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

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

SAMHAIN

Goddamn potato niggers.

 

[Eekum Bokum]

You mean 25% of the electorate and 50% of the base?

America has that many evangelicals? You guys really are fucked. More likely our definition of evangelical is radically different.

Maybe if you had a few more "God, guns, and country" voters, it wouldn't be a crime to criticize immigration or defend your property from marauding migrants with an unlicensed soup spoon. I'll take our Republicans over your Tories any day.

Goddamn potato niggers.

The upgrade was made to pumpkins, thank you very much! They are much better suited for housing stray spirits looking for a place to chill for the night. Plus their seeds are so dang tasty when baked!

Evangelicals are historically huge as a group in America, to the point millions were getting scammed by very charismatic preachers on television and selling their shit (and ruining their lives) before supposed Apocalypses. They started being taken less seriously by the public as a whole after the Satanic Panic was tied with funny monster capture franchises. They were right to have a Satanic Panic though, they just sperged about the wrong shit and with the wrong groups (COUGH THE CIA COUGH.) Many such cases. BUT, they've played a huge role in politics because they vote as a block, yeah? I think that's right. I'm learning! I'm curious about how the Evangelicals in Britland have made their mark.

Polymarket recently had a big price correction. Wisconsin is down 5 points, Michigan is down 15 points.
Kamala only has a slight 3-4 point lead now there. Looks like a lot of Democrat bag holders are abandoning ship.

*Bzzzzt* Load ze internal polling FUD

Polymarket with campaign money seems like a dream come true.

The bets are "ads" and the payout if your person wins can be quietly pocketed. You can also play both so say 700k on Kamala and 300k on Trump. (And you can leave negative comments on your Trump bet) Report as a 1 million ad buy on polymarket. No matter what you come ahead personally.

Is this illegal already or the hot new grift?

Why is this thread so fucking political now? I don’t want to hear about the funny headlines, I just want to grill and talk about Captain Planet again.

Captain Planet was for faggots. Everyone knows Batman the animated series was the shit.

If I was in the zombie apocalypse, I would side with fundamentalist American hicks over a European (or European-wannabe) any day of the week. I have way more in common with them and they are far more decisive.

I stand corrected and I apologize, good sir.

Daily reminder that Samhain has nothing to do with Halloween, and the idea that it does is actually anti-Christian propaganda.

imagine looking at the state of the world after it's been run into the ground by degenerate evil ghouls for the past 20+ years and coming to the conclusion that somehow the Christians are the problem. lol

They made their mark here by leaving for America. But yes i guess my definition of evangelical is different to the American definition. To me a evangelical is the caricature the left paints of every Christian - Evolution denying creationist's, people who only continue to support Israels existence so it can be destroyed and bring in the rapture, although now that i think about it that might be bullshit.

I believe my disdain resides with evangelicals not all christians.

I used to think fundies were completely retarded. When I was younger, I was in favor of people being allowed to live their lives without "archaic" social standards and rules. Now a lot of those rules and values are gone and we are overrun with third world criminals, open drug addicts, LGTBIA+WTFBBQXYZ brainwashing and fucking kids, and open Marxism. I thought it was about civil liberties and found out it was really about bringing down American society.

I still think fundamentalist Christians are weird, but it's hard to argue with them now.

not to mention the fucking rampant STDs.

It turns out those "archaic" christian "rules" had a purpose....

They made their mark here by leaving for America.

And built the country that Britain now kneels to.

I think the results of that attempt are interesting. Samhain being tied to Halloween adds to the eerie mysticism of it all, if anything. OoOoooOOoO. Ancient Irish druid rituals...! If it was supposed to make me hate Christianity then... No, no I don't think it worked. Jesus would hand out full sized fish for Halloween, because he's that cool.

I really don't blame you. When I was a clownlet it was painted as being about civil liberties. One of two things happened. It was intentionally meant to snowball into what we have now, or people exploited and capitalized on what was originally supposed to be about civil liberties to snowball into what we have now. I can go on for hours about how the gay rights movement was an op to trick gay men into destroying the concept of love for themselves after getting the right to marry (and I loathe everything about that.)

But they are pretty cool punk band.

We'll kneel to the French before we'd kneel to America, settle down.

 

[XYZpdq Jr.]

must be a REALLY fucking slow news day, the shmuck filling in for Prager is trying to get some mileage out of the Melania thing

 

[Xarpho's Return]

I see 20/20 as a pyhric victory for the dems, the monkey's paw. They wanted biden in and would do anything to do it. They got their wish. Biden turned out to be a corpse. One that everyone hated. They lost a lot of influence and power by putting him in. Take twitter for instance. It's no longer a FBI honeypot. Pride month is fucking dead. Roe V Wade, dead. They have lost everything since 2020. They are demoralized. Trump on the other hand can only flaunt his trackrecord and the victories of HIS supreme court. And now point out the violence from the left, they tried killing him twice. They are so fucking felted its not funny.

I want to say cheaters never prosper but I'm still too wary of 2020 to be not-doompilled about 2024. The Biden administration did destroy Biden's legacy from being an affable, "willing to work across the aisle" type politician to a hair-sniffing ghoul who put in the most awful degenerates he could find into his cabinet.

This was probably the most pathetic display of American ball-gargling I have ever seen in my life, and I don't think my opinion of Britain will ever recover. I had colleagues in the UK sob about George Floyd on team calls. It was utterly embarrassing.

What it's supposed to do is add to the academic pretension that Christianity stole everything from pagan bullshit.
