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

 

[Jade Philosophies]

That's just fucking sad.
Danny Elfman is awesome and deserves better.


It's either Mark Hamill or Swift.

Or Zelensky.

A handful of men stand on bleachers near the upcoming pro-Palestine rally against the DNC in Chicago with American flags and are confronted by some of the rally-goers.

We'll see what surprise celebrities might show up, but this so far goes along with the strategy I suspect in which there will be no charismatic figures that'd expose Kamala's lack of charisma by comparison.

Gabby Giffords is partially braindead because of the assassination attempt right? Man that will be hard to listen to.

Seems to me that the media at the DNC are talking quite a bit about this band of "Uncommitted" DNC delegates that are trying to get their Palestinian grievances on stage tonight. One of the speakers they're recommending from a list is Georgia State Representative Ruwa Romman, who showed the speech she intended to give to mother Jones:

My name is Ruwa Romman, and I’m honored to be the first Palestinian elected to public office in the great state of Georgia and the first Palestinian to ever speak at the Democratic National Convention. My story begins in a small village near Jerusalem, called Suba, where my dad’s family is from. My mom’s roots trace back to Al Khalil, or Hebron. My parents, born in Jordan, brought us to Georgia when I was eight, where I now live with my wonderful husband and our sweet pets.

Growing up, my grandfather and I shared a special bond. He was my partner in mischief—whether it was sneaking me sweets from the bodega or slipping a $20 into my pocket with that familiar wink and smile. He was my rock, but he passed away a few years ago, never seeing Suba or any part of Palestine again. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss him.

This past year has been especially hard. As we’ve been moral witnesses to the massacres in Gaza, I’ve thought of him, wondering if this was the pain he knew too well. When we watched Palestinians displaced from one end of the Gaza Strip to the other I wanted to ask him how he found the strength to walk all those miles decades ago and leave everything behind.

But in this pain, I’ve also witnessed something profound—a beautiful, multifaith, multiracial, and multigenerational coalition rising from despair within our Democratic Party. For 320 days, we’ve stood together, demanding to enforce our laws on friend and foe alike to reach a ceasefire, end the killing of Palestinians, free all the Israeli and Palestinian hostages, and to begin the difficult work of building a path to collective peace and safety. That’s why we are here—members of this Democratic Party committed to equal rights and dignity for all. What we do here echoes around the world.

They’ll say this is how it’s always been, that nothing can change. But remember Fannie Lou Hamer—shunned for her courage, yet she paved the way for an integrated Democratic Party. Her legacy lives on, and it’s her example we follow.

But we can’t do it alone. This historic moment is full of promise, but only if we stand together. Our party’s greatest strength has always been our ability to unite. Some see that as a weakness, but it’s time we flex that strength.

Let’s commit to each other, to electing Vice President Harris and defeating Donald Trump who uses my identity as a Palestinian as a slur. Let’s fight for the policies long overdue—from restoring access to abortions to ensuring a living wage, to demanding an end to reckless war and a ceasefire in Gaza. To those who doubt us, to the cynics and the naysayers, I say, yes we can—yes we can be a Democratic Party that prioritizes funding our schools and hospitals, not for endless wars. That fights for an America that belongs to all of us—Black, brown, and white, Jews and Palestinians, all of us, like my grandfather taught me, together.

Emphasis: "For 320 days, we’ve stood together, demanding to enforce our laws on friend and foe alike to reach a ceasefire, end the killing of Palestinians, free all the Israeli and Palestinian hostages, and to begin the difficult work of building a path to collective peace and safety."

Lol, even when attempting to moderate their messages to the public, they still unwittingly show their radicalism.

And his daughter was smoking hot until she married Danny Elfman and got morbidly obese.

Holy shit. Doesn't she have enough money to like, fix all that?

 

[STARS158]

I meant more as in party girl/ Ottoman harem girl. She did nude photos, but from how she carries herself I don’t think she’s like the modern Instagram Thot who lets Arab men shit on her for 10K and a Gucci handbag.

She did what a lot of Slavic girls did and got the fuck out of Soviet Union before they had to be full on whores or get trafficked.

Yeah Melania was signed to a high end agency. She wasn't posting thirst traps on Insta and showing up on the beach mysteriously every week in Ibiza when she says shes supposed to be a Interior Designer.

 

[More AWS-8Q Than You]

Gabby Giffords is partially braindead because of the assassination attempt right?

She's a Dem politician, how could anyone tell?

 

[The Ugly One]

I wonder if the failure of the riots ro deliver shows the impotency of the radical left core when bereft of hidden support and orders from TPTB?

Certainly served a useful purpose. They looked like a small bunch of radical crazy freaks. If any non-fringe Dems were leaning towards supporting Hamas/Palestine vs Israel they're back on the reservation now.

It's a reminder that the radical left is the terrorist arm of the Democratic Party and does its bidding.

 

[Jade Philosophies]

Seems like the touching segment with the Hamas hostage parents last night really hit a nerve with elements of the Left to spur a lot of clamoring over getting an equal Palestinian grievance segment in before the DNC is over.

This is United Auto Workers, one of the biggest unions in the US (in part because it's a conglomeration of unrelated fields rather than specifically the auto industry).

If we want peace, if we want real democracy, and if we want to win this election, the Democratic Party must allow a Palestinian American speaker to be heard from the DNC stage tonight.

I agree. They should let somebody talk about that toxic trainwreck! No, not Kamala, the one in Ohio.

 

[mandatorylurk]

This is something I wondered about, Kennedy has so much LA cache it will ruin him and his wife in Hollywood by endorsing Trump. Even though his wife's never going to get a real role after Curb Your Enthusiasm, she wants to be part of that club. This is where we see which way, well off wealthy man? Endorse Trump to stick to your supposed beliefs or cuck to your wife who just wants to be invited to parties?

Here's the little surprise, Rob, she's going to divorce you either way, you already strayed waaaaay too far off the plantation. It's just a matter of a divorce in 3 months or a year.

 

[World Famous Quasi Payer]

Instead of diving head-first into the alluring pile of bullshit you just laid in front of me, a better question came to mind.

If can't address my points, just say so.

Why is it so important to you that the U.S. evades the label of "empire"? Because I'm kind of tired of having the same conversations over, and over, and over again with different people. I'd like to just get to the heart of why this even matters to you and hopefully people like you I keep coming across.

Its incorrect. It fails to accurately describe the relations the US has with the rest of the world.

The United States of America is a De Facto Empire, not a De Jure Empire. Much like the Roman Empire still referred to itself as a republic. Don't make me dig up Glubb again. The main difference is that America sucks at being an Empire, we don't have the political system or will to do it right.

The romans actually taxed their holdings, recruited from them, directly governed over them and demand tribute from their client states. When is the last time Britain or France coughed up the dough for America?

Aren't we still the only navy on earth that does anything about piracy?

We're the only nation on earth with a navy that can do anything about piracy. Everyone else, even our allies don't have the capacity to do so. Other nations do deploy forces to deal with pirates, but nowhere near the number we do.

 

[mlanguishi]

Pretty sure that's Simone Sanders and not Joy Reid. She's one of Kamala's former whipping girls.

Oh, thanks. Since Reid gone with the bald look I couldn't tell but though that was her. Thanks.

This is not a drill, Dems intend on deploying Robo Floyd!

Its Swift. Hamil doesn't have the star power to blank out a block. He would be announced a head of time. Zelensky idk. Could be him. Not sure what his support would do.

 

[mandatorylurk]

It's either Swift of Bush 43. Either one just makes it easier for people to vote Trump.

If RFK does endorse Trump right after Bush sucks Kamabla's female penis, that should be the biggest wake up to every "too cool to vote republican" phony out there the game has shifted.

edit: it could be Pence which would just be

 

[The Ugly One]

Kostas Moros is a really interesting story of TDS going full circle to, if not being totally pro Trump, at least realizing he's far better than the opposition.


From what Ive gathered on reading his tweets:

Californian infected with TDS in 2016. Voted for Hillary and was horrifed when orange man won.

Wanted to buy a gun so he could defend himself against the inevitable Trump stormtroopers who would come to take him away.

Because California, he had to deal with all kinds of fees, wait periods, and firearm neutering. This annoyed him, so he looked into who had made their retarded gun laws.

Upon discovering it was "his side" oppressing his ability to defend himself against Trump, he basically did a 180 and become a pro 2A California attorney who is very much against the Democrats.

This is why I don't respect libtards. They cannot imagine how doing something retarded will have bad consequences until reality is bludgeoning them in the face with it. Why don't you just not do the retarded thing to begin with, libtards?

If its Dubya, I'm gonna roll my eyes. 20 years ago, you literally called this guy hitler and a dumb motherfucker. Now you're cozy with him? I know he's a part of the in-group with Obama, Clinton et. al. But there's gotta be some Gen Xers who remember GWB as scum of the earth.

 

[Puff]

Guys, stop fucking around. It's Swift. There have been rumors for days of her going and now there's a blanked slot with a surprise guest right after she's getting back from England.

 

[Breadbassket]

Former presidential candidate and current Trump advocate Vivek Ramaswamy visited the protests outside the DNC and had a discussion with members of a communist group tabling, even purchasing one of their newspapers.

Or it could be nothing.

Then it's gay.
