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

 

[Honka Honka Burning Love]

If I recall the proposed solutions to stop it from crumbling down are to either tax people more or raise the retirement age so that's nice.

Yes lets tax people more then put it in some sort of Lock Box..that the government can't spend from.

That idea has never been tried and failed...

One term Trump, two Vance.

A sound strategy but it relies on the modern rightwing to not be addicted to losing. These dudes will post shit about how the leftwing have made great strides in pushing the overton window to the left generation by generation but the concept of doing so themselves is actively resisted.

Kamala says FEMA is giving $750 “for folks who need immediate needs being met” and that “The President has approved the governor’s request for 100% federal reimbursement of local costs.”

 

[Vaclav]

Oh? It is?

Please give us all your twelve-step presentation for how to fix the U.S. then, I'm sure everyone's interested in how to fix it.

You asked nicely, so:

It has a bit more than twelve steps though.

It's not a bad plan but it does leave a lot up to chance. There would be quite a few presidential and mid-term elections. On top of that to you have to hope the president you want has their party in charge of the House and the Senate.

I always liked Bush JR's idea of throwing it into the stock market for you. If we had our entitlement funds riding the S+P 500 from early 2000. It would have dented the ballooning pyramid scheme. Baby boomers ruined it just like everything else.

Right now I see a dying Democrat party. Who do they have left to face Vance? Whitmer? She reminds me of a mean schoolteacher. Gavin Newsom? A lizard man in charge of the most hated state in America. Both are older than Vance and not nearly as sharp. I don't see anyone else either. They are dying like the Whigs. Democrats don't have kids, they abort them. They have no youth to draw on. If Trump and Vance are strong the addiction to losing is over.

He must have gotten the most mind-shattering heart-seizing head of all time, god damn

 

[Nuns with guns]

I'm rewatching the Tiananmen Square response given by Walz, I didn't pay much attention at first (beyond "I'm a knucklehead") because it's an awful world salad. But holy shit, he sounds so fucking nervous and scared—I have no doubts now that he's a Chinese spy.

 

[Bland Crumbs]

why do you guys always want to cut programs and social security instead of removing the massive military bloat with contractors upon contractors upon contractors

One of the first things I would do if I was invulnerable and president is start auditing the MIC. There is so much money that goes in there and just vanishes. You could probably cut the military budget by 25% just by eliminating spending that goes to nothing not because of fraud but simply by mistake.

I would prefer that we get rid of it and if you are too retarded to properly save and plan for retirement you get to be a Wagie in your cagie till you die.

Why does she want to be the President of the United States? She looks so fucking annoyed to be there. Is it just for the recognition? It's obvious these people don't want to do the jobs they've been elected to do.

To distract people from the debate, Biden's DOJ is further interfering in the election.

Trump blasts DOJ for 'election interference,' calls Jack Smith case a 'scam' after judge unseals key filing
During an election year, DOJ often holds off on major actions during the 60 days leading up to Election Day

Former President Trump blasted the Justice Department Wednesday for having "disobeyed their own rule in favor of complete and total election interference" after a key filing from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s election case against him was unsealed with just weeks before Americans cast their ballots.

U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Judge Tanya Chutkan unsealed Smith’s 165-page filing Wednesday afternoon. The filing lays out his case and the alleged evidence he intends to use in an eventual trial against Trump.

Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges brought by Smith.

But Trump blasted the Justice Department Wednesday evening.

"For 60 days prior to an election, the Department of Injustice is supposed to do absolutely nothing that would taint or interfere with a case," Trump posted in all capital letters to his Truth Social. "They disobeyed their own rule in favor of complete and total election interference."

"I did nothing wrong, they did!" he continued.

DOJ practice during an election year has often been to hold off on major actions in cases that could impact elections during the 60 days leading up to Election Day, an unwritten policy commonly referred to as the "60-day rule." The "rule," which is really more of a tradition because it is not an actual rule, has been cited many times in recent years.

"The case is a scam, just like all of the others, including the documents case, which was dismissed!"

Trump was pointing to the other case Smith brought against him related to classified records. The case was tossed out by a federal judge in Florida who ruled that Smith was unlawfully appointed as special counsel.

The former president further blasted Democrats, saying they are "weaponizing the Justice Department against me because they I know I am WINNING, and they are desperate to prop up their failing candidate, Kamala Harris."

Trump said the unsealing of the Smith filing, which he called the "latest ‘hit job,’" happened because his running mate, Sen. JD Vance "humiliated" Harris’ running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz during Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate.

Trump said the Justice Department "has become nothing more than an extension of Joe’s, and now Kamala’s, campaign."

"This is egregious PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT, and should not have been released right before the Election," Trump said. "The Democrat Party is turning America into a Third World Country that tries to censor, harass, and intimidate their Political Opponents. What they have done to our Justice System is one of the Great, All Time, Tragedies."

The former president added that the Democrat Party "is guilty of the Worst Election Interference in American History."

"They are trying to DESTROY OUR DEMOCRACY, allowing millions of people to enter our Country illegally. They are determined to stop us from winning back the White House, sealing the Border, and MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. BUT THEY WILL FAIL, AND WE WILL SAVE OUR NATION!" Trump posted.

Trump also blasted Smith as "deranged," and said that he, the "Harris-Biden DOJ, and Washington, D.C. based Radical Left Democrats, are "HELL BENT on continuing to Weaponize the Justice Department in an attempt to cling to power."

"'TRUMP' is dominating the Election cycle, leading in the Polls, and the Radical Democrats throughout the Deep State are totally ‘freaking out.’ This entire case is a Partisan, Unconstitutional, Witch Hunt, that should be dismissed, entirely, just like the Florida case was dismissed!" Trump said.

Trump’s comments came in response to Smith's newly-unsealed filing, in which he alleges Trump "resorted to crimes to try to stay in office" after losing the 2020 presidential election.

"With private co-conspirators, the defendant launched a series of increasingly desperate plans to overturn the legitimate election results in seven states that he had lost — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin," Smith wrote.

"His efforts included lying to state officials in order to induce them to ignore true vote counts; manufacturing fraudulent electoral votes in the targeted states; attempting to enlist Vice President Michael R. Pence, in his role as President of the Senate, to obstruct Congress’s certification of the election by using the defendant’s fraudulent electoral votes; and when all else had failed, on January 6, 2021, directing an angry crowd of supporters to the United States Capitol to obstruct the congressional certification."

Smith claims that the "throughline of these efforts was deceit," claiming Trump and co-conspirators engaged in a conspiracy to interfere with the federal government function by which the nation collects and counts election results, which is set forth in the Constitution and the Electoral Count Act (ECA); a conspiracy to obstruct the official proceeding in which Congress certifies the legitimate results of the presidential election; and a conspiracy against the rights of millions of Americans to vote and have their votes counted."

The Supreme Court earlier this year ruled that a president is immune from prosecution for official acts.

Smith was then required to file another indictment against Trump, revising the charges in an effort to navigate the Supreme Court ruling. The new indictment kept the prior criminal charges but narrowed and reframed allegations against Trump after the high court’s ruling that gave broad immunity to former presidents.

Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges in the new indictment as well.

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung told Fox News Digital the release of the "falsehood-ridden, unconstitutional J6 brief immediately following Tim Walz’s disastrous debate performance is another obvious attempt by the Harris-Biden regime to undermine American Democracy and interfere in this election."

"Deranged Jack Smith and Washington DC Radical Democrats are hell-bent on weaponizing the Justice Department in an attempt to cling to power," Cheung said. "President Trump is dominating, and the Radical Democrats throughout the Deep State are freaking out.

"This entire case is a partisan, Unconstitutional Witch Hunt that should be dismissed entirely, together with ALL of the remaining Democrat hoaxes."

Last month, Chutkan said she would not hold the trial for Trump on charges stemming from Smith's Jan. 6 investigation until after the 2024 presidential election. She set deadlines for replies and paperwork from federal prosecutors and Trump's legal team for Nov. 7 — after Election Day.

Put all blackpill niggas like you into crystals and power the entire United States with your whining.

 

[HOMO FOR LIFE RETURNS]

People still give a shit about lolsuit from the government?

 

[LurkTrawl]

Put all blackpill niggas like you into crystals and power the entire United States with your whining.

If I'm just a whiny blackpiller go ahead and sell me your idea of realistically fixing the U.S.

Or alternatively and preferably go fuck yourself with the wide end of a rake, faggot. Don't get pissy at people for pointing out the lack of answers you're helping to demonstrate with this stupid response.

 

[Unzen]

Who do they have left to face Vance?

Agreed on most of your post but you're making a very big assumption that US elections are fair. The average leftwing voter is very onboard with the idea of ideological capture of every institution while the rightwing seems more prone to defeatism and or nitpicking. This election is the truest test of if enough people can be assed to actually fight for some measure of fairness.

Huge mistake to say Democrats are dying when what they are is cornered. If Republicans win and shed their designated loser mindset then good for them, but if not then it doesn't really matter who the Democrats have left. 2028 Democrat nominee Sack of Potatoes will win 105% of Texas. I better not be out there with my boots to the ground election day when the guy on my left is cheating and the guy on my right isn't voting in the first place because his nominee stood next to a jew in 2007.
