fucking humiliating. The dude spends like a literal ghetto thug on the first of the month. His wine budget alone for the month of what he drank was more than my yearly salary lol. Turns out that a lot of rich people are really fucking horrible with money.

Reminds me of that documentary I watched once on MC Hammer where they talked about how he was worth 50 mil and then like soon after he was filing for bankruptcy because he had like a hundred person entourage that he paid for all their shit and he did stupid shit like decking his tour bus out in 24k gold and stuff

It's really insane that most of them are horrible with money - they just make so much that a lot of them can afford to keep being retarded and no one realizes.

 

[Cuckoman]

Kamala is absolutely willing to do something like that. Which is probably why they are keeping Biden in. I think they are only now realizing how power mad and insane she really is.

That is why she and her commie faggot vp-runner is the best thing ever.
Imagine Kamala going to the middle east and negotiate faggot rights and "you must pump more oil or else" with the leaders there.
Lol.
Imagine Kamala going to Pakistan (a close ally) to talk to the leaders to dial down hostilities with India (another close ally).
It will be amazing. Both Pakistan and India have nukes. Maybe they will declare friendship and partnership forever and together launch nukes against the west?

Biden really fucked up international relations big time. Lets see what Kamala can do. "You think Biden turned close allies to become enemies? Hold my box-wine."

The west must be destroyed and the degenerate faggot worship needs to be eradicated. I look forward to Kamala leading this effort.

Kamala 2024 and Kamala 2028
Lets fucking GO

I would like to point out that you sir have made me more racist.

It was a black man that moved her up for head.

I ve been dicked over by an organization and it seems that black bring in other black people and then have no fucking standards.

 

[Jaimas]

I don't often see shit like this, so when it does pop up, it does paint a rather stark picture.

CNN - of all fucking networks - is currently calling Kamala out for being economically illiterate and floating price caps.

You do not see this kind of shit unless there is serious fucking dissension in the ranks. Something fucking happened and the Kamala campaign has definitely incurred the ire of some of the established interests on the left side of the aisle. The last time I saw this kind of shit was in 2020.

 

[CarlKingofDucks]

In my lifetime I dont think ive ever seen a bigger trashfire presidential race. Kamala is a shit show lol. Even CNN of all fucking places, PROPAGANDA CENTRAL! Is turning on this bitch lol. How fucking awful do you have to be where the blue no matter who, the original never trumpers turn on your ass?

A New Documentary Rehabilitates Nixon’s Reputation On Watergate’s 50th Anniversary​

By Dale A. Fitzgibbons


Imagine, if you will, a contemporary “Man on the street” interview:*

Guy with a mike and recorder:

“You, Sir, have you ever heard of Richard Nixon?”

Random young pedestrian:

“Uh—um, uh, like, yeah, I think I heard about him in school... I think it was in Science Class .... wait, no, wait, um, like, it was in a History Class, I think... but, uh, I have trouble remembering.”

“Okay, but what do you recall about him?”
“Hmmmmm ... oh, like, he was, um, like, you know, like one of the founding fathers, I think, and he was a great inventor … yeah, that was it! He, like, invented some gadget called the “water gate”... it’s used for flood control. Or something. Yeah, it’s in Washington, next to that river that flows through the Capital.”



“Okay, thank you!”

No, that’s not an actual, literal, conversation (of which I am aware), but it might not be too far afield. Let’s imagine another:

The pro-Palestinian ‘uncommitted’ movement is at an impasse with top Democrats as the DNC begins

Spoiler

DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — Of the thousands of delegates expected to gather Monday at the Democratic National Convention, just 36 will belong to the “uncommitted” movement sparked by dissatisfaction with President Joe Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war.

But that small core has outsized influence.

Anger over U.S. backing for Israel’s offensive in Gaza could generate unwelcome images for convention organizers, with raucous protests expected outside and potentially inside the Chicago arena where Harris will accept the nomination Thursday.

Top Democrats have spent weeks meeting with “uncommitted” voters and their allies — including a previously unreported sit-down between Vice President Kamala Harris and the mayor of Dearborn, Michigan — in an effort to respond to criticism in key swing states like Michigan, which has a significant Arab American population.

Months of meetings and phone calls between pro-Palestinian activists and the Harris campaign have fallen into an effective impasse. The activists want Harris to endorse an arms embargo to Israel and a permanent cease-fire. Harris has supported Biden’s negotiations for a cease-fire but rejected an arms embargo.

Rima Mohammad, one of Michigan’s two “uncommitted” delegates, said she sees the convention as a chance to share their movement’s concerns with the party leadership.

“It is a way for protesters outside to be able to share their frustration with the party,” she said.

The Democratic nominee meets a key Arab American mayor
Questions remain about the leverage “uncommitted” voters hold now that Biden has stepped aside and Harris has taken his place. Democrats have seen a significant surge in enthusiasm for Harris’ campaign and concerns about voter apathy in key areas, such as Detroit’s large Black population, appear to have diminished.

But Harris and her team have still made communication with Arab American leaders a priority.

During a campaign trip to Michigan last week, Harris met with Abdullah Hammoud, the 34-year-old mayor of Dearborn, a Detroit suburb that has the largest number of Arab Americans of any city in the United States. The meeting was disclosed by a person who was not authorized to discuss it publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

The person familiar with the meeting did not provide specific details but said the focus was on Harris’ potential policy, if elected, on the Israel-Hamas conflict. Hammoud declined to comment.

“Vice President Harris supports the deals currently on the table for a permanent cease-fire in Gaza and for the release of hostages,” her campaign said in a statement. “She will continue to meet with leaders from Palestinian, Muslim, Israeli and Jewish communities, as she has throughout her vice presidency.”

Campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez on Thursday held separate one-on-one meetings with leaders in the Arab American community and “uncommitted” movement in metro Detroit.

“They are listening and we are talking,” said Osama Siblani, publisher of The Arab American News, who met with Chavez Rodriguez. “But none of us can garner votes in the community without public statements from Harris. She doesn’t need us; she can win over votes by saying and doing the right thing.”

According to Siblani, Chavez Rodriguez agreed that “the killing has to stop.” In response, Siblani said he pressed: “How? There is no plan.”

Lavora Barnes, the Democratic chair in Michigan, said the party would “continue working toward our goal of coming together to defeat Donald Trump and Republicans up and down the ballot.”

“We are committed to continuing these conversations with community leaders, activists and organizations because we want to ensure that everyone in the Michigan Democratic Party has a seat at the table,” Barnes said in a statement.

No agreement on an arms embargo
Some on the Democratic Party’s left have called for including a moratorium on the use of U.S.-made weapons by Israel in the platform of policy goals that will be approved during next week’s convention. But such language isn’t included in a draft platform party officials released earlier this summer, and it’s unlikely that those close to Harris’ campaign would endorse including it.

The Uncommitted National Movement has also requested a speaking slot at the convention for a doctor who has worked on the frontlines in Gaza, along with a leader of the movement. And they have asked for a meeting with Harris “to discuss updating the Gaza policy in hopes of stopping the flow of unconditional weapons and bombs” to Israel, said Abbas Alawieh, another “uncommitted” delegate from Michigan and one of the founders of the movement.

Before a Harris rally just outside Detroit last week, Alawieh and Layla Elabed, co-founders of the movement, briefly met with the vice president. They requested a formal meeting with Harris and urged her to support an embargo on weapons shipments to Israel. According to them, Harris seemed open to the idea of meeting.


However, shortly after news of the meeting became public, Harris’ national security adviser Phil Gordon reaffirmed that she does not support an arms embargo. Alawieh mentioned Wednesday that the group has not received any further response from Harris’ team or the DNC regarding their requests ahead of the convention.

“I hope she doesn’t miss the opportunity to unite the party,” said Alawieh.

The Trump campaign continues its outreach
Elsewhere in metro Detroit this week, Massad Boulos, the father-in-law of Trump’s youngest daughter and now a leader in his Arab American outreach, was holding meetings with various community groups. Boulos has come to Michigan often for the outreach, along with Arab Americans for Trump chair Bishara Bahbah.

According to Bahbah, their pitch highlights the situation in Gaza under Biden’s administration and a promise from Trump’s team to give the community a seat at the table if he wins.

“We have been told by the Trump circle, which is not part of the campaign, that in return for our votes, there would be a seat at the table and a voice to be heard,” said Bahbah.

But any apparent political opportunity for Trump in the Arab American community or the “uncommitted” movement may be limited by his past remarks and policies.

Many Arabs remain offended by Trump’s ban, while in office, on immigration from several majority Muslim countries as well as remarks they consider insulting. Trump also has criticized Biden for not being a strong enough supporter of Israel.

Speaking to an audience of Jewish supporters Thursday, Trump painted the protesters expected in Chicago as antisemitic and invoked an Arabic term that is sometimes used by Muslims to mean war or struggle.

“There will be no jihad coming to America under Trump,” he said.

But Bahbah acknowledges that his and Boulos’ strategy isn’t necessarily aimed at converting voters to support Trump — but to stop them from voting for Harris.

“If I can’t convince people to vote for Trump, having them sit at home is better,” said Bahbah.

Kinda wild to be shitposting alongside basically celebrities like yourself. This website is wild.

What's the source to this post? Zero link, zero video, and an absolute waste of time because I just spent a couple of minutes finding a three month old video the screenshot from is referencing and reading the transcript.

The woman mentions title 18 and says "down in the fine print", yet never mentions the chapter and section number. Title 18 of the criminal code is huge and covers everything from arson to cruelty to seamen.

It's right here.

I've heard people speak of Pharma the same way in the past since medical treatment is traditionally about as optional as energy or food

Civilization has trucked right along for thousands of years without the ability to keep elderly people alive on oxygen and chemo and God knows what else a few extra years. They collapse in weeks when there's no food.

“It is a way for protesters outside

Why outside?
They will hear your concerns better if you get inside.

 

[6MillionCoofs]

instead of just doing fun stuff.

They’ve already done all the other fun stuff. Eventually you’ve done everything you’ve ever wanted to do and still have too much money.

So why not play God. It’s like IRL Sims to them. It sounds very fun honestly.

People need to realise, to them, this is fun.

I will agree with you but consider this you have one of the sickest populations in the world. Half of the under 40s need some sort of prescription to not blow their brains out or commit mass murder . Just removing blood pressure, heart medication and insulin you can easily take out 20% of the USAs population. I would not gamble with it if it was you.

And the replacement for those missing workers is infinity niggers.

I think they want to ensure that Kamala and the idiot who chained himself to her as VP, and her staffers, and any Biden apparatchiks dumb enough to hitch their wagons to her are cleansed in nuclear fire from ever coming back in future elections.

They want 2028 to be a clean slate for the likes of Newsom, Whitmer, etc. We are witness a very public and very humiliating house cleaning.

Apologies, I fixed it. But I’m not too sure. With Kamala I feel they’ll try some fuckery to try to get her elected. I hope I’m wrong but with these fuckers you never know.

 

[Rykel22]

I think the plan was to try and win, but Kamala's negative charisma and utter reluctance to do anything to ingratiate herself with the media is turning an ally into an enemy, or at least making them turn neutral.
