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

 

[republicanchink]

You can move up or down a few degrees depending on how hard you're willing to work, but you're anchored to what your potential ultimately allows.

luckily we haven't really gotten to the point of late stage capitalism where every industry that requires you to make money requires higher IQ, or every single market is priced out to the point where the only way to make money is quite litterally to invent something new and make a whole new market. This is a huge problem that no one really talks about, 10% of the population has a IQ under 87. and these people are FUCKED. Soon the AI is gonna replace the McDonald's cashier. It's either be a concrete guy / other low skill blue collar job or welfare soon. Which isn't that shit of a life in America yet at least. Equality of outcome sounds nice on the surface, but you can't have equality of opportunity with it.....And the state meddling in welfare, DEI bullshit, etc to lower the standards for some people is really bad. We already see this in college where the drop-out rate is 30-60%+ even at some of the more respectable colleges. Most of the kids were just too lazy, but some just weren't supposted to be there in the first place. And now they are debt saddled with nothing to show for it.

Big if true. Tracks with the accounts of Kamala's leadership style.
View attachment 6392735

This tracks. Her San Francisco campaign office had similar issues when falling in line with Biden after dropping out. Kamala is awful at managing campaign staff which is why their turnover is so high. The ones that stay are genuinely insane.

 

[Sweeter and Savoury]

Oh goody. The MSM is already laying the groundwork for Harris's potential embarassing performance at the debate

Oh no! She didn't fuck up it was that the rules stopped her from performing to her best. Trump didn't win the debate, the set up was all in Trumps favor.


just imagine how much better our world would be if all these "journalists" just happen to drop dead.

I will say this and maybe I may say it again ...atheism and apathy has ruined social liberalism. It is not built on the foundation of rock. It is built on the foundation of emotion and power.

Overwhelming 80%+ majority of the atheists support Democrats. They fool "kind" hearted believers of faith to support them and then turn around & backstab them all when they come to power. Arabs have learned that the hard way. Though sandniggers are dumb by nature.

Anyone else miss the days when atheist just meant “doesn’t believe in God” instead of the tranny lover connotations it has now? I feel East Asian atheists (like from Japan and China) still fall into that former category.

I get the impression she sees staffers as genies whose job is to deliver her whatever she wishes at the instant she demands it, and if they don't do this she flies into a rage. Is it a way of compensating for being out of her depth and promoted beyond her ability? Accusing everyone around her of being incompetent because she sees it as taking the focus off of mistakes she makes?

Johnny Rotten was the only non retarded member of the Pistols.

He has always been a decent man at heart and lived with a conscience -
Johnny Rotten called out Jimmy Saville's disgusting track-record back in the late '70s and was essentially blacklisted as a result -
Him and his wife assumed responsibility for their grandchildren when (her) daughter failed as a parent -
He nursed his wife of 40+ years through the final stages of Alzheimer's -

Can't help but love the guy, IMHO.

Everything I've seen of the Japanese makes me see them as areligious religious people. With complete sincerity they'll profess a belief in Buddhism(?), but they don't stress over it, for or against.

I lived in Japan for a few years.

They are very much not religious but spiritual people they hold/held every mountain river etc had a spirt.

It's also keeping with cultural psychology they are very communal culture and most have a side to themselves they keep to themselves.

 

[republicanchink]

These people have zero moral or ethical standards, on purpose.

They have no loyalty, no policy, no goals outside of gaining power over society for their sole benefit. There is nothing they can say that cannot be flipped 180 on a seconds notice and their supporters will cheer on like members of 1984 getting a chocolate ration increase. They see hypocrisy and lies as a legitimate tool for social change but only as long as they are the ones doing it.

They will agree to terms, hold you to only what benefits them then laugh at you when you expect them to hold up their end of the bargain. They exist solely in a vague world salad area of language where nothing means anything until they need it to mean something then a minute later it goes back to meaning nothing again. They hold you to everything you have ever said and done and they admit to no error ever. History is only what the Left needs it to be for that day then tomorrow they will all agree it's something completely different.

Again...how do you treat with a group like this? You cannot barging with them, you cannot hold them to any agreement they make, you cannot make terms with a nebulous conglomeration of feelings that change from one minute to the next all depending on what benefits them at that exact second. When hypocrisy is the standard they openly live by but yet the Right goes on treating them like actual people...what do you do?

How are people on the Right supposed to co-exist with a faction who sole goal is their destruction, who will use any method possible and then turn around and get mad at the Right for fighting back?

I will say this and maybe I may say it again ...atheism and apathy has ruined social liberalism. It is not built on the foundation of rock. It is built on the foundation of emotion and power.

Overwhelming 80%+ majority of the atheists support Democrats. They fool "kind" hearted believers of faith to support them and then turn around & backstab them all when they come to power. Arabs have learned that the hard way. Though sandniggers are dumb by nature.

Many of the left are all in the younger generation, They have not lived history, the history they are taught in school is the way the deep-state wants it taught. Full of omitted information and doublespeak. They do not know of the speeches hitler, stalin, trotsky, mao, etc, gave, using the same logic and rhetoric that they believe in, to support "socialism". The same promises to the people from politicans as reagan summarized it "I'm from the government and I'm here to help". These people will give their votes for retarded social issues like gender and abortion politics, that the dems use as a sideshow, to distract them from the fact that the establishment dems are just as same as the establishment republicans. They want more control over the people, more consumerism, and more money in corporate pockets. I think the far-radical antifa type left are the only ones on the far left that know deep down, if a civil war came, we'd just shut off their utilities and oil, then watch their dem cities burn to the ground. I don't think it's ever going to come to that. The deep-state establishment is just going to continue to brainwash everyone into hating each other.

the binge drinkers and amphetamine enthusiasts were significantly smarter.

The legend Lemmy once again vindicated from beyond the grave -

"High Times? All you guys write about are faggot drugs like ecstasy and mar-i-juan-a -
Your magazine never tells the truth about speed, they’re so fucking precious, aren’t they? ‘Oh, we just smoke marijuana.’ Hooray for you! What do you spend your time doing? Dreaming of times gone by, burning holes in the front of your fucking shirt? I smoke dope. I’ve smoked enough dope to make your fucking head swim.”

Kamala Harris had planned to object, fact-check and directly question Donald Trump while he was speaking during their debate next week. But now, with rules just finalized to mute the candidates when their opponents speaks, campaign officials said Harris advisers are scrambling to rewrite their playbook.

How is this not in her favor?

• There are VERY few politicians who can go toe to toe in a verbal trash fight with Trump, and Kamala isn't one of them.
• Kamala has a shrill voice and tries too hard to project authority and leadership. Her trying to dominate trump will just make her look like an annoying bossy bitch.
• Trump has some serious munitions to against Kamala and Biden. The last thing she needs is Trump casually tossing grenades at her when she is speaking, throwing her off.

All she needs to do is stand tall, speak calm and clearly, and the media would do the rest.

Harris and her team — holed up in Pittsburgh for a multi-day debate camp — wanted unmuted microphones so that the vice president could lean on her prosecutorial background, confronting the former president in the same way she laced into some of Trump’s Supreme Court nominees and Cabinet members during Senate hearings.

And his SC nominees got in so that plan didn't work. Not sure why they think it would work with Trump, especially when he can talk back.

Several Democrats said that since Harris is known for meticulously preparing, sometimes over-preparing, for major events,

Is that what they call drinking now?

Is there a way to push people from the former category to the latter? The infiltrator mentions that the celebration of a person being cancelled tends to be very short-lived; they already don't get much enjoyment out of it. Maybe there's a way to convince people like this that politics is a joke and nothing matters at all except gooning to furry porn. If enough people could be memed into making this change in their thinking, the left would lose many of its most effective foot soldiers.

Demoralization works. Convince them they will never be able to vote themselves into a commie utopia and science will never give them one either (but will give government killbots ready to crush their revolution like a bug). Since voting won't give them a commie utopia, all they're doing is voting for mainstream Democrats to bomb more Palestinian babies and compromise with Republicans on giving tax breaks to corporations.

But I don't think anything can truly work as long as the media keeps saying Drumpf is literally Hitler out to turn the country into The Handmaid's Tale. Leftists are amoral enough that they'll vote for the same Democrats to "save" their life of debauchery. That's why the media these days uses literal information warfare against Americans. The minute they can't convince you that Trump will sign an executive order replacing the Constitution with Project 2025 (the version with RWDS shoving troons into cattle cars) right after being sworn in, you might start thinking he's not any worse than other politicians. You might vote for a third party candidate who matches your commie utopia dreams and isn't funding Israel to bomb Palestine, or even not vote at all. That's why Western media increasingly resembles that of a totalitarian state.

Several days ago, Nikki Haley announced she will be quitting politic and cash in on her golden corporate parachute.

Fucking rhinos.

Good riddance!

Punish them when they cheat you, when they attack you, when they fuck you over. You punish them back. It's that simple. When they break a bargain you drop your end and go back to what you were doing before. When they attack you, you defend yourself and then you retaliate in kind. When they fuck you over, you do the same to them next chance you get.

The left functions like it does because the right doesn't respond. When antifa got to be an issue, going around and assaulting people and doxing people. The right got organized and you had people like the proud boys who responded in kind. There were a number of occasions the proud boys and other groups beat the shit out of antifa shitheads. That's why the media started screaming about them. Why the FBI/glowies were all over them. The right isn't supposed to fight back. If you noticed, antifa isn't attacking people, burning shit down and being a issue like they were during 2020 or even 2016. Its cause the right fought back and the left learned it can't fight righties in the street.

Or when the schools started pushing DEI and LGBTQ bullshit too much. What happened? Moms for liberty and other groups of concerned parents started going to meetings and running for school boards. Taking over and changing education from indoctrination to what its supposed to be. Some people even took their children out of public education all together. Putting them in private schools via vouchers, or forming homeschool pods with other parents. And then what happened? The media started screaming and the FBI came running. Education is supposed to be the left's domain. Right wingers aren't supposed to care, their supposed to grill.

That's why Trump getting into power is so important for us and them. So he or someone under him can gut the FBI. Destroy it and perhaps than right-wingers won't be afraid to organize or be limited in the actions we can take.

I'm seriously considering making 99 more accounts just so that I can give no-nonsense red-pilling posts like these 100 s! (By the way, how do you give s and s?)

Didn't people say she was supposed to be the president candidate if Trump died? It fits with how embarrassing her performance was at the convention and what she's doing now.

I guess this means the 2nd assassination attempt has been cancelled? Or does anyone think Ron DeSantis is also one of theirs? (I'm not saying he's not, I just haven't seen evidence of it beyond the retarded antisemitism law thing. And by "theirs" I don't mean "da jooz!", I just bring up the antisemitsm law as it's a blatant violation of the 1st Amendment.) Or, now that Trump has picked a VP would the nomination go to him rather than the person with the second highest number of votes? (Which would be Ron, if Nikki has quit, since he came 3rd in the primaries, although didn't acually finsh as he withdrew to support Trump against Nikki obviously.)

She's gonna reply that he helped kill a border funding bill. And Trump will go "you've flip flopped on the wall after the dnc found out it isn't polling well." I really hope Trump calls her a marxist on air. That would be wild. Pipe dream i know.

I hope Trump calls her a cultural marxist on air and uses the term often generally. It needs to be more mainstreamed and replace the retarded "woke".

Seeing John "Johnny Rotten" Lydon becoming a Trump supporter in real time, much to the seething of leftoids, was a fucking trip.

He didn't support Trump at first as he just thought he was another corrupt billionaire only in it for himself and the elite and that he would maintain the status quo and start more wars and stuff. Although he did like the "MAGA movement" in terms of the supporters as it and they were so anti-establishment, regardless of what he thought of Trump personally. Trump's presidency won him over though as it convinced him he was genuine so now he supports Trump.

Quite clearly this is 100% US politics.

I’ve heard that liberal women are happily surprised when they take a chance and date conservative men. I suppose it has to do with them being mostly orbited by leftist men who - if they’re not gay - are soybois with a nauseating penchant for simping and cuckoldry. Even liberal women can’t escape their biology which makes them yearn for real men.

[Dog-O-Tron 5000v5.0]

I get the feeling the debate will be underwhelming. There's no way Kamala does worse than Biden, I think it will be business as usual. The dems will just claim she owned Drumpf with prosecutor energy and cheer because hey, at least she's not senile.

Well it was always going to be this. Neither side will ever admit their side lost. They always say they won, even when they didn't. The one exception was Biden because he was so terrible they couldn't get away with not acknowledging it. But them doing so was huge.

100%. Even after biden's disaster the left focused on 'lies'. I was watching them live during it and almost right away they were 'uh oh' and 'can't watch' and in panic. A few hours after tried to regroup and say it was tie because Trump 'lied'. But, a lot of streamers said it's over.

The 'joy' thing is indeed basically gone. I don't think that was working and I do think they are in chaos. No message now, no policies, barely any interviews. The only thing that's hard to predict is if she goes for sassy kween, all cocky and she's the DA that puts da felon in da jail all goofy or goes with the 'this isn't a joke, we have to be serious'. They've done both. Her first ad was the somber and dark threat message about how the Republicans hate freedom. Lately she's been trying to be a little more of the sass.

But yeah, unless one of them pukes and runs off the stage from nerves 'both sides' will claim victory. Trump has a some real bad debates in 2020 and the right did the same 'he still won, only one bad night, or it was a tie at worst'.

Big problem is neither can use the 'one bad night' this time since it's the only one. Which is still disgusting and bizarre that she's only doing that.

I they had balls, they would've gone after Biden anytime since 2020

I mean, what could his administration do at this point. No foreign government is going to take him seriously, he's all but admitted to straight up mental inability to run the job by his actions and stepping down from the campaign trail. Any deal he brokers will be null in months, and that's assuming you can get him coherent enough to run one. For better or for worse, he's just keeping the seat warm, his decision maker days are done unless a national scale threat kicks off that needs the US as an entity at the helm, where he'll be a figurehead and not much else.

I get the feeling the debate will be underwhelming. There's no way Kamala does worse than Biden, I think it will be business as usual. The dems will just claim she owned Drumpf with prosecutor energy and cheer because hey, at least she's not senile.

I dunno, there's a non-zero chance she comes out sauced up and potentially a bit worse. Between that and her general attitude, there is a serious risk of her saying something campaign killing - Not just the obvious gaffs, but some off the cuff "policy counter" to a Trump argument or statement that's so beyond the pale that it turns into a millstone around her neck. The kind of thing where even if they backpedal on it after, it becomes "She wants to do X, she just had to stop when everyone hated it." type shit. She'll off the cuff that one of her campaign promises is something like liquidating the assets of the wealthy to prevent the rise of another Trump, or a gun grabbing promise, or something in a similar vein. Something that in the moment sounds like "My audience will love this" and in immediate retrospect is absolutely toxic to anyone who's not an extremist.

 

[Fishmalk Observer]

Whoever convinced Trump to keep the microphones off did good. That couldn't have been easy, considering Trump probably rightfully believe that Kamala is weak and retarded and he could have have destroyed her, but that would have opened a shitload of media bullshit about him being a bully or scary or whatever. The niggercattle eat that shit

I will say tho that Trump has chilled down a fair bit since 2016, and especially since the assassination attempt. I miss the higher energy and shitting on the degenerates, but he looks much more stately recently.

 

[I Hate The Disabled]

She's gonna reply that he helped kill a border funding bill.

So... she's going to have to admit that he has more political power than the sitting President?

I was very surprised when I found out how tiny a minority Christians are in Japan. The Japanese seem to adore Christmas and I've seen plenty of Christian things in Japanese movies, both live-action and anime, as well as in videogames. In fact The Legend Of Zelda was originally a franchise about a devout Christian warrior but they changed the religion in Ocarina Of Time. Some think due to pressure from Nintendo Of America who weren't happy about having Christianity depicted in games for some reason. (They would remove Christian words and symbols from American versions of Nintendo games apparently. I mean from any games for a Nintendo console, not just games made by Nintendo.) Although apparently they've eased up on that censorship now.
https://zelda-archive.fandom.com/wiki/Christianity

Christianity was the intended religion of the Legend of Zelda series prior to the creation of the Golden Goddesses. Based on the real world religion, its existence is very vague, but it is implied throughout the early installments of the series.

https://ganker.com/the-christian-roots-of-the-legend-of-zelda-44004/

Before The Legend of Zelda became known for its somewhat complicated lore and disconnected story lines, the popular Nintendo series had real-world religious influences with Link originally written as a devout Christian warrior.
