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

 

[WelperHelper99]

I'm not sure they can really do that again. They haven't acted like a party that is confident it can just steal whatever it wants, not since the special election in Georgia back in 2021, and that was held on January 5th.

As i've said, in order for the dem's to cheat, they have to BELIEVE that they can. 90% of achieving a goal is willpower and faith. If you don't have that, you can't do shit. Trump has been utterly demoralizing since his assassination. He keeps rising, climbing, and honestly i don't really see anyone talking about Kamala. If you think you're going to lose, you're going to lose because your soul is already broken. That is the Democrats right now.

Now that surf mommy endorsed Trump, I think there are more Ds openly supporting Trump than Rs openly shilling for kuhmala

I can imagine democrats, especially young ones, seeing how they basically staged a coup and spent millions of dollars astroturfing a woman that no one likes and that no one ever elected for anything in an honest way, think that they have no future in the DNC as it is right now.

RFK Jr. saw this and noped the fuck out, Tulsi did now too and I hope the smart ones at least, follow suit. The sheer fact that they managed to turn a Kennedy of all people, against the party should speak volumes about how bad it has gotten.

Oh, how much fun...

They're of course acting like it's paying out disability benefits to greedy wounded vets.

For this year, the VA had expected to spend about $193 billion on benefits payments for veterans.

So far, disability benefits payments are slightly less than the Veterans Benefits Administration had projected for the year to date, but officials anticipate an increase by the end of the year, according to the slideshow obtained by Military.com.

eanwhile, health care accounts could be nearly $12 billion short next year because of higher-than-expected staffing and prescription drug costs, among other factors.

"I understand that priorities may change, but it boggles my mind how the roughly 10,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) workforce reduction and the nationwide VHA hiring restrictions that you defended just a few months ago have already become a more than 22,000 FTE increase," he wrote. "Hiring quality health care workers is difficult enough without a constantly moving target."

This is the reality.

Tons of fucking DEI and other faggot staffing.

Who radicalized me?

They did.

I've heard (and don't really agree with, despite its plausibility) a similar theory from a couple of podcasters. The theory is that the nebulous they want Trump to win because things are getting bad, the crash is coming, and they want to be able to blame it on the republicans. So they're running a deliberately slipshod campaign with a known charisma vacuum as a nominee because they don't think they can actually win and only have to make it look like they tried.

I doubt either party is capable of 160 IQ 4d chess moves. I think the reason Kamala's campaigns is run like it's controlled by retarded college girls is probably because it is. I think they hired gen z youth because they want that vote and falsely believed they'd be able to impart some inside knowledge about the demographic. Unfortunately that's not how it works, and you hire a bunch of inexperienced young people and they're going to make inexperienced moves, like believing "brat weird" holds any weight outside of a very specific crowd who were probably voting blue anyways. If you're that influenced by social pressures like "weird" you're already influenced by the media pressure that "Republicans are the bad guys, dems the good guys!"

Thats autistic af

I know voting is autistic as fuck

I vote with dollars, and staying liquid, Ill let the liberals vote for gibs me dat, and Republicans vote for more rope in the form of debt,

I invest in popcorn, land, and liquidity.

 

[Your Girlfriend's Dad]

People 35 and under are definitely political, annoyingly so, I feel like most of the people I see online with retarded overly political personalities are more often than not millennials and zoomers and the oldest of those people are in their 40s, I'd agree with you more if you said people OVER like 60 or something aren't political - think actual grandmas and grandpas or something.

1995-2005 is a bit off, a lot of millennials and zoomers will remember the Internet from that time period (not as many zoomers). That's a decade that many children in the first world will have grown up with the Internet around them in some capacity, myself included. My parents got broadband in 2001.

I'd consider early net to be early 90s to late 90s - when BBS and Usenet were big. The people who were grown ass adults and used the early net will be getting a bit old now, likely 60s+, but remember a lot of kids also fucked around with that stuff - people born in 80s and 90s.

Of course we're political. Our future is being sold to BlackRock and we're not even getting dividends.

 

[Overly Serious]

Who ever puts Trump in jail will be set for life among the Democratics.

That'll be a nice consolation during the USA's civil war.

Tulsi is an independent now though. She’s been fully excommunicated from the DNC. It’d be nice to have another moderate that’s still not openly hated by the party to come out and support Trump though.

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

I mean it worked for Biden

He did almost nothing but hide in his basement and let the MSM do all the work for him so yah it makes sense that Harris would think it would work for her too.

This. I'm surprised at how people are surprised that she isn't doing debates.

When she opens her mouth, it makes her look worse, so why would she open her mouth?
"Tis better to stay quiet and let people think you are stupid, than open your mouth and remove all doubt".

Besides, the MSM are already ignoring that Kamala backed out of a debate, they're now saying Trump will back out of 10th September debate. Even if Kamala backs out, all she has to say is "I want to debate, Trump is scared" and that's it. The NPC update will go out that Trump won''t debate and TDS will lock it in people's minds.

Come on, buddy. You've had eight years of this so far, how have you not cottoned on yet?

That negro went back and forth on what he was going to do the whole time. Whatever, go for it Jack.

News cycle back to trump again

 

[Celebrate Nite]

This. I'm surprised at how people are surprised that she isn't doing debates.

The difference is that with Biden we actually GOT a debate.

it was the most horrendous debate ever, but we still got one.

What's Harris' excuse? She can't drop out now, everyone and the media stuck her on a pedestal for 4 days. if she doesn't want another Biden moment, then maybe she should just take this shit seriously for once and actually prepare for the speech.

The media can say whatever the fuck they want. Social media is either hands off (Facebook, Instagram) or pro Trump (Twitter).

Every time mainstream media lies and someone catches them, they lose another viewer. That trend will hit zero as their demographics age out or lose faith.

 

[HOMO FOR LIFE RETURNS]

Dumb poll from morning consult now out.

Cumala still only up 4% in their shitty online poll.

no change since DNC.

l.o.l.

Exactly. One debate, three years into the presidency cost Biden the job. Why risk that again so close to election?

What's Harris' excuse? She can't drop out now, everyone and the media stuck her on a pedestal for 4 days. if she doesn't want another Biden moment, then maybe she should just take this shit seriously for once and actually prepare for the speech.

Why does she need an excuse? The pols say (i know they lie just bare with me) that it's 50/50. If she does a debate it will be 20/80 in favour of Trump. Why would she debate? The MSM does all the talking for her.

The media can say whatever the fuck they want. Social media is either hands off (Facebook, Instagram) or pro Trump (Twitter).

Optimistic that you think twitter, a collection of echo chambers similar to Reddit, is changing anyone's mind. OMB TDS

Every time mainstream media lies and someone catches them, they lose another viewer. That trend will hit zero as their demographics age out or lose faith.

If that were true, not one news channel would have a single viewer.
You can say what you like about lies and twitter but the MSM went on a ban spree to silence people mentioning the Biden laptop that the fucking FBI even said was fake, then, whoopsie daisy, it ackshually wasn't fake but it doesn't matter now.

Throw it on the pile of lies with the piss tapes, rape, russian collusion, bankruptcy, can't drink water, mean tweets, putin-puppet... Have the media ever apologised for it? Have they issues corrections en masse? Have they changed their ways? No. Because nothing has changed.

2020 the election was stolen. Not because shenquia gave votes to biden. Not because dominion rigged the voting scores and not because of a ballot dump. The election was stolen in 2017 when the MSM kicked up the Trump hate 24/7 and used psychological manipulation, subliminal messaging and mass indoctrination using the media, to convince people that Trump bad.

You know what has changed in seven years? Fuck all.

I hope Trump wins, but shit getting better is not the plan of the globalists until 2028/2029. America isn't America anymore, it's been swallowed by the monster it created and is now answering to the same people that France, UK, Germany and the EU are. British PM Kier Starmer has already said "it's going to get worse before it gets better". He wasn't just talking to the Brits.

 

[WhiskeyJack]

I don't really think the Dems used up any political capital in Trumps arrests and trials.

I honestly think that was local pols trying to make a name for themselves. Who ever puts Trump in jail will be set for life among the Democratics. They will be a legend and so the fools with no brains just jumped at the chance.

I would guess that if the DNC had a say they would have put the kibosh on any Trump arrests until after 2024. But I'd wager the morons in NYC didn't bother to tell anyone and by the time the talking heads of the DNC knew the arrest had been made, the press conferences were done and the MSM was already cooooooming all over the place at the news.

Putting Trump on trial just before the election was a lose-lose-lose situation that anyone with a single brain cell could tell you would backfire spectacularly. Notice it was only the utter morons in NYC that really went to town on it and NY pols have a reputation for massive stupidity for a reason. So no, I think the DNC didn't pull for it and would have stopped if it they could/knew.

Never underestimate the incredible levels of stupidity and ego that comes out of Jew York City. The place is a hell hole for a good reason.

These lawsuits are all over the place, not just NYC. New York was simply the one that got far enough along to have it go to jury. The others have all largely fallen apart, due to incompetence by Democrat prosecutors and bad evidence handling, among other reasons. Not having a case being the main issue, really.

More specifically, the armed Mar-a-Lago raid and subsequent arrest and mugshot being leaked was straight from the Biden Administration itself, not some rogue politician trying to get media accolades.

If the DNC doesn't have the power to reign in their idiot prosecutors/judges, they also don't have the control necessary to pull off a multi-state steal again. And Biden's people wouldn't have done what they did if they were confident they can just print ballots as needed.

If that were true, not one news channel would have a single viewer.

I'm arguing it's trending in that direction, not that it's there already. Boomers and Gen X watch the news, and less do over time. The CNN viewership numbers tell the same story. They are a sinking ship.

FOX jumped on the same doomed boat when they let go of Tucker. They are legacy media. They are in the same dire straits as the newspapers. They will inevitably be left behind and we're seeing their latest attempt to squeeze blood from their own stone by taking money from PACs at an increased rate. That's why the propaganda is getting worse.

They're in a decline, but not because people are pissed off at the lies. The legacy MSM are transitioning to where the gaming industry is right now; focus on a group of religious fanatics and milk them for all they are worth. Reddit does the same and Musk capitalised on it by charging for the Blue Tick.

I like Trump, and RFK jr and Surfer milf is easy on the eyes. But three people vs the system is a tough fight.

I've been thinking about this the whole day and it's likely that the Democrats aren't expecting to win presidential elections but local elections. Kamala is a deeply unpopular candidate and there's been real zero excitement from the big players to support her—they all look like they've been pushed and forced to try and come up and say something nice about her. Kamala is not endorsing anyone in local politics either, and I can assure you many senators aren't running as part of the "Kamala formula," as some Trump-supported senators and governors have had.

Kamala's honeymoon ended a few weeks ago, but what really ruined her was when she began spouting communist bullshit about price gouging. People here have speculated that Kamala's faction in the DNC (the progressives) is at odds with the faction in charge (the neolibs).

Biden was a back to neolib globohomo politics with a familiar face, but he desperately needed a DEI VP pick to keep those Hilldawg supporters happy, plus she's a black woman! During his term, she was basically a useless toy because she's bad at everything. However, things have now backfired and the Dems are stuck with her, at least for this cycle. She was never meant to get this far and I seriously doubt that the DNC has the will to rig an election for a candidate they don't believe in. If it was a superstar then sure. They also know Orange Man isn't THAT bad and were able to work with/around him for four years. If anything, Trump is a great fodder to push faggotry and identity politics.

Remember that the globohomo agenda is at odds with communism. They might come out and say, "capitalism bad, eh?" but then they'll continue with the same neoliberal principles they've been pushing, all under the guise of revolution. I wouldn't call Kamala an actual communist, but it does sound like she's Marxist-adjacent/has socialist principles. Her proposal to fix food prices is so fucking bad that I don't understand how the powers that be can root for her. The only real issue she shares with them is keeping the border broad open so that illegal immigrants can work for a penny. However, even Kamala has been forced to campaign AGAINST that just because of how bad things have gotten.

However, don't get too cocky. Just because they won't put up a fight it doesn't mean that their acolytes won't as well. I'm talking mainly about the media and how it will continue to be filled with propaganda. Go out, vote, and make sure your friends and family vote too.
